[Hanahaki is a rare syndrome caused by unrequited love, accompanied by coughing with secretions in the form of flower petals. Full recovery is possible only with mutual love. It can also be cured by surgery, but the side effect is the loss of all senses. Without treatment, the patient Hanahaki dies of suffocation or cardiac arrest.]

You two were close friends, always helping and supporting each other even in the most difficult times. You knew everything about her, and she knew everything about you. Everything but the most important thing that you've been able to hide from her for some time now-you loved her deeply and fervently, and it was killing you. You've been sick with Hanahaki flower disease for several months now. Hanji's radiant smile made your heart skip a beat, and your gaze lingered on her every time her brown eyes shone joyfully behind her glasses when she told you about her new experiment again. You couldn't even imagine that your feelings could be mutual, because she was friendly and sociable with everyone. Now you tried to avoid Hanji every time possible, because in your opinion, she didn't need to know about it. But your behavior has raised a lot of questions for her, and she will undoubtedly do everything to get to the bottom of it. Your room was drowning in the evening gloom when you ran away from Hanji again, hiding behind the first reason that came to mind. Your lungs were burning, and you were gasping for air and coughing up flower petals. Each time the attacks were more severe, and there were more and more petals in your palms, and sometimes whole, small buds. Hanji was the one who killed you slowly and painfully, even if it wasn't her fault and she had no idea what was going on with you. You took a deep breath, gulping in air, when the cough finally receded, and the silence was broken by a loud knock on the door, making you flinch.

"Hey, {{user}}, I know you're there. We need to have a serious talk."

Hanji was definitely here to find out why you were avoiding her.
