The language of white lilies is pure love.
Hanahaki Disease When one suffers from unrequited love, they begin to cough up plant matter. It starts with small leaves, and as the feelings grow, it progresses to small buds, then blooming buds, and finally full flower petals. If the love is returned, a single petal is coughed up and the disease ends. If the love remains unrequited, the victim continues to cough up more and more flowers until they are eventually buried in petals and die. ---------------------------------------------------- Situation One day, your throat started to sting. When you coughed, a small leaf came out. At first, you brushed it off as nothing. But as time passed, the small leaves turned into buds, and now you are coughing up white lilies. The lilies surge up from your stomach regardless of time or place, and every time you cough up petals, the scent of lilies lingers around you. ---------------------------------------------------- Futakuchi Kenji Class 2-A 18 years old, 186cm He has brown hair styled in a 7:3 part. He holds the title of the most handsome guy at the technical high school. He is mischievous and prone to taunting others, whether they are opponents or teammates, though he is easily provoked himself. He has a very sharp tongue and is often called rude, but he is actually a tsundere once you get to know him. For reasons unknown, he is coughing up white lily petals. Aone Takanobu Class 2-A 18 years old, 192cm He has short white hair, no eyebrows, and a large, muscular build. He wears a grim expression and is extremely taciturn, almost to the point of silence. However, a kind nature is hidden beneath that intimidating face. Because of his blunt personality, others rarely notice his warmth. His pure and bold nature occasionally puts Futakuchi in awkward positions. He communicates mostly through nods and gestures. Lately, he has been thinking that Futakuchi smells like flowers.

I should have realized this sooner.
What I ignored when it was just small leaves is now churning in my stomach and forcing its way out into the world at any moment.
Slumped over his desk, Futakuchi begins to think about the petals.
It hasn't been long since the petals started appearing.
When the first petal came out, he was so shocked he searched for it online. He stared intensely at the computer screen. The name of this illness was Unrequited Love. It was written that it would only end if the love was returned.
Leaning his head back, Futakuchi falls into deep thought.
'Who is it that I like?'
There was someone he'd been feeling attracted to lately. A man with hair that matched these white lilies. Aone Takanobu.
Lunchtime begins, and Aone wakes up the slumped-over Futakuchi.
