"Hinana Arizawa.." call Sawako and run over to Hinana.

"yes. What's wrong Miss Sawako?." Hinana stopped because only this time someone called her by her last name.

"oh, it's true that it's you. Thank goodness."

"can I help you?"

"you forgot about me, I'm Sawa you used to call me Sawa. You're Hinana Arizawa's top model Tokyo 2018 right?"

"Yes you're right but I've let go of my profession, you know me before?" ask Hinana who is a little curious.

"of course, my brand always uses you as its model. Don't you remember it? I always come to pick you up and offer you some clothes to advertise." explained Sawako.

"really? I'm sorry I don't remember it because all that set up the cooperation first was my reprimand." Hinana remembers a little because there are so many clothing brands that often Hinana comes.

"you have some time, can we have a little chat in the cafe. I'm glad I could work with you."

"now? I'm sorry but there's still so much to do."

"later afternoon after work, oh yeah give me your new contacts." Sawako gives her phone and Hinana gives her a new phone number.

"i'll call you again Hinana. I'll wait for the afternoon at the cafe."

"alright." Hinana then returned to her room after saluting Sawako.

"do you know Miss Sawako?" Shota suddenly appeared in front of Hinana.

"that's it, but Miss Sawako said that she'd worked with me before."

"good thing I think our company can also cooperate with him, I'm counting on you Hinana."

"well I will work hard" said Hinana then continue her work.

At exactly five o'clock Hinana was doing her job and was going home. Hinana opened a message from Sawako who was waiting for her and then immediately headed to the parking lot.

"Miana..."

"Hinana wait for me..

"Hinana.." cried Ren and tried to follow Hinana's car.

Hinana doesn't realize that she left Ren, she sees Ren in her rear-view mirror but doesn't care about him. Because of his promise with Sawako makes him forget that Ren went to the office with her.

"sorry for a long wait." Hinana approached Sawa who was sitting in the chair next to the window.

"it's okay that I came early on purpose, what do you want to eat Hinana?"

"no need, sorry I can not linger" said Hinana who actually still avoids others.

"Ah well I order you orange juice." Sawako then ordered two orange juices to the waiter who came.

"so what can I help you with?" ask Hinana immediately.

"nothing really matters, I'm glad to see you again. How are you doing with Yukiatsu." Sawako's question made Hinana's heart feel pierced by a sword many times. So long Hinana harbored it and now disturbed again.

"already done. Sorry Sawako if there's nothing important I have to go." replied Hinana briefly.

"wait a minute, Hinana, I'm sorry to surprise you but hearing you're out of the modeling world leaves all clothing brands disappointed. But I'm glad I could work with you again."

"hem, I've apologized to all of them."

"do you not want to come back?"

"sorry Miss Sawako, if our conversation has nothing to do with Koizumi Clothes I have to go." Hinana began to be unable to hold back her emotions and then said goodbye.

At night Hinana was home, she was still thinking about Sawako's words. Actually Hinana still likes modeling just too painful if in the walk.

"Em Ren" Hinana said as she looked at Ren from above her room. Then Hinana came down to Ren.

"you have the heart of Hinana leaving me."

"sorry I forgot you."

"i took the busway, you know I've never been on it all this time so I missed three stops from my destination. And I walked all the way to your house because I didn't have enough money." Ren explained at length with a breath that went up and down because he was tired.

Seeing Ren's complaining like a child made Hinana laugh a little.

"all right I'm sorry, come in. I'll get you a drink."

Ren followed her from behind. Hinana's smile that has never been seen so far, makes Ren's heart pound more and more. Her small laugh made Hinana even more beautiful.

"drink."

"thank you, Hinana" Ren said, clutching his chest. Ren still felt that his heart was beating faster than usual.

"are you okay?"

"hem." Ren just nodded trying to calm down.

"i'll go now, thanks for the drink" Ren said, then hurried off.

The atmosphere in the office.

"Miss Hinana come to my room." Shota suddenly approached Hinana.

"fine." replied Hinana then tidied up her work and approached Shota.

"Hinana stay away from Ren." said Shota when Hinana was in her room.

"what do you mean?"

"don't go near Ren, you're just putting him in danger." Shota clarified her words to Hinana.

"was it because of yesterday, Ren who got lost on the busway?" hinana replied seeing that Ren was not on her desk.

"you heard that Hinana had never been on a busway, and walked a kilo meter. You know what's going on...." Shota stopped his words.

"if you're worried as a sister you should prevent it, and you also know who's approaching. Sorry if it has nothing to do with my work. And take good care of your sister." said Hinana then out of the Director's room.

"is there a problem with Hinana?" ask Emi when she sees Hinana.

"nothing is."

"alright."

After work Hinana will go to Niseko, she really misses playing ice skating.

"Hinana." call Ren and get close to Hinana.

"why are you here?"

"uh what's wrong, I see people playing."

"you don't work but you're here" said Hinana, irritated and wearing her gloves.

"i was a little tired this morning."

"the basics are weak." muttered Hinana but Ren could still hear her.

"you're gonna play ice skating?"

"of course, if I leave first" said Hinana then left.

Hinana enjoyed it so much, the cold snow made her heart happy. Although he had not played for a long time but Hinana still remembered his technique.

While there Ren still sees people playing ice skating. Hinana's gaze was fixed on Ren, it seemed that Ren was not as cheerful as usual. Hinana had never seen the grim Ren until Hinana fell down.

"Aw." said Hinana. Ren who saw Hinana fall immediately approached but there was a partition separating.

"are you okay, Hinana?"

"it's okay, it's fun for Ren" Hinana said with a laugh. And it made Ren fixated until his heart beat faster.

"really thank goodness."

"you don't want to play? It's really fun."

"no, I can't."

"i'll teach you."

"it's very exhausting. I can't."

"just for a minute, it won't make you tired. Just gliding on the edge. Try Ren." take Hinana.

"Hinana called my name, really?" say Ren in the heart so that makes Ren's cheeks flushed.

"Ren, would you like to try it?" ask Hinana and bring Ren back to life.

"alright but just for a moment, I'll take the equipment first."

"hem all right."

Hinana helps Ren wear a safety belt, without realizing Hinana begins to open herself up to socialize with others. Then Hinana teaches Ren to walk on the ice floor even though Ren is still holding on to the guardrail.

"want to slide?"

"ah no-no that's scary."

"i'll take care of you, let's slide along." take Hinana and pull Ren's hand.

Ren smiled with satisfaction as this was his first time doing it, and Ren also saw Hinana laughing happily.

"i finished Hinana, thanks for teaching me."

"no problem, are you exhausted?"

"little."

"all right let's have some hot chocolate, I'm tired too."

"hem." Ren nodded and followed Hinana walking.
