By plucking her petals you do not

You felt a little out of place thinking about not seeing Joonie.

You were concerned about his well-being, still hoping you'll get to meet him in some way. You missed him, as well as the laughter and fun you shared.

When you approached your grandmother, she was sitting at the kitchen table, sipping a steaming cup of Jasmine tea.

"How are you, Grams?"You greeted her with cheerful enthusiasm, and she smiled up at you. You sat across from your grandmother and kissed her soft cheek.

"Good morning, little one. You slept well." She laughs "Here are some kimchi eggs with toast. The teapot is still half-full of jasmine tea. Please assist yourself." She motioned to the food platters on the table.

You smile and thank your grandmother, but you can feel her calculating eyes on her as yours meet hers nervously.

"So, Frosty," she glanced up. "Can you tell me where you've been spending your time the last two days? And don't tell me you've been working on sketches for your Verona boss. I came home once after 10 a.m. and couldn't find you. I've even called the house line."

As you inhale deeply, your eyes widen slightly. "Promise you won't get angry first." You linked hers with your pinky finger. Your grandmother grinned as she did your request.

"All right, as long as you weren't up to any mischief," she teased.

When you saw your grandmother's eyes widen in accusation, you looked a little nervous and said, "Er...I know you don't want me to get involved with Mr. Kim--but er---."

"Aww, Frosty... I told you to resist him or stay away from the man...why don't you just listen?" She slammed her palm against the table. She informed you that Mr. Kim is a member of one of the conglomerate's families.

"No, Grams, it's not like that," you groaned loudly as you threw your hands in defence. "Remember when he visited our shop and I...er...did what I did? So, when Chiji and I went to apologize, he wanted me to demonstrate my artistic abilities. So the next day, he asked where I wanted him to take me after the sketches I would do for him. So he took me sightseeing. I promise we're friends, Granma. He's very nice, and I like him. We had lots of fun, grandmas."

"Baby...I understand. But you are still so young. Mr. Kim is a global citizen. He is a world-renowned and mature individual. They are the billionaire's children. He'll marry an heiress or someone of his social standing. It is most likely a pure-bred Korean girl. It would help if you didn't get hurt. Please. " She pleaded with you.

You sigh because it's too late for her warning. You've already fallen for him, hook, line, and sinker. You should hide it for your gram. She had already noticed your crush on the hot CEO. Your heart dropped depressingly as you realized you'd already lost him before you even had the chance to be with him. Your heart refuses to listen.

"Granma...he has already stated that he can only offer me his friendship. I agreed to it. Grandma, I'll never force anyone to love me. Perhaps I'm as unlovable as my mother. She never remarried, dated, or flirted with attractive men again. Grandma, I well know that I don't fit in with him. Even so, I enjoy spending time with him. He likes me as a friend, and he understands how my mouth can just fly away with me. He never passes judgment on me based on what I say, and he enjoys spending his free time with me. Perhaps I can just hope...but I know where I stand with him. So don't fear," you say solemnly.

You and Namjoon texted each other last night, and you always say good night with an "I love you." You don't expect him to say it back because you know he doesn't like you like that.

As she sensed your deflated emotions, your grandmother stood up. She gave you a tight-back hug from your seated position and kissed your pale cheek. Love will sting her grandchild.

She had a feeling Frosty had fallen for the charming Mr. Kim. And sometimes, you can't even help your children find the right path; you can only show them. Her only daughter fell in the ditch, but instead of wallowing in her heartbreak and self-pity, she stood up and made something for herself. Her daughter stood up, dusted herself off, and returned to her studies, even though she was pregnant with Frosty. She raised Frosty entirely on her own.

You could tell that your grandmother was concerned about your friendship with Mr Kim, but you only ensured she understood that you're just friends, even if you wanted Namjoon with all your heart. You want him so badly, even though you know it's wrong to have feelings for someone still in love with his ex-girlfriend.

"Frosty, just be careful, my dear--you're a little too open with your emotions," She looks at you with concern until you sigh and nod in sadness. You were still eating your breakfast, but your appetite had been disrupted thinking about your pathetic love for Joonie.

