Summary
Jimin likes his new street, his new apartment and his new flower shop. Business is picking up, his days are filled with sunshine and delicious muffins, and it seems as though, overall, he has nothing to worry about.Except that, well. His new neighbors seem to be a little strange.Which is okay, since Jimin is a little strange, too.(A flower shop/tattoo AU, with a twist.)

Chapter 1
Just nowThis is just the first chapter but I'm already in love with this world and with the way you write! The concept sounds so interesting and I can't wait to know what do you have in store for us next!
Chapter 1
Just nowWait does jimin understand his plants? Cause I found a bit confusing to why would he think he weird and I thought was because he doesn't socialize but i see that the plant talk to him and I'm like wtf thay was a plot twist cant wait for more update:D

Just nowoh my god???? this is so well-written i'm trembling in my boots i think the fact that there's something magical hidden going on in this fic makes me more excited??? this sounds like one of those modern fairy tale novels i'm always enamored with, or like. omg!!! omg like you know the game professor layton in ds??? (i'm a huge nerd i'm sorry) mostly because of the whole description of the alleyways and stuff i'm kind of like imagining it like that authentic parisian feel (re: professor layton reference) or something with the dainty, light soft music playing in the background idk but the way you write makes my imagination go wonky in a v v good way omg?????? i can't wait to see what happens next????? i'm??? so excitED GOOD LUCK

Just nowThat is reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally good! Is Jimin a fae? Flowers are usually a fae thing... But then the laptop... Almost all from OT7 appeared, yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Who is in SOPE? Sounds like Yoongi but could be Hobi as well.
Chapter 1
Just nowHey ;-)I finally FINALLY started reading this. And the first chapter is great/adorable/cute/just really good. There were several times when I couldn't contain myself and squeaked "cuuuute" and at different times I just wanted to hug Jimin. I wonder why he didn't had friends before and I am sooo happy that he met Kookie and Tae (it was absolutely adorable how he saw and met them!) and of course easily becomes friends with them.I first thought Sugakookie was in a relationship and broke up (course of the tags) but there are brothers right? Can't wait to learn more!! ♡And now excuse me I need to continue :-D

Just nowYou should know how deeply in love I am with your story and your writing 💜I LOVE tje way you describe everyone, seriously it's perfect. Jimin is so adorable and kind (my bias btw) and Taekook is just endearing.. Namjin too 💜I love this whole concept of your story, I can really picture the Story in my head. I am so excited (and slightly scared, because of the tags) ro continue reading ❤️ You are an amazing writer 💜

Just nowThe foreshadowing is brilliant!!~
Babyblueclouds
Just nowThis was honestly so beautiful, the development I t heir relationships and their love was just amazing. It was so heart warming and I was overwhelmed with emotions half of the time. And the little twist to a somewhat common au was great!! It made everything all the more amazing and interesting. I thought all the members characterizations were great and really helped develop the story. Thank you for this lovely piece of work!

