Ahead of the opening of the Flower Smeraldo shop mid-September, I was busy making plans for the customs clearance, transportation method, and storage for the smeraldo flowers.

So I couldn’t log into this blog for a while. When I returned to check as the event is ending soon, I saw that many people are interested in smeraldos. Many people participated in the event as well. Thank you so much.

Actually, today was a really happy day for me. I received my first order!! I came to the construction site around lunchtime, a handsome young man came in while peeking around. It’s quite a strange story, but my heart was sinking.

It was as if I were meeting someone I had known for a long time but had forgotten. Truthfully today was not a day I was supposed to go to the site, but from the morning, I felt like I wanted to go, I wonder if it’s because I had to meet him. I was scared of something, anyway, it was weird.   

The even more surprising thing was that this customer was searching for smeraldos! The customer said he didn’t know this shop specializes in smeraldos, and that he felt there was something attracting him to this place. Isn’t it like fate? In the end, I received an order for smeraldos from the customer. It’s the first official order in Korea!

Actually, due to the heat these days, it’s not easy to supply smeraldos. I said I thought I could make the delivery by the end of August, and after thinking about it for a bit, the customer said that was good, so I received the order without issue. But when I saw the customer’s expression, I could tell. These were a gift for someone precious.

So I told him this: “I want to give you a card with a smeraldo drawn on it, what would you like to write on it?” The customer hesitated some and then wrote several lines. What was it about? That’s the customer’s private business, so I can’t let you know. I asked again. “But why does it absolutely have to be smeraldos?” The customer’s answer was, “Because I want to be a good person.” That meant he wanted to be a “good person” to the person he’s gifting the smeraldos too, right?

After the customer left, I had a lot of thoughts about the past. If I too, like the customer, had delivered my true heart, what would have happened? Of course, “if” is of no use. I missed out like a fool, but I hope the customer delivers his true heart via the smeraldos and becomes happy.

In the same vein, the event [on this blog] was to convey sincere feelings to precious people, and it will end tonight at 10pm. I’ll announce the winners soon, so please wait for it. Because there are many stories, I think it will take some time, so please understand.
