Her feelings for him were like a sunflower that never looked at anyone but the sun.

But when the sun never looked at the sunflowers, they let the sunlight burn until the golden yellow petals turned dark. So what should she do next?

Hyuuga Hinata, a young woman with long, flowing purple hair, looked at the various flowers inside the Yamanaka store. The only flower shop in Konoha Village. Various types of flowers dazzled her eyes the more she looked at them. The colors painted on the flowers were so beautiful that she couldn't help but stand and admire them for a long time. Until a blonde-haired female friend who sat with her chin on her shoulder looked at her and greeted her.

“Isn't there any flower that you like? ”

She was slightly startled and turned to look at the sharp sound that came from the cash counter. Yamanaka Ino smiled at her before sitting with her chin on her back and looking at her as before. She wasn't too impressed because her female friends often came to admire the flowers at her shop. The more she was friends with this teasing girl, the more she liked to tease her.

“They're all so beautiful I don't know what flowers to buy.”

She said, lowering her eyes. Her favorite flowers are almost all kinds, and she doesn't have many favorite flowers in particular.

"sunflower"

Thinking of something, Ino stood up from the counter. He walked over and picked up a bouquet of beautiful golden yellow sunflowers before handing them to her.

“Its meaning is firm belief One love, one heart It suits her well.”

She stared at the bouquet of flowers in her friend's hand and her face heated up. Not only did it suit her, but when she stared at the beautiful flowers, she thought of someone's face.

“Then take one bouquet.”

She looked down at the bouquet of flowers on her chest before smiling slightly. Sunflowers are probably her favorite flower right now and she will probably always like them.

"Thank you very much, Hinata."

She nodded in response before turning around and preparing to walk out of the store.

"Give it to Naruto? ”

Her face heated up until smoke almost came out of her ears when she heard that name. She looked back to see Ino giving her a mischievous smile. All of Konoha knows about her secret crush on him. Except for him.

“No..no!”

She quickly ran out of the Yamanaka flower desert. Ino looked behind her friend who had rushed out and smiled secretly. If that idiot knew Hinata's feelings, how good would it be?

According to Greek legend, it is said that “Kleithi” is a beautiful female deity of the waters. She didn't care about any of the gods at all. But one day, a violent storm raged. The storm blew things away. that is underwater coming up on land including you She awoke on the beach and regained consciousness to see the sunlight she had only watched while underwater.

But what she was most fascinated with was probably not the sun. She fell in love with the god Apollo. She watched the beauty of the sun shining on the earth. day after day But Apollo never looked at her for a moment.

Until finally all the gods and goddesses felt sympathy. So she transformed her body into a kind of flower in the human world named "Sunflower". When the flower blooms, it will always turn to follow the sun from morning until dusk. Until the flowers naturally wither

And your love must be like her

“Watch him every day even though he doesn't turn to look at you.”

The original Hinata maneuvered down an alleyway with the sunflower still held close to her chest. As Ino said she intended to buy him flowers. But every time she saw him, she was so shy that she never gave him this beautiful flower.

Even though she tried to muster up the courage again and again, she couldn't give him the flowers. She thought that this was because her shy nature was a disadvantage. She had never been near him for more than five minutes. She never spoke to him for more than five sentences. It was really because of her personality. She lowered her eyes and let out a small smile. When will she be able to overcome herself?

"Hinata"

A low voice swayed by the wind that entered her ears, causing her to stop walking for a moment. She must have missed him too much to hallucinate. She took one deep breath and walked again.

"Hey Hinata!"

She turned towards the sound and was so startled that she took several steps back. A young man with golden yellow hair like the color of the flower she was embracing. He was looking suspicious and smiling at her.

“Where are you going?”

He said staring at the flower she was holding tight to. Who might she be buying flowers for?

"Let's go home."

She answered with a slight stammer and her face started to heat up. Until she felt that her face must be very red right now, and it would be even worse if she were still standing and talking to him.

"dress"

The quiet sounds around her made her both nervous and uncomfortable. She looked down at the bouquet of flowers close to her chest and sighed. Will she have the courage to hold it out and give it to him?

“Do you want me to send it away? ”

Her eyes widened in shock again. The fact that he invited her out like this made it even worse.

"Nah..Naruto-kun will suffer because of me."

She said in a soft voice. Normally he couldn't hear what she said. But now, because he was the only one with her, it was loud enough for him to hear.

"I didn't have anything to do and I just saw you."

“Let me send it away.”

The beaming smile he gave her defeated her. She nodded in response and walked out along the path with him walking beside her.

Uzumaki Naruto periodically glanced at the girl next to him. It had been like this since he could remember. She always talks a little and speaks softly. At first, he felt that she looked like a strange woman, saying little and appearing nondescript. But after being close to her for a while, he realized that she was just like any other girl.

It's just that her personality is that of a person who talks little and is shy. which he likes to get close to her to tease her His response sometimes made him dizzy. Whether the face is red Or faint when you meet him Sometimes it makes him feel like he is her nemesis.

“Who did you give those flowers to? ”

He, who talked a lot, felt a little uncomfortable that his and her conversations were always like this. He doesn't hold any grudges against her because he understands her personality.

"Oh..it's nothing, Naruto-kun."

She answered with a slight tremble in her voice, her heart pounding so loudly that she almost fainted on the spot. Who would dare say that the flowers in her arms were prepared to be given to him?

"dress"

“It's a sunflower, right? What is its meaning? ”

He paused his speech for a bit and then asked. He didn't like how it was described so quietly that he could barely hear his breathing. So he secretly looked at the golden yellow flowers in her arms. He had heard Ino talk about the meanings of different flowers, but he wasn't a sensitive person so he didn't pay much attention to them.

