Snow In December
17

Tsubaki came out of the doctor's room and bowed limp, she couldn't believe what was happening.

Shota runs towards Tsubaki while her father meets Ren.

"do you know the disease?" shota said with hasty breath. Tsubaki did not answer and handed over a map of the examination.

"Hide from everyone especially Hinana. After this Ren will move to the hospital, and I'll make sure no one knows. You keep your mouth shut and you don't know anything." Shota took the map and walked towards Ren's room. Tsubaki followed him.

Ren's father came in and hugged Ren, Hinana immediately pulled over and lowered her head.

"sorry has made you anxious" Ren said. It didn't take long for Shota and Tsubaki to arrive.

"thank God you're awake." his father took off his arms. Ren sees Shota and Tsubaki but his gaze is fixed on the downcast Tsubaki.

"thank you Tsubaki."

"no problem, I have to get to the office. Get well Ren, come on Hinana." Tsubaki invites Hinana to go home.

"i'm back, get well soon Ren." Hinana says goodbye and then goes out to follow Tsubaki.

Hinana follows Tsubaki from behind, thinking Tsubaki will take a taxi to the office. Hinana follows Tsubaki as her car is at a cake ingredients store near Ren's office.

"what's Ren's pain?" ask Hinana.

"he's just tired."

"so severe is the fatigue disease, I used to also and had time to ignore because of Typus."

"just like Ren" Tsubaki said briefly.

"Tsubaki are you okay?" Hinana saw something different from Hinana.

"i'm fine, if you're tired get on the bus because I forgot to bring an access card."

"no problem. Tsubaki, what's Ren like?"

"why are you asking me?"

"just curious. Though I was mean to her many times, but Ren was always good to me."

"Hinana there's something I have to tell you. You don't.." said Tsubaki stopped because he saw Hinana's face, actually Hinana is also a good person just sometimes Ren's good deeds out of control.

"don't what?"

"don't be angry." Tsubaki actually wants to say don't hurt Ren. But Hinana is also innocent of all Shota's charges.

"i wouldn't be angry if I wasn't disturbed."

"does Ren bother you? I think Ren is a good guy, he was actually quiet in High School. It's just that he's started to change since college."

"you're right, Ren is very good." Hinana's phone rang, Keiko called her.

"yes Keiko what's wrong?"

"you've been a long time, I've been hungry. We'll buy cake for too long to make."

"yes I'm sorry, I'll be home soon." Hinana shut her phone.

Tsubaki from earlier noticed Hinana, and saw a photo of Hinana on the main screen.

"attractions." Tsubaki gets curious and picks up Hinana's phone.

"what are you doing, give me back my phone."

"you're dating Ren?"

"of course not, give Tsubaki back.." Hinana begged and felt ashamed of Tsubaki. Actually, the one who replaced the main screen of Hinana's phone was Ren.

"then do you like Ren?" tsubaki's question made Hinana intimidated.

"no, it's just that Ren made me open up. But I'm just friends with her, I'm not lying" Hinana replied hesitantly, because only this time Hinana could tell someone other than Ren.

"then be friends with me too. One two. CRICKET." Tsubaki took a photo with Hinana. Although the results were not good, Tsubaki was satisfied and returned Hinana's phone.

"thank you."

"Hinana's good friends with Ren, I'm sure Ren won't hurt you. Go home someone's worried about you." Tsubaki waved and walked into his office.

While Hinana also stepped foot into the cake shop.

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

Hinana wakes up at exactly 9 am, because there is no work to make her lazy.

Today Hinana is excited to make cake, Hinana has never made it for a long time.

The black forest cake with strawberry and banana tops makes for a very sweet look, as well as Ren's birthday wishful writing that becomes a decoration.

TING TONG'S

The apartment bell rang, Hinana who finished washing her face then opened the door.

"HAH, Mr. Jouji, why did he get here." cried Hinana while looking at the LCD monitor.

Hinana immediately tidied her hair, and wore her black coat.

"hello, there's something I can help you with" Hinana asked as she opened the door.

"right with myself. What's up?"

"can we talk for a second?"

"alright, come in." Hinana let her inside, and made a cup of macha for Jouji.

"sorry if I'm disturbing, Hinana have you got a job. Frankly, I apologize for the actions of my two sons, and I'm less professional with his work."

"i've forgiven them."

"Miss Hinana will you return to the company? And fix the misunderstanding between us?"

"sorry but I can't. I have a problem with the psychic, which I fear if I get angry Ren and Shota get hit. I'm really sorry." Hinana bowed her body and confessed her actions.

"i've heard everything. Miss Hinana you don't have to worry about Shota and Ren not taking care of the company. I'll lead him myself, so come back."

"Eh, really? But why?"

"the condition of the company is not good, if you come back then I will tell you. You don't have to answer right now, call me if you make the right decision." Jouji gave his card and said goodbye.

Hinana was still looking at Mr. Jouji's business card, the feeling of worry was still there. Actually Hinana can not find a new job other than in the entertainment world because it only graduated from High School.

Getting a direct offer from Mr. Jouji is actually a good thing, but Hinana is afraid to meet her friend first.

Hinana decides to call Tsubaki, as only Ren and Tsubaki are currently friends.

"yes hello, Hinana, what's wrong with you all of a sudden?" answer Tsubaki.

"are you busy?"

"yes, my deadline is still a lot today. Is there something Hinana?"

"no, I'm just asking. By Tsubaki." Hinana closes her call, actually Hinana wants to ask Tsubaki's opinion. But since Tsubaki is busy finally undoes her intentions.

Shortly after Ren calls her, Hinana is surprised to have just contacted him.

"hello, what's wrong?"

"Hinana are you busy?" ask Ren.

"no."

"can we meet?."

"are you healed? How are you doing?"

"i'm better."

"all right, I'm going to the hospital now."

"Hinana can we meet at the Bistro?"

"why indeed? You're home yet?"

"hem I just got home this morning, I'll send you the location."

"yes I'll get ready. See you soon."

"me see you."

Hinana immediately changed clothes and headed for her location, apparently not far from her apartment. Do not forget Hinana immediately packing artificial cake, and gift watches for Ren.

The air was so cold, Hinana was still thinking about Ren's state is it alright?.

"did you wait for me long?" hinana asked directly to Ren.

"i've been here since, would you like a warm drink?"

"camomaile tea."

"alright." Ren immediately told the waiter his order.

"i want to tell you something too."

"let's say it."

"happy birthday, I don't know the date but you said December." Hinana gives cake and presents to Ren.

"WOw kawai's.. It looks so sweet. Thank you, Hinana." Rem smiled happily as he opened the cake that Hinana gave him.

"do you like it?"

"hem, just this time I got a cake. You made it yourself?"

"of course, if you're hungry eat" Hinana said with a smile.

Ren ordered a small plate, a spoon and a knife to the waiter.

"first cut for a special person, Hinana." Ren cuts the cake and gives it to Hinana.

"thank you Ren. It feels right you'd like it." said Hinana by eating a mouthful.

"really, I'll spend it. Thanks again, Hinana."
