Snow In December
1

Monday afternoon Hinana had finished her work, her friends invited her to eat together but Hinana refused. In the parking lot he was waiting for someone.

" master Director, I have something to say." Hinana immediately approached him when the person she was waiting for finally came as well.

"what's up.?"

"i'm sorry at the time, when the train was in trouble and at the station as well. I shouldn't vent my anger on others. So I'm really sorry." said Hinana with a bow because I'm really sorry. If he knew that the man was his superior, he would probably be a little more polite.

It didn't take long for Ren to laugh out loud at Hinana's apology.

"Heh, is there anything funny" asked Hinana

"no, no. I didn't expect you to still be biting me, when it happened a month ago."

"Eh that's how it is," Hinana scratched her non-itchy head, she didn't expect that her apology would be laughed at. Hinana thought as the Director looked at her sharply because of the incident on the train and was about to fire her.

"sorry I think you're funny. What's your name I forgot?"

"Hinana Arizawa."

"Hinana, it's good to be working with you. Oh yeah I'll have dinner with my friends, will you come?"

"Eh, sorry I can't. I have to get home soon."

"you got a car?"

"no, I'll take a cab."

"then I'll just take you home." Ren offered me a ride. Because Ren considers all employees are friends when they are not working.

"not necessary, !!! Sorry I mean I can go home by myself. See you, sir." Hinana tries to reject Ren's invitation because he decides not to be friends with anyone, especially men.

Ren Koizumi is a chief director at a clothing design company. Although he became a Director but his nature and appearance impressed relaxed. Her personality is 180 degrees different from Hinana's.

Hinana had reached home and noticed that there was a package on the table.

"i'm home."

"welcome, did you order more Hinana's clothes." cried Miyo-san in the kitchen when she found out that Hinana was home.

"em.."

"you came here with your nice clothes, why did you tell Keiko?" Miyo-san approaches Hinana.

"i'm bored, besides my work, which now I'm better suited to my current outfit" replied Hinana casually and took out one by one his order.

"are you okay, giving up your old job?"

"em." nods Hinana after a long time of thought.

Being a model was her dream as a child, but when all that happened Hinana lost all her dreams.

"you may be tired, take a break and Aunt will make dinner."

"alright" said Hinana and took her order to the room.

Hinana is still sleeping one room with Keiko because Keiko herself asked for it. Her mother had rented an apartment for Hinana but since she was not comfortable refusing her Aunt's invitation, maybe after a few months she would move out.

"Onii-san, you're buying clothes again."

"em." um."

"may I see, Onii can you not buy anything other than black?" Keiko who from the spirit became weak because she knew that her sister often wears dark clothes lately.

"i also bought a gray color" he replied casually

"Onii all your clothes are so nice, why don't you wear them again."

"his clothes are old, I gave them to you anyway."

"mother forbade me to wear it."

"why?"

"if I wear it and you see it Onii-san will be sad."

"it's up to you, Keiko." said Hinana calmly even though she was thinking about Keiko's words.

In the evening Hinana, Keiko and her aunt had dinner together.

"Hinana, why are you being so quiet now. You used to always tell me about what happened at your school. Even if your days at school are fun or not, you always talk excitedly" Miyo-san said as she began to worry about her niece.

"it was a long time ago, now there's nothing interesting to tell."

"it's just that Aunt misses the old Hinana."

"what's wrong with Onii-san. I thought when he got here it would be fun"

"Hinana is in bad shape. Keiko will you keep her company, I feel sorry for her. Ever since her ex-boyfriend canceled the wedding, Hinana lost her identity she never laughed or cried that day."

"mom ready, I can count on."

"thank you very good mother's daughter." praise Miyo-san for her son Keiko.

As usual, Keiko helped her mother clean up the leftovers after dinner.

Keiko often lives alone with her mother because of her father who works out of town and comes home only once every six months. Hinana's arrival actually makes Keiko happy because she has friends, but that hope disappears when Keiko knows Hinana's situation is very bad.

"good morning." Ren said to co-workers

"good morning." reply Tsubaki and Arumi

"Mr Ren here's this month's marketing, please take a look." Tsubaki submitted a report to Ren.

"Ah thank goodness many requests, thank you Tsubaki good work."

"all this is thanks to our new employees."

"who?"

"Miss Hinana, all her hard work deserves to be appreciated." Tsubaki glances to Hinana. While Hinana is still focused on her computer.

"of course, get back to work."

Although Hinana was initially forced to work but over time she started to like it.

Hinana used to be a model but not too familiar with fashion, what she uses all for the benefit of sponsors.

"Hinana, let's have lunch together." Emi invites to go out because it is already a break.

"sorry but I've brought provisions."

"eehhh you always have been."

"My aunt has worked hard to make it."

"yes, you are indeed a filial son of Hinana."

"we're having lunch together, it doesn't matter if you bring your lunch." Tsubaki approaches Hinana and Emi.

"yes, come on Hinana." Emi pulls Hinana's hand

While Hinana tried to reject it subtly.

"sorry Emi. But.."

"yes it's okay Hinana, tomorrow I'll bring supplies too and we'll eat together. Oh, bye Hinana."

"Come on Tsubaki I'm so hungry." Emi invites Tsubaki to get out and Tsubaki follows her.

Hinana opened her lunch, she had often refused the invitation of her friends since the first day of work.

Hinana is still difficult to make friends because her own good friends betray her.

"Hinana you also brought provisions, let's have lunch together." Arumi walked towards Hinana with her provisions.

"Sorry Arumi but I have to get out." Hinana then leaves Arumi and her friend Rena.

"well, Hinana."

"i thought Hinana was a fun person, but she wasn't."

"keep your word Arumi." Rena tried to remind Arumi because Hinana was still not far from them.

Hinana heard the words of two of her friends but she seemed to no longer care. Hinana immediately left with her lunch.
