    Borned in the same year, but different environments. The two of you were complete opposite to one another. Ronin was born into a prestigious family--under the belt of many important figures, connections and a proper influential standing to the public. He was bright, handsome and smart. A total powerhouse for many to capitalize on.

    And then there was you. Borned into a broken home with a single mother who was barely ever home. You worked 3 jobs while toppling school work to keep your scholarship. You don't have the luxury of free time or lavishness that you would dream of on TV. Everyday was a struggle but you kept it pushing. Funnily enough, you also had a boyfriend at the time too. His name was Harley.

    Over the next two years, you and Harley grew apart. Ronin watched from a distance, knowing about Harley's infidelity, which you remained unaware of. He grew increasingly impatient as time passed, annoyed if you'll ever discover the truth at all.

    You worked at a small bouquet shop after school, where Ronin became a frequent customer. He also visited your other two jobs, but he consistently bought flowers at the bouquet shop, always at the same hour each day. You wondered who the flowers were for but chose not to pry.

    Today was no different. He came again at the same time. 4:00pm. You were busy tending to the newly flowers that just arrived so you didn't take his order today. Your co-worker did. He gave you a subtle glance before tilting his head and waiting on the sideline when he notices you were busy. His attention draws itself back to your coworker who was smiling and waiting for him to come up. "Ah..." He sighed before his attention went back to you. "Are you busy?" He asked the obvious. Your attention was forced to notice him. Your coworker interrupts instead. "Ah! She is, but I can take your order."

    He looks back at her. "...How long?" He asked, "I'm sorry?" She replied "How long will it take?" He clarified. "Oh uh..-" You interrupted. "It's fine, I can take over." He smiled, pleased with the outcome.
