Snow In December
109 Days is getting closer

Tsubaki holds the unconscious Hinana. Although he complained many times but actually he laughed because he heard Hinana singing. The other friends also laughed because they thought it was funny when Hinana was drunk.

Arriving at home Aoyama told Hinana and Arimura to sleep in the room, while he slept in the middle room.

"Sensei, I brought you some food." Arumi approached Aoyama slowly as she doubted whether Aoyama was asleep or not.

"Thank you." As usual Aoyama always answered briefly and received a box of food.

"I also thank you, because sensei gave me a handkerchief."

"It's just a coincidence, my aunt said if you help someone then one day you'll be helped if it's hard."

"That's right. Your aunt must be a good man. " Answer answered Arumi slowly. He knew that he and Aoyama had no parents. It's just that Aoyama was lucky to have a good Uncle and Aunt, different from him.

"Go to sleep."

"Humm, Oyasumi (good night)." Arumi left him. He also knows that if Aoyama is difficult to talk to, maybe his existence bothers him.

"Oyasumi???(Good night)." he said very slowly and smiled a little. Because this time he heard someone say good night. Then he started eating the food that Arumi gave him.

The next day Hinana woke up with a slightly dizzy head. He walked slowly to the kitchen to get a drink because he saw Arimura who was still sleeping.

"How are you doing?"

The voice that shocked Hinana because it was still early morning.

"Just a little dizzy. You awake yet? " ask Hinana to Ren.

"Of course." Ren approaches Hinana and gives her a cup of chamomile tea.

"Drink, it may reduce dizziness. "

"Thank you." Hinana accepted it and slowly drank it. Hinana doesn't remember what happened last night, maybe her friends will laugh at her because she was drunk last night.

At nine in the morning everyone was ready to leave, except Arimura who had not been in the house since Seven in the morning.

"Five more minutes my sister will be there, get ready!!!. " Say Hinana after calling.

He told his brother to drive him to his destination in his father's car.

"Where's Ren? " ask Tsubaki because she hasn't seen Ren since morning.

"He's still in the bathroom, I'll call you." Answer Arumi.

"I'm the only one who's approached her." Aoyama interrupts Arumi and enters the house. Because he also took a small oxygen tube left behind.

"Ren, the car's coming. Hurry on!! " said Aoyama near the bathroom door.

But it had been five minutes that he had called out to her and there was no reply from within. Aoyama became panicked as the bathroom door was locked from the inside.

"More... You're doing fine. Ren's... Open it. " while continuing to turn Aoyama's knocks banged on the door for worry. Without a second thought he went out of the house to call Tsubaki to help him.

"Oiii come with me for a minute." Shouted Aoyama calling Tsubaki and there was already Ryusei Hinana's sister.

"What's up Onichan? " ask Ryusei.

"I didn't call you, hurry up." Shouts Aoyama and Tsubaki then approach him.

Without saying much Aoyama immediately told Tsubaki to open the bathroom door.

"How long has it been inside? " ask Tsubaki in a panic.

"I don't know either, I've called him five minutes and there's no reply." Aoyama answered by trying to break down the door.

"Very hard, wait for me to borrow the jack." Tsubaki runs out to borrow something in Hinana's sister's car.

BRAAAKKKK

Ryusei manages to break the bathroom door, leaving it open.

"Sugoi.. .(cool) You're as strong as your brother." Tsubaki said and patted Ryusei on the shoulder. While Aoyama immediately looks for Ren and finds him Ren's body fell under the sink.

"You okay? " ask Aoyama in a panic. Ren was still conscious but his body was so weak that he could not even speak.

"Where's your smartband?" ask her once more and Ren just pointed towards the counter next to the sink.

Aoyama immediately delivers oxygen to the tube, assisted by Tsubaki holding Ren's body. While Ryusei only looked on in confusion.

"Please get my bag in front of the terrace. " Aoyama told Ryusei and with a nod Ryusei obeyed his orders.

"Anooo, don't tell Ren's disease to Hinana's sister. " Aoyama told Tsubaki.

"of course. "

Aoyama repeatedly takes her to the hospital but Ren refuses. He always said if he could breathe, it was just pain. Finally with all his might Aoyama gave first aid even though it took a long time.

"I'm not responsible if you die there" Aoyama said resentfully after giving first aid. While Tsubaki and Ryusei are gone because Aoyama told him to.

"If I die there, it's okay, I won't regret it." Ren replied and gave a smile.

"Sensei help me walk."

Without saying anything Aoyama obeyed Ren's words. Aoyama lets Ren go with the oxygen hose he's attached to count.

"Are you okay? " asked Hinana anxiously as she waited for almost an hour. Ren just smiled and nodded in response. Hinana helps Ren get in the car and sits in the middle.

Many times his friends ask Aoyama what happened to Ren. But Aoyama seemed reluctant to give an answer, it was because Aoyama was upset when Ren repeatedly begged her to join the festival.

"Just let Ren sleep during the trip, you all shut up." A booming speech came out from Aoyama's mouth, and everyone in the car was silent at last. While Ren only smiled glanced at Aoyama and finally closed his eyes.

During the trip Ren closed his eyes and Hinana could only pay attention to him.

Hinana could only mutter in her heart while looking at Ren's face. With Ren's condition like this his mind was far away. Hinana's tears slowly came out at the thought of that.

Aoyama can see it even though she pretends not to care. He also felt afraid that Ren would suddenly stop breathing.

"Sensei, are the dead really above the sky? "say Ren while looking up at the night sky. Hearing Ren's words he remembered the words of his lover.

"That's possible. " Aoyama answered briefly.

Aoyama closed her eyes and held her head as she kept thinking about someone's death.

After the death of his mother and her lover was he able if he had to see the death of the person next to him?

The man who just became his friend.

That's what Aoyama's been a burden all along.

Aoyama also heard from her mother Hinana, if her father was in Tokyo due to severe illness. Will the people who are nearby be the same fate?

Aoyama feels that her life is self-destructed.

Slowly the person next to her would leave her, including Hinana.
