At the end of the party, 나루토 invited her to have coffee with him. Sakura was surprised but due to being polite, she agreed. They sat in a nice coffee shop, 나루토 was too say anything, Sakura felt uncomfortable, and she thought to herself, "Please, let me go home..." Suddenly he asked the waiter, "Would 당신 please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee." Everybody stared at him, so strange! Naruto's face turned red but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. Sakura asked him curiously, "Why 당신 have this habit?"
나루토 replied, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea, I liked playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there." While saying that tears filled his eyes. Sakura was deeply touched. That's Naruto's true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home...Then Sakura also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family.
That was a really nice talk, also a beginning beautiful of their story. They continued to date. Sakura found that actually 나루토 was a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, funny, a bit strange and a person that can protect her. 나루토 was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee!
Then the story was just like every beautiful 사랑 story, the princess married the prince, and then they were living the happy life...And, every time Sakura made coffee for Naruto, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it.
After 40 years, 나루토 passed away. He left Sakura a letter which said, "My dearest, Sakura, please forgive me, forgive my whole life's lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change so i just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell 당신 the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to 당신 for anything...now I'm dying, I'm afraid of nothing so i am telling 당신 the truth, i don't like salty coffee, what a strange bad taste...But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, i never feel sorry for anything I did for you.
Having 당신 with me is the biggest happiness of my whole life. if I can live for the 초 time, still want to know 당신 and have 당신 for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again."
Sakura tears made the letter totally wet.
one day, someone asked her, "What's the taste of salty coffee?" Sakura replied, "It's sweet."
