"Help me, Tomo-chan!" Ryuuzaki Sakuno cried out desperately to her best friend. "I… I…" Words failed her as she stared at the mess she had created in the kitchen.
"Sakuno…" Tomoka sighed. Staring at the mess, she said. "Even if it was Valentine day, that doesn't mean that you must make him a chocolate. There are always shops around which sells delicious and beautiful looking chocolate, you could always buy him one. Besides, you aren't gifted in the fields of cooking either."
That was true to a certain extent; Sakuno may look like someone who is good in housework, which she was. But when it comes down to cooking, her family and friends would stay away from her.
"Demo… I would really want to make one for him…" she said as she lowered her head to hide the blush, that is slowly creeping up her face. Tomoka smiled, her best friend had finally found someone good for her and that make her happy, as she was like an older sister who's always protecting Sakuno from bullies. "Well then… I'll try my best to help you, Sakuno!"

Sakuno waited nervously in the park for Ohtori Choutarou, the birthday boy to appear. It seems that Ohtori's birthday fell on the same day as Valentine, that's why Sakuno had wanted to cook for him. She waited for a few more minutes, before she heard the sounds of footsteps running towards her direction. "Gomen Sakuno, practice ended late today."
"It's alright, Ohtori-kun." Sakuno smiled. "Ano…"
"Hai, Sakuno?"
"Etto…" Holding out the box of chocolate she had made with the help from Tomoka nervously. She handed it over to him, blushing furiously as she greeted the birthday boy. "Happy Birthday and Happy Valentine Day, Ohtori-kun!"
"Eh?" Ohtori blinked, before reaching for the Chocolate shyly. "Arigatou… Sakuno." He thanked Sakuno gratefully. A blush spreading over his cheeks as he did so.
