Bonus: A Soaking Wet Rainy Day

It's pouring rain outside the window.

The sound of the pouring rain completely permeated the air in the living room, making it seem damp as well.

"Um, Ino, may I have a bite of the grilled meat on your plate?" Naruto suddenly looked up and asked.

"No!" Ino sat down at the table and refused without hesitation, muttering, "Don't you have some on your own plate?"

"What does it matter?" he said. "It's pouring rain right now!"

"What does the downpour have to do with you wanting to eat what's on my plate?" Ino sighed. She shouldn't have come here to take shelter from the rain.

It was as if the heavens knew she was going to pass by; no sooner had she arrived than a torrential downpour began.

"Of course it's related." Naruto looked up and stared openly at Ino's fair neck. "In this kind of weather, lovers are bound to confess their feelings."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ino shrugged slightly, blushed for a moment, and her gaze instantly became evasive.

"It's that kind of story, where someone suddenly becomes tender because of missing someone, and the other person braves the heavy rain to go to another place, standing in the rain looking at the other person."

He casually twirled his chopsticks and said with a nonchalant expression.

"Then I confessed my feelings in the pouring rain, and then did nothing else. Before the other person could react, I turned around and left."

"Ugh, that's such a cliché," Ino said disdainfully.

"Isn't it romantic? It's idealism, it distills the most beautiful and pure part of love." He tilted his head and said, "So girls are completely indifferent to this kind of thing."

"Of course, like you said, that's just too silly," Ino said.

"If it were me, I would do the same. Although you're right, it's a bit silly," Naruto said after a moment of thought. "But there would definitely be something that can capture the other person's heart."

"That's true, but if you can't feel the other person's feelings, it'll still feel inexplicable, right?" Ino said, her knuckles gripping the chopsticks tightly.

"Maybe so, but that youth and purity are still very touching," Naruto said. "If it hadn't rained, there probably wouldn't have been a confession."

"The rain will definitely stop soon, and this impulse will probably disappear as well."

"That kind of thing... um."

Ino.

"Ah!" She was startled, like a frightened rabbit.

"May I have a bite of the roast meat on your plate?" he asked.

"Whatever!" Ino suddenly stood up, her chopsticks clattering to the ground. She tried to pick them up but then sensed something was wrong and gritted her teeth as she said it.

"I don't care anymore!"

With that, Ino rushed into the bathroom with her head down.

"Hmm?" Naruto looked puzzled.

Inside the bathroom, Ino slumped weakly on the floor, panting heavily, her ears and face completely flushed.

"Honestly, what weird things are you saying?"

"It's raining. What's the point of confessing your feelings?"

"Actually, wet rainy days and stuff."

In the afternoon, there was thunder and lightning!
