《My Sun Shines On Wednesday?》


 Harumas Frustration

    Haruma sat on the bed, listening to the echoes of the fight his parents were having. He pulled out a headphone from his drawer and put it on his ears to ignore all the fighting and bickering.


    It seemed like every day, the fight happened with new topics, a new disagreement that couldn''t be resolved. He was frustrated, stressed, and clueless about what to do.


    Having had enough of this, he went and tried to stop them. He saw his father and mother shouting angrily towards each other. His mother was constantly arguing with his father, who was explaining that the new woman she saw yesterday was just his colleague and nothing more.


    Mother was not having it all. Haruma tried to stop them, but they were too caught up in their own problems to listen to him. He had tried staying out of the house as much as possible, but he couldn''t avoid the fighting forever. It was like a dark cloud that hung over his head, following him wherever he went.


    Haruma had always been a sensitive and empathetic boy, and the constant arguing in his home was taking a toll on him. He felt like he was drowning in the negativity, and he didn''t know how to stay afloat.


    The tension in the house was palpable, and it made Haruma feel like he was suffocating. He longed for a way out, a way to escape the stress and frustration that had become his daily reality. He had tried talking to his parents, but it always ended up in more yelling and fighting.


    As he lay in his bed at night, listening to the angry voices of his parents in the next room, Haruma felt like there was no end in sight. He wondered if things would ever get better, or if he was doomed to live the rest of his life in this state of constant conflict.


    Every single day of the week, their parents were fighting and bickering. They didn''t look after Haruma properly, and his diet was not maintained properly. His parents always came after eating outside, leaving Haruma with little to no amount of unhealthy food like processed food or no meal sometimes.


    Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    Even if he wanted to cook, he didn''t have the knowledge to do so because there was no one from the beginning to look after him.


    "My father looks at me with disgust. Sometimes when he is angry, he spits on me and often kicks or punches me to fulfill his satisfaction," Haruma thought.


    It was all because Mother and Father dated years ago. When his mother gave birth to him, his father had to marry her unwillingly. His mother was in love with him, but father only used her as a sex-friend.


    Father works at a business company where he is a manager. He spends all his money on his female employees rather than treating his family.


    Mother works as a waitress at a bar. She mainly spends her money on her makeup, trying to impress father to love her to no avail.


    Home is like a place for them to fight and sleep. They care as if Haruma doesn''t exist. Mother tries to show him affection, but deep down, he knows she wants him to die.


    Haruma also gets bullied in his school. He doesn''t deny any of their requests. He is like a dog to them. No one tries to stop them, why? Once there was a girl who suddenly became friendly with him and helped him stop the bullies.


    But the bullies stopped for a while, only to shift their target to her. I begged the bully to stop their doings and only perform their activities on him. She was traumatized after that incident and left the school and transferred somewhere else.


    Oh God, I beseech you from this dark place,


    Where my life feels like a never-ending race.


    I''m fighting and struggling every single day,


    With neglecting parents and bullies at school, come what may.


    Why did you make my life this way?


    A living hell, with no end in sight, I pray.


    I''ve lost all hope and can''t seem to find the light,


    In this darkness, everything feels wrong and not right.


    My heart is heavy, and my soul is weary,


    I feel like giving up; the struggle is too scary.


    Why did you burden me with such a heavy load?


    I''m drowning in my pain, with nowhere to go.


    My parents'' constant fighting and neglect,


    The bullies at school, who caused me to reject,


    I don''t know what I did to deserve this fate,


    Why is my life so full of hate?


    Oh God, if you''re there, please hear my cry,


    Help me find the strength to get by.


    Give me the courage to face each day,


    And guide me on a path to find my way.


    I pray to thee, with all my heart and soul,


    To heal this pain and make my broken heart whole.


    Why must I face such struggles every day?


    Bullies at school who make me feel astray.


    The weight of these burdens is too much to bear,


    Why must I endure this endless despair?


    I long for love and kindness to surround,


    And to feel like in this world, I am not bound.


    I don''t know what the future holds,


    But I trust you to guide me through the cold.


    Please, help me find a way out of this living hell,


    And bring peace to my heart, so I can start to heal.


    Tears dropping from his eyes,


    A reminder of the pain inside.


    With each tear that falls,


    The weight of the pain appalls.


    He feels like his world is falling apart,


    All hope lost, nowhere to start.


    The tears flow down his cheeks,


    A language his heart speaks.

 The park

    Haruma needed a break from the constant bickering and fighting at home, so he decided to take a walk to the park.


    As he walked along the highway, with sadness in his eyes, he noticed a beautiful cherry blossom tree in the distance. His saddened eyes sparkled upon the view of that tree. He felt drawn to it and decided to go closer.


    He found solace in the greenery and fresh, hair air which helped him forget about his troubles for a little while.


    As he was strolling, he noticed a young girl sitting on a bench, with a big smile on her face. She had pink hair and was dressed in colorful clothes, making her stand out from the rest of the park visitors. Haruma couldn''t help but feel curious about her.


    "Hello there!" the girl said, noticing Haruma''s gaze. "What brings you to the park on a day like this?"


    Haruma hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond. But there was something about the girl''s cheerful demeanor that made him feel comfortable.


    "I just needed to get out of the house, I guess," he finally replied.


    The girl''s smile widened. "Ah, I know that feeling! Sometimes you just need a break from everything, you know?"


    Haruma nodded, surprised at how easy it was to talk to her. "Yeah, exactly. It''s nice to have some peace and quiet."


    My name is Hanazakura, but you can call me Hana."


    "I''m Haruma," he said, feeling a little more at ease.


    "So, what''s got you down, Haruma?" Hana asked, leaning in with curiosity.


    Haruma hesitated for a moment, but something about Hana''s energy made him feel like he could trust her. "It''s just...things at home aren''t great. My parents fight all the time, and I don''t really have anyone to talk to about it."


    Hana nodded, looking thoughtful. "That sucks. But hey, you know what they say, ''When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!''"


    Haruma couldn''t help but smile at her enthusiasm. "What do you mean?"


    "I mean, why focus on the negative stuff when there''s so much good stuff around us?" Hana said, gesturing to the park. "Look at all the beautiful trees, the sunshine, the birds singing. We''re alive, and that''s something to be grateful for."


    Haruma felt a warmth spreading through his chest. Hana was right. He had been so focused on the bad things in his life that he had forgotten to appreciate the good.


    "You''re right," he said, feeling a little lighter. "I guess I just needed a reminder."

    Hana grinned, patting him on the back. "That''s what I''m here for. And who knows, maybe we can make some lemonade together sometime."


    Haruma laughed, feeling like he had made a new friend. "I''d like that."


    By the way,Hanazakura. I don''t think I''ve ever seen you around here before."


