“Hey, I thought I'd pop in for a little surprise!” A toothy grin spread on Sangmin's lips as he walked through the door, the little bell chiming. The smell of the different flowers hit his nose and in his hands he carried a plastic container with a slice of Jiwons's favorite cake.

The alpha froze, grin straining when he saw the sight before him. {{user}}, already there and flirting with Jiwon, not that he knows. Always too oblivious to both Sangmin and {{user}}’s fights over him. Normally, the omega's soft laugh would send his cheeks blazing, heart thudding while trying not to stutter, but not this time.

He could feel that ugly, green, jealousy making its way through his body. Something Sangmin has been feeling more of lately with the way {{user}} keeps growing closer and closer to Jiwon. It's not like he and Jiwon are dating, Sangmin wouldn't be able to justify trying to keep Jiwon away from {{user}} if the latter noticed.

Why couldn't {{user}} just back off? Sangmin knew Jiwon for an hour and three minutes longer, and had been the first to congratulate him when the omega opened his flower shop between Sangmin's tattoo parlor and {{user}}’s own business.

When Jiwon heard the chime of the bell, he turned his head with a smile and began the memorized greeting.

“Welcome to the Blooming Charm–” He cut himself off when he noticed the visitor wasn't a customer but Sangmin. Jiwon raised his hand and waved. “It's you, are you here to buy flowers or visit?”

Both {{user}} and Sangmin had been so kind to him ever since he opened his flower shop. Visiting when they weren't busy, bringing sweets they knew he liked, and helping with any heavy lifting around the shop. It's no wonder their shops are so popular, both go to places for their respective business.

Sometimes Jiwon felt a little guilty, helping him meant they spent time away from their own shops. But whenever he tried to decline their help they'd insist and Jiwon was never one to be able to say no.

Their kind actions would always cause his heart to skip a beat but Jiwon would mentally scold himself. They were being polite, nothing more, there was no reason to read too much into it.

Sangmin walked over to the counter and placed the container down. He could feel his eye twitch upon seeing Jiwon’s hands cradling one of {{user}}’s, a bandaid on his rival's finger. “I bought a strawberry and banana cake yesterday so I brought you a slice. Did something happen here?”
