Snow In December

" Ren-kun really don't you want to ride one of these games?" Hinana screamed because she was riding one of the comedy plays.

"it's fun, you know." shouted Hinana once again and came down to Ren.

"no Hinana, you're all."

"why?"

"it's okay, just seeing you ride it I'm happy."

"strange basics. Come here." Come here." Hinana draws Ren's hand and takes him on a comedy-drama.

"wait a minute, Hinana. Hinana, Hinana." Ren continues to refuse, but Hinana continues to force Ren. And Ren brushed Hinana's hand off.

"stop Hinana, I'm scared" Ren said, then lowered his head. Hinana instantly stopped her steps and slowly approached Ren. He's never seen Ren like this.

Frightened ren? I've never seen Ren's face like this. Could she have had a deep trauma?there are a thousand questions on Hinana's mind.

" Ren.." called Hinana but Ren still lowered his head and said nothing

" Ren, gommene."

"there's no need to apologize, because there's nothing wrong."

"are you really scared? " ask Hinana again.

"actually it's not, it's just that I've never been on any rides. So I feel...."

" this vehicle is not dangerous at all. Trust me, Ren."

"really?"

" i'll be by your side, so no one's worried. Come on." Hinana again holds Ren's hand and approaches the comedy play.

Ren only follows Hinana's will. As Hinana promised, she was next to Ren until one round came to a halt. This time it was all about Ren, somehow, how and why. Hinana felt that Ren had started to enter a part of her life.

"Hinana thank you." said Ren and walked towards a restaurant.

"for what?"

"to this day. Although I just climbed it but it feels good." Ren pointed to the swivel comedy he had been riding on.

"it doesn't matter, but are you seriously riding it for the first time?" hinana and Ren asked just nod.

"then when you were a kid, didn't you ever go to Disneyland?"

"emmm momy promised to take me and Shota to play at the spring festival. Momy was still working and very busy. He forgot his promise. From that moment on I was disappointed and I vented with studying. So I've never been on vacation with my parents."

"why did you choose to study? You can go with Shota or your other friends."

"at that time I had no friends in Japan. I chose to study because I didn't think it would disappoint. I can win the championship, be class president and pass the exam well."

"so you feel that can be achieved by learning. So disappointed are you with your mother."

"that was, let's eat Hinana first" Ren said as the waiter gave the message.

It was late at night, Ren invited Hinana to come home. Although the day is getting crowded, but for Ren and Hinana it is enough to spend time together.

"Ren-kun can I ask you something?" ask Hinana when going to the car park.

"let's say it."

"why are you crying." asked Hinana carefully.

"i told you, I was just overwhelmed by the song. Let's go home."

" wait a minute. Back then, back in Niseko I saw you too. You close your eyes and let your tears come out." Hinana prevents Ren from getting in the car. Ren just kept quiet and didn't seem to want to say anything to Hinana.

" tell me Ren." Hinana couldn't hide her tears and just spilled.

"Ren-kun did something happen to you? Please tell me."

" i'm fine Hinana" Ren said in a soft voice.

"no, you lied to Ren, you're not okay. If you're okay don't duck, look at me." Hinana approached Ren and opened the hair that had covered her face.

"Ren look at me if you're okay." Hinana held Ren's head and looked at Ren's face.

Finally, Ren forced to obey Hinana's words, he straightened his head to face Hinana. Now Ren can't lie to Hinana, when Ren looks down he actually hides his tears. And now it's been discovered.

Hinana was shocked as soon as she saw Ren, her hand slowly wiped away Ren's tears. During this pair of eyes that he saw was very calm, it turned out that there was sadness behind it.

"i've been caught now" Ren said with a smile on his face. "sometimes there are feelings I can't say, and only tears can convey. That's why I'm crying."

"what sorrow befalls you."

"i told you, I can't tell you, don't force me" Ren said a little angrily. He handed the keys to Hinana and left her.

" Ren-kun wait." Hinana immediately caught up with Ren and hugged him tightly. "Gomennasai."

Ren was very surprised as Hinana hugged him from behind. Slowly he wanted to touch Hinana's hand but undo his intentions. He only covered his face so that no one would see him grieve.

Ren had never felt this feeling. Although Ren has many friends, but when he was with Hinana he could not hide his true feelings. He is happy with Hinana, but it is impossible if this happiness lasts long.

"let's go home to Hinana" Ren said, facing Hinana.

"hem come on." Hinana holds Ren's hand and invites him into the car.

This time it was Hinana driving her car. The atmosphere in the car was very quiet. Sometimes he looks at Ren, but Ren is silent. The view is far away looking out.

"Ren, we're at your house."

"haem arigatou. Oh yes Hinana, from tomorrow I won't pick you up again." said Ren then got off Hinana's car.

" the eyes of ashita Ren.." cried Hinana with a wave. But there was no reply from Ren, not even Ren looked back at all.

Hinana drives her car, her mind is so fucked up. This time he did not want to go home, Hinana drove her car to a basketball playground. Many times he threw the ball but no one entered the ring.

"dad shit" said someone Hinana knew.

" Shota's... Since when are you here?" Hinana was shocked when she heard Shota's voice.

"news." Shota then picked up the ball Hinana was holding. "Yossh." said Shota when he managed to throw the ball into the ring.

"just you."

"eh why? You're not what you used to be."

"it may just be your feelings." Hinana took a bottle of water and drank it until it ran out.

"hem may be right, because my feelings are good right now."

"what happened to you?" ask Hinana.

"somehow, I was also confused where to begin to tell it. I was clearly confused as to what to do. Because right now I'm just an unemployed person." Shota replied while playing the basketball in his hand.

"you don't work in the company?"

"you kidding? I don't have any skills at Ren's company. In fact I screwed it up and almost bankrupted it."

"then what about your job in Osaka?"

"i've been fired." replied Shota lightly.
