Snow In December
59

Hinana returns her car to the apartment. But before that he goes to the hospital to give Aoyama dinner. In return if he took care of her during her illness.

"Aoyama kun.." call Hinana and go to the doctor's office.

"Yes, why are you here." Aoyama replied not yet by copying the patient's records.

"I bought you dinner, Nih." Hinana put two bentos on the table and started exploring Aoyama's room.

"Have you eaten yet?" asked Aoyama and Hinana, shaking her head, as she read Aoyama's book.

"Well let's eat together." Aoyama invites Hinana to eat in her room.

"Hey Aoyama kun, I want you to help me. You can sew, right?" hinana said while eating a meal together. And at that moment Aoyama choked on what surprised her.

" You're doing fine. Drink." Hinana opened the mineral water she bought as well.

"It's worth it that you're suddenly good at bringing food. It turned out that it wasn't free." murmured Aoyama after swallowing her drink.

Hinana who heard Aoyama's chatter became laughing. Because I feel Aoyama knows the plan.

"It's not like that either, fellow friends don't have to help each other." Hinana still could not stop laughing when she saw the face of her childhood friend.

"Then what do you want?"

"Alright, I need you to help me make a dress. I've designed it just Sawako said she needs a lot more help."

"Eh!! You don't see the clothes I'm wearing? I'm a doctor not a tailor." said Aoyama and ruffled Hinana's hair.

"Oh please, you're my only friend." Hinana and make a cute face on Aoyama. "At the same time I've also been doing a very long theater to bring your favorite food, you know my legs almost feel broken because they're long standing."

"It's up to you." Aoyama gave up and inevitably he had to obey Hinana's request. From a long time ago, he could not refuse what Hinana said. Hinana is Aoyama's only friend.

"Arigatou ne." Hinana said and hugged Aoyama. "Tomorrow come to my office at 10am understand."

"Why do you want to tell me? I can't tomorrow."

"When are you going to help me?"

"Tomorrow there's an operation schedule, maybe tomorrow I'll go to your office."

"All right, wait, watch out if you don't keep your word." Hinana stared at Aoyama's face sharply.

"When did I ever break a promise to you." Strangled Aoyama and made Hinana laugh again.

"Yes yes, Aoyama always kept his promise to me. Jaa Eyes." Hinana waved her hand then left from Aoyama's room.

"Ne Hinana, even the promise of 12 years ago I still remember it. Gomen ne, about that I can't keep." Aoyama kou's.

Morning has greeted, and the cherry blossoms have become more bold to bloom so as to make the beauty of Hokkaido city.

Hinana immediately rushed to the office with a number of lace works in the apartment. This time Hinana wanted to start early.

"Ohaiou." Greet someone sitting at his desk. The usual work will start at 8 am, but Hinana has left at 7 am.

"Ohaiou." Hinana replied but did not look at all. She hurried to leave the room because she wanted to finish her dress immediately. "Eh." Hinana immediately turned to the marketing room because she was very familiar with the voice. "Why what are you doing so early?" ask Hinana.

"Baka ne (stupid), that should be what I'm asking you." Said Ren who was reading a book on Hinana's desk.

"I-I'm finishing something. Hey Ren, I don't think it's any harm if you judge." Hinana immediately took the unfinished dress and showed it to Ren. He thought Ren would be happy to see his efforts.

But the current Ren was different from the one he had known before, even Hinana had not seen Ren's usual smile either.

"Eh, I made it with your design. I think it's good." Hinana answered innocently.

"As far as you are. Please do it and you will be humiliated in front of the podium." Whisper Ren with a pressing tone then leave Hinana.

Hearing Ren's last words made Hinana's legs feel weak. She fell on the floor holding her dress.

"Either why did I become weak as he looked at me like that. Is that you? Is that really you?." said Hinana and looked at Ren's back who left her.

Fifteen minutes Hinana was still silent in place, with tears soaking her dress. His brain was still filled with Ren's face which said harshly to him.

"Hinana, what's wrong with you?" Arumi immediately approached Hinana who was sitting on the floor.

Hinana's words at that time managed to persuade Arumi. The plan today Arumi does intend to return and deliberately not inform Hinana.

"Arumi, am I wrong." Hinana muttered with flowing tears and Arumi could hear her.

"Did something happen to you? Tell me Hinana. Did anyone hurt you?" Arumi became worried because she had never seen Hinana like this.

"Ohayou..." Tsubaki and Emi come together. He also saw Hinana and Arumi.

"Hey what's going on?" Tsubaki asked and approached the two of them.

"I don't know, either, when I got here I saw Hinana like this." Answer Arumi.

"Arumi chan is happy to see you back." Emi welcomes the arrival of Arumi. Then help Hinana stand up and pick up the dress that had been soaked by Hinana's tears.

Hinana was just speechless yet could say a word. He still could not believe what he heard from Ren.

"Hinana drink a little, and try to tell me what just happened." Tsubaki brought Hinana a cup of oolong tea.

This time Sawako had already come and patted Hinana's shoulder gently. He also knew that if there was a problem Hinana would be difficult to say.

"Ren kun."

"Ren kun came this morning, he said that later I would only embarrass Koizumi's name" Hinana said stammeringly.

"I don't know anything about design or anything. But I want to do something for Ren." Hinana.

Hinana's friends were stunned to hear what Hinana said. Just this time he also saw Hinana crying because of someone.

"What Ren has returned?" Pekik Emi's.

Emi did know Ren at High School, his nature is much different from Ren who met after from Paris.

Ren used to have a rough mouth and no interest in making friends. But after his return from Paris Ren turned into a cheerful person never again cursed others.

Jouji heard all of Hinana's stories from under the stairs. He felt guilty for Hinana. But he also feels grateful that Ren no longer hides his true nature. Jouji also wants to see his son angry, sad and disappointed without having to pretend.

"Ohaiou. It's good to see you guys together again." Greet Jouji with a smile and pretend not to know.

"Ohaiou." Answer everyone with respect.

"Did something happen?"

"Hem's just a little problem and we'll solve it." Answer Emi.

"Thank God. Mina san ganbatte (spirit for everyone)." said Jouji to encourage the team Hinana. It was with pleasure that everyone smiled at Jouji including Hinana.