Her face lit up slightly when he asked about the meaning of this flower. She pursed her lips tightly and her eyebrows furrowed in thought. The profound meaning of it if it were him He probably wouldn't mind too much. Having made up her mind, she turned to smile at him and then explained her meaning.

“It means stability. One love, one heart.”

“Just like a sunflower never looks at anything other than the sun.”

She finished and smiled a little. The meaning of the sunflower was the same as hers. She who only looks at him

“It's a pity.”

When he finished listening to the meaning, he muttered. The meaning of this flower is sad because it is like being tied to something impossible. Sunflowers survive on sunlight even though the sun is indifferent to them. Some days, it shines with intense light, burning the beautiful flower petals until they are blackened. Some days it doesn't shine until the flowers wither. And the more you compare it to love, the more sad it becomes.

“Is that pitiful? ”

She mumbled, stealing a glance at him. The way he interpreted it would be sad for him and she thought the same as him. Sunflowers never turn to anyone but the sun. which she never turned to anyone but him either

“Some days it shines until the petals are dark.”

“Some days it doesn't shine until the flowers wither.”

He stared at the golden yellow flower in her arms before continuing.

“The sun doesn't even appear to look good on the flowers.”

He said shaking his shoulders slightly. It's true what they say, the sun doesn't care if the petals of a beautiful flower turn black. Will the beautiful flower petals wither? But the sunflower chose to be like this. Gorgeous golden yellow flowers choose to turn dark and wither. Until the flower dies

“But Sunflower is patient. Even if the sun doesn't care at all.”

She tried to argue with him beside the sunflower that represented her. It was so close to her heart and feelings that she wanted to embrace and protect it.

“Be patient until you are willing to hurt yourself.”

She stopped in her tracks when he uttered those words. It's true what they say. The sunflower turned and looked only at the sun, not caring if that feeling would come back to hurt herself.

"What's the matter, Hinata? ”

Her steps stopped so suddenly that he could hardly brake in time. The person next to him had a bad expression on his face, so much so that he thought she might be sick, so he reached out and touched her round forehead.

“Hinata? ”

He pulled his hand back and looked at her face with confusion. It was really good before, but the current situation seemed even more uncomfortable than before.

“But sunflowers. I love only the sun. only interested in the sun Don't care if that feeling hurts you. Just knowing that I love you is enough.”

She let out a slightly louder roar and answered him. She pursed her lips tightly and stared at his handsome face. Your feelings are like sunflowers.

"dress"

"You must have really liked it. I spoke my mind. I'm sorry."

She shook her head before smiling at him. Everything he said was true. Because the sunflower only looks at the sun. Will the sun care or not? It never cared, just turned and admired it from afar. Just this made the poor sunflower very happy.

"Naruto-kun, there's no need to apologize."

She said and tightened the bouquet of flowers before walking away again. Just a few more streets and it would be her house. She smiled happily at this brief moment of happiness. She was happy to walk beside him. She wanted to walk beside him forever. But it's sad that she just wants to walk beside him alone.

No matter how close we are

But our hearts aren't even close to each other

He looked at the small figure walking in front of him and a feeling flashed through his dull heart. Hinata was the girl he had met since childhood. When he first met her, she came to his rescue even though she was just as scared as he was. But that shows her bravery. And she became bolder and braver, so much so that he couldn't help but admire her.

She grew up very well. Always cheering him on and he feels good to have you in his memories. She was such a beautiful young woman that sometimes he was secretly infatuated with her. Those feelings were probably the same as he watched his teammate Sakura. But when compared, Hinata's feelings towards Hinata are completely different from Sakura's. It must be like the feeling he likes to eat sticky rice stuffed with bean paste.

"Thank you for coming, Naruto-kun."

She turned and smiled at him when she reached her destination. He came out of his thoughts and stared at her smiling face.

"dress"

“Go in.”

He smiled at her as loudly as ever, but inside he was confused and dazed. He didn't want to be separated from her. He wanted to be with her a little longer.

“Uh huh.”

She let out a noise in her throat before turning and preparing to enter the house. This was another time when she didn't give him flowers. It's like this again. It's always been like this.

She wanted to overcome the feelings in this little heart, and this time she should succeed.

"Naruto-kun!"

Before he could walk away, she closed her eyes and called out his name loudly. Just the sound of her calling his name made his heart swell strangely.

“Hinata? ”

He tilted his head suspiciously as she approached him, his face turning red. But now both of their hearts were pounding so hard they were almost bursting out of their chests.

“I give”

She said softly and handed him the bouquet of flowers she had cherished all that way. He was a little surprised when she suddenly gave it to him instead. But he didn't want to reject her kindness, so he stretched out his hand to receive the beautiful bouquet of horoscopes.

“Give me? ”

She nodded in response before turning away. She was now so embarrassed that her face was almost the color of a ripe tomato.

"thank you"

He beamed at her again. His heart was pounding for no apparent reason. It was not at all like when he ate sticky rice stuffed with bean paste.

"Ummm, I'll go into the house first."

Before he could protest, she rushed into the house. He secretly smiled slightly when he saw the small back disappear into the house. She was still as shy as ever, which wasn't like he didn't like that much. He looked at the bouquet of flowers in his hand and smiled. The first bouquet of flowers he received from her, he would treasure as carefully as she had intended to give them to him.

A sunflower that only looks at the sun.

Now it blooms knowing that the sun also looks at the sunflowers.
