Snow In December
14

Shota opens the door and finds Hinana crying, the snow is falling and Hinana is wearing a coat with Ren.

Shota approaches Hinana with an umbrella, just as Shota first meets Hinana.

"sorry." said Shota lirih, he did not expect if his actions had hurt others.

"come home Hinana, you can come back if you're completely healed." Shota left the umbrella for Hinana, while Hinana was still crying not responding to Shota at all.

(flash back)

The first time Shota saw Hinana at the bus stop and was playing in the snow, Shota saw Hinana's smile.

"beautiful." shota said as she watched Hinana play in the snow.

Shota decides to get out of the car and gives an umbrella to Hinana.

"thank you" said Hinana and Shota smiled.

Shota stared at Hinana's face for a very long time in order to be able to recall the moment she met.

He deliberately gave her his umbrella so that one day he could meet again.

In Paris there is a saying when you meet someone when the first snow falls, we will meet the next day. And Shota believes that.

(back to time)

"Ren you're fine." asked Tsubaki and walked up to Ren who had just walked out of his room.

"hem, I'll be back."

"let me take you. Come on."

"no need. I can go back alone."

"but Ren you're not very well." Emi said.

"you just take Hinana home, the wound is very bruised" Ren told Tsubaki and Tsubaki drove Ren to a taxi.

"be careful, let me know when you arrive" Tsubaki said. Ren didn't say anything, he looked up at the roof.

"you don't have to worry, I'll take care of him for you." Tsubaki understands Ren's feelings.

"thank you."

Hinana returns home with Arumi, her body very wet from being in the snow for too long.

"Hinana are you so wet what's the matter?" asked Miyo who was very worried.

"my aunt Arumi is Hinana's friend. Let Hinana rest."

"yes you're right. Keiko, Keiko."

"iya ma'am." it didn't take long for Keiko to come immediately after hearing her mother's call.

"help Hinana change her clothes" said Miyo then invite Arumi to sit together.

Hinana with shaky steps walked towards her room, her thoughts were chaotic and her heart was deeply broken.

Hinana still remembered Shota's words and the look in her eyes.

"AARGH..." Hinana yelled and slammed her photo with Yukiatsu.

"sister Hinana, calm down." said Keiko and hugged Hinana. Keiko was behind Hinana and saw Hinana taking a picture in her suitcase.

"you son of a bitch Yukiatsu this is all your fault." cursed Hinana and kicked her broken picture.

Hinana feels disappointed in him, because of the heartbreak he became a monster and hurt innocent people.

While Keiko also cried to see Hinana's condition.

Keiko knew that every night Hinana still saw a photo of her engagement to Yukiatsu, but Hinana never said anything.

"nothing happened to him." asked Arumi carefully as she heard Hinana's screams.

"let's. Hinana finally let out her emotions. Thank you for being friends with her." replied Miyo.

"uh, you don't have to thank me."

"Hinana always harbored all her sadness during this time, I felt relieved when I saw that I could cry, smile and laugh again" said Miyo.

Arumi also agrees with Aunt Miyo, because Hinana has never shown what she feels.

*******************

"what's this?" shota asked as she saw Hinana putting a brown envelope on her desk.

Hinana tidied up her things and put them in the cardboard.

"wouldn't there be any more consideration for Hinana?" ask Arumi and help Hinana.

"i've decided, and this is for the best."

"Hinana.." said Arumi who whined.

"there will be a better replacement than me. But I'm grateful to you. Thank you for understanding me."

"promise us to be friends and contact each other." Arumi showed her little finger.

"sorry, I'm leaving now. Goodbye." Hinana brought the cardboard, despite the distress with one hand, but Hinana did not want to be helped.

While Shota felt his head would break, Hinana out of course the cooperation with Brand Comme des Garcons would fall apart.

"Shota." call Arumi when you meet in the lobby.

"what's wrong?"

"i heard it, you were wrong but you made it look guilty."

"i don't understand what you're saying." Shota continued walking towards the cafe.

"you're blocking them for the Tokyo Summer festival, you think I don't know?" Arumi approached Shota who stopped back.

"it's none of your business, go Arumi don't bother me."

"that's my business, because you ruined my dream, too. You don't know how happy I was when Ren took me. Tokyo Summer is my dream, even though I don't expect to win but that's my goal."

"if that's your dream, don't take Ren."

"it was precisely Ren who invited me." shouted Arumi with a slight cry.

"did you never have hope? How would you feel if your hopes were crushed by someone you love? You don't know how many works Ren has, what does Ren want? Ren wants at least one of his works on the market, even if only briefly." Arumi leaves Shota after being content to say what is tight on her chest.

"dream? I had many dreams but had to end them." - Shota when Arumi left her.

Miss Sawako's upcoming meeting is coming to Ren's office, and the project will be handed over to Emi.

But things are not going well, Miss Sawako is not satisfied with the results. Because when working with Hinana designya themed black and white.

"it is with a heavy heart that my deputy brand director Comme des Garcons has resigned from this project, thank you for your cooperation." Sawako said during the meeting.

"Miss Sawako, wait a minute." Shota chases Sawako out.

"what's wrong?"

"can you reconsider?"

"actually already, while working with Miss Emi I felt that there was not a single thought. The ideas I expected were not conveyed."

"yes I know, because Miss Emi just teamed up with you."

" I know Shota, but half of our design is already on demand. Sorry once again Shota." Sawako leaves Shota.

Shota held onto his head, everything had gone awry.

"hello, what's the matter" replied Shota as her phone rang.

"come to the hospital, oh yes Shota, bring the company documents."

"all right, father." replied Shota and ended his call.

Shota quickly drove his car to the hospital.

Hinana walks towards her apartment, this time she decides to stay alone. But her unbearable aunt finally tells Keiko to stay with Hinana.

"i've finished tidying up." said Keiko with his spirit.

"thank you, Keiko are you serious about staying here?"

" of course, I'm going to study in Sapporo and it's going to be very close from here. Does Onii-san mind?"

" of course not."

"just relax I won't bother you, after this what are you going to do?"

"somehow, maybe find a job."

" well I'll help you." Keiko replied with a smile.