    "Oh, I come here all the time!" Hanazakura said, waving her hand around the park. "I love nature and all the animals you can find here. Plus, it''s a great place to meet new people!"


    Haruma raised an eyebrow. "Really? I usually just keep to myself."


    Hanazakura''s smile didn''t falter. "Well, that''s no fun! You should come out of your shell more often. There''s a whole world out there waiting for you!"


    "Now, let''s go find something fun to do! Maybe we can play tag or climb trees or make flower crowns!"


    Haruma couldn''t help but smile at her enthusiasm. He hadn''t felt this lighthearted in a long time. "Sure, that sounds like fun," he agreed, following her as she bounded off to a nearby tree.


    As they played, Hanazakura kept up a constant stream of chatter, telling him all about her adventures and dreams. Haruma found himself getting lost in her words, forgetting about his troubles for a while. She was like a burst of sunshine on a cloudy day.


    After a while, they both collapsed onto the grass, panting and laughing. "You know, Haruma, I think we make a pretty good team," Hanazakura said, grinning up at him.


    Haruma couldn''t help but feel a warmth spreading in his chest at her words. "Yeah, I think you''re right," he replied, a small smile playing on his lips.


    As the sun began to set, Hanazakura stood up, stretching. "I should get going," she said. "It was nice meeting you, Haruma."


    Haruma felt a pang of sadness at the thought of her leaving. "Can we meet again?" he blurted out, surprising himself.


    Hanazakura smiled. "Sure. How about same time, same place, next week?"


    They exchanged phone numbers and said their goodbyes, promising to meet up again soon.Haruma nodded eagerly, feeling grateful for this unexpected connection.


    As he watched her walk away, he couldn''t help but feel like something had shifted inside him. For the first time in a long time, he had something to look forward to.


    As Hanazakura waved goodbye and skipped away, Haruma felt a deep sense of sadness washing over him. He had never met someone so kind and caring before, and he couldn''t help but feel envious of her carefree spirit.


    As he walked home, the weight of his problems felt heavier than ever before. He realized that he had been stuck in a cycle of misery and pain, and he didn''t know how to break free from it.


    Haruma was tired of feeling alone and neglected, tired of being a punching bag for his father''s anger, and tired of being bullied at school. He wished he could be like Hanazakura, free from the burdens of life.


    But as he looked around, he realized that he was still trapped in his reality. The same dreary streets, the same dilapidated buildings, the same dark cloud hanging over his head.


    Haruma couldn''t help but wonder if he would ever find a way out of his situation. He knew that he couldn''t do it alone, but he didn''t know who to turn to for help.


    As he entered his dark and silent home, Haruma realized that he was truly alone. His parents were nowhere to be found, probably out drinking or arguing somewhere. He made his way to his room and sat on his bed, feeling overwhelmed by the emotions that were consuming him.


    As he finished his writing, he realized that he had tears streaming down his face. He had always tried to keep his emotions bottled up, but the encounter with Hanazakura had opened a floodgate of feelings that he couldn''t contain.


    Haruma realized that he had been living in a state of constant despair for too long, and he didn''t want to continue living like this. He wanted to find a way out of his situation, but he didn''t know how. He felt trapped, like a bird in a cage.


    Haruma closed his eyes and made a silent vow to himself that he would find a way out of this darkness, no matter how hard it may be. And with that, he fell into a fitful sleep, dreaming of a brighter tomorrow.

 Wednesdays

    As the weeks passed by, Haruma found himself looking forward to Wednesdays with an eagerness he hadn''t felt in a long time. He would wake up early, get dressed in his best clothes, and make his way to the park. He would bring his favorite snacks and games, ready to have fun with Hanazakura.


    Their conversations were always filled with laughter and joy, and Haruma felt like he was finally breaking out of his sadness. Even on the days when Hanazakura couldn''t make it to the park, they would communicate through text messages, sharing funny jokes and silly memes.


    But one Wednesday, everything changed. As Haruma was walking towards the park with a big smile on his face, he saw the bullies from his school approaching him. They teased him and grabbed his mobile phone, scrolling through his messages with Hanazakura and mocking him for having a "girlfriend."


    Haruma tried to defend himself, but it was no use. The bullies broke his mobile phone, leaving him feeling humiliated and alone once again.


    As he sat in the park, with tears in his eyes and no one to turn to, he realized that his happiness had been dependent on his weekly meetings with Hanazakura. He felt a sense of loss and despair that was all too familiar to him.


    In that moment, he knew that he had to find a way to overcome his sadness and find happiness within himself. He couldn''t rely on anyone else to make him happy. And so, he made a vow to himself to keep smiling, even on the darkest days, and to never let anyone else bring him down.


    After a while,Hanazakura noticed Haruma''s distress and immediately rushed over to see what had happened. When she saw his broken phone, she felt a pang of sympathy in her heart.


    "Don''t worry, Haruma-kun," she said softly. "We''ll get you a new phone. And in the meantime, we can still communicate through other means."


    Her kind words brought tears to Haruma''s eyes. He couldn''t believe that someone he had just met could be so caring and understanding.


    "Thank you, Hanazakura-san," he said, his voice choked with emotion. "You don''t know how much this means to me."


    Hanazakura noticed the sadness in Haruma''s eyes as they sat on the bench in the park. She could feel his pain and wanted to help him in any way possible.


    "Haruma, let''s go to a place that is warm and beautiful. It will help ease your mind," she said.


    Haruma looked up at her, surprised by her suggestion. He had never met anyone as caring as Hanazakura.


    Together they walked to a nearby botanical garden. The moment they entered, Haruma was taken aback by the beauty surrounding him. The sweet aroma of the flowers filled the air, and he felt his worries melt away.

    Hanazakura showed Haruma her favorite spot in the garden, a small gazebo surrounded by blooming cherry blossom trees. They sat down and talked for hours. Hanazakura shared stories of her childhood and the adventures she had been on. She made Haruma laugh and forget about his troubles.


    As they walked, Hanazakura asked Haruma about his hobbies and interests. He opened up to her, telling her about his love for music and playing the guitar. Hanazakura encouraged him to keep pursuing his passions, telling him that he had a special talent.


    They sat on a bench, watching the butterflies fluttering around the flowers. Hanazakura shared stories of her own struggles and how she found solace in nature and beauty.


    Haruma felt his sadness and anger slowly dissipating, replaced by a sense of peace and gratitude. He realized that he had found a true friend in Hanazakura, someone who truly cared for him and understood him.


    Through the ups and downs, Hanazakura was always there for him. She brought warmth and beauty to his life, and for that, Haruma would always be thankful.


    After walking for a while, they arrived at a small, cozy caf¨¦. The interior was filled with warm, golden light, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods filled the air.


    Hanazakura ordered two cups of coffee and a slice of chocolate cake for them to share. They sat down at a table by the window, where they could watch people pass by on the street.


