The air was thick with anticipation as the school festival approached, promising a weekend of fun, laughter, and memories to be made. The festival was the perfect backdrop for a special moment Kenta had been planning for weeks. With every detail meticulously thought out, he was finally ready to confess his feelings to Hana.
Kenta had roped in Aiko, Ryo, and Yuki to help him with his grand plan. The trio was excited and eager to assist, knowing how much this moment meant to their friend. They spent the days leading up to the festival making preparations, ensuring everything would go off without a hitch.
On the first day of the festival, the school grounds were buzzing with activity. Stalls lined the pathways, offering delicious food, fun games, and colorful trinkets. Music filled the air, and the laughter of students and visitors created a joyful atmosphere.
Kenta, dressed in a smart yet casual outfit, took a deep breath as he approached Hana. She was manning one of the game stalls, her cheerful smile making his heart race. He couldn't help but admire how beautiful she looked, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she interacted with the visitors.
"Hana," he called softly, trying to steady his nerves.
She turned to him, her smile widening. "Hey, Kenta! Are you enjoying the festival?"
"Yeah, it's great," he replied, his voice a little shaky. "Can I steal you away for a bit? There's something I want to show you."
Hana's curiosity was piqued, and she nodded eagerly. "Sure! Just let me tell my partner."
Once she had handed over her duties, Kenta led her through the bustling festival grounds to a quieter part of the school garden. The area had been beautifully decorated with fairy lights and flowers, creating a magical ambiance. A small table was set up with a bouquet of her favorite flowers and a few candles flickering softly.
Hana gasped, her eyes wide with surprise and delight. "Kenta, this is... amazing! Did you do all this?"
Kenta nodded, his heart pounding in his chest. "With a little help from our friends," he admitted, glancing around nervously. "There's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time, Hana."
She looked at him, her expression softening as she realized the significance of the moment. "What is it, Kenta?"
Taking a deep breath, Kenta reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, beautifully wrapped box. "Hana, ever since we met, you've been the brightest part of my life. Your smile, your kindness, and your strength have inspired me in ways I can't even describe. I love you, Hana. I have for a long time. And I want to be with you, always."
He opened the box to reveal a delicate silver necklace with a heart-shaped pendant. Hana's eyes filled with tears as she looked at the necklace, then back at Kenta.
"Kenta, I... I don't know what to say," she whispered, her voice trembling.
"Say you'll be with me," Kenta said, his voice full of hope and love. "Say you'll give us a chance."
Hana's tears spilled over as she nodded, a radiant smile spreading across her face. "Yes, Kenta. Yes, I'll be with you."
With a relieved and joyous laugh, Kenta took the necklace and gently fastened it around her neck. Hana touched the pendant, her fingers lingering on the cool metal.
"I love you too, Kenta," she said softly. "I've always felt something special between us, and I'm so happy you feel the same way."
Kenta pulled her into a tender embrace, his heart soaring. As they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, the world around them seemed to fade away. For that moment, it was just the two of them, united by their love and the promise of a beautiful future together.