"Don't worry, Grandma; I don't think I'm his type in the first place. As you can see, I'll get over this crush. In a month or two, I'll be in Italy, possibly marrying Pablo or remaining single." You smirk at your grandmother, who only gives you a soft smile. You know you tell yourself a huge lie. If you can't marry the man you love, you'll never marry.

You and Chiji will be arranging flowers at the Kims'Yacht today. The bride desired a separate layout for the rehearsal dinner, reception, breakfast after the reception table, and late evening club tables. You were ecstatic to see the yacht. Chiji stated that Joons' friend owns the yacht and that he is still a single bachelor. However, they are all under the age of 30. It must be amazing to be wealthy and young.

"Tonight is the rehearsal dinner, so you, Chiji, and the crew will be extremely busy setting up all of the tables. The flower arrangers will arrive today, and the flowers will be transported to the Eurwangni Beach Marina by two small vans. There will be a dock for the yacht. The vans will arrive by 10 a.m. So get ready to join Chiji." Your grandma inform you.

"Oh my goodness, that's so exciting. I'd never been to a Korean wedding before." You appear pumped up all of a sudden. You nearly forgot Joon is a groomsman. Hopefully, he'll be there. You quickly finish the rest of the tea and dash to your room to change into your work uniform. Your pink t-shirt and blue jeans. You tie your hair up in a high ponytail.

Chiji was already waiting to pick you up at 8 a.m. The vans had already started their hour-and-a-half journey to the beach. You can't wait to discover new places.

You and Chiji were so glad that you chatted the entire trip.

"So, my little Frosty fairy...how was your outing yesterday with Mr. Kim, the hot steak?" She chuckled as she teased you.

You burst out laughing, "We had so much fun, Chiji. I created a bucket list of 60 items. --"

Chiji shouts as she interrupts you.

"What!!! A bucket list with 60 items! Who Is stupid enough to make such a list? "She shrieked. You scrunched up your nose, annoyed.

"Me! You sound just like Joonie! Gosh, it would be best if you had humor juice. . You two are so bland. Jeez! " You complained.

"Oh, it's Joonie now. How far did this so-called friendship go? Are you certain you're just friends?" She made you giggle. Her eyes are raised.

"I wish... we only kissed twice. But he said it would never happen again, and I respect his decision, but Chiji, that man is sexy. How will I keep my hands away from him? He's well-built, his abs, and his lips oh my gosh, his tighs--I'm getting the 40-year-old hot flushes now "You say dreamily as you fan yourself again, thinking about your hot make-out sessions.

"Now, you are far gone," Chiji grinned, amused."I understand how much you love Mr. Kim. I feel your pain cuz."

"Grandma told me that men like him only marry heiresses or sophisticated women," you nod regrettably. "I'm going to be a spinster with a cat and detest cats."

Chiji beams "You're being overly dramatic...perhaps it's just a crush or infatuation. It might go away after a while."

You give her a hopeful look. "Do you think so? After this unrequited love has passed, I won't feel so hopeless."You certainly hope so.

After an hour of driving, you arrive in the beach town. It was close to Incheon Airport. The yachts astound you as you drive up to the harbour—the rich and famous's playground.

Chiji beams "Oh, we've arrived...wow! The vans have already arrived. Check out Hijoon... already unpacking the flower buckets. I need to get to Ms. Bae. She is the events manager or planner. She knows where all the arrangements must be set up. Come. We have a long day. "

You could only nod as you stared wide-eyed at one of the world's largest yachts. It seems that it is a cruise ship. It looks like it has four floors. The downstairs level might be for the yacht crew. Chiji said it was a foreign crew, from chefs to spa crews.

"Wow... it's breathtaking... I expected it to be a standard yacht." As you open the door, you hesitantly remove your seat belt. Your entire expression is one of awe. You can wait to explore this yacht.

"Wow...I really like the entrance. So, will we also put flowers here?" As you moved to where the rest of the flower crew was waiting for you, you asked Chiji. They were conversing with a lovely lady. It appears to be the wedding planner and her assistant.

As you and Chiji greeted the ladies, you both bowed. As she introduces herself to you again, the planner is stunning. Your ocean-blue eyes and platinum-blonde hair catch her attention.

