Ring... ring...

"Hello. This is Misaki-kun," answer Misaki.

"Misaki-kun, this is Aikawa. I had passed your note to Usami-sensei," said Aikawa.

"Thank you, Aikawa-san. Um... Aikawa-san, did he suspect anything when you passed him the note?"

"I think he did suspect a bit when he ate the dish you cooked for him."

"Then..."

"Don't worry, Misaki-kun. I didn't tell him that it was you who prepared the omu-rice."

"Thanks. I'm sorry for bothering you, Aikawa-san."

"Don't worry. You're not a bother. It's just a simple errand and beside, I also on my way to check him out. Ne... Misaki-kun, I know you love him and cherished him but have you thought of going back to his side?"

"Aikawa-san... I'm sorry, Aikawa-san. For making you worried about me and him but I won't go back to him anymore. I don't want be a burden to him."

"Misaki-kun..." mumbled Aikawa-san with concerned for the boy and his other half.

"Aikawa-san, I'm sorry but need to hang your now. Goodbye," said Misaki with a smile but tears in his eyes.

"Why Misaki-kun doesn't want to meet Usami-sensei, even though he still cared for him? What actually happened between them few months ago? Misaki-kun, please go back to Usami-sensei side. He just like a zombie without you," thought Aikawa as she sighed.

"Oi, Aikawa, could you please go check out on Usami-sensei to see if he had changes his mind on stopping his career?" said the chief editor.

"But chief, I just check on him this morning and now is only afternoon," complained Aikawa.

"Don't argue with me. Just go. Who knows maybe he had changed his mind. So, you better get going now or there will be more jobs for you," said the chief.

"Fine... I will just go then," said Aikawa.

Ding-dong... ding-dong... ding-dong...

"Geez... What is taking him so long to answer the door? Don't tell me that he went to wait for Misaki-kun again!?" mumbledAikawa as she searched her beg for Akihiko's penthouse key.

*Click*

She pulls the door and shocked to see Akihiko on the floor when she walks into the living room. She quickly rushes to his side to check on him.

"Usami-sensei, can you hear me?" ask Aikawa worried and panicking.

"W-who...? Mi-Misaki, is t-that you?" respond Akihiko before he became unconscious again.

"Sensei... This is serious. Fever and shortness of breath," said Aikawa as she touch Akihiko's forehead.

She took her phone and call for ambulance. While waiting for the ambulance she called Misaki and told him about Akihiko's condition. The ambulance took few minutes to arrive. Akihiko was quickly admitted to the emergency room and she quickly contact Misaki telling him about this matter. The moment Misaki heard about this news, his face went pale and his knee went weak. He immediately pack up his stuff and quickly catch a cab to xx Hospital.

"H-how is him, Aikawa-san?" ask Misaki while he panting for air and wiping away his sweat as he arrived at the hospital.

"He's still unconscious. They say he had high fever and the reason he is gasping for air might due to stress or something else. By the way, are you alright, Misaki-kun," ask Aikawa seeing how tired Misaki was as he panted for air.

"Thank goodness. I'm alright. Just out of breath, that's all."

"He's in the room. He was calling for you when i found him in the apartment just now... and he was gripping this tightly in his hand," said Aikawa as she passed a piece of paper to Misaki.

"I shouldn't have written this... I shouldn't..." mumbled Misaki gripping the paper tightly as tears flows.

"Misaki-kun... It's ok... It is not your fault, Misaki-kun," said Aikawa as she comforts Misaki.

"No... It's my fault. I thought that if I wrote my feelings for him, telling him not to blame himself anymore, he would move on and forget me. But... instead he... I-I'm s-sorry... I-I'm so s-sorry...," cried Misaki.

"Calm down, Misaki-kun... This is not your fault. Stop blaming yourself."

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." apologize Misaki as if he is in some sort of hypnotizing state.

"MISAKI-KUN, LOOK AT ME!" shout Aikawa which stop Misaki from apologizing.

"Misaki-kun, Usami-sensei is fine so stop blaming yourself," she said as she pat on Misaki's head.

"But..."

"Listen to me. You both had a wound in your hearts and this wound will not heal by its own. You must stop thinking that you are a burden to him and avoid him, and he must do the same. For I know, both of you still love each other even now."

"But Aikawa-san, if I stay by his side..."

"No but. Misaki-kun, if you don't stay by his side, Usami-sensei will keep on going to see you from a far, where as you will just avoid him. What's the point of doing so since you both felt the same for each other?" said Aikawa as Misaki silently look down to the floor.

"It's getting late and I need to head back to the company as well. Misaki-kun, you stayed here and take care of sensei, okay," said Aikawa.

"Don't forget what I just told you and think about it, will you. If you don't want to face him by yourself, you can always call me be the middle person," she said as she pat on Misaki's head before heading back to the company.

"Takahashi-kun?" mumble Nowaki as he saw Misaki standing in front of Akihiko's room, hesitating to enter.
