Snow In December

..."It doesn't matter if I'm not tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day to come. To be able to see you and be with you today I am so grateful"...

...(.(.Ren Koizumi's)...

...******************************************...

As the night grew late, Ren finally took Hinana home in a taxi.

"Jaa Mata." said Hinana and waved at Ren when he arrived in front of his apartment building.

Ren returns Hinana's hand and closes the window, because the taxi he is riding in will walk to his house.

When she reached her apartment, Hinana opened her laptop and accessed the Tokyo festival website.

There have been twenty-three contestants who reviewed the work, the last remaining Koizumi team.

Suddenly his eyes were shocked when he saw the news about his best friend Nanami. With hesitation, Hinana pointed the cursor and started clicking on news links about it.

...******************...

The next day Hinana woke up with a compress that had stuck to her head. He looked at the clock and it looked like it was 10 in the morning.

"Gosh, I'm late." Hinana screams, but her head hurts a lot when she sits down. He opened his phone and there was a message coming in from Ren.

Ren

Hinana Chan, you can rest first if you get sick. Don't worry about us. Okey.

He saw that next to the table there was already some medicine and a glass of water.

"It turns out there's a point to adopt Aoyama as well." muttered Hinana then slowly headed for the kitchen.

How surprised Hinana when she saw the dining table is already available sandwich, glass of milk and rib soup. It felt like winning the lottery, even though last night something had happened that made his heart ache.

Either way, Hinana's body felt very weak, so she decided to listen to the music on the audio and lay down on the sofa.

TING TONG'S...

I heard someone push the doorbell of the apartment.

"Have you had dinner?" asked Aoyama who was standing at the door.

"Not yet, I just woke up."

"It." Aoyama gave a box of bento to Hinana then left without saying anything.

"Eh!! Arigato." Shouted Hinana but what was seen was only Aoyama's back.

Seeing Aoyama's good demeanor, he is increasingly convinced that the one who treated Hinana during her illness was Aoyama. The prescription medication on the table also reads the name of the hospital where Aoyama works.

Because of boredom finally Hinana went for a short night walk.

"Hinine." Call Shota who is seen standing next to the stop. Slowly approaching Hinana.

"Where are you going?" shota asked as she was next to Hinana.

"I'm just going for a walk, what about you?"

"Done to meet Arimura." Answer Shota briefly.

"Oh. Have you made up for him? It seems Arimura loves you very much." Hinana.

"I don't want to talk about it anymore. Actually, I've been throwing my feelings away for her for a long time."

"Is it because of Ren?" Hinana's question made Shota pause for a moment.

"No." replied Shota with a slight hesitation, then gave a can of beer to Hinana.

"I also want to feel that kind of love. How it feels to be missed by someone who loves me.

How does it feel to be grieved by someone who loves me.

And what it feels like to be loved sincerely. I want to feel it." Hinana then sipped her beer.

"Didn't you feel it before?" shota asked as if to comfort Hinana.

"No, I felt a very bad first love. From the beginning the man did not love me, but pretended. Eventually, they cancelled the wedding. Then I fell in love with someone else, do you know how it goes?" Hinana said as if asking Shota.

"Emm not really." Answer Shota.

"I feel like my love is clapping one hand again." Hinana replied with a small laugh.

"Eh why do you think that? Why not make sure you can express your love. But if you want to."

"I've said it."

"HUH." Shota was surprised by Hinana's words.

"I said I said it. But he didn't answer. He asked me out on a date once. But...." Hinana began to doubt because she remembered Ren's words at that time.

At that time Hinana was arguing with Ren on the roftoop because she felt that Ren was avoiding her.

"All right, you're deliberately avoiding me" Ren said.

"You avoid me. You asked me out on a date and then you didn't say anything. You didn't say it hurt either." Hinana shouted to Ren.

" really? Then forget if we ever dated. Forget I ever asked you out."

"HUH." Hinana is shocked because Ren suddenly tells her to forget. It felt like it was flying in the high sky, then it fell to the ground.

"Forget over. Let's just say you never dated me." Ren explained then left Hinana.

"Shota kun, thank you for being such a good listener." Hinana is reluctant to continue the story, as it hurts too much if she remembers it. For him, being with Ren for now was already better.

"Everything will be fine Hinana." Shota immediately hugged Hinana then rubbed her head gently.

Just then Ren who was passing by brought food for Hinana. Seeing her brother hugging the person she loves hurts a lot.

Ren had not only seen it once, this had been many times. At that time he also saw Hinana hugging Shota while coming out of the restaurant. Her heart was so shaken, why her love story had to compete with her brother. She loves Hinana very much but she also doesn't want to see her sister let go of her feelings. Just like when Shota gave Arimura away for him.

Tiiiii.......Thiiiiit

"Ren kun." Hinana muttered and then took off Shota's embrace.

"What's Hinana?" ask Shota.

"I feel like I heard Ren's bracelet."

"Me too, but there's no way Ren's because his bracelet is broken" said Shota, knowing that when Ren slammed his smartband.

"Ah you're right too, Shota kun I have to go home now. I don't want to be late tomorrow." Hinana says goodbye to Shota.

"Wakatta (okay), tomorrow I will also come to help you. Ashita Hinana's eyes." Said Shota waving her hand then saw Hinana until she actually entered her apartment building.

While Ren is still hiding in a narrow alley, and makes sure if Shota really leaves his place. He took off his smartband and set his breath.

But it felt really painful until Ren finally fell on the ground. He tried to stand up and wanted to leave the place. Every three steps Ren always falls, it feels like he really can't walk anymore.

"Hey, are you drunk? At least call your family if you're drunk."

Ren heard a male voice and kicked his body. Then with all his might he turned his body and asked for help.

"Sensei, watashi o tasuketekudasai (Doctor, please help me)." Ren said with a heavy voice.
