Snow In December
21

Hinana's alarm went off, lazily Hinana grabbed her hand and delayed a few more minutes.

"Hinana-san wake up." cried Keiko who headed for her room.

"ten minutes away" said Hinana pulling her blanket over her head.

"you're a bitch to Hinana, today I take my university entrance exam. Can't you give me any attention."

"Ganbatte yo." Hinana was just encouraging her sister and sleeping again.

"sucks. All right, I'll go first, get home from work, get me some sashimi. Oh, bye Hinana."

After Keiko came out Hinana finally decided to wake up, actually Hinana was very lazy to the office.

"Hah Ren." screeched when he saw the phone there was a chat from Ren.

"are you busy Hinana? I want banana can you bring it?"

"i'm so busy, buy it for yourself." replied Hinana with her smile on her back.

Either Hinana's mood changes immediately after getting a message from Ren. It didn't take long for Hinana to get ready for work.

"good morning." said Hinana.

"good morning Hinana. You're so cheerful today, what's it about winning Miss Sawako's heart?" ask Tsubaki.

"maybe, well, good job."

"Hinana, I've finished everything." Emi provides all admin files and Client parties that have disbursed funds.

"thank you, Emi."

"you are the best."

"no. All because of you, if this cooperation is a great success all because of your hard work. Thank you all." Hinana bowed as a sign of gratitude.

From the ignorance of Mr. Jouji saw the treatment of Hinana, although all because of Hinana but Hinana felt everything because of the teamwork.

"are you going to lunch?" ask Hinana when lunch time comes.

"of course. What's up?" reply Arumi.

"may I come?"

"of course, I'm very happy. Come on Hinana." Arumi immediately pulled Hinana's hand and invited her.

The atmosphere on the road is very crowded because of the new year. Not a few tourists and locals who visit Hokkaido.

"Where are you going for the new year holiday?" ask Emi.

"well, maybe not anywhere."

"usually Shota makes a show for the new year."

"really? But I'm not interested."

"yes I know you don't like that kind of thing, but if it's Mr Jouji who's asking, do you dare to refuse?"

"of course not, I was forced to come." replied Hinana with a slight laugh.

"Hinana I'm still curious, what spell are you making so that Miss Sawako can work together again?"

" Amaterasu." said Hinana with both hands.

"you can joke too. Let's get back to work soon." Emi laughed loudly at Hinana's behavior.

"i have to go to the minimarket for a while, you go back to Emi."

"alright, Daah Hinana." Emi waved her hand.

Hinana goes to Yamato mart and chooses a nice banana. After work he wants to see Ren at the hospital.

"are you home?" Hinana wrote a message to Ren.

"no I'm still in the hospital, what's wrong?"

"just ask."

"oh yeah I heard the Comme des Garcons working together again to back you up, thank you Hinana."

"all because of the marketing team. Give me a gift."

Hinana didn't say she was going to the hospital, not wanting to surprise her but she didn't want to talk.

This afternoon time went very slowly for Hinana, it felt like she wanted to go home soon.

"Hi na na. Hinana.." call Tsubaki.

"Eh, what's up?"

"you daydreaming?"

"no I work."

"you keep looking at your phone. Oh no, it looks like you're looking at the photo."

"stop Tsubaki."

"yes, thank you Ren."

"no problem."

The time had already shown at 7pm, everyone was rushing as well as Hinana.

"suddenly today we have a meeting, Mr. Jun Matsumoto just arrived from America" said Mr. Jouji surprised everyone.

"does everyone have to attend?" ask Arumi.

"of course, get ready immediately."

"sir Jouji may I not attend?" Hinana was disappointed.

"what's Hinana doing?"

"h no, no."

"all of you I have to wait in the meeting room for another thirty minutes." ordered Mr. Jouji and all agreed.

Tsubaki looked at Hinana's anxious face, her hand carrying a banana parcel. Tsubaki finds out that Hinana is going to see Ren, because Ren is very fond of bananas.

"let's go there." said Arumi.

All rushing into the meeting room, Hinana walked anxiously in the corridor.

"Hinana, go." Tsubaki said before entering the room.

"uh."

"you're going to see Ren, right? Go, I'll let Mr. Jouji." Tsubaki approaches Hinana. Despite thinking for a long time, Hinana finally decided to leave. Mr. Jun Matsumoto is Ren's working relationship, and the meeting is not so formal, of course there is a dinner.

"Arigatou Tsubaki-san" said Hinana with a sigh of excitement, then ran out.

Thirty minutes drive to the hospital and already showing at 8 p.m. Hinana runs down the corridor to Ren's room, because people are sick when the night is about to break.

Hinana saw Ren was asleep and could not wake him. Although still disappointed but at least Hinana can still see Ren's face.

"Hinine." Ren was surprised when he woke up to see Hinana in front of him.

"it's 10 o'clock at night what's up here." Ren looked towards the clock, and he also did not know that Hinana had already waited two hours.

"banana." replied Hinana giving a bag of bananas.

"i want to eat one" Ren said with a smile.

"i make this eat" said Hinana by giving the banana that has been peeled.

"emm oishi... Thank you, Hinana." Ren enjoyed it very much.

"you like, eat a lot."

"you also eat Hinana."

"no need for me to be full" said Hinana by leaning her head on Ren's bed.

Actually Hinana hasn't had dinner yet, but because today's work is so tiring makes Hinana lazy. He looked at Ren who was very greedy eating bananas until he finally fell asleep.

"even if you fall asleep, it still makes me fall in love." Ren muttered by stroking Hinana's hair.

Ren covered Hinana with his thick blanket, then lay down facing Hinana.

"oyasumi nassai Hinana" he said and went to bed. Tonight Ren had not expected her to spend time with Hinana. Ren also did not believe that he could get close to Hinana whose heart was very hard.

At midnight, Mr. Jouji took the time to visit Ren at the hospital.

Ren had been diagnosed with acute heart disease since the age of 20, and had undergone three surgeries. And the ring in his heart. Therefore all his family is very worried about Ren, especially his brother Shota.

Jouji sees Hinana sleeping in a sitting position and Ren sleeps looking at Hinana.

"i thought so." Jouji's mind. Actually he was surprised how Hinana knew Ren was being treated. But at least Jouji can see Ren happily living his days with Hinana.

**********

"Ohayo Hinana's.." Ren was very cheerful when he saw Hinana open her eyes.

"uh, did I fall asleep here?" asked Hinana and Ren nodded.

"what time is it? I have to work, I don't bring clothes." Hinana was very panicked when she found out that it was 7 am, another hour had to be at work.

"you're so noisy early in the morning."

"you're supposed to wake me up early."

"why am I wrong, I just woke up." Ren defended himself and laughed at Hinana's behavior.

"m-must I how this is?"

"where are you going?"

"work."

"at least take a shower before work" said Ren. Shamefully Hinana closed her face and went into the bathroom.
