Snow In December
115 First date

It was a sunny morning in the summer and Hinana had already smelled her father's refreshing coffee.

"Ohayou. (good morning)." Hinana's greeting to her father who was sitting by reading the newspaper.

"Ohayou, I heard you started with your old job again." Aoi folded the newspaper she read and folded her hands forward to talk to her daughter.

"New job, I'll be following the audition next Monday. " Hinana answered and drank a cup made by her father.

"Wait a minute, you can make yourself." Aoi failed to prevent Hinana's mouth from sipping her coffee. He only shook his head because remembering his daughter's behavior was still the same nothing changed.

"Where's Ryusei? " Hinana asked her sister, because the house was very quiet. Usually if Ryusei always sings indistinctly in the morning.

"Have gone to work. Hinana, I'm gonna make your brother chairman director aren't you a problem? " ask his father who is discussing business.

"Why otousan (father) asked me, do it if you think it's good. I have absolutely no interest in my father's company" Hinana said, then went to the bathroom.

Hinana looks busy choosing a dress. Today was the first time she was going to date Ren. I don't know why Hinana was nervous.

"Woe.... Itai (sick). " Hinana fell down and hit her head on the wall.

"From when you were there" Hinana said and still recuperated in pain. He was shocked when Aoyama suddenly stood in front of Hinana's unclosed room.

"Why are you wrong." Aoyama chuckles and walks into Hinana's room and plays her piano.

"Hey who told you to come in, go..!!!" Hinana tries to drag Aoyama out of her room but does not succeed at all either this time her weak self or Aoyama who is too strong.

"alright. Are you going on a date with Ren?"

The question from Aoyama made Hinana even more embarrassed until her cheeks began to turn red.

"You know where it came from? " ask Hinana timidly. Then Aoyama pointed at Hinana's wide-open closet and some clothes strewn across her bed.

"Hinana, do you know what makes Ren like you?" Aoyama slowly approached Hinana's clothes and tidied them in the closet.

"Ren likes you no matter what you are, be yourself." Aoyama said again.

Hinana was embarrassed that Aoyama had guessed right. He immediately dragged Aoyama out.

"Just take care of your own business." Shouted Hinana and closed the door.

Aoyama only laughed at Hinana's behavior.

"You really grew up well." Aoyama muttered then left Hinana's room.

Aoyama's goal is to meet her Aunt Larisa, Hinana's mother. But her steps stopped when she saw Hinana who was busy choosing clothes. Aoyama also sees Ren busy choosing clothes, so Aoyama guesses if the two of them will date.

Finally Hinana wore a blue midi dress that she had once bought but had never worn at all. Hinana will invite Ren to go to Sumida to see the penguins and visit the season.

"Hinine... " Call Ren when you see Hinana standing next to the bridge.

Hinana smiled then approached Ren as well as Ren.

"Where to go?" Asked Ren who was a little awkward. For some reason after expressing his feelings for Hinana he was even very awkward when close to Hinana.

"Seeing penguins." Answer Hinana.

"It looks like fun, all right come on." Ren receives Hinana's answer and takes Hinana to her place.

"Wait a minute, there's something behind your hair." Ren approached Hinana and noticed that something was tucked in Hinana's hair. Ren took it turns out Hinana's clothes are still new and the brand has not been released.

"Give it to me." Hinana was embarrassed and immediately snatched the paper from Ren. He covered his face with his bag and then ran into the aquarium.

"Hinana wait." Shouted Ren and walked quickly following Hinana.

Large aquariums have different types of marine life. Ren invites Hinana to take pictures and feed the penguins while outside the aquarium.

"They're very funny" Hinana said happily while feeding the penguins.

"It's true."

"I'm not gonna wear this anymore."

"Eh why? You mad? " ask Hinana still while laughing at Ren. As Ren pursed his lips to Hinana Ren like a child.

They end up going to the museum and continue their journey to the park.

"The cherry blossoms are over." Ren pointed towards the cherry blossom tree that only grew its leaves.

Hinana suddenly recalled that she once asked Ren to look at the cherry blossoms before telling Ren to go back to the hospital.

"Did Ren like cherry blossoms? " ask Ren for a moment.

"Hum, they're pink." Ren replied and smiled at Hinana.

Slowly Ren approached Hinana, seeing her lover's grim face he knew that there was something Hinana was thinking.

"Hinana Chan doesn't like cherry blossoms." Ask Ren.

"Not really, I like snowflowers better than sakura. My winter was over then " said Hinana hanging.

I don't know why he still can't forget the bitter memories of last year. He should be happy because he is with the person he loves.

"Hinana Chan close your eyes."

Hinana is shocked when Ren tells her to close her eyes, whether Ren will

kissed her.

No...! I'm not ready for that.

"U-for what? "asked Hinana nervously.

"Just close your eyes" Reb once again said.

Hinana hesitantly tries to obey what Ren says. His heart was beating so fast, he tried to prepare himself. However, this atmosphere felt awkward for Hinana.

"I'll erase Hinana chan's bad memories." Ren ruffled Hinana's hair slowly.

"From today, all Hinana remembers is a beautiful memory of spring" Ren said.

"Ehhh." Slowly Hinana opened her eyes and saw the man she loved already smiling at her.

"Hinana chan, spring innocent. So don't hate him." Ren held Hinama's cheek and smiled at her.

"Let's go home, it's almost night." Take Ren and walk ahead of Hinana.

Hinana was still silent in place, she covered her face. When Ren tells her to close her eyes, Hinana thinks Ren will kiss her. And reality does not, it makes Hinana embarrassed and feel naive to herself.

Hinana went to follow Ren's footsteps. The day has changed the night, the silhouette of the color of the sun feels beautiful in this city. Actually Hinana wants to join hands with Ren, but that is only Hinana's desire. Ren walking beside her alone had already made Hinana happy.

"Ehh... " Hinana was surprised when Ren suddenly grabbed her hand and held her. Is this movement very predictable.

"Let's walk hand in hand." said Ren and Hinana nodded with a happy smile. Only this time did Hinana feel her heart blossom even if it was just hand in hand.

"Hinana Chan, just tell me if you want something." Ren's voice sounded soft in Hinana's ear.

"I honestly feel nervous.... "

"It's okay, I'll be at your audition. Arumi too, Emi too and Aoyama, we will all support Hinana. Fight." Ren gives his spirit to Hinana. Actually that's not what Hinana wanted to say.

Hinana feels nervous while with Ren for now, long before the time when they haven't dated.

"Come in." said Ren telling Hinana to go into his house.

"It looks like I'm on time." Aoyama's voice sounded suddenly and was already at the edge of the gate.
