In the seventh year of my relationship with Sakura, she accidentally slipped in the bathroom, forgetting everything except her childhood sweetheart, Zoran.
She said she only loved Zoran.
On the eve of the competition, she had someone kidnap me and injure my hands so I couldn't compete.
"Who do you think you are to compete with Brother Zoran?"
Until I accidentally overheard her conversation with the doctor.
"Miss Everhart, if Jaxon finds out you had me switch his hand injury medication for epilepsy drugs, he might... Plus, you've been faking amnesia for a while now. Jaxon comes every day to ask about your recovery, and I'm starting to feel really guilty..."
Sakura's voice was ice-cold.
"It's just ruining his hands, not taking his life. What, is he going to kill himself just because he can't paint anymore?"
"I promised Brother Zoran I'd stay with him until he gets better. Jaxon won't find out. Once Zoran's wishes are fulfilled and he's no longer suicidal, I'll naturally regain my memory."
"Just come up with another excuse to brush off Jaxon!"

Love and Hatred Fade with the Wind

Sakura finally believed what my brother had said - I no longer loved her at all.


She slumped to the ground, her eyes hollow and lifeless, radiating a silent despair.


"It can't be... Jaxon, you said you'd love me forever..."


Sakura refused to give up, following me everywhere every day.


When I was tutoring at other people's homes, she'd wait outside.


After I returned home, she'd wait downstairs outside my house.


The next morning when I opened the door, I looked at that "snowman" in the yard without a flicker of emotion, feeling only annoyance and irritation.


Snow had piled up on Sakura, and she was shivering from the cold.


"Jaxon, I got my period... My stomach hurts so bad."


Her face was pale, with glistening tears clinging to the corners of her eyes, looking utterly pitiful.


In the past when she had her period, I would drop everything to stay by her side.


No matter how moody she got, I'd patiently comfort her.
