Months passed, and life in the Hidden Leaf Village settled back into a familiar rhythm. Team 10 resumed their training and missions, going through the motions as if everything was as it should be. However, an unspoken tension hung in the air, and each member could feel it, yet no one dared to address it. They chose to ignore the lingering awkwardness, pretending that nothing had changed.
Ino officially began working at her family's flower shop, a decision that kept her busy and somewhat distracted. No longer spending as much time with Shikamaru and Choji, she poured herself into her work, arranging bouquets and attending to customers. Yet, in the quiet moments between the hustle and bustle, her mind drifted back to that day-the day Shikamaru had said he missed her. The way he had looked at her, the sincerity in his voice, lingered in her thoughts like a stubborn flower refusing to wilt.
She often caught herself glancing out the shop window, hoping to see him walking by. A part of her yearned to bridge the distance that had formed, but another part hesitated, unsure of how to navigate the tangled feelings that had grown over the months.
their interactions felt polite but distant. The unaddressed feelings created an invisible barrier, making her heart ache with the uncertainty of it all. Ino wondered if Shikamaru ever thought about her.