    For hours, they talked about everything and nothing. They talked about their dreams, their fears, and their favorite things. Hanazakura shared funny stories about her life, making Haruma laugh until tears ran down his cheeks.


    As they talked, Haruma began to feel a sense of peace and comfort that he hadn''t felt in a long time. He realized that even though the world could be cruel and unfair, there were still moments of beauty and joy to be found.


    Hanazakura''s kindness and understanding had helped him see that.


    From that day forward, Haruma looked forward to Wednesdays with a renewed sense of hope. Even when they couldn''t meet in person.


    And whenever he felt sad or alone, Haruma remembered the warmth of that caf¨¦ and the kindhearted girl who had taken him there, reminding him that there was still beauty in the world, even in the midst of sadness.


    After they had their goodbyes.Both of them went their separate ways awaiting the next Wednesday.


    As Haruma returns home, he notices his mother''s worried expression. She asks him what happened, and he tries to brush it off by saying his mobile phone broke. However, his father, who had been drinking, overhears the conversation and becomes angry.


    "Why did you break your phone, you useless boy?" His father slurs, taking a step towards Haruma menacingly.


    Haruma''s mother quickly steps in between them, trying to calm her husband down. "It''s okay, he''ll get it fixed. Please, let''s not fight."


    But his father won''t listen, and he pushes her aside, grabbing Haruma by the collar of his shirt. Haruma can feel his father''s hot breath on his face, and he closes his eyes, bracing himself for the blow.


    However, his mother steps in again, throwing herself in front of Haruma to shield him. His father''s rage turns towards her, and he starts hitting her instead, calling her names and blaming her for their son''s supposed unwanted birth and having to live with them.


    As Haruma watches in horror, he realizes that he can''t even defend himself, let alone protect his mother. The only thing he can do is hold back his tears and hope that the beating will stop soon. It''s a moment that he knows will stay with him forever, a moment that makes him feel small and powerless in a world that can be cruel and unfair.


    But he also knows that there are moments of kindness and warmth, moments like the ones he shares with Hanazakura in the park, that give him hope and strength to keep going.

 Hanazakuras Energy

    As Haruma and Hanazakura continue to meet every Wednesday, Haruma becomes increasingly fascinated by Hanazakura''s boundless energy and enthusiasm for life. Hanazakura seems to have an endless supply of stories to share and activities to do, and Haruma can''t help but be drawn in by her infectious spirit.


    During their conversations, Hanazakura tells Haruma about all the things she loves in life - from her favorite foods to her favorite hobbies. She encourages Haruma to share his own passions, and together they explore new interests and try new things.


    One Wednesday, Hanazakura takes Haruma to a nearby park where they fly kites together. Haruma is amazed at how effortlessly Hanazakura soars her kite into the sky, and he can''t help but feel a sense of joy and freedom as he watches it dance in the wind. As they lay on the grass, watching their kites dance above them, Haruma feels a deep sense of contentment.


    It''s not just the activities that Hanazakura engages in that amaze Haruma, but her zest for life and her unwavering optimism. Hanazakura never seems to dwell on the negative - even on days when Haruma feels like the weight of the world is on his shoulders, she always finds a way to turn things around and make him smile.


    Their conversations are not just surface-level - they delve deep into their emotions and experiences. Hanazakura shares her own struggles and hardships, and Haruma is amazed at her resilience and ability to see the good in everything. Through her stories, Haruma begins to see the world in a new light.


    As the weeks go by, Haruma begins to look forward to Wednesdays with growing anticipation. He finds himself smiling more often and feeling a sense of lightness in his heart that he hasn''t felt in a long time.


    Haruma had come to a realization.


    Haruma''s encounter with Hanazakura in the park had taught him a valuable lesson: to face his fears and be courageous. And so, when the bullies in school started to tease him again, he found himself sickened by their actions.


    As Haruma walked through the halls of his school, he could feel the eyes of his classmates on him. He had always been the quiet one, the kid who kept his head down and tried not to draw attention to himself. But something had changed inside of him since meeting Hanazakura in the park.


    The bullies, who used to taunt and tease him mercilessly, approached him in the hallway. Haruma braced himself for the worst, but this time, he didn''t back down. Instead, he stood tall and confronted them with a newfound confidence.


    "You guys need to stop," Haruma said firmly. "You''re not going to bully me anymore, and you''re not going to bully anyone else either."


    If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    The bullies were taken aback by Haruma''s sudden boldness. They had never seen him stand up for himself before. But as Haruma continued to speak, they realized that he meant business.


    "I''ve had enough," Haruma continued. "And I know that I''m not alone. There are other kids in this school who are being bullied too. We need to stand up for each other and make sure that this kind of behavior stops."


    The other students in the hallway began to murmur in agreement. They had always known that the bullies were a problem, but they had never had the courage to do anything about it. But now, with Haruma leading the way, they felt emboldened to speak out as well.


    Another day, At school, Haruma''s bullies try to pick on him again, but this time he stands up for himself. He tells them that he won''t tolerate their behavior any longer, and to his surprise, the bullies back off. The whole class is amazed by Haruma''s newfound confidence, and he feels proud of himself for standing up for what''s right.


    "The bullies were taken aback as the fear they saw in Haruma was nowhere to be found, deeply affecting them. They shifted their eyes away from him, and this motivated others to stop getting bullied and stand up."


    At the park,Hanazakura looked at Haruma with admiration in her eyes and said, "You know, Haruma, it takes a lot of courage to stand up to bullies. You did a great thing by standing up for yourself and for others who may have been too scared to speak up. You are a strong and brave person, and I am proud to know you."


    Her words brought a smile to Haruma''s face, and he felt a sense of warmth and happiness spread throughout his body. He realized that having someone like Hanazakura in his life was a true blessing.


    After a while Hanzakura, Stand in front of Haruma.From her bag she takes out something.


    Haruma''s surprise when Hanazakura gifts him a new mobile phone with her contact details saved.


    Haruma was taken aback when Hanazakura pulled out a shiny new mobile phone from her bag and handed it over to him. "What''s this for?" he asked, bewildered.


    "It''s a gift," Hanazakura said with a cheerful smile. "So we can stay in touch even when we''re not at the park."


    Haruma''s heart swelled with gratitude towards Hanazakura. He couldn''t believe that someone would go to such lengths just to stay in touch with him. As he held the new phone in his hand, he couldn''t help but think of his broken phone and the beating he had received from his father. Hanazakura''s kindness was a stark contrast to the harsh realities of his life.


    "Thank you so much," Haruma said, feeling a lump in his throat. "I don''t know what to say."


    "You don''t have to say anything," Hanazakura said with a wink. "Just promise me that you''ll use it to text me and keep in touch."


    "I promise," Haruma said, a smile spreading across his face.