"Hello, my name is Bae Sue, and we can come in and have some breakfast. Mr. Kim Seokjin has already started preparing food for the crews who will be working all day... Come. In addition. The flowers are breathtaking." She smiled as she looked at the flower-filled crates for the table settings.

You two board the magnificent yacht.

"Has the bride arrived?" Chiji inquires Ms Sue.

"She went to get her dress finalized, and she and her bridesmaids went to the bridal hairstylist to get their hair styled for tonight's rehearsal dinner. She will look stunning. The cake crew will arrive at noon." She smiled as you followed her to the foyer on the yacht's upper deck.

You and Chiji were transfixed.

"Oh wow!" Your blue eyes twinkled as you noticed some of the yacht crew scurrying around with linen, and the magnificent foyer took your breath away. There were luxurious sofas and coaches all over the place. The interior reveals money.

A butler will show you around. You and Chiji are overjoyed because you just picked up some juice glasses from a table set out for the workers. The yacht crew had prepared a small buffet.

You aren't hungry. You look around and bow to the crew as they do their business. Ms. Bae and Chiji discuss how the flowers should be arranged. You only bring a glass of cranberry juice and follow the two older ladies to the second floor, where the event will occur.

You've been busy for an hour. The tables for the rehearsal dinner appeared to be magical just outside, on the deck.  You must still place the flower arrangements in the wedding venue, reception room, and breakfast room the following day.

The rehearsal dinner is only for the wedding party on both sides. The bride has three bridesmaids. Joonie is at the wedding party. You're wondering who his bridesmaid partner will be.

You were already tired from all of the preparations in the various rooms. The yacht is massive. This bride wants everything to be perfect. Your grandmother was communicating with Chiji, who sent her video images. This is her chance to prove to your grandmother that she can be a head event florist.

Chiji did a great job with the reception room and the wedding room.

The bride chose green and gold for the rehearsal dinner, white and gold for the reception, and the breakfast tables.

When you saw the cake crew arrive, it was already noon. They were carrying boxes of various pastries and sweet treats. It appears to be delicious. especially

The yacht crew secured the four-tiered cake and its glass stands. You were on a ladder, assisting one of the florists in hanging some of the white rose arrangements on the white stage where the couple will say their vows. It's stunning. It makes you want to cry. You wish you could have such a grand wedding one day. If you had to marry Pablo, you would most likely have a small dinner at a local restaurant. The flowers were stunning.

The wedding planner was barking orders at her assistants. You and Chiji just smirked as you observed the nervous demeanour of the draping crew. She doesn't put up with nonsense.

"She looks like a general," Chiji said softly as she arranged a large flower ball around a small pillar. You giggle. It was getting close to lunchtime. You're curious how Joon is doing.

Everyone was racing against the clock. Fortunately, the rehearsal dinner will take place on the upper deck, and the bride cannot see the outcome of the wedding and reception venue.

While the decor crew placed the crockery and cutlery on the tables, you and the flower crew worked quickly and efficiently. You and Chiji made some wonderful friends among the other crews. The setting appeared to be magical. What a lucky bride.

You all ate from the lunch buffet while sitting on the deck. The ambience was pleasant.

Namjoon was exhausted as Shanchai pushed him from one designer store to the next. He and Shanchai had a healthy lunch at a cute, secluded restaurant in Gangnam. Fortunately, they drew no attention because she is still relatively unknown in South Korea. Her new film will help her break into the kdrama. They were dressed in sunglasses and hats.

She couldn't wait to see her soon-to-be fiance. She's hoping he'll formally propose in the coming days because he hasn't mentioned marriage yet. She's just relieved he agreed. Now comes the hard part: becoming his official girlfriend.

Shanchai's personality pleasantly surprised Namjoon. She wasn't as annoying, and he had to admit that he enjoyed the company. . His thoughts would wander to his blonde friend, and he would wonder how she was doing. The more he enjoyed his time with Shan, the heavier his heart felt thinking about Frosty. He is aware that he is not immune to the fact that she genuinely loves him. Frosty is a mystery. He's just not sure how he feels about the unexpected lingering feelings for Frosty. He dismissed the feelings as a physical attraction that would fade once she left the country.

