"Yukiatsuis. Who is he, what does this have to do with Hinana?" Arumi Mumbled.

Arumi's phone rang, she immediately moved away so as not to be caught eavesdropping.

"hello Ren, why is it so hard to contact you?"

"sorry I'm so busy, have you seen my email?"

"yes already, Mr. Matsumoto also agreed with the design. You're Ren's best." praise Arumi.

"you're overreacting Arumi."

"oh yeah Ren do you know Yukiatsu?" arumi's question made Ren speechless there.

"hello Ren do you hear me?" arumi asked after a long time of no words.

"what's wrong?"

"i heard Miss Sawako always talking about Yukiatsu with Hinana. And I don't think Hinana likes it."

"is Hinana at the party?"

"of course, oh yes Shota is also here."

"Arumis.. Come here we toast." cried Arumi's friends.

"until Ren's daughter-in-law, I'll continue the party" Arumi said and stopped her phone.

Hinana drank her soda quickly, not because of thirst but her heart was very sick because it was still near Sawako.

"oh yes Hinana what are your plans after breaking up with Yukiatsu?"

"why are you asking me?"

"it's okay, it's just do you still love her?" sawako's words are like swords that rain down on her heart.

"i'll go first,."

"you're trying to escape me?"

"actually what do you want?"

"you're finally asking me. I need you to help me get close to Yukiatsu."

"forget that'll never happen." Hinana could no longer hold back her tears. He immediately went away from Sawako.

"wait a minute, Hinana." Sawako's still after him.

Hinana lowered her head and walked quickly, it seemed like her tears had completely fallen and the tightness in her chest was getting more and more painful. Hinana finally hit someone.

"long time no see miss Sawako." said Ren then put his flat hat on Hinana.

"it's good to see you Ren." said Sawako.

Hinana puts her head close to Ren's body when she finds out that the one she hit was Ren.

"miss Sawako let's join us toast." cried Arumi came to Sawako.

"oh Ren you're coming too, let's have a toast together." take Arumi.

"yes, you go first."

"there's Ren we're waiting for you." Arumi immediately takes Sawako to go up to the balcony.

Ren hugged Hinana after his two friends left. After calling Arumi he immediately rushed to the office, because Ren knew that Hinana would get hurt again.

"why don't you just run?" Ren wiped away Hinana's tears and looked at the sadness in her eyes.

"can't I?"

"what's all that because of the cooperation?" ren and Hinana asked nodding, "forgive me." Ren hugged Hinana.

Ren feels guilty to Hinana, for the sake of saving his company Hinana willingly if hurt again

Hearing Ren's arrival from Arumi, Shota immediately comes down and approaches him. But the unattractive sight he must see. Shota sees Hinana crying in Ren's arms.

Although Shota loved her sister very much, the pain was still there. Because Shota already loves Hinana.

Shota returns to her friends, before long Ren and Hinana also come.

"Ren long time no see, I miss you." said Emi who was happy with Ren's arrival.

"sorry I'm so busy, I miss you too."

"drink us a toast tonight." Arumi poured a glass of white for Ren and Hinana.

"sorry I get drunk easily." reject Hinana and Ren together.

"Have you guys been so compact. Well, then this is for both of you." Arumi gives Hinana and Ren canned soda.

"thank you." Hinana took.

"all right come on, Ren, you don't want to come?" tsubaki asked because Ren didn't take his sodas.

Shota throws a bottle of water at Ren, quickly taking it.

"let's have a toast" Ren said, and everyone followed him.

"eat." Hinana gives a piece of apple to Ren.

"is there a banana?"

"nothing, you're a picky eater."

"i don't like it."

"just be skinny, you're always picky." Hinana mocking Ren.

"there's peach fruit too, it's so good Ren." Emi gives it to Ren but does not accept her.

"no. I don't like it either."

"it turns out that the main director of Koizumi Clothes is very funny" said Sawako and laughed.

"stop Tsubaki, this hurts a lot." Ren whispered and everyone laughed.

"you're handsome and rich why aren't you married to Ren?" ask Sawako and everyone notices Ren.

"emm my mind hasn't been there yet. There's still something I have to do." Ren replied with a smile.

I don't feel like it's early morning. Everyone cleaned the office balcony because the party was over.

"when are you home?" ask Shota who is busy with her Camera.

"since morning." replied Ren.

"why did you come here did you run away again."

"of course not, Dady gave me permission because you're here too."

"you always drag my name."

"of course, Dady won't worry if I'm with you."

Shota was still busy setting his camera and at that time the flash light was on towards his friends.

Hinana approached Shota and took her camera.

"what are you doing." asked the surprised Shota. While Ren looked and just laughed. This incident was exactly the same while on Ren's inner train.

"nothing" replied Hinana when it was felt there was no photo of her on Shota's camera.

"strange basics, you're also why laugh."

"it's okay."

"Shota how about we take a photo together." Arumi asked.

"yes it seems like it will be a reminder of our grandchildren." Tsubakis.

"i'll take a picture."

"you're coming too, the six of us together."

"i'm not going with you guys" said Hinana, who was busy collecting cans.

"just follow Hinana." Ren pulled Hinana's hand and invited her to join. Shota approves and regulates the camera.

"ayo has started, one, two, chesee" said Shota and at that time he saw Ren's hand hugging Hinana's body.

!!KRIIKKK!!!! one photo has been taken. Everyone was smiling happily, and so was Hinana.

"we went home first with Ren, Shota" said Arumi and the others.

"hem be careful."

"happy new year Ren." - Tsubaki.

"happy new year too."

"Hinana do you want to go home too?" Ren stopped Hinana's steps.

"hem, I also drove Emi. What's up?"

"it's okay. Hinana tomorrow can we meet?"

"oh sure."

"i'll wait in Furano Park at 9am."

"alright, with Ren." Hinana goes to follow her friends.

"Hinana, you can take me to Yamato mart first" Emi said, then got into Hinana's car.

"alright"

"thank you, Hinana, I'm sorry to bother you, I hope my car is done tomorrow."

"it's okay. Emi get me a bottle of shake."

"certain." Emi then got off Hinana's car and headed for minimart.

BEEPING

Hinana opens her phone, there is a group invitation and Shota sends a photo together.

"Happy New Year." wrote Shota.

"Happy New year too." Reply the others except Ren and Hinana.

"this shake's yours." Emi finished shopping and got into Hinana's car.

"how much?"

"no, let's just say I'm the deal."

"really, thank you Emi."

"have you seen the picture?, it's so cool." asked Emi and Hinana just nodded and focused on the wheel.

"it's over."

"thank you, Hinana, oh yeah. I like Ren." Emi said suddenly before getting out of the car.

"DAD." Hinana's surprised.

"why are you telling me."

"well, it's just that you need to know. I liked Ren from the first year of High School, until now." All of Emi's statements made the atmosphere awkward. Hinana fell silent while Emi was still waiting for Hinana's answer.

"i don't care, it's none of my business."

"so.! Um thanks for the ride Hinana. Goodbye." Emi got off Hinana's car and waved her hand. Hinana just nodded and continued on her way.
