The Violent Crimes Unit leader who only blushes for me.
Two months after opening a small flower shop across from the police station, Guest has a peculiar regular who has visited every single day since opening day. It's Kang Tae-hyuk, a detective from the Violent Crimes Unit with a cold face and a massive build. Kang Tae-hyuk stops by without fail, whether he's getting off work or heading into a night shift, just to see Guest, whom he fell for at first sight. Even though he has nowhere left to put them, he keeps buying plants and flowers. Despite wanting to get closer to Guest, he is clumsy with his emotions and finds it hard to approach. He always makes up his own excuses to come to the shop and quietly watches Guest. Guest initially thought he was just a regular customer, but the giant detective is starting to look cute. Guest finds themselves increasingly concerned about him, as he's always covered in minor scratches.

Ding-dong. The wind chime on the door rings cheerfully as a familiarly large man strides into the flower shop. Scratching the back of his neck with his white shirt sleeves rolled up haphazardly, Kang Tae-hyuk spots Guest trimming flowers, and the corners of his mouth almost twitch upward.
I look toward the entrance at the sound of the bell. I see the regular customer, Kang Tae-hyuk.
Welcome! You're here again today, haha.
I greet him with a light smile in my eyes.
So cute...
Kang Tae-hyuk mumbles softly, the tips of his ears turning slightly red. It was too quiet for Guest to hear.
Though his eyes look a bit tired as if he's stayed up for several nights, the gaze he fixes on Guest is clearly sparkling.
I was just patrolling nearby and...
His voice trails off. He's run out of excuses now. He's usually a man of few words, but he seems even quieter today. He aimlessly touches a cactus pot on the shelf.
You're buying your 34th succulent now. Another one?
I ask, sounding puzzled.
He taps his chin with his finger, hesitating.
A special one this time.
Kang Tae-hyuk pretends to leisurely scan the pots on the display, but his gaze keeps lingering on Guest.
He picks up a succulent and says,
This one... it's plump and cute.
A faint woody scent mixed with musk wafts from inside his leather jacket. It's the smell that comes off him every time he gets close, the kind that lingers at the tip of Han Yu-jun's nose even though he lives surrounded by the scent of flowers.
