I've gotten quite a number of positive feedbacks with this story and I would like to thank those who posted their reviews. I'd like to take this opportunity to once again mention that this manuscript was inspired by Lauren Aquilina's songs and the movies 'Ocean Waves' and 'Only Yesterday' by Studio Ghibli - hence the excessive use of flashbacks.
And of course, tying them together with parallels from the Naruto Universe as well as the use of romantic clichés to form a somehow working plot.
By the way, who else has a playlist for this now? No one. Just me then.

How about some 'Easter Eggs'?
(If you didn't already notice.)
At the beginning of (1.3), it was specified that it was 'Mon, June 01' – Uchiha Mikoto's birthday.
In (7.3), it was specified that it was 'Sun, Aug 16'. Just like Sasuke said it was Uchiha Fugaku's birthday.
Sakura first talked to Sasuke on Mikoto's birthday. That day Sasuke did not act cold towards her like he did in the following days. Then, On Fugaku's birthday, Sakura was supposed to talk to Sasuke about her feelings for him. When Sakura finally told Sasuke that she loves him and he ended up rejecting her, it was already pass Fugaku's birthday as by the time Sakura reached her bus stop, her alarm to call Sasuke every morning went off.
In these two scenes that revealed these dates, Sakura was checking her time which was '06:09 am'. Uchiha Itachi's birthday is on the ninth day of June.

699/17.1 – I think you all know what this reference is.
PREVIEW:
("Welcome to Karin and Suigetsu's Dinner Reception!~")
"So, did you talk to him yet?"
"Did you talk to Sasuke-kun yet?"
"So~ Did you and Sasuke-kun talked yet?
"Sasuke's over there. Did you two talked yet? Come over and say 'hi'."
"So~ Sasuke? He talked to you yet?"
"Hm~ … It's probably not any of my business but… Did you and Sasuke have the chance to talk yet?"
['Why is that all that everyone cares about?']
'Did you talk to him yet?' was the new 'Hello. How are you?'. That's what Sakura concluded.
…
"So… Want to dance?"
