Snow In December
72 Yuki (snow)

The beautiful night atmosphere of course makes people want to enjoy the night in spring. Although it is spring but in Hokkaido the air is still cold. Tsubaki and Shota appear to be getting into a nightclub remembering a tired school assignment.

"Yo this time are you going to take your father's identity?" tsubaki asked jokingly.

"Of course not, I'm 30 years old. After all it was all your crazy idea." Shota responded and then embraced her friend in.

"But you agree with my plan."

"of course. I want to order wine today. How's yours?" tanya Shota then takes Tsubaki to the bar.

"As far as you are. Shota kun wait for a moment." said Tsubaki then approached a girl in a red shirt who was sitting in a corner seat.

"Hinana." call Tsubaki who approaches her.

"Yuki's."

"So you're really drunk" said Tsubaki, then he saw three bottles of champagne on Hinana's desk. As Hinana was about to pour the champagne again Tsubaki quickly held her back.

"Yamette (stop). Hinana be aware." Tsubaki started raising her voice due to the rumbling sound of the music.

"Yu chan why are you yelling at me? You have never been rude to me all this time." said Hinana with tears flowing.

"Oi realize Hinana I'm not the Yu you mean." for being confused Tsubaki could only scratch her head without itching. While Hinana propped up her chin on the table and called out Yukiatsu's name.

"I ordered table number three, let's go..... Is he really Hinana?" Shota who approached Tsubaki was immediately surprised to see Hinana who was drunk.

"He was drunk."

"Huh, how could it?" ask Shota who is astonished.

"Three bottles of champagne certainly got him drunk" Tsubaki replied and took one still intact bottle to return. "He's delirious to call me Yuki."

"Looks like a heavy drunk, let's get you home." Shota begins to ask Hinana to stand up but her phone rings. "Damn who else. Wait a minute." said Shota then pulled over to answer the phone that turned out to be from his father.

"Hey Hinana, why are you doing it alone?"

"Yukiatsu." reply Hinana abrsud.

"Can you say anything other than Yukiatsu?" Ask Tsubaki and massage her forehead.

"Yu chan." Hinana answered standing up and lying down again.

"Basically, drunk people are always a bitch."

"Hey Tsubaki I'm sorry I had to take my father to the hospital. Please take Hinana home." Shota approached Tsubaki with a slightly panicked face.

"Wait, me? Hey I don't know where to live."

"I'm in a hurry, he lives in Sapporow Town's apartment. Jaa mata (meet you)." Shota left immediately from nightfall, while Tsubaki directly drove Hinana to her car.

"Hey Hinana I don't know you very well. But all this time I've never seen you drink to a hangover, Doshite (why)?" ask Tsubaki while driving.

"I miss you Yukiatsu." replied Hinana slutting.

"I told you my name wasn't Yukiatsu. My name is Tsubaki, Tsu-ba-ki."

"Eh, you're not Yukiatsu?"

"I've said many times stupid." said Tsubaki growled.

"Where is Yukiatsu?"

"Come on, why are you asking me? Even his face I never knew. Hinana we're in front of your apartment. Can you go back alone?" tsubaki asks but Hinana is asleep in her car.

"You're just a hassle." Tsubaki complains and holds Hinana up to her apartment. While in the lobby he saw a familiar figure then called out to him.

"Oi Aoyama." call Tsubaki and before long the man turns to her.

"What's wrong?"

"Why him?"

"He's drunk." Tsubaki answered and handed Hinana over to Aoyama.

"That's weight!! " queak Aoyama. "How can he be with you?"

"I accidentally met him at night. Okay, I'll take my leave first. Jaa mata." After handing Hinana over to her friend Tsubaki and leaving.

"Why are you drunk? Basic troublesome." thoughtlessly then Aoyama brought Hinana to Hinana's own apartment.

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

The next day Hinana woke up with a very heavy head. He does not remember what happened last night, finding himself already in his apartment room makes a long thought worth it. All I remember was when Hinana went out late at night and ordered a bottle of champagne.

"I'll be late again. Be good." said Hinana then set foot into the bathroom.

When walking to the parking lot he just remembered that his car was left behind at night. He didn't want to have to take the bus. Hinana exhaled in annoyance while riding the busway because there were so many passengers and could not sit.

"Ohayou, sorry I'm late." Hinana said when she got to work.

"Ohayou, no need to ask again Hinana is often late" Emi replied.

"Oi, aren't you drunk anymore?" tsubaki asked but Hinana was very surprised to be caught drunk by Tsubaki, not only Hinana who was surprised Ren was also surprised to hear it.

"How did you know?" ask Hinana and approach her.

"You still don't remember? I'm the one who drove you home. You always say Yukiatsu's name until it's hot in my ear." Tsubaki explained everything.

Hearing Yukiatsu's name made Hinana remember what happened last night. It was true that he thought about it until he was drowning in grief.

"You still thinking about that son of a bitch?" Ask Aoyama and stand up from her position.

"It's just that you ran away here thinking about that guy." Aoyama advised Hinana.

"Shut up, you think it'll be that easy to forget? Five years with him is not a little time." Hinana yelled a little to answer Aoyama, but her gaze was fixed on Sawako. He knew that when he heard Yukiatsu's name, not only was he injured, but Sawako too.

"I think you're starting to like someone again?" aoyama.

"Indeed, but my feelings are unrequited. So I still feel like Yu Chan. For me and Yukiatsu you don't know anything so don't interfere. Gomenne." without feeling her tears began to flow as Hinana explained. Aware his friends saw him Hinana immediately came out and headed to the rooftop.

"You're right, it's not that easy to forget. The time that revolves around being with our loved ones feels very long. So how could you forget it so easily". Aoyama said in his heart.

Hearing what Hinana explained made Ren's heart feel pierced by a knife. He felt that what he had done for Hinana had been in vain. Ren decides to chase after Hinana but his steps are stopped because he sees Shota has run first.

"Sawako genki desuka? (are you okay)." asked Ren as if to take his eyes off.

"Hum genki." replied Sawako but a bitter smile was seen at the corner of her lips.

"Ne Sawako chan how are we going to start the review later? I mean, where's the view that's right for the camera?" Arumi immediately turned her attention so that the atmosphere was not awkward.

"I think facing west, oh yes make sure when your review does not need to mention your work that has been plagiarized so that there is no dispute." Sawako replied and then directed the plan tomorrow. Arumi faced towards Ren with a smile as if telling her not to bring it up again.

While Hinana who was still remembered made her feelings hurt again. He took the necklace in the shape of a snowflower he was wearing, then threw it.

"I'm sorry Tsubaki can't keep her mouth shut." Said Shota who approached him.

"It's not Tsubaki's fault, I can even remember when Tsubaki spelled her name in front of me" Hinana replied.

"I'm relieved to see you again, so Tsubaki really drove you safely."

"Why do you know?"

"Because Tsubaki's late night with me, but I'm sorry I couldn't take you home because I had to help Ren get home." Shota replied then headed to the chair.

"Gomenne worries you. You saw me drunk last night, didn't you?"

"It's okay. There are times when our bodies are very weak, and it takes entertainment to get back on with this bitter life."