    From that day onwards, Haruma and Hanazakura stayed in constant touch through texts and calls. Their conversations were always filled with laughter and joy, as Hanazakura''s infectious energy never failed to lift Haruma''s spirits. Even on the days when Haruma couldn''t make it to the park, Hanazakura would make sure to brighten up his day with her messages and pictures of the beautiful places she had visited.


    With Hanazakura''s support and encouragement, Haruma began to feel more confident and empowered. He even stood up to the bullies in his class, surprising everyone with his newfound courage and determination.


    Haruma realized that even though life could be tough, there were always people like Hanazakura who would stand by you and lift you up. He knew that he was lucky to have found such a wonderful friend, and he made a silent promise to himself to always cherish their friendship.


    That evening, Haruma goes home feeling happy and fulfilled for the first time in a long time. He tells his mother about his day and about Hanazakura''s gift, and she smiles at him with tears in her eyes.


    "I''m so proud of you, Haruma," she says. "You''re becoming such a strong and brave young man."


    Haruma feels a sense of pride and accomplishment as he realizes that he''s starting to overcome his sadness and anxiety, with the help of his new friend Hanazakura.


    Haruma''s mother smiled at her son''s excitement. "It sounds like she''s a very special person, Haruma. I''m glad you have her in your life.

 A New Perspective

    Haruma woke up feeling different after spending time with Hanazakura. He noticed that his perspective on life was changing. He was no longer consumed by the negativity around him, and he was finding joy in the small things.


    As he got ready for school, he couldn''t help but feel grateful for having Hanazakura in his life. He knew that seeing her every Wednesday had become the highlight of his week, and he couldn''t wait to see what fun activity she had planned for that day.


    During their meetings, Hanazakura would always encourage him to see things from a new perspective, and to focus on the positive things in his life. She would share her own experiences, her own challenges, and how she overcame them. Her energy and enthusiasm for life were infectious, and Haruma found himself feeling more and more hopeful about his future.


    As he walked to school, he noticed how the sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and the flowers were blooming. He felt grateful for being able to experience these simple pleasures and for having Hanazakura to guide him towards a more positive outlook on life.


    Haruma arrived at school feeling different. He was no longer consumed by fear or negativity. He was ready to take on the day and face any challenges that may come his way.


    Throughout the day, he found himself applying Hanazakura''s teachings to his daily life. He was kinder to his classmates, more patient with his teachers, and more focused on his studies. He no longer felt like a victim, but rather a person who had the power to create his own destiny.


    When he returned home, he couldn''t wait to tell his mother about his day. He shared with her how he had stood up to the bullies and how he had a new perspective on life thanks to Hanazakura. His mother listened attentively and was proud of her son.


    As Haruma went to bed that night, he knew that his life was changing for the better. He was grateful for the gift of Hanazakura in his life and looked forward to continuing his journey towards a more positive and hopeful future.


    Haruma started to see the world in a different light after meeting Hanazakura. He was no longer consumed by the sadness and hopelessness that once dominated his thoughts. Instead, he felt a new energy and excitement for life.

    Hanazakura had a profound impact on Haruma''s life, and he was grateful for her presence in his life. She taught him that there was more to life than just sadness and pain, and that it was possible to find joy and beauty in the world around him.


    Haruma had always been interested in music, but it wasn''t until he met Hanazakura that he started taking it more seriously. He found solace in playing the guitar and expressing himself through music.With Hanazakura''s encouragement, Haruma started to take up new hobbies and interests, such as photography and hiking. He began to find joy in the little things in life, like the way the sun would set behind the mountains or the way the leaves would rustle in the wind.


    Slowly but surely, Haruma''s outlook on life began to shift. He found himself becoming more positive, hopeful, and optimistic. He started to believe that anything was possible, as long as he had the courage to try.

    One day, as Haruma and Hanazakura were walking in the park, Hanazakura turned to him and asked, "Hey Haruma, are you happy?"


    Haruma paused for a moment, surprised by the question. He had never really thought about it before. "I don''t know," he said honestly. "I guess I haven''t really thought about it much."


    Hanazakura smiled at him warmly. "Well, you should think about it," she said. "Life is too short to be unhappy. Find the things that make you happy, and hold onto them tightly."


    Haruma nodded, taking her words to heart. For the rest of the day, he couldn''t stop thinking about what Hanazakura had said. He began to notice the little things around him that brought him joy - the sound of birds singing, the smell of fresh flowers, the warmth of the sun on his skin.

    One day, as Hanazakura and Haruma were sitting in the park, Haruma decided to show her something he had been working on. He pulled out his guitar and started playing a melody he had been practicing for weeks. Hanazakura watched him with a smile, nodding her head to the beat.


    After Haruma finished playing, Hanazakura asked him, "What''s the name of the song?"


    "I haven''t given it a name yet," Haruma replied. "I''m still working on the lyrics."


    Hanazakura leaned in closer, interested. "Can I hear what you have so far?"


    Haruma hesitated for a moment, feeling vulnerable. But then he took a deep breath and started singing. The words came out smoothly, and he felt himself getting lost in the melody. When he finished, Hanazakura clapped her hands.


    "That was beautiful," she said. "You have a talent for this."


    Haruma blushed, feeling a sense of pride in his chest. "Thanks, Hanazakura. You inspire me to be creative."


    "I''m glad to hear that," Hanazakura replied, smiling. "Keep writing, Haruma. I know you''ll come up with something amazing."

 Shared Dreams

    Haruma and Hanazakura sat on a park bench, enjoying the warmth of the sun on their faces. Haruma had his guitar with him and was strumming a few chords absentmindedly, lost in thought. Hanazakura was watching him with a smile.


    "What are you thinking about?" she asked.


    Haruma paused his playing and looked at her. "I''m just thinking about my future. I don''t really know what I want to do with my life yet."


    Hanazakura nodded. "It''s okay not to know. I didn''t either, for a long time.


    "So what about now Hanazakura.?" he asked. "What are your dreams?"


    Hanazakura''s eyes lit up. "I have so many! I want to travel the world, learn new languages, and meet new people. I want to experience everything life has to offer."


    Haruma was amazed by her enthusiasm. "That''s incredible. I don''t think I''ve ever met anyone who''s so passionate about life."


    Hanazakura grinned. "Well, life is full of possibilities. You just have to be willing to take a chance and pursue your dreams."


    Haruma looked at her with admiration. "That''s really amazing. How did you figure out that''s what you wanted to do?"


    Hanazakura shrugged. "I don''t know, I guess I''ve always just had this feeling inside me. And then I started volunteering at a homeless shelter, and I knew that was what I wanted to do."


    Haruma nodded thoughtfully. "I wish I could find something that I''m passionate about like that."


    "You will," Hanazakura said confidently. "Sometimes it just takes time. But I believe in you, Haruma. You have so much potential."


    Haruma smiled at her. "Thanks, Hanazakura. That means a lot to me."

