Snow In December

Hinana couldn't believe that Ren was holding her and how strange it was that Hinana couldn't resist that hug. I wanted Hinana to cry but never could, it was because Hinana had decided not to be weak.

Shota who was looking from the prank immediately averted his eyes. Because his sister had never approached a woman for a long time. Shota decides to leave them alone.

"if it hurts say it hurts, if you want to cry then crying does not need to be held. Indeed, all of that will not solve the problem, but at least it can make him feel relieved." said Ren after hugging Hinana for a long time.

"forgive me, Mr. Ren." Hinana finally dropped her tears after looking towards Ren. And Ren put on his flat cap to cover Hinana who might cry.

"i'm gonna take you home, the air's so cold in here that you're sick."

Ren escorts Hinana back to her Aunt's house, and they are both greeted warmly by Miyo-san and Keiko.

"Finally Onii-san has a friend." said Keiko and immediately hugged Hinana. While Ren smiled at Keiko's words.

"Aw." Hinana moans when Keiko accidentally holds her hand.

"eh Onii you're hurt, why?"

"it's okay, just hit the stove."

"thank you for driving me home. You can go home now." Hinana told Ren.

"Eh, come in first. Hinana shouldn't have kicked him out. Let's go inside first." Miyo-san told Ren to enter her house first.

"thank you Aunt," Ren followed his Aunt Hinana's invitation.

"Keiko, bring in Hinana might need a break."

"thank you young master for delivering Hinana safely, drink a cup of macha to keep you warm."

"thank you Bi, oh yeah just call me Ren."

"are you a friend of Hinana's?"

"yes, "

"thankfully the boy was able to be friends again, since the incident Hinana always shut herself up and did not trust anyone else."

"sorry to know what's going on with him?"

"Hinana hasn't told you?" asked Miyo-san and Ren shook their heads.

"it was supposed to be Saturday in June that Hinana was getting married, but her lover canceled her wedding. Her lover chose to marry Hinana's best friend. Since then Hinana has become quiet. Her mother was always worried that Hinana wouldn't even cry when her ex-boyfriend said." Miyo-san tells Ren about Hinana's bitter experience.

Ren who listened to the story recalled the rumors that were on Shota's phone. And it turns out that Hinana is the model, just right when Ren took the picture on his view train is very suitable.

"sorry if I'm presumptuous, did Hinana come here just to forget her ex-boyfriend?" asked Ren doubtfully.

"of course, her mother thought Hinana was going to kill herself. But I know Hinana's not that weak. He's looking for a job here and out of the entertainment world."

"Hhh the guest hasn't come home yet.?" keiko asked as she got down the stairs.

"what about your sister?" asked Miyo-san

"sleep mom. Brother Hinana's friend turned out to be cool too."

"hust Keiko take care of your behavior."

"it's okay, there's no need to be so formal aunty I like to joke."

"are you still in school?"

"of course, I'm a student last year."

"it is good to learn the diligent. Excuse me first."

"Eh already want to go yes, I just made some food." Miyo-san said from the kitchen.

"don't bother Aunt I just dropped Nana off ."

"in our house there is nothing, eat the Lord's fruit." Keiko immediately brought the fruits as it was only natural to give the guests a proper guest.

"Eh banana?"

"thank you, did you import it?" ask Ren by taking a banana. In Japan, it is difficult to find bananas.

"of course me and sister Hinana like it, do you like it too?"

"yes, call me Ren."

"but you're much older than me. I'll call you Onii-san."

"it's up to you, thanks for the fruit" Ren said, enjoying the bananas.

The next day Hinana woke up because Keiko opened the curtains of her room, so the sunlight went straight into her room.

"good morning Onii-san, let's have breakfast." said Keiko as usual.

"good morning. I'll be down in a minute." replied Hinana and saw her cousin's sister was gone.

Today Hinana is not planning to go to work. Last night's incident made Hinana embarrassed because Hinana felt insolent with Ren.

"you're not working?" miyo-san asked as she saw Hinana sitting at the dining table.

"hem."

"are you sick? what about the wound on your hand?, come here Auntie treat." Miyo-san brought a bandage and was about to change.

"no need, it'll heal itself." Hinana instantly pulled her hand as Miyo-san held onto it.

Miyo-san is not pushy because after all she has understood Hinana's attitude that has changed greatly.

"i go first, mother, brother Hinana." Keiko goes to school immediately. Keiko also understands that Hinana has started to change and does not want to make Hinana sad.

"thank you for the food Auntie, I went back to the room first" said Hinana and left her aunt.

In the room there was only Hinana herself, her gaze fixed on her large suitcase. Then Hinana opened her suitcase and took a large photo album.

"Yukiatsu" he said softly by touching his prewed photo.

Hinana could not cry even though she was in her heart very sick. He is furious at Yukiatsu's former lover and Saiko's close friend who betrayed him.

A white car is parked in the yard of the house, Hinana knows who the owner is if not Ren Koizumi.

"Hinana is your friend." cried Miyo-san from the basement.

"does he have no job.?" said Hinana with annoyance then clean up her photo album and immediately down.

"you're out of work, are you still sick?" asked Ren when he saw Hinana.

"it's none of your business, I'll quit my job. My resignation letter soon followed." replied Hinana and returned to her room but Ren managed to prevent it.

"wait."

"Auntie will go to the front page, continue your business" Miyo-san said, not wanting to interrupt.

"wait a minute you can't come out, I've promoted you to manager."

"i'm not interested."

"but I'm interested, the longer your job the better." Ren holds Hinana's injured hand and Hianana tries to pull over but Ren's grip is very strong.

"i'll change the bandage. Soon this will not hurt, if the bandage is dirty then the bacteria will stick. Finished." said Ren by replacing the bandage Hinana with a very skilled.

"why do you care about me?." Hinana asked because Ren had been pretty good to her all along.

"because you're my friend."

"i don't want to be friends with anyone" Hinana replied firmly, leaving Ren speechless.

"this. Come back to work tomorrow." Ren hands over Hinana's bag because he left it on the porch yesterday.

Hinana took it without saying anything and Hinana let Ren go. Indeed that was what he expected, although Ren was quite good to him but Hinana increasingly disliked him.

Before Ren got into his car he looked at Hinana from the prank. Just this time Ren found someone who was very hard at heart.
