'Saito, how's Sugihara-san doing?' Miss Sim asked, when she have came back the next day. Hiroyuki's fist have directly hit the toilet's mirror, and his hand started bleeding profusely. 'Saito! What are you doing?!' Miss Sim shouted, as she ran towards Hiroyuki, and grabbed his wrist, before bringing him towards the nurse to get his wound dressed.


On the way back to Aiko's ward, Miss Sim have sternly asked why did Hiroyuki did such a thing. Hiroyuki remained silent, and Miss Sim probe further on. 'Saito, you're the one who's asking for my help. If you don't tell me, I won't help you anymore!'


Hiroyuki's eyes widened, and he grabbed onto Miss Sim's shoulders. 'NO! Anything but that, please! Miss Sim! YOU NEED TO HELP AIKO!'


'Tell me, what's wrong?' Mis Sim assured Hiroyuki, before pushing him down onto the chair.


'Aiko, she.. she,' Saito mumbled, before tears started to flow down from his eyes continously. 'She was diagnosed with a stomach cancer too,'


Miss Sim's eyes widened. 'Wait!? So.. it's brain tumour, and stomach cancer?'


'It seemed that the brain is affecting her other part of her bodies. If they don't hurry to do the operation, she.. might die any moment,'


'But...! It's too risky!'


'But we have no choice! And.. the cancer in the stomach, it's going to be turning negative soon!' Saito cursed and swore. 'Why is it her?'


Miss Sim stood at the door, unable to believe that one of her student is facing death so soon, and then, Miss Sim never came back to visit her. 


Few weeks later, Miss Sim got worried, and she decided to stop by the hospital once again. It was then she realized that now, in the hospital, was Hiroyuki, and Aiko lying on the beds. Aiko's face colour have returned, and Hiroyuki was pale. 'Dr Chen!' Miss Sim stopped the doctor, and asked him what on earth happened, during the times when she didn't come to visit. 


'After you left, Saito was left to make the decision. It took him days, before we found out that the cancer cells are attacking Sugihara's liver. Her liver was damaged in a short span on one day. Hiroyuki's bone marrow have suited hers, and he was willing to do a transplant. He will wake up soon, and we did a brain operation on Sugihara as well, so.. she will be awake soon, don't worry too much,' 


Miss Sim stammered. When she realized Hiroyuki was waking up, she hurriedly left. She couldn't face Hiroyuki, neither Aiko anymore. She forsaken them, and she felt guilty. 

"So.. after that, you didn't know what happened to Aiko, nor Saito?" Riko asked. Miss Sim nodded her head, as she looked down to her watch, and realized she was pressed for time. "I need to go, and I'm so sorry," Miss Sim stood up, and left. Chinen, Yuto and Yamada were listening the whole while, and Riko looked at Chinen. A tear drop from his eyes. "Chii?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I.." Chinen muttered, wiping away his tears. Slowly, tears started flowing down from his eyes, and he broke out into a cry. "Sorry. I .. I just feel very hurt, and.. upset, I don't know why.." Chinen muttered, trying to stop himself from crying. Riko sighed, "I understand.."

Riko,Chinen,Kento, Yuto and Yamada decided to go back to their apartment to rest for the day, before they find out where is Aiko currently at. But Riko should know- Singapore General Hospital. Opening the gate, Chinen, Yuto and Yamada entered. Just when Riko wanted to enter the house, a force pulled her back, and someone's hand was around her neck, with a knife beside her face.

Yuto,Yamada and Kento have screamed for Riko, and Chinen was stood there, immobolized.

"Don't you dare snatch Riko from me!" the voice shouted. Riko etched her eyebrows, and turned back.

It was none other than Kusaka Hayato.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Kento shouted. Hayato's eyes landed onto Kento, and he squinted his eyes, before hissing into Riko's ears, "In what way is he better than me!?"

"He's way better than you! He don't treat me like this! He never strangle me like this!" Riko screamed, her tears flowing down from her eyes. Hayato dropped the knife, and fall to his knees. Kento have rushed over, and hugged Riko into his embrace. Yuto and Yamada rushed in front of the pair, and Chinen still stood there, looking at the scene revealing in front of him.

Riko was crying hard in Kento's chest, and Kento slowly patted her head. "It’s okay, everything is over now, there is nothing to worry about, I am here,”


Chinen fell to his knees, while he grabbed onto the door gate. Scenes flashed pass his head, and a certain girl was in front of him, smiling. Just that, her face was black, and he couldn't see who is it. 


"Riko, I.. I'm sorry," Hayato mumbled, which made Riko to soften her cry, and peeped out of Kento's chest to look at Hayato. "I.. I just.." 


"GO away!" Riko screamed, her tears flowing down. "Why are you pestering me when years back you didn't even tell me of your feelings?! Do you know it hurts waiting like this!? It even hurts more when I..." she stopped, and turned, ".. see you.." 


Hayato struggled to get up from the floor, and without saying anything, he left.