    Hanazakura leaned back on the bench and gazed up at the sky. "I want to see the world and experience all kinds of adventures. I want to meet new people and learn new things. And most importantly, I want to spread happiness wherever I go."


    Haruma smiled, impressed by Hanazakura''s positivity and ambition. "I believe you can do all those things, Hanazakura. You have so much energy and enthusiasm for life."


    "By the way you have been strumming those chords for a while".


    "What''s that song about?" she asked, looking at him with a curious expression.


    "I don''t know, really," Haruma admitted. "I''m still trying to figure it out."


    Hanazakura smiled. "That''s the beauty of creating something, isn''t it? You start with an idea, and it evolves into something more."


    Haruma nodded, grateful for her perspective. He had been feeling stuck lately, unsure of what he wanted to do with his life. But talking to Hanazakura always seemed to give him a new sense of purpose.


    Haruma felt a new sense of motivation wash over him. Maybe he didn''t know exactly what he wanted to do yet, but he was excited to start exploring his options. And with Hanazakura by his side, he knew he could do anything.


    Hanazakura grinned. "Thanks, Haruma! I''m glad we can share our dreams and encourage each other."


    As they sat in comfortable silence, watching the colors of the sunset deepen, Haruma felt a sense of warmth and hopefulness that he had never experienced before. With Hanazakura by his side, he felt like anything was possible.


    Hanazakura waved goodbye and started walking away from the park. Haruma watched her until she disappeared from his sight. As she vanished, he felt a sudden warmth in his body. It was like someone had lit a fire within him, and it was spreading, filling him up with a new sense of hope and purpose.


    He couldn''t explain what was happening, but he knew that it was because of Hanazakura. She had brought a new energy into his life, one that he had never felt before. He looked down at his guitar and smiled, feeling a new sense of determination to chase after his dreams.


    With a renewed sense of purpose, Haruma got up and started walking home. As he walked, he felt like he was walking on air. He had a newfound hope in his heart, and he knew that he could accomplish anything if he put his mind to it.


    After some days had passed, Haruma began to feel a longing for Hanazakura and desired to see her more frequently than he had previously. As evening arrived, he found himself alone at home with nobody around.


    Haruma was sitting on his bed, staring at his phone. He had been thinking about Hanazakura a lot lately, and he had a sudden urge to talk to her. Without really thinking, he dialed her number.


    The phone rang a few times before Hanazakura picked up. "Hello?" she said, sounding a bit confused.


    Haruma''s heart skipped a beat. He hadn''t expected her to actually answer. "Um, hi," he said nervously. "It''s me, Haruma."


    "Oh, hey Haruma!" Hanazakura exclaimed, sounding much more cheerful now. "What''s up?"


    Haruma was momentarily at a loss for words. He hadn''t really thought this through. "Uh, nothing much," he said finally. "I just... I don''t know. I was thinking about you and I wanted to talk."


    Hanazakura laughed. "Well, I''m glad you called then! What do you want to talk about?"


    Haruma shrugged, even though she couldn''t see him. "I don''t know. Anything, I guess. What have you been up to?"


    Hanazakura launched into a long and animated description of her latest project for her art class, and Haruma found himself getting caught up in her enthusiasm. Before he knew it, they had been talking for almost an hour.


    As the call wound down, Hanazakura said, "Hey, Haruma? I''m really glad you called. It''s nice to know that you were thinking of me."


    Haruma felt a warm glow spread through his body at her words. "Yeah," he said softly. "Me too."

 Shared Secrets

    Hanazakura had always been full of energy and enthusiasm, but one day during their weekly meeting in the park, she seemed more subdued than usual. Haruma noticed her lack of energy and asked if anything was wrong.


    Hanazakura hesitated for a moment before revealing her secret. "I have a chronic illness," she said softly. "I have to go to the hospital for treatments every week."


    Haruma was shocked. He couldn''t believe that Hanazakura, who always seemed so full of life, was struggling with an illness. "Why didn''t you tell me earlier?" he asked, feeling guilty for not noticing anything sooner.


    "I didn''t want to burden you," Hanazakura replied. "And besides, I don''t like to think of myself as sick. I want to live my life to the fullest, even if I have to face challenges along the way."


    Haruma was touched by Hanazakura''s courage and determination. He admired her even more for her positive outlook despite her illness. From that moment on, he made a vow to support her in any way he could.


    Together, they talked about their dreams for the future and how they could achieve them. Hanazakura''s illness didn''t hold her back from pursuing her dreams, and she inspired Haruma to do the same.


    Their conversations became deeper and more meaningful, as they shared their hopes and fears, and supported each other through the ups and downs of life. Their bond grew stronger with each passing week, and Haruma felt grateful to have met Hanazakura.


    Even though Hanazakura''s illness was a part of her life, it didn''t define her. She was a bright and beautiful soul who had a contagious zest for life. Haruma knew that he had found a true friend in her, and he vowed to always cherish their friendship.


    Haruma was stunned by Hanazakura''s revelation about her illness. "I had no idea," he said softly.


    Hanazakura smiled weakly. "It''s not something I talk about a lot," she admitted. "But I wanted you to know. I don''t want to keep any secrets from you."


    Haruma felt a sudden ache in his chest. He couldn''t bear the thought of losing Hanazakura. "Is there anything I can do to help?" he asked.


    Hanazakura shook her head. "No, Haruma. I appreciate your concern, but this is something I have to deal with on my own. But having you as a friend is already helping me so much."


    They sat in silence for a few moments, just enjoying each other''s company. Then Hanazakura spoke up again. "I do have a request though," she said.


    "Anything," Haruma said immediately.


    "I want you to promise me that you won''t let my illness bring you down," Hanazakura said firmly. "I want you to keep living your life to the fullest, chasing your dreams and being happy."


    Haruma felt a lump in his throat. "I promise," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

    Hanazakura smiled at him, and Haruma knew that he would do everything in his power to keep that promise.


    Hanazakura could sense the worry and concern in Haruma''s eyes, so she decided to take him to a cat cafe. It was a place filled with cute and cuddly cats, and she knew it would help take his mind off her illness.


    As they walked into the cafe, they were greeted by a variety of playful cats. Some were sleeping, others were playing with toys, and a few were climbing up the shelves. Haruma couldn''t help but smile as he watched them.


    Hanazakura ordered them some drinks and snacks, and they sat down at a table surrounded by cats. They started talking about their favorite cat breeds and their silly personalities.


    Hanazakura even shared a funny story about a time when she tried to take her own cat, Mochi, to a cat cafe, but Mochi refused to leave her lap and ended up napping there for hours.


    Haruma found himself laughing and having a great time, forgetting all about his worries. He couldn''t help but feel grateful for having Hanazakura in his life, and he was determined to make the most of their time together.


