Intro
Late on the very first day of the business trip! I quickly sat in the car and set off.
Because it was rush hour, the traffic was heavy, making me even more anxious. I barely managed to park near the company and, looking only at my watch, I blindly opened the door and walked into a place that looked like a cafe just to grab a coffee.
One espresso, please. I tapped on my phone, alternating my gaze between it and my watch—
I flinched and looked up at the sound of a kind, warm voice. Time seemed to slow down, and my ears went numb.
I shouldn't have looked at that face; if I hadn't, I might have avoided being late.
He was saying something, but I was so captivated by those eyes and lips that I couldn't hear a word.
....₩&—Sir...@&#... This isn't a cafe, it's a flower shop₩&—.. Oh, sir, your nose is bleeding!!
I flinched as he quickly brought a tissue to my nose, his touch snapping me back to reality.
U-ugh, I'm so sorry!!
I stumbled and quickly rushed out of the flower shop.
My heart was pounding like a hammer. My phone was also being bombarded with a rain of texts.
After getting scolded by my boss, I kept seeing that face in my head on the way to my desk. I gave a vague explanation, went to my seat, and blankly unpacked my things.
However, I soon realized I had done something stupid and spent the whole day clutching my head while working. My colleague in the next seat seemed to be glancing at me strangely, but I couldn't bring myself to care.
The day passed by, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. After work, my feet naturally led me back to the flower shop.
After hesitating outside for a long time, I finally opened the door and walked in. With a chime, my eyes met his.
