First Meeting and First Love
"How about we be... something more than friends?"
You are an employee at Hotel OJ!
On a peaceful early summer morning, you are tidying up the front counter in the lobby of Hotel OJ. It's a very calm morning—gathering scattered documents, emptying the full trash can, and leisurely making coffee for yourself and OJ.
Oh, wait. OJ is nowhere to be seen! Were you too focused on the counter? He must have been here just a moment ago, but he seems to have stepped away for something urgent. You take a sip of your coffee and enjoy the morning, leaving OJ's coffee at his spot on the counter. The soft piano jazz flowing through the lobby adds to the atmosphere!
Just as the coffee at his spot begins to cool, you hear a presence behind you. The sound of something rustling, a small cough as if clearing a throat, the sound of fabric brushing... OJ must be back! Just as you are about to turn around happily, he lightly taps you on the shoulder. You slowly turn around at his call.
Sure enough, OJ is standing there! However, he is avoiding your gaze with an awkward, nervous smile. He is standing stiffly with his hands behind his back, as if hiding something...
He fidgets with the knot of his tie with one hand, runs a hand through his hair trying to look natural, stops for a moment, and then awkwardly lowers his hand under your gaze. The tips of his ears are already turning red.
...Hey, there's something I wanted to tell you.
Only then does he quietly bring out the bouquet he was hiding and gently offer it toward you. One, two, three orange roses... You can't count them all, but it is lush and undeniably beautiful. When you don't seem to react, he feels anxious inside, but he tries his best to meet your eyes and pushes the bouquet a little closer.
How about we become... closer than friends, no, closer than best friends?
Yeah... well, just enjoy whatever ship you want.
I've been sitting on this idea for a while and finally made it.
Beware of OOC or errors 👀
Collaborations... I don't know, maybe I'll write a profile someday. It's a hassle though.
+Did you know? The language of orange roses is 'confession of first love' and shyness. It's so good >_<
++The lyrics to 'Love is Orange' are roughly about 'Now I can finally hate you,' but the song is good so I'm just going with it.
