Part 18: Dejected

Nowaki is not working today due to exams. He studies tremendously every night since November but lately he has been putting off his studies due to his stress from Hiroki's health. He texted Hiroki about how he will be unable to see him today due to the exams and that he wishes him to the best of luck with the examination for Hiroki. Hiroki was not much of a texter but he still replies whenever he decides to check his phone. Right before he enters the exam room, he text Hiroki about what he is about to do.

"This is it! Hope I don't fail (/.|)"

Moments later Hiroki replied which surprises Nowaki in great disbelief. He would never imagine Hiroki to reply so fast. Usually it'll take him hours to reply.

"Good Luck"

A small smile happens to creak up to Nowaki's lips. He turns off his phone and feels confident that he will pass those exams. This is one step forward in achieving his goals. Nothing can stop him now.

A few hours later he finishes all his tests. They were rather simple for the tall man. He was confident that he would pass. As he left the building, he turned his phone on hoping his beloved Hiro-san text him about the report on his examinations with the doctor.

The tall man looked at his phone for a few minutes until he realizes Hiroki didn't text him. Feeling dejected he put his phone in his pocket and went home to rest.

'What if Hiro-san examination didn't go well?'

The tall man ponders this question all night.
