桜の花

Mark was walking down the street, holding his banana milk in his hands. He loved it, admittedly. 

- Sakura..- he looked up the trees and saw all these blooming flowers coloring the sky. -Mmh, beautiful. 

Actually he has never been interested about it. He admitted it is pretty, but it will fade away by time. Why waiting for something so long if it will disappear soon? Even if it is the most beautiful thing that could happen in spring.. he has never understood why people are so into these flowers. But, it is not his business - he said this all the time.

While he was walking between people who were taking pictures of themselves under the cherry blossom, he bumped into someone. 

His banana milk.. fell out of his hands.. to the ground.

-OH MY GOD! -he yelled it. 

-SORRY SORRY SORRY! -the other guy couldn't do anything else, but apologise.

-Well.. it's okay don't worry! -Mark said, sadly. He was about to walk away, but the other boy stopped him.

-Come, I'll buy you a new one! -he said. 

Mark didn't want to accept his offer, but somehow he conviced him. 

So now, they are walking back to the convenience store. After his curiosity started to grow out his shyness, he asked his name. That's how it turned out his name is Haechan, he is one year younger than him, and they live in the same town. Though, they have never seen each other.

-This one, right? But you can choose something else too if you want. -Haechan smiled, and Mark couldn't do anything else, but smile back. 

-No, it will be fine. -he grabbed the new milk and went to the checkout. Haechan payed for it, and Mark happily opened his new drink.

-You want some? -he asked, shyly. 

Haechan couldn't think about anything else, but how cute the other boy is. His jacket is a size bigger than the boy himself, he is holding his drink with his tiny hands, and the light breeze is petting his hair. Mark is older, but much sweeter than him. 

-Thanks, but no. I don't really like the banana flavoured one. I prefer strawberry..- he confessed.

-WHAT? Let me buy you one. -as soon as he said it, he turned around and started going back to the store.

-NO NO NO NO! MARK STOP!! -he yelled after him. Mark was a bit shocked seeing his reaction, but he stopped, immediatly. -I caused the trouble, why would you buy me one?

Mark hesitated. He didn't know why to be honest, but the words slipped out of his mouth without even realizing what is he saying.

-Because if I always go back, this moment won't fade away after we reach the corner. 

The air froze between the two boys. The sakura was blooming above them, but they couldn't even look at the trees. The other's face was more precious than any of these flowers, their eyes were holding the stars, while their soul wanted to dance together not just now, but forever.

-Well, then I want you to buy me one, Mark. 

And that's how their beautiful, yet fleeding love started.