    Hanazakura watched as Haruma''s worries melted away, and she felt a sense of relief. She knew that it wasn''t easy for him to deal with her illness, but she was glad to see that he was finding some peace.


    They spent the afternoon there, chatting about all sorts of things and playing with the cats. Hanazakura could see that Haruma was starting to open up more and more, and she felt a sense of pride in helping him overcome his struggles.


    As they were leaving the cat cafe, Haruma turned to Hanazakura and said, "Thank you so much for taking me here. I feel so much better now."


    Hanazakura smiled back at him and replied, "Of course! That''s what friends are for. And don''t worry about me, I''ll be okay. I have you by my side, after all."


    Haruma nodded, feeling a renewed sense of purpose and hope. He realized that even though Hanazakura was dealing with an illness, she was still living her life to the fullest and pursuing her dreams. It was a lesson that he would always carry with him.


    As they walked down the streets, Hanazakura suddenly stopped in front of a salon.


    "Um, Hanazakura, what are we doing here?" Haruma asked, a bit nervous about getting his hair cut.


    Hanazakura just grinned mischievously. "We''re getting you a haircut, silly! Trust me, you''ll look amazing."


    With a gentle push, Hanazakura guided Haruma inside the salon. The stylists looked up, surprised to see a young girl and boy walking in, but Hanazakura didn''t seem to mind the attention. She chatted happily with the stylists as they went to work on Haruma''s hair.


    Inside the salon, Hanazakura chatted with the hairstylist while Haruma sat in the chair, feeling nervous. He watched as the hairstylist snipped away at his hair, the strands falling to the floor like confetti.


    As Haruma sat in the chair, he couldn''t help but feel a bit nervous. He had never really cared much about his appearance, and he wasn''t sure what he would look like with a new haircut. But something about the way Hanazakura was looking at him made him agree.As the stylists worked their magic, Hanazakura cheered him on and offered suggestions.


    Hanazakura kept up a constant stream of conversation, making jokes and telling stories. Haruma found himself relaxing in her presence, forgetting all about his worries and fears.


    When they were finished, Haruma was hesitant to look in the mirror. But when he finally did, he was surprised by what he saw. His hair was shorter and styled in a modern, trendy way that suited him perfectly. He looked...handsome.


    Hanazakura was practically bouncing with excitement. "I told you! You look amazing!" she exclaimed, her eyes shining.


    Haruma couldn''t help but smile at her infectious enthusiasm. "Thank you, Hanazakura. You''re the best," he said, feeling a warmth in his chest.


    As they walked out of the salon, Hanazakura linked her arm with Haruma''s. "Now, let''s go show everyone how amazing you look!" she exclaimed, leading him down the street.


    As they walked, people couldn''t help but stare. Haruma had never received so much attention before, and he wasn''t sure if he liked it. But with Hanazakura by his side, he felt more confident than ever before.

 The Hospital

    Haruma entered the classroom with a newfound confidence. The other students stared at him, amazed at his transformation. His hair was styled perfectly, and his new outfit made him stand out from the crowd.


    As he walked to his seat, he noticed that many of his classmates didn''t recognize him at first, he was met with a chorus of gasps and exclamations. But as they realized who he was, they all complimented him on his new look.


    "Haruma, is that really you?" "What did you do to your hair?" "You look amazing!".


    "Wow, Haruma, you look so different!" one of his classmates exclaimed.


    "I almost didn''t recognize you!" another chimed in.


    Even the bullies who used to tease him were taken aback by his transformation. They didn''t even try to pick on him anymore, as if they were afraid of the new, confident Haruma.


    Haruma smiled to himself, feeling a sense of pride and confidence that he hadn''t experienced in a long time. He knew that his new look was thanks to Hanazakura''s help and encouragement, and he felt grateful for her influence in his life.


    As Haruma walked through the school halls, he noticed that something was different. People were staring at him, whispering amongst themselves.


    Haruma enjoyed the attention he received at school after his haircut. His classmates, who used to bully him, now admired him and even asked for his advice on fashion and grooming. Haruma felt more confident and comfortable in his skin than he had ever felt before.


    Despite his newfound confidence, Haruma couldn''t shake off the anxiety he felt about Hanazakura''s health. He constantly worried about her and longed to visit her again. So, one day after school, he decided to visit her at the hospital.


    Haruma felt his heart pounding in his chest as he entered the hospital. He had never been to a hospital before and the sterile environment made him feel uneasy. Hanazakura had texted him earlier that day, letting him know she was going to be having a procedure done and that he could come visit her afterwards. He was eager to see her, but also nervous about what he might find.


    As he walked down the corridor, he saw Hanazakura''s cousin brother, Ryuusei Atsushi, waiting outside a room. He recognized him from the pictures Hanazakura had shown him, and he looked just as kind as she had described him.


    "Are you Haruma?" Ryuusei asked, standing up to greet him.


    "Yes, I am," Haruma replied, feeling a little self-conscious about his appearance. He had been so nervous about the visit that he had forgotten to style his hair or wear his best clothes.


    "I''m Hanazakura''s cousin. She''s been talking about you a lot lately," Ryuusei said with a smile. "She''ll be happy to see you."


    Haruma felt a small surge of pride at the thought that Hanazakura had been talking about him to her family. He followed Ryuusei into the room, where Hanazakura was lying in bed, hooked up to various machines.


    "Haruma!" Hanazakura said, her eyes lighting up when she saw him. "You came."

    "Of course I did," Haruma replied, feeling his worries melt away as he saw her smiling face. "How are you feeling?"


    "A little sore, but I''ll be okay," Hanazakura said, patting the bed next to her. "Come sit with me."


    Haruma sat down next to her and took her hand, feeling a strange mix of emotions. He was sad to see her in such a vulnerable state, but also grateful to be able to be there for her.


    After that Haruma told Hanzakura about the events that happened at school.


    Hanazakura chuckled at Haruma''s story, but there was a hint of jealousy in her voice. "Looks like you''re becoming quite the popular guy, Haruma," she said playfully.


    Haruma shrugged, "I don''t really care about that stuff. I just want to be friends with you and have a good time."


    Hanazakura smiled, "I know, I know. I''m just teasing you. But I do have to admit, I don''t like the idea of other girls flocking around you."


    Haruma looked at her, surprised by her admission. "What do you mean?"


    Hanazakura hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I know we''re just friends, but I can''t help feeling a little possessive of you. You''re my special friend, Haruma."


    Haruma felt a warmth spread through his chest, "You''re my special friend too, Hanazakura."


    They both smiled at each other, and for a moment, everything else in the world faded away.


    They talked for a while, with Ryuusei chiming in occasionally. Haruma learned that Ryuusei was studying to become a doctor and had been helping take care of Hanazakura during her hospital visits. He was impressed by how knowledgeable and kind Ryuusei was, and felt grateful that Hanazakura had such a supportive family.


