The leaves rustled by his ears, making a gentle shushing sound.
Uesugi Sakura could clearly see the wavering in Hanamaru Hanabi's eyes.
"Sakura-kun is an idiot... truly a big idiot..." the girl lowered her beautiful face, "No matter how many times... Hanabi will always say Sakura-kun is a hopeless idiot."
Hearing her soft voice, something inside Uesugi Sakura felt moved by her.
"The cake... it's been so many days, why are you still eating it, Sakura-kun?"
"I... can't bear to throw away something you made so carefully for me..."
"But the cake has been there for so long, it's already spoiled..."
"It actually tasted fine," Uesugi Sakura wanted to comfort her, smiling as he spoke, "At least I haven't had a stomach ache."
"Sakura-kun... even though Hanabi hasn't forgiven you yet... once I heard you ate something bad, I couldn't help but worry."
Uesugi Sakura smiled faintly: "That's love, you see. When I see you're sick, I also want to take care of you, worry about you."
