"Cantalenium, how many times are you going to yell my name eh!?" Kenji shouted with
annoyance as he got up from the ground.
"I am so sorry!" The perpetrator yelled.
"I-I am Leo Rosè. I like some of your content so I am a little shocked, please forgive me." Leo calmed down and stated.
"Hmph." Kenji sounded while finally looking at his surroundings.
Looking around the shop, there's green everywhere, and a brown and green granite top counter with a door behind it. Near the entrance there were two plants hanging on each side of the two doors, a nice brown mat that branches out to the counter and to another room on the right. The other room is much different from the one he was in, it was a pure white marble on the floors and walls, with rose gold booths and seats, there was also a rose gold counter in there with a sign hanging above it, with different teas listed. No doubt its the tea room, the other half of the plant shop. The tea room gives off a pure calming feeling while the plant room gives off an earthy, lively feel which is also quite calming in a way.
Looking at this place, Kenji's heart dropped… He hoped this wasn't the place he was looking for.
"What is this place may I ask?" Kenji asked a little nervously.
"Phoenix Tea and Plant Shop." Leo stated with his head held high.
Kenji's heart dropped but there was still hope.
"You aren't the owner here are you?"
"Uhh… Yes I am." Leo said confusedly.
Oh Cantalenium forgive me for I have sinned! Kenji yelled in his mind. He should have listened to his friends and family when they said he should learn to control his arrogance and mouth!
"Oh, I heard the owner was a woman." Kenji said nonchalantly
When Leo heard that he just held his head down, and didn't answer, the aura around him was very depressing.
Kenji was sweating bullets at this point, how was he going to get his Phoenix Tea after disrespecting the owner? He looked at Leo's somewhat pale face and had a great idea!
"Eh-um, nevermind about that, didn't you ask for some water? Let's go sit in the tea room and wait." Kenji said in a considerate tone.
Leo's eyes glistened, his idol was so kind... He couldn't help but blush a little while nodding his head and walking to the tea room with Kenji following close behind with a caring smile plastered on his face.
Entering the tea room they sat down at the first table.
When Kenji sat down he took the time to smell the wonderful aroma roaming around the tea room, it was like he stepped into a completely different shop.
He leaned back on the booth in bliss as he smiled.
He rarely has time to be so calm, he must enjoy this even if he doesn't get the tea!
'Oh wow my idol is so pretty when he smiles, I feel like my heart is about to burst!' Leo stared hard at Kenji who hasn't even taken off his mask and glasses, yet still looks so beautiful, he doesn't know why but he feels his idol is smiling, thus he too couldn't help smiling.
"Do you like the scent?" He asked.
Kenji lifted his head to see the beautiful boy smiling.
"Yes, it's very calming." Kenji replied in a relaxed tone. But his mind was sneering in disdain so much so that he ended up forgetting his master plan.
'Is he so arrogant? Yeah the scent of your shop is soothing and amazing but so what? Does that give you the right to smile and brag in my face?'
"Hmph, being an Idol and being adoured by many, I have to work a lot, I rarely have time to chill, but you wouldn't relate to that would you Mr. Rosé?" Kenji said with a little disdain while moving his glasses down and showing off his blue peach blossom eyes as he squinted and stared hard at Leo.
Not realizing the disdain is Kenji's voice Leo so innocently thought that his idol was quite pitiful and was having a hard time and couldn't help but want to comfort him.
"Yes, I don't relate at all, I get to calm down and be detached from the world everyday I step into my shop, thus I am very lucky and blessed! But you know you can come here anytime, it's free of charge! My store has the best calming arouma! You won't find it anywhere just like my Hibiscus Phoenix Tea!"
Kenji was infuriated!
'This guy is so shameless! Bragging in front of me treating me like a charity case! Is your store so good and you're so rich that I can come in free of charge!?'
Kenji seemed to have forgotten another thing.
Most stores you can always enter free of charge… but he didn't seem to care about that.
"What an arrogant guy." Kenji muttered under his breath in annoyance.
"Hm? What did you say?" Leo asked.
"Hm? Oh nothing! Where is that guy with your water I didn't think it'd take that long to get some water?"
"Ah! Ah! I'm here!" Renji came running into the tea room with a cup of water in his hands.
"Sorry I'm so late, it's just that the boss likes his water straight from the plants! So it took a while to gather a lot of it! The plants seem to not produce that much water anymore." Renji said a little breathless. The plant room in the back is very huge and he had to run around gathering water from different plants.
"It's fine Renji, thank you very much." Leo said with a smile as he took a sip.
Renji's heart ached his boss looked so sick!! But soon he felt better, because just like a plant after having a little water his boss's complexion looked a lot better, he nodded in satisfaction and walked away, leaving the two people alone.
While Leo and Renji were having their own moments, someone was seething at the side.
'Not only is he arrogant, he's very picky! Water straight from the leaves? What a show off!' Kenji was raging on the inside but kept kind eyes on the outside eventually pulling off his mask.
"Are you feeling better? I see your complexion looks a lot better." Kenji asked with a concerned look on his face.
"Um, yes I'm fine thank you." Leo said with a small smile filled with sincerity.
'My idol is so nice! So caring and so handsome!! His face is so amazing! I want to take a bite!!'
