The Hanahaki Disease, an Illness born from unrequited love. Where the victims throat will fill up with flowers, coughing or throwing up the petals. It ends when the beloved returns their feelings, (romantic love only; strong friendship simply isn't enough) until the victim dies, or it can be removed surgically from the lungs, but the feelings will fade away with it.

In my world, this is common knowledge. Everyone knows not to fall in love with someone unattainable, because it costs a fortune for the surgery, or death.

In the world I live in, those who suffer from Hanahaki are pitied. It's not uncommon anymore to fall in and out of love. The disease only affects those who are truly lovesick, the ones who would take a bullet for someone who is even disgusted by their very being.

I have Hanahaki disease.

Most people would get the surgery to avoid death, but I don't regret falling hopelessly in love with someone who won't return my feelings. I simply can't imagine living in this world without these feelings I have, even if it costs my life.

I'll take my last breath and smile for the last time thinking about them.