Just nowWhich is why now Jimin also wonders if his new neighbors will notice that he’s… different. If they’ll mind.if i hadn't talked to you about this already, i would be asking different how, but also DIFFERENT HOW?? and also also i love that he talks to the plants it's so soft and sweet and fjafkgj so jimin. is he like hoseok was in that other fic you recc'd me??SOPE, the sign reads. Whatever that means.INKED YOONGI I'M GOING TO EAT A FRIDGEThe Bunny shuts his eyes and presses his forehead to the fridge, like he’s somehow disappointed in himself that he can’t get the massive thing all the way to his shop. Jimin isn’t sure how he managed to get it this far, anyway. Not without a car. Or a cart of some sort. Was he pushing it the whole time? Or maybe even… carrying it?JK HAS SUPER STRENGTH DOESN'T HE oh man what a way to paint a picture thanks for thatHe should learn not to sound so hesitant and squeaky when covering something up.WHAT IS HE COVERING UP what iS ITNormal.This is normal; meeting people, getting to know them, enjoying each other's company – all normal. Easy.As he tapes pink petals around the name of his shop, Jimin hopes, that, maybe, Jungkook would like to see him again. To hang out with him.Drink more soda. Maybe teach Jimin how to play some of those video games he talked about.Be friends.this internal monologue just made me so incredibly sad. WHY DOESN'T JIMIN HAVE FRIENDS LET HIM HAVE FRIENDSlike he's concentrating really hard – like he can get the computer itself to just announce the problem on its screen or something - and then says, “You dislocated your internal wifi antenna. I'll be right back.”okay what the ever loving fuck“- about how you are now so old you must've started dyeing your hair to hide the greying parts?” Jungkook interrupts with a smirk. “Crossed my mind a couple of times.” i love this sm fjfdgf hahaha He breaks into a run too, and meets Taehyung in the middle of the empty street - Jimin nearly drops his spoon when Taehyung launches himself at Jungkook, leaping right into his arms. Jungkook welcomes him easily, letting Taehyung wrap his legs around his waist, his arms around his neck and--crush their lips together without a moment of hesitation.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THE TAEKOOOOK MY TAEKOOK HEART GJDLHJBLSMLAGHKNLD"HAH, kids!" Taehyung calls, relentless. "Like you're not only one year older than me! Like you're not drinking coffee from a sippy cup because you spill it every time-"I JUST spit out myf ucking coffeeOn the other side of the alley, right across from him, the lights are on in the tattoo shop.IS IT YOONGI IT'S YOONGI ISN'T IT I HAVE DIED EVERY DAY WAITING FOR YOUThe figure is outfited completely in black, but Jimin thinks they might be male. He's not sure, because the face is covered with a black surgical mask, and the person is wearing a black snapbackhello my aesthetic THIS IS YOONGI ISN'T IT YOU HAVE HIM WITH THE MASK AND THE SNAPBACK AND I'M RUNNING OUT OF FRIDGES TO EAT AND IT'S ONLY CHPATER ONE WHY DID YOU TELL ME WHAT KIND OF FIC THIS WAS WHEN YOU STARTED IT I SHOULD HATE YOUokay so because I didn't get to beta this, you're going to get my comments as though i were beta'ing it sans the concrit for edits obvs bc the fic is done I'M SORRY IN ADVANCE BUT ALSO NOT SORRY PLEAS CAN I JUST HAVE SOME MORE OF HOT INKED YOONGI I AM GDLFG THIRSTYTOLGJLDHJ OKAYFY FI BYE
youverynofun
Just nowI dont know what made me read this fic since I dont read a lot of slow burns, but I'm really glad I did bc it was beautiful. I love the twist within the story!!! If only there was more fics that had ym or bts with powers like the ones you created on here hh. They just felt so natural (?) In a way? And their everyday lives of them working made them seem just so wholesome. I also love your writing style. I usually dont really like reading things that are too descriptive bc it gets tiring after a while, (specially works that are descriptive and use analogies bc sometimes it just gets kinda annoying for me like just get to the good part) but I never felt like that with this fic at all. Although I was still craving for more ym (bc I just loved these two characters and their characters development) hhh. I also lowkey wish there would've been more smut hhh but when I think about the theme of the story overall, I know it doesnt really fit it and I'm glad you didnt force anything in. Anyways this is getting too long but just wanted to say this story was lovely 🥰

Just nowI love your ff💜🥰

Just nowthis was such a beautiful emotional story! Yoonmin's relationship is so caring and loving, their personalities are so different yet so alike with how they treat their friends. The whole powers and energy thing was really interesting, thought through and well-written, and the ot7 friendship is something thst I wish I could recreate in real life. Great work, thank you so much!
JatyK
Just nowI don’t have enough words to describe how incredible it was. How incredible you are.You made me laugh, cry, hold my breath with them and read for hours and hours and hours in a whirlwind of emotions, your story is such a beauty, such a perfection, thank you so much, oh my god~
mimisoft
Just nowLoved every second of this, you are really talented 💜

