Snow In December

"you want TO KILL HIM...!" shout Shota.

The calm atmosphere became tense, it was unexpected that Shota would hit Tsubaki.

"i-I'm sorry I didn't accidentally." Tsubaki tried to stand up and looked down apologetically at Shota.

"Shota stop." Ren immediately breaks up his older brother who almost hits Tsubaki again.

"you too, you sloppy bastard." said Shota and then came out of the patient's room.

"are you okay?" ask Hinana and help Tsubaki because her nose is bleeding.

"it's okay, thank you for the knife."

"Ren you lie down again. I'm going after him, it's not polite to have been helped instead of thank you for hitting." hinana grumbled.

"Hinana.." call Ren and Tsubaki simultaneously while Hinana is going after Shota.

"huhwhat's up?"

"let's just, I'm fine." stop Tsubaki.

"Shota can't be let on, she has to apologize to you" Hinana said.

Ren only sighed because the atmosphere was going to be complicated.

"sorry" Ren told Tsubaki.

"em's okay, Shota takes care of you very well."

"actually this morning I made a strawberry smoothie for Hinana, I was afraid it was less sweet or too sweet so I tried it a little. I'm really sorry Tsubaki."

"so." said Tsubaki with a sigh.

"gommen."

"it's okay, I'd be relieved if it wasn't for me."

"i hope you can keep it a secret from Hinana."

"you care so much about Hinana, you like her?" tsubaki asked, and Ren only replied with a nod.

Tsubaki recalls the events of five years ago, when Ren told her he was in love with a girl in Paris. But the girl found out about Ren's illness and left.

"are you afraid that Hinana knows about your illness?"

"hem, I thought he was going to get away from me." muttered Ren and Tsubaki could hear him.

While Hinana is still chasing Shota and scolding her.

"Shota, can you not blame one side" Hinana said, following Shota's footsteps.

"you don't know what's going on, so shut up."

"okay I don't know, can you tell him? You shouldn't have hit Tsubaki even if he was guilty. Tsubaki cares about Ren." Hinana continues to follow Shota by explaining at length, but Shota remains stubbornly reluctant to hear her explanation.

"SHOTA!!" hinana yelled in annoyance and finally Shota stopped.

"heard well Hinana. If you really care about Ren, don't let Ren do anything." Shota replied in the end.

"Hinana, I'm taking Ren home are you coming?" tsubaki says by helping Ren walk.

"i'll go home with Shota, you go." Ren heard all the conversations Hinana and her brother had. He knows that Shota is very worried about him, but Ren can't keep quiet either.

"it'd be safer if I'd just take her home." Hinana immediately pulled Ren's hand and took him away. While his eyes look sharply towards Shota.

Hinana rides a taxi that is stopped in front of the hospital, Ren remains silent to see how he was pulled by Hinana.

"are you better?" ask Hinana on the way.

"hem, thank you."

"no problem. If you're still sick, you better rest first, we'll just postpone the current job."

"actually my wish is too. But we don't have much time until that day."

"what's so important to you?"

"hem, because it's not just my dream. Tsubaki, Arumi and Emi as designers of course the activity is very meaningful. And I can't just prevent their dreams."

"you care so much for your friends, I'd be jealous if my best friend was like you."

"you kidding? I'm also your friend, you can consider me your best friend."

"friend a man? Forget it, all men are just bullshit" Hinana said by hitting Ren on the shoulder.

"but you already care about me, even taking me home. Arigatou Hinana."

"are you worried about me? Even though a Shota like that can't hurt me."

"just whatever you are. We're at your house, come down."

"hem thanks for driving me."

"no problem. Ren, if you don't want to prevent their dreams, we'll get well and wait for you. Daah Ren." said Hinana with a smile and then closed the car door.

Ren returns Hinana's hand until the taxi disappears from her sight.

""of so many people you're the only one who convinced me to heal, Hinana's gommen looks like I'm going to let you down."" Ren said in his heart.

Hinana had reached her apartment and saw that there were uncles, aunts and Keiko already inside.

"i'm home."

"welcome to Hinana-san." said Keiko and hugged her.

"you came here why didn't you tell me?"

"we didn't have time, oh yeah Hinana's got souvenirs for you." her uncle gave a parcel to Hinana.

"if only I knew you were on holiday in Russia I'd ask for more. But thank you so much uncle, auntie, Keiko."

"i have good and bad news for you."

"what?"

"the good news is I'm going to college in Todai I made it in there, and the good news is I'm going to leave you." said Keiko immediately hugged Hinana with her potency.

"congratulations to you Keiko, but one message from me."

"i'll take your message from you."

"after graduating from Todai don't be as annoying as Ryusei, you understand."

"haik wakarimasu."

"oh yeah Hinana, how's your sister?"

"i don't know bi."

"are you still not well?"

"there's no point in making up with him, after all he might already be working at dad's company."

"Hinana, the first person who was worried at the time of the incident was Ryusei. He met Yukiatsu when you went here."

Hinana was surprised to hear an explanation from her aunt.

"what did Ryusei meet him for? And why didn't aunt tell me this whole time."

"Ryusei didn't say anything to me, he was worried about you. Even though you two never got along, but for Ryusei you're the most precious brother."

"Hinana was actually a gift from your sister not from us, she was worried at the time but she didn't dare to see you." said her uncle. Hinana immediately opened the parcel and it turned out to be a sweater and a letter from her sister Ryusei.

""" the air in Hokkaido is very cold wearing warm clothes. Get better soon, I'd rather you hit me in the face. Ryusei arizawa."""

"foolish basic, if I see your face I'll make sure you're battered." muttered Hinana and put on a sweater from her.

"alright, I gotta go. Bye -bye Hinana - san."

"let me know when I get to Tokyo."

"oh yeah I forgot one thing about you."

"what?"

"i'm waiting for your news with Ren's sister." whispered Keiko.

"i said impossible."

"why is it impossible, the two of you are dating a lot."

"he's just my boss, go."

"okay bye-bye." Keiko waved her hand happily as she managed to tease Hinana.

After everything went away Hinana immediately prepared her papers and stationery, this time Hinana tried to design clothes.

"yosh, I have to do it. Even though I'm not a graduate designer, I won't let you down." muttered Hinana and started drawing.

On the sidelines of her activities Hinana holds a sweater from her sister, she remembers how very annoying Ryusei is to her.
