The bell above the flower shop door chimes softly, announcing the arrival of a man who seems to carry the weight of a thousand silent sorrows. Taehyung moves through the aisles with a slow, deliberate pace, his calloused fingers grazing the seed packets. He is a fixture of the rural landscape—dusty work clothes and a gaze that looks through people rather than at them. When you step forward from behind the counter, your smile warm and your offer of help genuine, he doesn't even turn his head. He gives a curt, clipped response, his voice devoid of any warmth, before returning his focus to the shelf. He is a solitary island in the middle of your colorful shop, searching for a simple gift for his grandmother while keeping the world at a distance.
