After seeing the last text, Jimin slammed his phone vigorously onto the counter table. His messaging applications were mostly used to talk to people from work and friends, and also Hana, his ex.

Relationship. University. Works.

He came to this village to distract himself. Could they let a twenty-year-old boy got his rest already? He's had enough.

Placing his chin on the table and gazing out to the rather quiet street, he began subconsciously scratching the new mosquito bite mark on his hand. He regretted for not taking Eunrae's advice last night; he should've applied bug repellent lotion.

This was why summer wasn't his favourite season. He couldn't stand the bugs and the scorching heat, even air conditioner wasn't enough. He sweated a lot, too, and that meant he'd have to change my clothes in every two hours or three when it got too much.

His eyes roamed around the shop, looking for something to kill his boredom because the network service wasn't the best here and there's no wifi. Bringing his laptop here was pretty much useless; he couldn't use it anyways.

As far as his eyes travelled, flowers were the only thing that came into his sight. Maybe it'd be a great idea if he learnt about gardening or taking care of plants. But before he mastered the technique, he was so certain he would have killed at least half of them.

"Jimin!" suddenly, a cheerful voice exclaimed. He turned to the source and saw Eunrae waving at him with a huge grin on her face. She was standing in front of the shop, wearing a plain white gown that went down to her knees.

"Hello there, Yoon Eunrae," he greeted back, standing up from his seat. Just then, itching sensation that came from the mosquito bite surged through his body. He couldn't help himself but to scratch it.

Her footsteps approached the counter while he was still busy doing my business. She chuckled. "That's why I told you to beware of mosquito. Anyways, Jimin! Let's go to a fun place since you look so lifeless," she offered.

He shot my head up with a tangled expression; trying to smile yet still bothered by the itchy skin. "Alright alright let's go."
