Sasuke's face flushed slightly, and his heartbeat sped up uncontrollably.
He tried to think about something else to distract himself.
Actually, all he had to do was say something, and they could change this intimate position. But for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to speak. He wanted to stay just as they were.
Thump~ thump~ thump~
As his thoughts wandered, Sasuke heard a pounding heartbeat.
He thought it was his own at first, then realized it was Sakura's.
And then he found himself drawn to the sound of her heartbeat.
Sakura's heart is beating so fast.
Of course it was. Sakura felt as if her heart was about to leap right out of her chest.
This was the first time in her life that she had been so close to the person she liked.
They were pressed right up against each other.
How could her heart not race?
Then Sasuke's face grew even redder. It occurred to him that if he had realized how intimate this position was, surely Sakura must have realized it too.
For a while, the two of them stayed frozen in that position.
"Sakura, are Sasuke's injuries that difficult to treat? You still haven't healed him?"
Just as neither of them knew how to break the awkward silence, Tsunade walked over.
Seeing how long Sakura had been treating Sasuke, she assumed his injuries were serious.
That shouldn't be right. With Sasuke's constitution and Sakura's treatment, he should be almost fully recovered by now, shouldn't he?
After all, none of Sasuke's injuries were life-threatening.
Then she saw Sakura and Sasuke scramble to their feet, one turning left and the other turning right.
Looking at their suspicious behavior, Tsunade finally realized she shouldn't have interrupted the two youngsters.
"Carry on, carry on. Don't mind me."
Not embarrassed
