~Flower of Love~


Adeline was an average and plain girl. She likes to tie up her hair in a bun and wear her uniform loosely. She has bright long golden eyes. She is average in her studies too. She’s just a typical first year high school girl. She has a childhood friend called, Admund. He is cheerful and kind. His hair is spiked up and he wears geeky glasses. They were RReaally good friends. Adeline might have like Admund and might not. But they were so close that they texted and called each other every day without fail. Admund has a brother who is 2 years younger than him, Amirey. Well, he is practically the same as Admund except, he is more rebellious and doesn’t wear glasses. He is sporty and outgoing and plays soccer.

One day, when Adeline and Admund was on the phone as usual, Amirey wondered, ‘They are closer than normal childhood friends, the things they do are different too. Maybe they’re dating? Is the Adeline girl pretty?’

Out of curiosity, Amirey asked,

“Hey brother!  Do you have a picture of this Adeline girl? I wanted to see how your childhood friend look like.”

“Sure! Hmm……here! The girl in the bun, that’s her!”

“Geh! She’s ugly! She look really plain and boring. “

Adeline, who was still on the other line of the phone, heard what Amirey said. At that point of time, she felt a piercing stab on her heart. She know that she’s not pretty and is really plain. But she can’t help it….

~Two Years Later~

Amirey transferred into Adeline’s and Admund’s school. Adeline and Admund bumped into each other many times and one afternoon….

“Ouch! Ahh! That hurts!”

The girl with the bun fell onto ground and rubbed her bum in pain.

“Sorry! Are you okay? “

The boy who knocked on to her offered his hand to pull her up, asked in concern.

“Yeah! I’m fine. Than-!”

She looked up and saw a familiar face.

“Wait…Aren’t you Admund’s younger brother? Geez, how many times has it been? We’ve been knocking on to each other a lot. “

“Yeah, you’re right. Hahaha! What a strange thing to happen!”

Both of them laughed at their weird coincides.
Because of this, both of them quickly become good friends. They met up frequently, ate lunch together, hang out after school. And finally ‘that’ day arrived….

Amirey asked to meet up with Adeline at the school’s only cherry blossom tree.

“Amirey! What do you want to talk to me about?”
“Hey…Adeline. Do you know? This tree is our school’s most popular spot for confession. Rumors said that whoever that confessed and being accepted under this tree will have an everlasting love with the person he loved. “

“Eh? I didn’t know that…But is that related to what you want to talk to me about?”

“Yea. Adeline, ever since we started hanging out, I keep on having this fuzzy feeling in my heart. Every time I see you, I get really happy and my heart couldn’t stop throbbing. Every time I look at you in the eyes, I will start to flustered. This uncomfortable feeling, I couldn’t understand it no matter how I ask about it. But now, I finally understand. This strange feeling that I harbored , it’s something called ‘ Love’ . Adeline, I love you. Can you go out with me?”

“Wha-what are you saying? Ahaha! Didn’t you said that I’m ugly? “

“Yes, I did say that. But I’m wrong, you’ve changed. I’ve changed. You’re pretty and kind and caring in my eyes. And I love you. I love you who you are . I love your eyes, your hair, everything. I’m sorry for what I’ve said in the past. I just want you to know that I really love you. I don’t want to give you to anybody”

“I….I, I need to think about it. When the time comes, I will give you the answer. So please, wait until then…”

~~~

Since then, Amirey tried his best to make Adeline happy in all ways. He send her home every single day , no matter how late her club activities end , he will wait for her. He bring her out whenever she’s free to keep her accompanied. And on one of the day of their outing. Adeline confessed to Amirey.

“Amirey, I’ve fallen in love with you. I won’t say I accepted you. Instead , I will say, Can you go out with me? “

Hearing this, Amirey was overjoyed. He jumped in happiness and embraced Adeline .

“Of course I would!”


Their flower of love has just sprouted. Their love life carried on. Waiting for the day where the flower would fully bloom.
