Chapter 56 Missing You Already

Ichika's POV

The Next Day

Leo/need was at the train station, and we were saying goodbye to our friends and family before we left for our tour.

"Waaaaaaaaah", Shizuku cried out as she held onto Shiho. "Shii-Chan! I'm going to miss you so much!"

"Onee-San", Shiho whined as she tried to get out of her sister's grasp. "Please let me go!"

While this was going on, I watched as Saki said goodbye to Toya.

"It seems like every summer break we end up being separated", she pointed out sadly.

"Yes", Toya said, before grabbing onto her hands. "But it's okay, Saki. We'll be together again before you know it."

After Toya said this, Saki smiled before giving him a hug.

"I don't mean to interrupt this romantic moment", Tsukasa started, resulting in Saki and Toya pulling away from each other. "But don't I get a hug too?"

"Of course", Saki replied, before giving Tsukasa a hug. "I'm going to miss you, Onii-Chan!"

"I'm going to miss you too, Saki", Tsukasa said, before pulling away from the hug. "Please take good care of yourself, okay?"

"You worry too much, Onii-Chan", Saki stated. "I'll be fine! I promise!"

After Saki said this, Tsukasa turned to look at me.

"Guess this is goodb…"

Before I could finish…Tsukasa pulled me into a hug.

"Goodbye, Ichika", he said. "I love you."

After Tsukasa said this, tears started falling from my eyes…before I wrapped my arms tightly around him.

Then, I broke away when I heard a noise.

I looked up…and saw that our train had arrived.

"I'd better get going", I said sadly as I pulled away from Tsukasa, but I still held onto his hand.

"I hope you enjoy yourself while you're on tour", he said. "And Ichika? Please look after Saki for me."

"I will", I replied.

"Ichika", Shiho called out to me. "The train is about to leave!"

With that…I gave Tsukasa a sad look.

Then…I pulled my hand away from his, and I got onto the train.

The doors closed…and I watched as Tsukasa slowly disappeared from my sight.

Then, I sighed sadly.

"Ichika-Chan", Honami started. "Are you okay?"

"I don't know why I'm upset", I admitted as I wiped away a stray tear. "I mean, we're only going to be apart for a few weeks."

Maybe you're upset because this is a taste of what's soon to come.

When this thought popped into my head, I quickly shook it to get it out.

"Anyway", I started. "Lets go sit down."

With that, we all went to our seats.

"Cheer up, Ichi-Chan", Saki started. "Before you know it, you'll be with Onii-Chan again!"

"I know", I said. "I'm sorry everyone. This is our first tour. This should be a happy moment."

"It's okay, Ichika-Chan", Honami said before grabbing onto my hand. "We understand."

"Lucky for you", Saki started. "I know the perfect thing to distract you!"

"Which is", I asked.

"Planning all the things we're gonna do while on tour!"
