Snow In December

Tomorrow as usual Hinana went to work.

"Onii-san don't forget your provisions."

"thank you Keiko" Hinana said with a smile.

"uh you look happy today, is there anything."

"of course, last night I was satisfied playing ice skating."

"uh but Onii's hand still hurts."

"it's okay it'll heal on its own. Goodbye Keiko." Hinana says goodbye to Keiko and sets out to work together.

Arriving at the office as usual Hinana did her very solid job. Hinana came in and out of the graphic design room into the marketing room.

"come in." said Ren.

"i'm requesting signature approval for a request from Brand Comme des Garcons." Hinana gave me a document.

"alright."

"uh what is that."

"design summer clothes." Ren then showed her the half-finished clothes.

"Kawai.." said Hinana amazed because it looks simple but elegant.

"really?, I made it myself."

"yes. Well thanks for the signature. Excuse me first."

"wait a minute, can you wear it." Ren approached Hinana and handed her the dress.

"sorry I won't do it. Excuse me first." Hinana refused and left.

"why him? Is he good at ice skating" Ren murmured.

"you still approaching him?" asked Shota who had been watching Ren.

"don't worry Shota he's harmless. Shota you can wear this shirt. I want to see where the lack is."

"you're crazy it's a girl's shirt."

"just wear it for a minute."

"just look for a woman."

"you didn't see Hinana rejecting him. I don't want any other woman to wear my work. You didn't forget your promise, did you?" Ren approaches Shota and hands her the shirt.

At lunchtime everyone in the marketing room is shocked by Shota wearing Ren's clothes.

"how? What is lacking" said Ren eagerly showing his work to his friends.

"Shota wants you to get Ren's job" Tsubaki said, laughing.

"hush you." Shota threatens Tsubaki who is still laughing.

Hinana had just returned from the toilet and saw Shota wearing a dress immediately laughing as she could not help it.

Because all this time Shota looks masculine, but seeing Ren's dress looks strange.

Everyone in the room saw Hinana, because it was the first time they saw her.

"Hinana" said a surprised Arumi.

"sorry, I'm really sorry." Hinana tried to hold back her laughter and returned her desk.

Shota who had just seen Hinana smile for the first time made her feel ungodly.

"eh Hinana you can laugh." said Tsubaki.

"how's Hinana?" ask Ren.

"what what?"

"my summer dress design?"

"looks good." replied Hinana withholding her laughter. Hinana looked towards Shota as her eyes looked at Hinana sharp but not as sharp as Ren's gaze.

"let's just say I can show you my work at Tokyo Summer."

"you want to go to the festival."

"of course, that was my last dream because it was only once every five years."

"i know the producer."

"Hey Ren until when will I wear it?" shota shouted in annoyance and made the whole room laugh again as did Hinana.

"sorry you can let go now, but don't get damaged. I'll kill you if one stitch comes off."

"it's up to you" said Shota and left his friends.

"all right let's go eat Ren, we're all hungry." Emi.

"you go first."

"alright, with Ren." Tsubaki and the others leave Ren and Hinana.

"let's eat Hinana." Ren opens his lunch and wants to eat with Hinana.

"you brought lunch."

"of course, my mom and dad are in Japan."

"i used to eat alone but fine because lunch time is almost over."

"i'm asking for your banana." Ren takes Hinana's banana and Hinana quickly hits Ren's hand.

"can't you hit me, I'm your boss."

"you can also be polite, this is half I like banana." Hinana cuts the banana and halves it with Ren.

"thank you, Hinana" said Ren, and ate his lunch.

Shota came out of the room she saw Ren and Hinana eating together. What Hinana said was true that Ren had approached Hinana. But Shota is worried about Ren's situation when he is close to Hinana.

"Mr Shota." said Sawako to the cafe.

"yes Miss Sawako, are you having lunch here?"

"sure, what if we eat together?"

"alright."

"Master Shota may I ask you something."

"just call me Shota when I'm outside, of course."

"it's about Hinana" said Sawako, and Shota stopped her lunch.

"i'm glad to see her back, but Hinana is now so far from what I know. Shota has Hinana been working in your office for a long time?"

"emmm, I don't know. I just moved to Hokkaido for a month."

"eh really? So who's been holding Koizumi Clothes ?"

"oh, this little company belongs to my sister Ren. I'm just here to help because..... Oh yeah, what kind of Hinana you know."

"Hinana is a beautiful girl, not only from the outside but from the inside. Hinana's cheerfulness energizes the spirit of all the crew, including me."

"really? But Hinana's been so tempramental, it sucks that I want to beat her up" Shota said, drinking her soda.

"i'm sure Hinana is strong, at that time everyone thought that Hinana would kill herself. But everyone is wrong, Hinana is a very tough girl. If I were him, maybe I wouldn't be able to and just choose to die." Sawako deeply recounts the figure of Hinana. And Shota saw that Sawako's eyes had become swollen from holding back her tears.

"a week after her wedding, Hinana's ex-boyfriend leaves her and marries her best friend Nanami Takamura. The two people I knew were very familiar with each other, it turned out that there was a betrayal behind it all.

Actually I also liked Hinana's ex-boyfriend back then, but when I found out she was already dating Hinana, I slowly retreated. Hiks Hiks sorry I couldn't help it." Sawako told me everything and cried.

"it's okay. Wear it." Shota gives her handkerchief to Sawako.

"thank you, I'm really sorry." Sawako looked down and wiped her tears.

Shota and Sawako return to her office after lunch. Shota looked at Hinana who was already refocused on her work. Shota vividly recalled the moment Hinana laughed at him.

"God.."

"sorry Mr. Shota" Emi said with a stack of documents.

"there's so much you've brought, I've helped." Shota helps tidy up all the fallen files.

"thank you, Mr. Ren."

"you're taking where all this is."

"Mr Ren asked." Emi brought back a stack of files. Shota saw that all the files regarding the Tokyo Summer Fashion festival.

"let me just take it, I'll go back to the room, too."

"no need..."

"already, continue your work."

"thank you." Emi saluted Shota and went back to her desk again.

Shota walks into the room and Ren is already busy with his computer.

"what does all this mean." Shota somewhat raised the sound and provided a stack of documents.
