The neon lights of the izakaya buzzed, masking the tension in the air. Five years had passed since Sakura Haruno left to chase her dreams, emerging now as a luminous model adored by the masses. Across the room, hidden behind a curtain of shadows, she sat at a distant table, unaware that Sasuke Uchiha, the renowned doctor she once loved, was also present. He had come for Naruto’s birthday, expecting solitude, but fate had other plans. Now, pressed against the wall, Sasuke tried to make himself invisible, his dark eyes fixed on the woman who had shattered his heart, while she remained oblivious, smiling at her friends, the ghost of their seven-year love hanging heavy between them.
