A GIFT OF APPRECIATION

Sujin had no clue what would be a suitable congratulatory gift for a woman who had just given birth.

After much struggling, he decided on some flowers for lack of creativity. The flowers he picked up from his mother's shop, because he had confidence in the quality of blooms there. For approximately half an hour, he crouched in the back, picking out the perfect lilies. Sujin chose some white lilies because they signified innocence, and what was more innocent than a newborn baby? He also added in some yellow lilies, because they meant gratitude, which would be appropriate for his branch director.

His gift should not stand out amongst the rest. While flowers were beautiful, they were also typical. Sujin mumbled a congratulations as he set down the gift. If anything, the most eye-catching part of his offering would be the vase the lilies came in. It was tall, white and sort of...ugly. See, Sujin felt like since he was getting the flowers for free from his mother's shop, he needed to do something else...so he made a vase.

Yep. He did it a couple of weeks ago and for some bizarre reason, decided to invite his younger sister to come along. It was a terrible decision, as the girl had little interest in sitting still and spent the entire time distracting him from what was usually a simple task. The finished product was slightly lopsided and weird looking but his sister insisted that it was good enough.

Maybe she just didn't want him to re-do it so they'd have enough time left of the pottery session for him to make her a couple of cups. Matcha green, she demanded. Can we paint butterflies on them too, please?

Afterwards, he took Seoyeon to her favorite ice cream place and listened to two hours of high school gossip.

Did his eyes glaze over at some point during the discussion on who the cutest boys were? Yes. Did he interrupt her? No. Sujin endured. That was his way of showing love.
