Hitomi awakened to the morning sunlight streaming through her curtains.
"Second day." she sighed. She found a pair of shorts and a baggy T-shirt
and put them on after her bath. She then walked out of her room for
breakfast. She walked to the kitchen and found Omi busy preparing omelets.
"Ohaiyou, Hitomi! You're early compared to the rest. Breakfast will take some time to be ready. They always wake up late." Omi smiled.
"Good morning. Mm. Smells good. Do you always cook this?" Hitomi asked.
"Most of the time. I change my 'menu'." Omi joked.
"Haha.." Hitomi sat down at the table and watched Omi cook.
"What's for breakfast?" a sleepy Ken entered the kitchen.
"Ohaiyou! Omelets." Omi greeted.
"Smells great." Ken said and plopped down in his seat.
"Oh, Hitomi! What are you doing up so early?" Ken asked.
"I'm used to waking up early." Hitomi answered.
"Oh. As far as I know, only girls and Omi wakes up early." Ken said.
"I used to cook at home. So I wake up early to prepare everything." Hitomi said.
"You cook?" Omi said, laying out the last of the omelets on the table.
"Yes. But I don't think I'm as good as you." Hitomi said.
"Nonsense! Tell you what. You cook for us once and we'll give you a verdict." Omi said.
"It'll be nice to have a change of cooks once in a while." Ken added.
"Okay, if you insist." Hitomi shrugged.
"*Yawn.* I'm so hungry." a half-awake Yohji fell into his chair.
"So. You guys work in the flower shop by day and as assassins by night? Does that mean that I'll have to work in the flower shop too?" Hitomi asked, helping herself to the omelets.
"No need. We have more than enough help, or trouble, for that matter in the shop. If you want, you may help in the back." Aya said and sat down.
"Okay, if you say so."
"You see, there's loads of girls that come in just to see us. Aya totally hates them. And if another guy works in the shop, the girls will surely come swarming in." Yohji explained.
"Sou ka." Hitomi looked at Aya.
"All right. Time for work." Aya stood up and after taking a long sip of his coffee, walked out to the door to put on his shoes.
"Matte yo! Omi was washing up.
"Let me help." Hitomi helped Omi wash the dishes. After they were done, the Weiß group went for work as florists.
"This is the back of the flower shop. All you do here is wrap the flowers for the customers." Ken showed Hitomi.
"We each specialize in a certain type of flower. Do you wish to choose one type now, before the crowd comes?" Omi asked.
"Okay." Hitomi followed Omi out.
"Hello. Welcome to the front of the shop! This part of the shop is nice and peaceful at certain times. But, when the girls swarm in, the nice and peaceful part changes." Yohji greeted. "Aya's at the counter now. He tries to avoid attending to customers most of the time." Yohji added.
"Wow, the flowers here are so beautiful! I'm spoiled for choice!" Hitomi walked around.
"Take your time!" Omi smiled.
"Hm. I kind of like these orchids." Hitomi stopped at the orchids section.
"Difficult to take care of, but beautiful in full blossom." Hitomi said.
"You should work here in the front. You talk like a professional." Omi teased.
"No, no! If the crowd is bad, then I'd better stay away from it. I don't really like crowds or too much attention." Hitomi shook her head.
"Okay, okay! Just kidding! Hehe. So, if any customers wants anything to do with orchids, it's your call!" Omi smiled.
"I'll see what I can do!" Hitomi walked to the back of the shop.
Lunchtime came and the florists were hungry. There weren't many customers in the morning, but they knew the shop would be flooded soon.
"Ah. Omi! Go buy lunch for us! I'm starving!" Yohji stretched.
"Go buy your own lunch! Why do I always have to go?" Omi argued.
"Because you're the cook and you'll know what to buy for us." Yohji implied.
"Well, I don't want to go today." Omi sat and crossed his arms.
"Ken, you go." Yohji said.
"Why me?" Ken protested.
"Just shut up and do it."
"I won't."
Hitomi saw Aya starting to frown from the corner of her eyes.
"Okay, stop it! I'll go!" Aya grumpily stomped out of the shop.
"I'll follow him. I think you guys went too far." Hitomi said and followed after Aya.
"Oops." They looked at each other guiltily.
"Aya! Wait for me!" Hitomi chased after Aya.
"What?" he frowned.
"I'll. follow you." Hitomi was taken aback by his reaction. His face softened, but the hard look was still there. "I know they went too far. But - "
"They're always like that. I don't mind them, but I just can't take it sometimes." Aya cut Hitomi.
"I understand."
Aya looked at Hitomi suspiciously. "Where do you come from anyway?" he asked.
"Erm. Which shop do you usually get lunch?" Hitomi looked around.
"This one."
"I'll order! Wait here, okay?" Hitomi hurried to the lunch line.
"Hm. There's something about him." Aya wondered to himself.
"Ohaiyou, Hitomi! You're early compared to the rest. Breakfast will take some time to be ready. They always wake up late." Omi smiled.
"Good morning. Mm. Smells good. Do you always cook this?" Hitomi asked.
