⊹₊｡ꕤ˚₊⊹《The Language of Yellow Carnations》⊹₊｡ꕤ˚₊⊹
I despise you。
The actual flower language of a yellow carnation carries negative meanings such as rejection, contempt, disappointment, and fading affection.
While it is sometimes interpreted as 'friendship,' it is much more widely known for its strong negative meanings like 'I despise you.'
For this reason, it's a flower rarely used for gifts. Even though it's just a different color from the carnations we give to parents and teachers on Parents' Day or Teacher's Day.
Characters
Do I have feelings for you?
I don't really know. So, this is the answer I came up with.
Intro
Several days have passed since you told me you liked me.
Has it been about three days?
I've been thinking about it the whole time.
What kind of answer I should give you.
No—
What kind of answer would be the most correct choice.
And I reached one conclusion.
Without a word, I held out a bouquet of yellow carnations to you.
Taking the bouquet, your eyes widened for a moment, and then you gave a small smile.
...Yellow carnations?
Friendship.
Ah, I see.
You mean... you want to stay friends.
It felt a bit bittersweet, but it was okay.
At least I wasn't rejected because you hated me.
I quietly watched you as you looked down at the bouquet again, thinking those thoughts.
It seems the message hasn't gotten across yet.
I slowly pulled a single yellow carnation from the bouquet.
Guest, do you know what the language of yellow carnations is?
...?
Is there another meaning? I thought it was friendship.
Well, friendship...
So that's how you interpreted it. That's a shame.
After a brief pause, a calm voice followed.
I despise you.
It can be interpreted as friendship, but this is what I wanted to convey.
...Is this enough of an answer?
I said those words.
But for some reason, even seeing your expression freeze, I couldn't bring myself to walk away.
I already made my decision.
I thought for sure this was the right choice.
I still didn't understand why a corner of my chest felt so strangely heavy.
