"You all have been way too quiet, it's getting suspicious.." My eyes scanned the room, the boys were casually sitting around on couches in the Bighit building.

A whole month's passed since the last photoshoot and it's been awfully quiet.

Ryujin nodded, standing up from where she was seated on the floor.

"I heard that you guys were working on your next album but why do I feel like it's gonna be sooner then we expect.." She pierced Jimin with her eyes as a smirk grew on his face.

The others tried keeping straight faces while standing up.

"Well looks like it's time to go back to work~" Yoongi hummed while shoving his phone in his pocket.

As they all began walking back towards their studios, I glared at their backs.

"I literally work here, how haven't I seen anything comeback related yet- They're obviously hiding something.."

"They havent even been active on Twitter or Weverse, in fact they're totally silent." Ryujin crossed her arms while stealing a final glance at the boys before they seperated into their studios.

"Well my shifts over and they're not gonna tell us anything so wanna go get boba?"

A grin formed on my face while she chuckled.

"Tell Jihyo to meet us there, it's been a while since all three of us went out~"

"Yes ma'am."

☆彡

"So you're saying they might be having a comeback very soon?" Jihyo held her cup while taking a sip.

We nodded in sync.

"All of the photoshoots for them sponsoring companies are over with and I'm getting a new schedule next week."

She hummed before pulling out her phone.

"By the way I talked to Sammy earlier and apparently she's been working her ass off with learning Korean~!"

As soon as she finished her sentence, my phone began vibrating.

I picked it up with a smirk.

"Speak of the devil."

"Hey Haneun!"

"We were literally just talking about you-"

She chuckled before speaking, a excited tone in her voice.

"Well since everybody is here already I'll just spit it out. My second semester is finishing and after that I'll be done with college so my girlfriend and I were thinking of coming to South Korea!"

Gasps came out of everyone as she giggled through the phone.

"And I've also learned a lot of Korean so maybe you guys can help me practice more~"

"Of course!" Ryujin smiled as Jihyo nodded.

After we all talked for another hour, she hung up and we were left as us three again.

"We need to leave before I buy another one-" Jihyo held up her empty cup before a weak smile displayed on her face.

Ryujin laughed before pushing her towards the door, I followed quickly after tossing my empty cup into the trash.

Once we made it back to the apartment, the door opened to reveal two happy puppies at the door.

Koda and Clover followed us to the living room as we sat down.

"It's funny how we live here but are almost never home together." Jihyo spoke while picking up Koda.

"Yeah we're either working or with our soulmates but in the end this tiny apartment is our home~" Ryujin smiled after stretching out on the couch.

"It's already almost been a year since we rented it-" Jihyo's voice sounded surprised as she spoke.

"I wonder how long we'll live here."

I hummed in response before my phone began vibrating.

I pulled it out of my pocket and answered.

"Yes?"

"Namjoon broke his phone and needs you."

"He what?!"

Yoongi's monotone voice made Jihyo laugh as he sighed.

"Come get him before he breaks something else please-"

Once he hung up I sighed, chuckles coming from the girls next to me.

"That sounds like Namjoon alright.."

"The fact that he will be able to just casually buy another phone pains me..." I wiped a fake tear while grabbing my keys and Clover.

"I'll be back later, hopefully.."

Ryujin and Jihyo waved with toothy smiles before I closed the door.

I quickly pulled my mask up before gently plopping Clover down in my backpack, he quickly poked his head out as I crossed the street.

☆彡

Once I opened the door and set Clover down, I turned my head to see Yoongi sitting on a stool.

"How did he even break his phone?"

He shrugged while taking a sip of water.

"I was the last one to get here, Namjoon told me to call you since he couldn't."

I nodded before walking down the hallway.

Once the door opened, Namjoon turned his head towards me cutely.

"Haneun!"

He pushed his laptop towards the end of his bed while patting the spot next to him.

I scoffed before sitting down next to him.

"Before you say anything it was an accident~"

He smiled at me nervously while pulling it out of his pocket.

The screen was shattered completely and wouldn't turn on.

"It fell out of my pocket before I could get on my bike and I maybe stepped on it while trying to grab it-"

I facepalmed as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

"But it's okay cause I'll buy a new one tomorrow!"

"So why did you want me to come?"

"Oh I just wanted to see you, it's not related to the phone thing~" He smiled as his dimples were out, I visibly uwued before he pecked my forehead.

"Wanna go on a walk?"

I nodded as he pulled me off the bed and into a hug before letting me go.

☆彡

Going on walks isn't a hobby, it's a lifestyle.

"How many walks do you think we've been on?" Namjoon's eyes came in contact with mine as he shrugged.

"Probably more then I can count-"

We chuckled before turning onto a familiar trail.

"Even though it's getting colder, the flowers all still look very healthy- I wonder who takes care of them."

He hummed as a response as we walked up to the building.

Instead of it being dark and empty, a light was on.

A surprised expression fell onto Namjoon's features as the door opened.

A familiar looking old lady walked out of the building, carrying a box of purple roses.

"Oh hello you two! How are you doing?"

We looked at each other before realizing who she was.

"O-oh we're doing great ma'am." Namjoon politely spoke while bowing.

After a few seconds, a memory came into mind.

.

As we walked down the sidewalk with Clover, people began looking at us.

Confusion grew as someone walked towards us.

A small old lady handed Namjoon a single purple rose.

"I hope you two and your puppy live a long happy life together~" The old lady smiled at us before walking away.

Namjoon and I stopped in our tracks, slowly turning and making eye contact, confusion being written in both of our expressions.

"That was random but... sweet?" We looked at the rose and then back at each other.

We quietly scoffed with smiles before continuing our journey back to the dorms.

.

"Oh you're the sweet woman who gave us that purple rose!" A smile was brought to my face as she nodded.

"Yes, I recognized you two since I remembered seeing you the first time you came here together!"

We listened as she continued speaking.

"I saw how you two looked at the rose and I happened to have the same one when I was coming back from the markets!"

"I'm planning to grow and plant more around here since they are indeed very beautiful, just like you said."

She looked at Namjoon as he smiled, his cute dimples on display.

"I'm excited to see how it will look once they are all planted~"

The woman quietly laughed with a smile as she held the box of purple roses.

"You two have a good day~"

She gently held them while walking towards a empty spot on the ground.

We bowed before following Clover towards the well known tree.

"That woman is very sweet, the flower garden is gonna look so nice with more purple roses~"

Namjoon nodded while we sat down.

"That purple rose always reminds me of you."

My cheeks turned pink as he smiled towards me.

Our purple hearts began lighting up as he held my hand, showing that our bond was truly strong.

"That single rose is kinda like you in a way."

I watched him as he spoke.

"There were thousands of unique and beautiful flowers that day, but I was only drawn to you."

"Each and every one of them was beautiful inside and out."

"But,"

He took a deep breath as our heartbeats mixed together.

Namjoon's smile was breathtaking as the look he gave me was out of pure love.

"My heart chose the most beautiful flower."
