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.

Stolen novel; please report.

"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.