    Nonetheless,Haruma tried his best to act normal, but the sight of Hanazakura in a hospital bed was overwhelming. He couldn''t help but feel sad and scared for her. Hanazakura noticed his unease and tried to cheer him up.


    "Don''t worry about me, Haruma," she said. "I''m in good hands with Ryuusei here. And besides, I''ll be out of here soon enough."


    Ryuusei chimed in, "Yes, Hanazakura is a fighter. She''s been making great progress with her treatments."


    Haruma felt a sense of relief hearing that, but he still couldn''t shake off the feeling of worry. Hanazakura noticed and took his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.


    "Don''t worry about me, Haruma. I''m strong, and I have you by my side," she said, smiling.


    Haruma felt a sudden warmth in his chest, knowing that he was there to support her. He looked at Hanazakura and smiled back, feeling grateful for their friendship.


    As they chatted and laughed together, Ryuusei stepped out of the room to give them some privacy.


    As Ryuusei got ready to leave, Ryuusei pulled Haruma aside. "Take care of her, okay?" he said, giving him a small smile. "She''s special."


    Haruma nodded, feeling a sense of responsibility settle over him. He knew that Hanazakura was going through a difficult time, and he was determined to be there for her as much as he could. As they walked out of the hospital, he felt a newfound sense of purpose and determination. He was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, as long as he had Hanazakura by his side.


    The nurse gently notifies Haruma that their allotted time has come to an end and kindly requests them to prepare to depart.


    "Well, I should be going," Haruma said, starting to make his way to the door.


    "Wait," Hanazakura said suddenly. "I want to give you something."


    She reached over to her bedside table and pulled out a small box, handing it to Haruma. "It''s not much, but I hope you''ll like it."


    Haruma opened the box to find a small, intricately designed bracelet. It was delicate and beautiful, with small flowers and leaves woven into the metal.


    "It''s beautiful," Haruma said, feeling a warm sense of gratitude wash over him. "Thank you, Hanazakura. I''ll always treasure it."


    As Haruma was leaving, Hanazakura grabbed his hand and pulled him close. She leaned in and planted a soft kiss on his forehead, causing his heart to skip a beat.


    "Take care, Haruma-kun," she whispered.


    Haruma nodded, unable to find the words to express his feelings. He knew that he would miss her terribly, but he also knew that he would do everything in his power to support her and help her through her illness.


    With a final goodbye, Haruma left the hospital, feeling grateful for Hanazakura''s friendship and support. He knew that she was going through a tough time, but he was determined to be there for her no matter what.


    As he walked out of the hospital, Haruma couldn''t help but feel a mix of emotions - sadness, hope, and an overwhelming sense of gratitude for having met Hanazakura and for the impact she had on his life.

 Supporting Hanazakura

    Haruma sat beside Hanazakura''s hospital bed, holding her hand tightly. He had made a decision to be there for her, no matter what. "I want to support you, Hanazakura," he said, his voice full of determination.


    Hanazakura smiled weakly at him, grateful for his words. "Thank you, Haruma. It means a lot to me."


    Despite the heavy emotions, they found moments of happiness together, laughing and joking around. They even talked about their dreams and hopes for the future, but Haruma couldn''t shake the thought that time was running out.


    One day, after a particularly emotional visit to the hospital, Hanazakura leaned her head against Haruma''s shoulder and let out a deep sigh.


    "I don''t want to burden you with all of this," she said softly.


    Haruma turned to her and took her hand in his. "You''re not a burden, Hanazakura. I want to be here for you."


    Hanazakura smiled weakly and squeezed his hand. "Thank you, Haruma. I''m glad I have you."


    As they left the hospital, Haruma noticed a new determination in his step. He knew that he couldn''t cure Hanazakura''s illness, but he could be there for her and support her through it. He would make the most of their time together and cherish every moment.


    As they walked into the park, Haruma noticed how Hanazakura''s steps were lighter, and her smile was brighter. It was clear that she was feeling better than she had in a while.


    "Isn''t it amazing how a little sunshine and fresh air can make you feel so much better?" Hanazakura said, looking up at the sky.


    Haruma smiled, happy to see her feeling better. "Yeah, it really is."


    They found their usual spot on the bench, and Hanazakura leaned her head on Haruma''s shoulder. They sat there in comfortable silence for a while, simply enjoying each other''s company and the peaceful surroundings.


    "I want to thank you for being there for me, Haruma," Hanazakura said, breaking the silence. "You''ve been such a good friend to me."


    Haruma felt a warmth in his chest at her words. "Of course, Hanazakura. I''ll always be here for you."


    Hanazakura sat up straight and looked at him. "I mean it, Haruma. You''re more than just a friend to me. You''re my best friend, and I don''t know what I would do without you."


    Haruma''s heart skipped a beat at her words, and he felt a rush of emotion. He had always felt a deep connection to Hanazakura, but he had never imagined that she felt the same way.


    If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.


    "I feel the same way, Hanazakura," he said, taking her hand in his. "I''ll always be here for you, no matter what."


    They sat there for a while longer, enjoying the warmth of the sun on their skin and the gentle breeze that rustled through the trees. Hanazakura leaned her head on Haruma''s shoulder again, and he put his arm around her, feeling grateful for the chance to support her through her illness and to spend time with the person he cared about most in the world.


    Slowly but Hanazakura returned to perfect health, much to Haruma''s relief. They continued to meet every Wednesday in the park, and their friendship grew stronger. Hanazakura''s energy and positivity inspired Haruma to pursue his dreams, and he found himself becoming a more confident and optimistic person.


    As they sat together in the park, Hanazakura smiled and said, "You know, Haruma, you''ve been my rock through this whole thing. I don''t know what I would have done without you."


    Haruma smiled back, "I''m just happy to be here for you. We''ll get through anything together."


    Hanazakura nodded, "That''s the spirit. And speaking of getting through things, I have some exciting news. My doctors say I''m officially in remission!"


    Haruma''s eyes widened in disbelief, "That''s incredible! Congratulations, Hanazakura!"


    They hugged each other tightly, both feeling the weight of the past few months lifting off their shoulders.


    "I want to celebrate," Hanazakura said. "What do you say we go on a little adventure? Just you and me."


    Haruma grinned, "I''m up for anything."


    After returning to his home.


    Haruma couldn''t believe what he was seeing. His father, in a fit of rage, was beating his mother. Haruma''s heart raced with fear and anger as he watched his father''s violent outburst.


    Without a second thought, Haruma ran towards his father and pushed him away from his mother. "Stop it! You can''t do this!" he yelled.


    His father turned to him, his face contorted with anger. "This is none of your business! Get out of the way!" he shouted, before turning back to his mother.


    Haruma refused to back down. He stood protectively in front of his mother, ready to defend her at any cost. His father raised his hand to strike again, but Haruma stood his ground.


