Snow In December

Ren rushed to the office to convey an apology to all of his staff. After that back home again, all the work in the office he left to his brother Shota.

"Ren, is there any time this afternoon?" Emi ran over to Ren.

"what's wrong?"

"maybe I'm going to visit Hinana, but I don't know who to invite. Tsubaki and Arumi are not in the office."

"no need, Hinana definitely doesn't like it. I'll go Emi." Ren says goodbye to Emi and leaves.

At the hospital Keiko and Miyo come to take care of Hinana.

"Onii-san how are you doing."

"as you see."

"let me bring you a lot of fruit, will you have an apple?" Keiko with attention took care of her brother.

"i'll get it for me." replied Hinana with a smile.

Ren was at the door of Hinana's room, seeing Hinana who was smiling again he felt relieved. But Ren doesn't want to see Hinana, maybe only with his family can Hinana be happy.

"how about you eat banana first, while waiting for me to peel the apple."

"good give it to me." Hinana ate the banana that Keiko got. He recalled fighting over bananas with Ren, without realizing that Hinana was thinking of Ren.

"oh yes Hinana where are your friends? Once Auntie gets a call from Ren if you're sick, she says not to worry because there are two friends who take care of you until tomorrow morning." asked Miyo-san.

"they've come home, probably tired" answered Hinana lying, even though she threw him out.

"thank God if you've opened yourself up again, Hinana, it seems like they're good people. Hinana Aunty should go home first, because your uncle will be home later tonight."

"yes, don't worry about me. Daah" said Hinan and waved at Miyo-san.

"finish, this eat."

"thank you, Keiko, are you okay with Naomi?"

"i didn't fight with him."

"uh, then who was the friend you told me about back then."

"Oh about that, Hinana-san I decided to choose friendship. Although it would hurt me but Naomi is more valuable than my girlfriend." Keiko said with a smile.

Hinana felt inferior because of Keiko's mature attitude. If only Hinana could like that choose a friend and leave her lover. But it doesn't seem, because Hinana's own best friend betrayed her.

"what about you Onii-san?"

"what is what? I'm not the same as you."

"that's not what you mean, what about Ren's brother? I think he likes you." Keiko tried to tease her brother, because she had not been able to joke with Hinana for a long time.

"The ren was just a bully, it had nothing to do with me."

"but Ren's brother is very handsome."

"yes I admit you're right, but it sucks" said Hinana by eating her apples.

After joking with Keiko for quite a while, Hinana felt drowsy probably due to the effects of the medicine. Hinana falls asleep with Keiko.

"Oni-san, Onii-san...." Keiko wakes up Hinana who is still asleep.

"Onii I'm sorry I have to go home now, because my father had an accident on his way home. Are you okay if I live alone?" keiko Saa said she saw Hinana beginning to wake up.

"Hem, go I'm fine."

"sorry Onii I have to leave you, I promise it won't be long." Keiko immediately came out of the room, while Hinana started to sleep again.

Keiko walks out of the hospital, but she doesn't have the heart to leave Hinana alone. Keiko decided to call Ren.

"hello, Brother Ren are you busy today?"

"what's wrong?"

"actually I asked for your help to guard Brother Hinana. My dad had an accident in Sapporo."

"i'll be there, you go it's okay."

"thank God, thank you, Ren. I can calmly leave Brother Hinana."

"hem, say hello to your father and mother."

"of course, by Ren's brother." Keiko ended her call and immediately ordered a taxi.

After an hour Hinana finally woke up, she felt a little thirsty. Hinana tried to take the water on the table, but her hand felt very sick when it was not.

PYARR.

Finally he dropped his glass.

"are you okay, miss?" ask a doctor who happened to pass by.

"my hand hurt so much, but it didn't feel this morning." cried Hinana who was in pain.

"let me check for a while" the doctor then opened Hinana's bandage and began to examine her wound.

"who's the doctor treating you?"

"doctor Takamiya."

It didn't take long for Takamiya's doctor to arrive, then they spoke and it looked like it was serious.

"Hinine." Call Ren when he enters Hinana's room. Ren saw two doctors talking seriously, while Hinana looked in pain.

"you why Hinana?"

"my hand hurts a lot."

"let me call the doctor, they're ahead."

"no, the doctor came to check. Ren can get me some water, I'm so thirsty." Hinana asks Ren for help timidly, because Hinana has always been independent.

"alright, I'll buy it out." Ren saw a glass on the floor. He rushed to the lobby to buy a drink.

It didn't take long for Ren to return, but Ren saw Hinana being taken away by some nurses.

"Ren, I'm going to have surgery" Hinana said as she saw Ren, then immediately the nurse took her away.

"sorry sir are you his family?" ask the young doctor.

"i'm a friend, his family just got home."

"Oh yeah I'm not very polite, I'm Aoyama surgeon."

"are you the new doctor here?"

"yes I just moved from Osaka, sorry how do you know I'm new?"

"i'm just guessing, how long the operation took."

"about an hour, you're fine. Your face is so pale are you sick?"

"just a little dizzy" replied Ren then sitting on the bedroom bed.

"all right sir can rest first, I'll go."

"Doctor Aoyama, can you give this to Hinana? He said it was thirsty." Ren gave me a bottle of water.

"Of course, I'm sorry." Aoyama took the water and left.

Ren then turned to sit on the sofa and closed his eyes. Actually when Keiko called her Ren was sick, but Ren did not have the heart with Hinana.

Nearly two hours later, Ren fell asleep on the couch, unaware that Hinana was already in the room and conscious.

"how are you, miss?" ask Doctor Aoyama.

"i'm a little dizzy, probably because of the effect of the drug."

"sorry are you Hinana the daughter of Mr. Arizawa?"

"hem yes."

"i thought, I'm Aoyama don't you remember me?"

"well." replied Hinana because she wanted to forget her bad past.

"you've forgotten, we were in class when Junior High you don't remember? We were also a baseball club back then."

"Aoyama...?"

"do you really remember? I didn't expect to meet here."

"are you a doctor now?"

"hem, what about you?" Aoyama asks and accidentally wakes Ren up.

"Hinine."

"have you woken up, Ren?" ask Hinana.

"sorry I fell asleep. How are you doing?"

"i'm still weak."

"you're so pale, will I check your pain?" Aoyama disbelieves Ren for not seeing Ren's skin turning pale.

"no need, I've been taking medication. Just need a break." Ren rejects Aoyama.

"are you sick? Go home and rest." Hinana is not surprised because Ren always cares about her, even though Ren himself is sick.

"hem, I'll be home after this." Ren smiled as he felt Hinana care about him.

"are you Ren Koizumi?" ask Aoyama.

"yes I'm Ren Koizumi."

"right, we used to be a High School. You were a baseball exkul."

"really, but I don't recognize you."

"i'm Aoyama Takahasi from class 3-D. If it's not your fault you're Shota's sister."

"you're Shota's classmate apparently. Greetings." said Ren.

"it's good to know you, if there's any time can we meet each other?" ask Aoyama to Ren.

"of course."
