‘A red rose in flower language symbolizes “ romance, love, beauty and courage” ‘
•
Red roses or roses in general, Flowers that Shinonome Ena had almost no connection to.
So out of all the flowers out there, why were rose petals the one coming out of her mouth?
Why were they there in the first place? Ena doesn’t remember ever eating anything with roses.
Ena stared at the rose petals on her hand, there were drops of blood on her hand as well.
The only other thing it could be was, Hanahaki. She heard stories about people (although she didn’t think it was actually true and only thought they were rumors) getting it when they fall in love and their love is unrequited and sometimes when a person rejects their feelings for another person.
That must’ve been it.
And she knew exactly who the person who could’ve “caused’ it for Ena was.
That one person that felt special, that was there for her when no one else was, that she had developed such a strong bond with that she couldn’t dare break. Ena would give the whole world to them if she could, except this person WAS her world.
And there was only one person who fit this bill.
Mizuki Akiyama.
“..That idiot..” Ena said under her breath.
She threw the rose petals into a trash can and wiped her hand to get the blood off.
Her throat felt like someone was scraping it with sandpaper. It was a horrible feeling but that’s what she gets for rejecting her feelings for so long.
As soon as Ena sat on her bed she heard two ping sounds coming from her phone, it was a message from Mizuki.
——
Amia☆: Hii Enanan Wanna hang out at the mall tomorrow :D??
Amia☆: Is around 2pm fine :3??
Enanan: Fine by me, Where we usually hang out right ?
Amia☆: Yes!!! See u tomorrow then :D!!
Enanan: See you!
——
Ena couldn’t hide her smile, she was so happy that Mizuki asked her, even if they hung out often, everytime it still felt special.
She was so excited for tomorrow, she checked the time on her phone, it was 11:46 pm.
‘So around 15 hours left… I think I can sleep through that..’

When Ena woke up it was around 12pm, she slept for 13 hours, not even she knows how she did that, probably the longest time she slept for in a while.
As soon as she got up she started getting ready, i mean you’d also start getting ready two hours before the thing if you were Ena.
After an hour and a half she went out, the walk to a cafe next to the mall wasn’t a very long walk, but she didn’t want to be late.
As soon as she got close to their meeting place she saw a familiar hairstyle, belonging to no one but Mizuki.
‘They look really nice in those clothes,,’
“AH! ENANAN!!! HIII!!!” Mizuki was waving to Ena excitedly.
“Heey! Don’t yell like that in public!” Although she said that in an angry tone, Ena was also very happy to see Mizuki.
“Ehehe~ Can’t I express my emotions when i see my best friend?” Mizuki spoke in a teasing tone, which while Ena liked it she wouldn’t admit to it ever,
but there was a problem, after Mizuki spoke the two last words Ena felt a sharp pain in her throat, and while she did have butterflies in her stomach there were flowers in her lungs.
She decided to give it no mind, i mean she wouldn’t want to worry Mizuki.
“Alright alright, soo, where did you want to go?”
“Honestly, no specific plans, I was just hoping we can find some cute clothes!!! Maybe even some matching ones!!!!!” Mizuki said as they hopped closer to Ena.
“Matching clothes?”
“Yeah!! It’d be pretty fun right???”
“Okay only if they aren’t anything dumb ok?”
Ena spoke in an annoyed voice, but it was almost obvious she didn’t *really* mean it, it was kinda like teasing, but that’s another thing Ena wouldn’t ever admit and it's not like Mizuki minded it either.
“Alrighty! Noted!!!!!!”
And so they went into the mall, they spent a few hours looking for clothes and just hanging out.
Ena really enjoyed it but the pain in her lungs and throat bugged her a bit.
By around 8pm Ena was already in her room, sitting on her bed she couldn’t hide her excitement from today’s events, she was moving her legs in a kicking motion and hugging her pillow with a bright smile and blush on her face, giggling , if someone took a picture of her at that very moment she’d look like teen girls in movies crushing over a guy.
When she heard footsteps she quickly threw her pillow at the other side of her bed and grabbed her phone.
“Yo, Ena” Akito, her brother came into her room.
“What do u want?”
“Ok jeez you don’t have to be so cold you know? Anyways i need some help in unpacking something and just can you help me out?”
“What, you can’t do it yourself?”
“… Actually i’ll do it myself i don’t need your pissy attitude” And he closed the door.
That was fast, Ena guessed that meant he didn’t need any help to begin with and just didn’t feel like doing all of the work.
Right work, she hadn’t finished the last drawing for her group’s mv but it's due in like a week right? She can take a day off from time to time. Since today’s been an eventful day to say the least.
Right, maybe tomorrow she should search up something about Hanahaki and all that, since it seems like a good idea to know a few things about what you have right?
Even though it was only close to 9 pm Ena felt somewhat tired, I mean she didn’t have anything else to do today so maybe sleep won’t be such a bad option? And so soon after Ena was asleep.
