"Ohayou (good morning). How are you ready?" Aoyama asked who went straight into Ren's room when she saw that Kishi was already there.

"Of course, I've also rested quite a bit." Ren replied and smiled happily.

"All right, let's go now. Hinana's in the parking lot." Take Aoyama and take her friend out of her room. Kishi followed from behind, he had also checked what items he had to carry.

Arriving at the parking lot, Aoyama tells Ren to enter first. Aoyama and Kishi put medical supplies in their luggage.

"Ohayou, Ren (good morning). Did you sleep well?" With a sweet smile Hinana welcomes Ren who just got into the car.

"Good morning.Of course, Hinana I want to ordain today with you. Don't you mind?" Answer Ren.

"Of course not. Let's have fun today." Hinana then hugged Ren. Hinana understands that her boyfriend can smile happily because he can get out of the hospital.

"How long ago did Aoyama and Kishi san." Hinana muttered as she waited for her two unfinished friends to check the goods.

"So, something might happen. Let me check for a minute." Ren opens the car door and is about to get out but Hinana prevents him.

"Let me. Ren kun stays here because the air outside is getting cold." Hinana and Ren said to her lover.

"Why is it so long?" Hinana asked and only saw Aoyama.

"I was thinking of bringing a stomach warmer and Kishi san was taking it." Aoyama answered and closed the medical bag.

Soon after, Kishi came running, carrying a warm stomach compress and a warm blanket just in case.

"Eh, how many will be brought?" Pekik Hinana by looking at the luggage Kishi felt quite a lot. Not for one day, just until the afternoon.

"You know how else, Hinana Ren's condition is not what it used to be. If the cold air will definitely affect his condition." Answer Kishi and put him in the trunk of the car.

"Look, how happy Ren's smile is today. I hope that smile won't fade away again." Said Kishi who saw Ren talking to the phone in the car.

"Hum, ever since Seto sensei let Ren out of the hospital. I also often see him smile like that." Aoyama Sahut.

"I hope Ren will keep smiling until the end of the day. Isn't that Hinana? That's why I don't want any obstructions for today."

Kishi still looked at Ren with a haru look. While Hinana seemed to forget if indeed the time that Ren had was not much.

"Hinana, are you okay?" Aoyama asked because she saw her best friend who was silent.

"Hum, I forgot that my time with Ren is no longer. Thank you all for reminding me." Hinana said with a sad feeling. If only Aoyama and Kishi san had not discussed Ren's condition, Hinana would have really thought Ren would be with him for a long time.

"Sorry Hinana I didn't mean to make you sad." Kishi's face immediately panicked, he shouldn't have told Hinana. Considering Hinana is Ren's lover, surely Hinana is the first to be sad if Ren leaves.

"Why are you guys so long." Ren suddenly gets out of the car, leaving Kishi shocked.

"There were some items left behind, so Kishi san had to pick them up first. But it's over, let's go." Aoyama answered Ren.

Ren noticed that there were blankets and some large medical bags in the trunk that had not been closed. Then he closed it, but Ren saw Hinana's slightly moody face. Maybe at this time Hinana is worried about her situation.

"All right, let's go. I got word from Tsubaki that he's coming here at the autumn festival." Said Ren to make his lover cheerful again. But Hinana still looks moody and Ren also has no idea what really happened to her.

"Hinana, this winter I do fall asleep a lot. So don't worry about that. You could say I'm hibernating."

Say Ren again and hold Hinana's cheek.

"Hibernation?" Hinana repeats Ren's words.

"Yes, you know what that means. A long sleep." Ren half grimaced when he saw the face of his lover who seemed to be confused.

"Ren kun is not a bear."

"Ehhh really. But I'm getting fatter, and it's funnier if you call a bear than a gamoy." Screeched Ren and shortly afterwards Hinana laughed.

"Well let's go, let me drive." Take Aoyama.

"Wakatta." Hinana replies and throws her car keys at Aoyama.

It takes about twenty minutes to get to Kuriyama. In the car, Ren takes many pictures and records the scenery along the way.

"Aoyama kun, are the chrysanthemums still in bloom in winter?" Asked Ren who was still seriously taking pictures with Hinana.

"Of course, chrysanthemums always bloom in winter." Aoyama answered while driving.

"You know, when Uncle Aoi came to see me we were both talking about chrysanthemums. He said the yellow color makes him very happy." Ren tells the story of his father Hinana who was visiting the hospital at that time.

"My dad?" Ask Hinana in surprise.

"really. Uncle went to the hospital a week ago after Kuriyama." Sahut Aoyama answered Hinana's question.

"I don't like it when my dad's always at funerals anymore." Hinana is upset.

"Why? Didn't your father visit his twin brother?" Ask Ren back.

"That's true. But my father still thinks that Tanaka's uncle's death was because of it. Although my mother repeatedly assured me that her death was due to an accident. My father always regretted his life." Hinana replied, she also felt annoyed because her uncle named Kohei always reminded her of the death to her father.

"Hinana maybe your father always went to visit her because he shared his story with his brother. Uncle Aoi also told me that during his youth he was lonely, uncle always invited his brother to tell stories in the hospital even though his brother was in a coma. Until I finally met your mother." Say Ren and hold Hinana's hand.

"Why don't you ever tell me that." Hinana murmured to herself.

"Hinana Chan, try talking to your father for longer. Then you'll understand each other." Ren rubbed Hinana's head gently to make her calm down.

'You know Ren, I don't really like chrysanthemums. Because the flowers are a favorite of Tanaka's uncle and my father always bring it on his birthday. When I asked him why he always took him, my father said he should be Tanaka's uncle. My father said with red eyes after crying. Therefore I always hated my father when I came to see Tanaka's uncle.' Inner Hinana.

"Look, the vast expanse of yellow chrysanthemum flowers is already beginning to be seen." Kishi exclaimed and pointed towards the front.

"Wah sugoine's.... " Ren was very amazed when he saw along the road like a sea of kuninh because it was filled with chrysanthemums.

"We've arrived, just looking for a parking space." Said Aoyama who was still driving his car.

Soon the four of them got out of the car and walked across the vast expanse of chrysanthemums like a savannah.

"I want to take a picture here." Ren immediately pulled out his camera and took Hinana. He also invited Kishi several times to take pictures.

"Let's take a photo together, Aoyama." Ren invited Aoyama who was still standing still.

"Hum all right." Aoyama replied nodding and following Ren's invitation.

They all stood up to take a pose to take a picture, with a very beautiful expanse of chrysanthemum flowers making her picture look dazzling.

"If Shota had been here, it might have looked cooler." Ren muttered to himself.

"Mir...."

"It's okay. Shota contacted me a few days ago. I'm so happy." Ren said to Hinana and gave a smile.

"You met Shota?" Ask Hinana.

"Not yet,"

"You can all wait for me here for a second. I'll be gone won't be long." Aoyama suddenly approaches Ren and Hinana, who have brought a bunch of lilies to Sakura's funeral.

"What's next to the cemetery is the temple, I've been there before." Ren asked with sparkling eyes.

"Gum." Aoyama nodded.

"I want to go there. Monks there are very friendly, usually will distribute the roasted yam to visitors." Ren said enthusiastically. When he was a child, he went there with his family. At that time his father took Ren.

"It's on a hill, and you can probably walk there." Answer Aoyama.

"Hey Aoyama is there no other way to get there without walking?" Ask her best friend.

"It could be if you could fly." Aoyama answered Hinana's question with origin. Because the only road to the hill only runs because the small path can not be passed by any vehicle.
