This was originally a very boring thing, but Uesugi Sakura hoped time would pass a little slower, a little slower...
The reason, perhaps, was the girl sitting on the back seat of the bicycle.
"Sakura-kun..."
"What's up?"
"Hanabi likes you..."
Likes me.
The girl's sweet and tender confession left Uesugi Sakura momentarily stunned.
"I... now understand." He continued to pedal the bicycle.
"Understand what...?"
"Understand why so many couples say things like 'eternal love, together in the next life.' I used to not understand them and found it cheesy, but being in this moment... I realize just how much they didn't want to let go when they said those words."
"Does Sakura-kun mean... he wants to spend the next life with Hanabi too?"
"What do you think? Are you willing?"
Hanamaru Hanabi smiled behind him, "Hanabi needs to think seriously about it."
