After days full of misunderstanding, Hinata and Naruto have finally get to stand side by side together once again. At the front of the Huyga compound, Naruto softly kissed the back of her hand, saying he would come to see her again and left.

That night, Hinata couldn't sleep

That night, Hinata couldn't sleep. Just thinking how she had assumed all the things that lead to this chaos made her feel so embarrassed and guilty.

The moonshine streamed into the room as she slowly went beside the window. Recalling back to her and Sakura’s conversation.

'When you dump him, Hinata, he was so devastated that he didn't left his house for months.'

'You should have seen the state he was in when our friends came to visit him, Hinata.'

Hinata buried her face between her hands.

"If only I had talked to Naruto-kun...."

Countless "if" was crowded in her head. And she realized that whether when she was young or even now, she always make the wrong decision and regret it later. Wishing how she could have done it the other way. (most of her problems are origin from Naruto though)

That thought make her so miserable that kept her awake all night.

After a long night of self-blaming, she promise to herself that from now on, she would no longer hide. If anything tries to waver her she will try to confront it first. From that moment, she no longer hesitated.

Despite her determination though, she couldn't meet Naruto after that day. The summer festival is near and everyone is busy, especially people at Hokage Mansion.

Its been a hour since Hinata entered the mansion and stood awkwardly in the hallway as she watches people walking, almost running back and forth with their hands and minds both occupied

"Hey! Don't put that stuff there! It will block the banner!"

"We need more helper here!"

"Did you order the cape!?"

She hesitated (people don’t easily change lol) whether she should asked for meeting with the Hokage or lend a hand first.

After an hour of hesitation, she decided now is not a good time and headed straight back to the exit gate, seeking for next chance.

Hinata strode neatly to the exit, as she turn around the corner, suddenly a figure appear making her bump her head.

"Ouch… ah, sorry, I wasn’t looking-!”

Hinata gasped as she saw the figure.

"It's been a while."
