Ｔｈｅ Ｓｕｎ Ａｎｄ Ｔｈｅ Ｆｌｏｗｅｒ (Hinata Shoyo x Reader)

Ch.5 Misunderstanding

■3rd Person POV■

It's been a month and a half since Y/N and Hinata met. Ever since his last visit a month ago, Hinata keeps coming to help Y/N at the store when he has free time and visits her mother too.

Today as well, he helps out at the store. Y/N watches as Hinata is getting used to working in the store, interacting with the customers and all, and is touched even more by him, he's like the sun in her dark days.

Hinata: Thank you, so much... please come again~

Customer: oh my, yes yes, we will surely come again.... bye bye Hinata, Y/N chan... lucky Y/N chan to find such a nice man...

Y/N's face reddens but before she could explain it to the customer, they already left.

Honda is watching at the youngster with a playful smirk from the back room. He has been working with the L/N since before he was married.

He knows Y/N since she was young and is happy to see that she looks a bit livelier l since she met Hinata. Losing her father at a young age and found out that her mom has a dangerous illness, Y/N has been putting on a strong act.

But with Hinata around, she doesn't have a chance to act strong because Hinata always helps her out and she started to be more open up.

Everyone at the store is working on their own assignments. Honda is in charge of making the mochi, Hinata is restocking the mochi while Y/N serves the customer, when there's no customer, she helps Hinata.

Just then the telephone rings. Y/N comes and picks it up.

Y/N: hello, L/N Mochi... how can I help you?

Nurse: good afternoon, can I talk with L/N Ieri's daughter.

Y/N's chest tightened and she looks nervous, Hinata notices this and stops whatever he was doing.

Y/N: a-ah yes, it is I L/N Y/N...

Nurse: ah, Ms. L/N, your mother's conditions dropped... please come to the hospital...

Hinata could see the blood drained from Y/N's face and worries resurface. Y/N place the phone down and looks at Hinata.

Y/N: a-ah... I uh have to-

Hinata: let's go

Y/N's eyes widened when she looks at Hinata who looks serious. Honda told them to go while he'll take care of the store, and just like that Y/N and Hinata go to the hospital.

■Hinata's POV■

We're on the taxi heading to the hospital. I can't help but see how scared L/N is. Her body trembles a little and the looks on her face showing how worried she is.

I reach a hand and hold hers in mine. L/N looks up at me and I give her a smile, I need to try to reassure her.

Hinata: she will be okay... the doctors said they're checking her condition right...

I rub circles on the back of her hand and could feel that she's less trembling.

Y/N: Hinata san... mom... will she be alright?

Hinata: yes... we will be there soon okay...

When we arrived we walked to Ieri san's assigned room. When L/N opens the door we see Ieri san is laying on her bed, she looks at us and smiles. The nurse is looking at us and walks to us.

Nurse: ah, L/N...

Y/N: nurse, how's my mother?

Nurse: earlier her condition dropped, she keeps on vomiting... it's probably because of the chemotherapy... we need to watch her more closely... now that you're here and she's stable, I'll leave...