Namjoon had only one love interest and it was, Celine. However, after their breakup, he guards his heart with vigilance. Celine had moved on, but he still struggled to love again.

Mi-Young was openly devastated when she learned that he was going to agree to the arranged marriage with Shan. She shed so many tears that she asked his mother if she could take a week off to adjust to the grief. He felt terrible about hurting her with his decision. She considered resigning because the thought of Namjoon marrying a spoiled brat would break her heart and someone he doesn't even love.

Namjoon took his sister and Shan to the rehearsal dinner that evening. When his Bangtan Elite club heard he was about to get a hitch, they were pleasantly surprised. Congratulations and surprised hollering were flying around.

The guys went to the private lounge of Seojin just to relax and they wanted to ask Joon about the rumors about him spending his leisure time with a blond bombshell. Hoseok just grins because he told the guys about Frosty. He just gave Hobi stinky eyes and the latter was so unbothered.

Yoongi and Seokjin were just smirking at the fourth oldest of the group. Namjoon shook his head and told them just enough about Frosty, and after they heard about the 60-point bucket list, they all wanted to meet her asap.

When he told them about Valen-Joonie-tines day and the strange gifts she bought him, they burst out laughing.

Jimin laughs so loudly, "Oh my goodness! I'd like to see and taste the butt chocolates and the candy bra...that one looks tasty."

Namjoon just smirks and shows them pictures of all his strange gifts.

"My word! you could use it on your honeymoon with Shanchai," Jungkook exclaimed as he saw the candy bra image.

Namjoon did nothing but shake his head. He is unsure about that one.

Taehyung was curious about his toilet paper and private couple games. The boys had a good time while the girls planned the next day's bachelorette party in a private room. They'll have spa treatments and everything.

They even talked about Hobi's wife, who is more hormonal and temperamental than ever during her six-month pregnancy. They can't wait for the arrival of their baby boy.

Seokjin just shook his head. He still struggles to get Puppy Face to accept his love. She is wary about loving anyone. He was a little sad when he heard from his PA that she was on the yacht, and he missed her.

The boys will fly after lunch to Jakarta, to Hoseoks' new hotel, for the bachelor party. They will all fly by private charter jet.

After a lot of champagne and awesome fellowship, Namjoon excused himself and, on the private deck, he decided to text the girl who brought light into his life, Frosty. He doesn't really want to admit it, but she missed him.

NJ- Hello, sweetie, the place looked beautiful with all the flower arrangements. KWON Petals did a wonderful job.

Hi Joon, thanks. We left at 3 pm. I'm sorry I missed you. Tomorrow morning we will be arranging the entrance for the wedding reception and bringing the bridal party bouquets.

NJ-Seokjin said your grandma was also invited to the wedding on Saturday.

F-Yes, but Gran isn't feeling well. That is why Chiji and I took over with the crew today. I will attend the wedding in her place. Chiji and I will make the trip alone. Will you talk to me if I come??

Namjoon grins. Why wouldn't he talk to her?

NJ-Of course I will. I can't wait to see you. Maybe we can do some of the things on our bucket lists.

F-Oh, Joon! That will be so exciting. We can cross three items off our bucket list. I can't wait to see you.

NJ: Sweetie, can we meet for at least two hours tomorrow?

F-Okay, I like that. Are you still on the yacht?

Some of the guests will be going back home tonight because some have to work. But Bangtan is staying. We are leaving for Jakarta at 2 pm. Seokjin'hyungs brother's bachelor party will be in Indonesia.

F- Oh wow...you must enjoy it...have a great night's rest Joon...I love you.

NJ- I'll see you tomorrow sweet night's rest.

Namjoon is relieved that his sister and Shancai will be leaving with Hobi's personal driver, Arthur. Shan will be filming all day tomorrow. which benefits him His mother was curious about when he would decide on the ideal date for the engagement. But Namjoon will not be rushed. He wishes to get to know Shan better.

In six months, perhaps. They must understand his position, or he will refuse to be with Shan. Shanchai was adamant about giving him the time he needed to adjust so that he would not be lost forever. She is confident she will marry him after being his girlfriend for three months.

Namjoon has no idea how to tell Frosty that he will most likely marry and that she has no hope of a future with him...