Just nowoh shit. oh SHIT. There are so many good things here! Like, how tender and delicately you yell this story, or rather how Jimin tells it with your words! How beautifully the scene is ste with quirkiness and comfortable ess. Jimins silent wonder at himself socializing and how you built up the fact that he can talk to his flowers! You wrote it very well, since even though it's logical (at least to me) that he can communicate with his flowers it does not feel boring to wait for the 'big reveal', no, you rather tease at our knowledge and let it seamlessly slip into the story and it's GREAT.I was actually wondering howany chapters I'd have to wait until we got to see Yoongi but HERE HE IS! (Or is it Hobi?) Anyways, I like how you wrote this part especially because Jimin doesn't notice our stranger from the get go because he is supposed to plotwise. He wondered about the empty shop before but he has a lot of other stuff to do (And your Taekook are the cutest!!) and only notices the stranger in the tattoo shop by chance and only then he talks to his plants about them. It is very satisfying to me to read your story experience so organically (even though it's only been one chapter). I'm very intrigued!I wonder whether we're talking past sope here or if they were friends and Hobi died?? because you said something about hurt and comfort and I very much assume that Yoongi is our stranger?Oh and Jungkook isn't fully normal either, right? He can do electricity stuff!*vibrates excitedly*

Just nowI’m so excited to read this!!! The line that really hooked me was the line about the dutch lilies saying they saw Joon smile. It was a really great aha moment. Looking forward to read more!
Chapter 1
Just nowThank you for your work. I'm in love with this job 💜 I can not fully express all the feelings, after reading, still impressed. It was a magical adventure, thank you.

tokyorockstarxx
Just nowi just discovered this and i already love it, everything from the title to how jimin and his plants talk to each other. it's so easy to read, like a breath of sweet fresh air. i love the way you characterised jimin. it put a smile on my face.
yeontanspillow
Just nowLove the way you write! The way you described the stores made it easy (not in an obvious way) to figure out to whom they belonged to. :)
yoooongiggle
Just nowI love this so much!♡
Chapter 1
Just nowat first I thought jimin talking to the plants was just a thing he did for to speak whatever he has on his minds and to give the plants attention but they speak back??$!$!3+3829$+#+$+
periwinkleblossom

The_Indian_Ghost
Just nowRereading this for the nth time in between doing my project due for tomorrow to get some good vibes and inspiration for it (there's a whole page of seed and plant visuals that I need to draw and paint and Pip and Jimin and the rest of his plants are the best at inspiring me for anything plant-related so,,)
jinichis
Just nowhey, just immediately went back to this fic because it was the first thing that popped in my mind while watching the music video for stay gold (the similarity is kind of uncanny im lowkey freaked).just wanted also to say your writing is amazing and it was such a healing experience reading this fic. thank you
BigKroha
Just nowHello!I first read this fic in Russian,but i also wanted to go through this story again in English,so here i am. And i want to say that i have already read so many fics about yoonmin as in my native language as now in English, but only this story made me feel things in the most strong way possible. I really really in love with it ~Yours slowburn is the best,yoonmins are the best,you are the best ! ~ I also like your sense of humor. I`v read SwaCoL too and it was awesome indeed. Even if you think that you are a basic potato who is all about a handful of the same tropes , i think yours ideas are very interesting and intriguing,so i am looking forward for new chapters of your new fic.You are really talented~ Thank you for this wonderful peaces of art.
memequeens
Just nowAHHH I missed this alleyway. Jimin is just relatable throughout this whole chapter and I'm already in love with Tae's chaotic energy. And piercing bunny Kook is so CUTE. Cannot wait to read more about Yoongi, I actually forgot how the two met again 👀👀👀 I just love how it was an introduction chapter that didn't bore me with endless information but it was so funny and relatable that I didn't skip even one paragraph !! Woowoooop
shirofumi
Just nowUsually I can decipher a plot but I really can’t tell what’s wrong with jimin, he’s def not anti social but was he bullied or does he have ptsd or something
choiholic
