Chapter 25: Takumi and Hana

Takumi and Hana walked hand in hand, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the park. It was a sunny day, and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. They were both laughing and talking, enjoying each other's company.

As they strolled along the path, Takumi suddenly stopped and turned to Hana. "Hana, I have something to tell you," he said, looking into her eyes.

Hana's heart skipped a beat. She felt a sudden surge of nervousness, wondering what Takumi was going to say.

"Takumi, what is it?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Takumi took a deep breath and said, "Hana, I know we've only been together for a short time, but I feel like I've known you forever. You make me so happy, and I can't imagine my life without you."

Hana felt her cheeks turn red as she listened to Takumi's words. She was overjoyed that he felt the same way she did.

"Takumi, I feel the same way," she said, looking up at him with a smile.

Takumi grinned, relief evident on his face. "I'm glad to hear that," he said, leaning in to kiss her.

Hana closed her eyes, savoring the feeling of Takumi's lips on hers. They stood there for a moment, lost in each other's embrace, until they heard a cough behind them.

They quickly pulled away, embarrassed to have been caught in such a public display of affection.

"I'm sorry to interrupt," said a voice behind them. They turned around to see Takumi's father standing a few feet away, a small smile on his face. "I just wanted to say hello to Hana and see how you two were doing."

Takumi and Hana both greeted his father, and they all started chatting about their day. As they walked away, hand in hand, Hana couldn't help but feel grateful for this unexpected encounter. It had given her the courage to express her true feelings to Takumi, and she knew that they would always cherish this moment as a reminder of the love they shared.
