Snow In December

Aoyama helped Hinana tidy up the items. Actually not too much is brought Hinana, but Hinana forced Aoyama to deliver home.

"are you sure you'll live alone?" aoyama asked, because her aunt went to Tokyo while Hinana was in the hospital.

"then how else do I have to be?"

"emm fine it's up to you."

"i thought you were going to offer to stay in your house." hinana grumbled by fixing the bandage on her head.

"where possible, even if you're my only friend, but I don't like it if there's anyone in my place."

"basar you, then how will you live with your partner later."

" it's none of your business. Hurry up, there's someone I need to meet today."

"i think your boyfriend has to date you."

"why do you say that." Aoyama's emotions are ignited by Hinana's words.

"hey, you don't think you're at home with your nullep attitude like this."

"at least I'm handsome and smart, let's go." Aoyama immediately brought Hinana's bag.

"wait a minute, don't you mind waiting for me for a second. I have to see someone, if you mind you can go I'll take a cab home." Hinana recalled Ren's father's words back then. So he decided to visit Ren before returning home.

"no problem, I can turn back time. Anyway, I promised your mother I'd take care of you during the illness."

"Aoyama Arigatou. I'm going for a minute." Hinana then rushed to head to Ren's room. Aoyama follows Hinana from behind, knowing that Hinana is going to Ren's room.

"Ne Hinana, I hope you don't make decisions like me. Because the risk is so great, I don't even know if I'm capable of it." Kou Aoyama.

GECK... GECK... GECK...

"Konichiwa, watashi Hinana desu (hello I Hinana)." Hinana knocks on Ren's room door hesitantly, as she sees Ren reading a book.

"come in." Ren's voice came from inside telling him to come in. Hinana starts to enter Ren's room, followed by Aoyama.

"can you go home?" ask Ren and say hello to Aoyama.

"i'll just wait outside." Aoyama realized that she did not want to disturb the two of them.

"come to Hinana, I hear your wounds are nothing serious. I'm glad to hear that. "Ren told Hinana to sit on her bed.

"Hem. Ren kun I'm sorry, yesterday I shouldn't have been mad at you." hinana regretted and lowered her head.

"what a pain it feels like." Slowly Ren's fingers stroked Hinana's hair gently. Hinana was amazed by Ren's treatment. Today Ren smiled as usual, it could not be denied that Hinana liked Ren's smile.

"Hem." she replied with a thud.

"Hinana there's something I want to tell you. I actually wanted to say it after the festival, but since the festival didn't reach so I'll say it now."

"hem say." replied Hinana. He is shocked when Ren holds his hand and puts it on Ren's chest. Ren's treatment this time really made Hinana's cheeks flushed.

"i'm going to die" Ren said with great pressure.

Hinana was shocked and still did not understand what Ren meant. He immediately pulled his hand back as he felt very nervous.

"Hey, I think everybody's gonna die" Hinana said. But again Ren did the same. Ren again placed Hinana's hand on her chest that was fielded, thus making Hinana's cheeks redden again.

"Listen I'm not done talking. Hinana there's something painful in here. The doctor told me I would die at 30. Hinana and will you accompany me to live my very little life?" Ren resumed his words that had been cut off.

Hinana was still silent looking at Ren's face looking for seriousness there. Is this kidding? Ask Hinana herself. He still has not digested Ren's words properly.

"how old are you now?" ask Hinana suddenly.

"almost 30 years."

"in what month?"

"December."

"31."

A number of questions Hinana answered Ren casually, as if he did not want to lie to her. But honestly Hinana still does not really understand what Ren said.

"Daijobu, it's still February anyway. It's still a long way to December." said Ren casually. "don't you go home? Aoyama is waiting for you."

"wakatta (okay) I'm here to say goodbye too." replied Hinana nervously. In his brain he was still digesting words from Ren.

"Be careful. Don't worry me anymore, okay." Ren said with still developing his smile.

"hem heals quickly." said Hinana before leaving Ren's room. But he saw Ren laughing out loud. "Doshite (why)?" Hinana asked why she was laughing.

" didn't I tell you that."

"uh, then what's wrong."

"no no, nothing is wrong. Go Aoyama sensei seems to be tired of waiting." throw Ren out with a laugh.

"well, I'm going." Hinana is upset that Ren kicked her out. Not only that Hinana felt in being laughed at by Ren.

Hinana immediately stepped out to Aoyama's car.

"i'll go to the apartment." she asked Aoyama on the way.

"Why you're changing all of a sudden."

"i'm bored at home. At least if it's in the apartment I can pay a visit to your apartment."

"just up to you." Aoyama turns her car and heads towards Sapporo.

Aoyama lives in the same apartment. It was he who bought her Hinana's parents.

When they arrived at Hinana's apartment they still saw that the apartment could not be lived in. Hinana also covered all her things with a white cloth.

"we don't have time to move house." Aoyama complains and where is it possible to let Hinana clean up on her own.

"i have Toru." Hinana approached her robot. "Eh, it looks like the battery has to be filled first" he said with embarrassment.

"forget Toru, inevitably I have to take you to my place." Aoyama immediately pulled Hinana's hand and climbed on the 25th floor where Aoyama lived.

Hinana and Aoyama are like brothers. Because Hinana used to be closer to Aoyama than her sister Ryusei. Hinana's parents also considered Aoyama to be her son at the time.

"Woe... You tidied up your apartment yourself?" Hinana directly leaned her body on the soft sofa. Aoyama makes drinks.

"drink and quickly go to bed to the room."

Hinana quickly brewed chamomile tea that her friend had given her.

"we both slept?"

"BAKA.. (stupid)." Aoyama immediately threw a pillow towards Hinana. And Hinana instead laughed because she managed to tease him. Aoyama is a solitary person, unable to even sleep if there are people nearby. He enjoys having his days by himself.

Instead Aoyama was even disturbed if there were people accompanying him. Not wanting to linger, Hinana decided to go into Aoyama's room and sleep. While Aoyama sleeps on the sofa in the middle room.

Hinana was still thinking about what Ren said in the hospital. However his gaze turned to dimding Aoyama's room. Hinana looked at the photos of the short-haired women. And Aoyama's photo with her as a child.

" yokatta (thankfully) you can finally love someone other than yourself." cried Hinana by looking at the photo of a beautiful woman placed on the table.

"Aoyama kun is this your girlfriend?" ask Hinana and bring a photo of the woman. Aoyama who was drinking coffee and reading books at the time was shocked.

"i'm sorry I brought you here." Aoyama immediately took a photo of her lover from Hinana's hand.

While Hinana who saw it was just giggling, felt the attitude of her friend had not changed.
