(???'s POV)
Eh? Isn't that Hinomori Shizuku?
Who is that blonde boy she's with? Her boyfriend?
I should take a picture and show it to my friends
/Two days later/
(Rui's POV)
Another day has arrived
Let me check my phone
An image of the popular idol Hinomori Shizuku with a boy has been spreading around the internet, according to the original post, the boy is the idol's boyfriend
This can't be true... right?
Tsukasa-kun isn't dating Shizuku-kun... right?
That shouldn't matter right now, I have a show to put up today
/Before the show/
The show is about to start and I see... Shizuku-kun?!
I tried to keep my cool throughout the show, and afterwards, the others went home while I stayed behind and went to the backstage
I started crying right as they left, but after a few minutes, I hear someone approaching
It's Nene
Nene
Rui? Are you there?
"What is it? Do you need me?"
Nene
Oh my gosh! Have you been crying?
"It's... it's nothing"
Suddenly, I started coughing, I covered my mouth
Nene
Rui?
She rushed into the backstage
When I separated my hands from my face, we could see a crimson rose petal, in the middle of my cupped hands
Nene looks horrified
"What's wrong?"
Nene
I... I thought...
No... it can't be...
"Nene, what is it that you know but I don't?"
Nene
Well... you see...
This is the hanahaki disease
The fact that you have it right now...
"Tell me what this is first"
Nene
I thought it was only in the legends, but seems like it's real...
It's a deadly disease that keeps the victim suffering until they die
It's contracted when the victim suffers one-sided love
And can either be cured by removing the roses inside the victim or for the victim's love interest to confess their love
The side effects for removing the roses is that the victim would forget about their love interest
If it's not cured, then the victim will die
"I'd rather die than forgetting him"
Nene
Forgetting about who?
"I don't want to forget Tsukasa-kun"
I say as tears rise from my eyes
