- "What is that supposed to mean?"
- "The hanahaki disease is where the victim of unrequited or one-sided love begins to cough or vomit up petals and flowers up from the flowering plant growing inside their lungs, which will eventually make it so breathing is impossible, but it can be cured when the beloved returns their feelings! Did you catch that?"
- "... What"
- "Basically you got a crush on someone who you ain't got no chance of pulling so a plant has started growing inside of your lungs. It can be stopped if they return the feelings. Now?"
- "Plant- inside my lungs? I- What- Huh?"
- They sighed. "You got plant growing inside your lungs because you got a crush who doesn't feel the same."
- "No, I understood the second time, but how is that possible?"
- "I don't know man. It sure as hell doesn't make any sense. But it is what it is, sooo... Yeah, good luck."
They stormed out of the room, leaving the door ajar.
- "Door!" I yelled, but they were already far.
I sighed and buried my face in the pillow once again. Crush? CRUSH? Are they serious? I don't have time for a silly little crush.
Or... Maybe they're right. No! They're not! Who would I have a crush on anyway? That's right. No one.
Who am I kidding? It's Licorice. Oh man, this is exactly like those middle-school crushes. Why am I stressing so much over this? But- No! I can't have a crush on him, it's just stupid! Arghh!
I got up and punched my wall in fury. My thoughts were a big cluster again.
Why am I like this? Why can't I accept the fact I like him?
Why can't I forgive myself?
I slid down against the wall. I still needed to comprehend what strawberry crepe said.
A plant growing inside my lungs? Won't I... die from that? And I need to... confess to stop it? But what if he doesn't like me back? Will the flowers just suffocate me? But what if he'll realize it was because he didn't like me back... I don't want him to hold himself accountable for it. But I know it's all my fault. Everything is my fault.
But doesn't this mean... He doesn't like me back?
