Snow In December
94 Welcome Tokyo

^^^"For a long time I never realized that the people beside me cared about each other. One year ago when I left Tokyo, I thought that I wanted to live the rest of my life. But when I meet them, I want to feel happiness together."(Hinana arizawa)

Hinana takes Tsubaki to the hospital, but they do not meet Ren because he has returned home in the afternoon.

Eventually they come to Ren's house and meet Jouji, Ren's father.

"Welcome. What's the night at my house?" greet Ren who approached Hinana and Tsubaki, and let him enter the house.

"There's something we want to talk about, is Jouji san there?" answer Hinana who bluntly and follow Tsubaki. But Ren is holding Hinana.

"Are you going to talk to my dad if I'm going to Tokyo?" Ren's whisper right in Hinana's ear, of course, made Hinana very surprised because the distance with Ren was very close.

"Of course." Hinana tries to rebuff but Ren's grip is stronger and holds Hinana back and corners the wall.

Tsubaki comes in because she feels Hinana and Ren are out for too long.

"Why are you guys so long." Tsubaki slightly shouted and made Ren release Hinana.

"Sorry, hey what do you want to talk about?" reply Ren and immediately invite Tsubaki in, he still signals Hinana not to say anything to her father.

Tsubaki and Hinana finally meet Jouji in the guest room. But Ren's eyes were still sharp looking at Hinana. Tsubaki spoke to Jouji.

"Jouji san, I want to tell you. About the festival Ren's going away." Tsubaki said with a slight tremble.

"About that, let Ren rest first, he's also out of the hospital this afternoon."

"I told you that Ren was leaving. Anoo I mean. My word is not to ask permission. Jouji san must know what I mean." Tsubaki immediately cut off Jouji's words and continued with his point.

Jouji looked at his son, while Ren remained silent. Ren plans to leave even though his parents won't let him.

"I told you, focus on your health" Jouji told his son.

"It's late at night that I've coughed, Oi you guys go home soon." Ren stood up and ignored the advice of his father. He seemed unconcerned because of course his father could not allow it.

"Renchiro." call Jouji with emphasis. And at that moment Ren stopped his steps. All this time his father had never called out his full name, but this time it was possible that his father was really angry with him.

"Jouji san, sorry if I bother you guys at night. But maybe Jouji san has the best advice. I mean maybe Ren can go to Tokyo and there's an alternative that can make Ren okay as long as he's there" Hinana said.

"I know what's best for my son, thank you for telling me. You two can go home, sorry."

Jouji answered while Ren stood up without looking at Tsubaki or Hinana.

Since the situation was already a bit awkward, Tsubaki invited Hinana to leave. But before that they say goodbye to Jouji and Ren.

"Aoyama Eh? What are you doing here?" hinana and Tsubaki said simultaneously when they saw Aoyama in front of Ren's house.

"Seto sensei told me to give this to Mr. Jouji." Aoyama casually showed off the brown envelope to Hinana and Tsubaki.

"What's wrong?" aoyama asked as she looked at the expressions of her two friends who were a little sad.

"There's nothing, then I go home first." replied Hinana, he also invited Tsubaki to leave immediately.

"Sokka (that's it)." Aoyama muttered and stepped on his feet.

...-----------------------...

The next day Hinana met her friends who were already at the station.

"Hinana, come here." Arumi waved her hand at Hinana.

"Did you come from earlier?" ask Hinana.

"Not really." Arumi shook her head and brought her things.

"Where are the others?"

"Tsubaki and Emi are waiting inside, I'm deliberately waiting for you outside."

"Truely, it seems like I'm the one who always comes late." Hinana patted her own lidad.

"Finally you two came too, Hinana because you didn't bring any stuff so please bring the dress" Emi said happily welcoming Hinana's arrival.

"You all weren't waiting for me?"

The sound of someone's voice was very familiar, so it made them all glance towards the source of the sound.

"Ren." screeched Emi, Arumi and Tsubaki in surprise. But soon he saw the figure of Aoyama who had just appeared with a face that was so sour.

"Aoyama." cried Hinana who also saw.

"We're leaving together, aren't we?" ren said and smiled at everyone.

Tsubaki immediately approached Ren and hugged him..

"You're so stubborn."

"Not really, my father allowed it anyway" Ren replied

"Eh seriously? How come?" ask Tsubaki.

"Secret." Ren smiled then walked towards the carriage as the train stopped.

"Hinana, come." call Ren when he sees Hinana still silent with the dress she was carrying.

A smile on Hinana's lips when she saw Ren was back to how he was. He was happy to see Ren wearing a shirt outfit with a white flat cap on his head.

"Should I help you." asked Aoyama.

"No need, but why are you coming too?"

"Ask the man in the white hat." Aoyama answered and walked ahead of Hinana.

Soon Hinana also got into the train.

During the trip they all seemed very happy and took pictures of each other perpetuating memories. Except for Aoyama, he was busy opening his laptop whatever he was doing.

After a long journey, they all arrived in Tokyo. They will stay at Jouji's house in Shibunya.

"Tokyo can finally get here." Shouted Arumi happily, while the four people only chuckled.

"Hey Arumi it seems like your dream of coming to Tokyo has been achieved." Emi replied with a laugh.

"Of course, let's take a picture." take Arumi and take selfies with his five friends.

"All right, let's just split up here" said Hinana saying goodbye to her friends because she lives in her parents' house.

"Do you need me to take you?" Ren offers himself to call Hinana.

"Oy then who will take us to your house." Tsubaki shouted and Ren chuckled as he scratched his head.

"I can go home by myself, tomorrow I'll go to your place. You can send me the location." said Hinana.

"Jaa ne (bye)." Ren and Aoyama salute Hinana.

"Eh Aoyama also lives in Ren's place?" hinana asked as early as she was surprised, because Hinana had told her that her mother wanted to meet.

"Hum, because of my job. Later if there's free time I'll go to aunt's house."

"Wakatta (well)."

"Jaa ne Hinana (bye)." Aoyama then follows Ren and the others who walk first.

Hinana takes a taxi to go home to her parents.
