(Or: Will owns a flower shop, Mike owns a publishing house, and somewhere between window notes, flower crowns, late-night conversations, and an alarming number of rom-com situations, they accidentally fall in love.)

Summary
Ryland looked down at his clipboard, where he had written a reasonable script, supplied earlier that day by Adrian. Unfortunately, the moment his eyes landed on the words, his brain supplied only terrible ways to say them.
He chose the worst one.
“I need flowers with prominent reproductive structures.”
The man went completely still.
Ryland could feel his soul attempting to leave his body.
“For a plant anatomy lab,” he added quickly. “For my students. Middle school students. Not–” He cut himself off, because there was simply no end to that sentence that would improve his situation. Instead, he just weakly smiled, and added “Science.”
-:-:-
Ryland Grace is brilliant with biology, awkward with adults, and far too invested in giving his students the lessons they deserve. Simon Fleischer is a guarded florist who trusts plants more than people and has no interest in being needed by anyone again. But when a forgotten school lab brings Ryland into Root & Thorn, their lives begin to tangle in quiet, unexpected ways – through flowers, roots, and the terrifying possibility of being cared for properly.

Summary
Beomgyu conducted a survey asking people who is more handsome and so far he got three votes for him, five votes for “you’re both so handsome dear” and three votes for Soobin. The last girl that voted for Soobin impacted him the most. When he pushed his bangs aside while smiling softly, he asked as suavely as he could “If you had to choose between me and this Soobin guy, who would you say was more handsome?”
Her laughing in his face was a stab in his heart, and her reply of “Girl that’s funny have you even seen his muscles?” was the knife twisting in the wound.
Or,
During the summer Beomgyu is prepared to waste away another few months in his borning local grocery store. What he doesn't expect is that this year there is a new student working with him, Choi Soobin.