    In a moment of clarity, his mother grabbed his hand and whispered, "We have to go, Haruma. Enough is enough."


    They left the house together, with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Haruma was scared, but he knew that he had to protect his mother. They would start a new life, away from the abuse and pain.


    Haruma''s mother sobbed as they walked away from their house, her hand tightly gripping her son''s. "I''m sorry, Haruma. I regret ever loving your father," she said, her voice heavy with sadness and regret.


    Haruma felt his heart break for his mother as he looked at her tear-streaked face. He put his arm around her, trying to offer her some comfort. "It''s okay, Mom. We''ll be okay," he said softly.


    As they walked, Haruma felt a weight lifted off his shoulders. He knew it wouldn''t be easy, but he felt a sense of relief that they were away from his abusive father. He knew that they would find a way to start over and create a new life together.


    "I''m proud of you, Haruma," his mother said, looking at him with a small smile. "You''ve grown into such a strong and caring young man."


    Haruma smiled back at her, feeling grateful for her words. He knew that they had each other, and that was all that mattered. Together, they would face whatever challenges lay ahead, but they would do it with love and support for one another.

 Dealing With Family Issues

    Haruma couldn''t help but feel overwhelmed with the situation at home. He was glad that he and his mother had left his father, but the pain of the abuse still lingered. He found himself constantly worrying about his mother and wondering if they had made the right decision.


    Hanazakura could sense that something was bothering Haruma and decided to talk to him about it. "What''s been bothering you, Haruma?" she asked.


    "It''s just...my family," Haruma replied, looking down at his hands. "I can''t help but feel guilty for leaving my father behind, even though he was hurting my mother. And now, I''m constantly worried about her and whether we made the right decision by leaving."


    Hanazakura listened attentively, then gently took Haruma''s hand. "Haruma, you did the right thing by leaving," she said firmly. "Your mother deserved to be safe, and you did everything in your power to make sure that happened. You should be proud of yourself."


    Haruma nodded, still feeling uncertain. "But what about my father?" he asked. "I can''t just abandon him."


    Hanazakura thought for a moment. "It''s important to remember that you can''t control other people''s actions, Haruma," she said. "Your father made his own choices, and he has to deal with the consequences of those choices. All you can do is focus on yourself and your own well-being."


    Haruma nodded slowly, taking in Hanazakura''s words. "You''re right," he said. "I just need to focus on taking care of myself and my mother."


    Hanazakura smiled at him. "Exactly. And if you ever need someone to talk to or just to vent, I''m here for you," she said.


    Haruma felt a sense of relief wash over him, knowing that he had someone like Hanazakura to confide in. He knew that the road ahead would still be tough, but with her support, he felt more equipped to handle it.


    As Haruma shares his struggles with Hanazakura, she listens intently and offers her support. She encourages him to talk to someone outside of their friend group, such as a teacher or counselor, about what is happening at home.


    Haruma is hesitant at first, but with Hanazakura''s gentle nudging, he eventually opens up to a trusted teacher. The teacher is able to offer Haruma resources for dealing with domestic violence and helps him and his mother find a safe place to stay.


    Hanazakura continues to support Haruma through this difficult time, reminding him that he is not alone and that there are people who care about him. She encourages him to focus on his own well-being and to continue pursuing his passions, such as music.


    As Haruma and his mother start their new life away from his abusive father, he feels a newfound sense of freedom and hope. He realizes that he has a support system in Hanazakura and others who are willing to help him through tough times.

    Just then Hanzakura stood up and invites him and his mother for dinner.


    Haruma gladly accepts it.


    Haruma returned to his mother with a bright smile on his face. "Mom, guess what? Hanazakura invited us over for dinner at her place!" he exclaimed.


    His mother looked up from her book and raised an eyebrow. "Really? That''s very kind of her," she replied.


    His mother smiled softly. "I''m glad you have such good friends, Haruma. It''s important to have people who care about you," she said.


    Haruma nodded, feeling grateful for his mother''s understanding. He knew that the upcoming dinner with Hanazakura and her family would provide a much-needed escape from the tension and fighting at home.


    Haruma and his mother were amazed by the spacious and beautiful house of Hanazakura. They were welcomed by Ryuusei and Lisa who warmly greeted them and showed them around the house.


    As they sat down for dinner, Ryuusei and Lisa shared their love story. They met at a coffee shop, and Ryuusei was immediately smitten by Lisa''s beauty and kind heart. They hit it off right away, and soon they were dating.


    Ryuusei spoke with passion and tenderness about how Lisa changed his life for the better. He told them about the challenges they faced together and how they overcame them with love and perseverance.


    Haruma and his mother were inspired by their story and felt grateful to be surrounded by such loving people. Hanazakura, who had been quiet during dinner, suddenly spoke up.


    "I know that dealing with family issues can be tough," she said, looking at Haruma. "But always remember that you are not alone, and there are people who care about you and want to help you. You can always count on us."


    Haruma felt a wave of gratitude and relief wash over him. He knew that he had found true friends in Hanazakura, Ryuusei, and Lisa, and he was determined to be there for them as they had been there for him.


    As Haruma was getting ready to leave for their house with his mother, she suddenly embraced him in a tight hug. Haruma was taken aback for a moment, but then he relaxed into the embrace, feeling the warmth and comfort that Hanazakura always seemed to radiate.


    "I''m so grateful for you, Haruma," Hanazakura said, her voice slightly muffled by his shirt.


    "You''ve been such a great support to me, and now I want to support you too."


    Haruma felt his heart swell with emotion at her words. He had never really thought of himself as someone who could be a source of support for others, but Hanazakura seemed to see something in him that he didn''t even know was there.


    "I''m happy to help in any way I can," Haruma said, pulling away from the hug and looking at Hanazakura with a small smile. "And thank you for inviting us to your house. My mom could really use a break from all the stress at home."


    Hanazakura smiled back at him, her eyes sparkling with warmth. "I''m happy to have you both over.


    "Promise me that you''ll take care of yourself and your mother," she said.


    "I will," Haruma replied, nodding solemnly.


    Hanazakura smiled again and patted his shoulder. "Good. I know you''ll be okay," she said, before turning and walking away.


    As they head back home after dinner at Hanazakura''s house, Haruma''s mother teases him about Hanazakura. "You know, Haruma, Hanazakura seems to be quite fond of you. Are you two an item?" she asks, giving him a playful nudge.


    Haruma blushes and shakes his head. "No, Mom. We''re just good friends," he says, feeling a bit flustered by his mother''s teasing.


    His mother chuckles. "Well, she seems like a lovely girl. And it''s clear that she cares about you. You''re lucky to have a friend like her."


    Haruma nods, feeling grateful for Hanazakura''s friendship. He knows that he can always count on her for support, especially during the difficult times at home.
