After the vacation and the unexpected behavior of Rei, everything became different. It's already class hour but their minds are filled with the event happened at the beach where they held their last vacation.
Ran and Aya are thinking about Rei. They can't believe that Rei can be angry like that. And they felt guilty about it especially Ran because she knew that she was the real reason.
'Will he ever talk to me again?' she asked herself, playing a pencil on her mouth and rocking her chair.
Aya, at the same time, is thinking the same. He reminisced the moment when Rei rescued her from the 3 big guys. "Oh Rei…" she sighed, staring blankly through the window.
On the other hand, Miyu is still thinking about her best friends' affairs with Rei. She still felt lonely, imagining the things that will happen when things started to reveal themselves.
Those things are still occupying their minds. They have been bothered by it each and every second. Will things ever work out for them? Or will things be worst than they are now.
However, in the midst of their daydreaming, suddenly, a loud noise was heard and it they were distracted. And when they turned to the cause of the disturbances, it was actually Ran who fell on her chair because of clumsiness. And they all laugh including the three of them.
Miyu and Aya stared happily at Ran… thinking that… 'If Ran is not with us… then each and everyday will probably be lonely…'
After dismissal time…
"Aaahhhh…" Ran moaned loudly. Then swallowed her hamburger "This is very delicious… it's been a while since I tasted a hamburger… that is when…" she frowned, staring at the hamburger she was holding. She remembered the moment she had with Rei at his apartment when they are trying to make hamburger for their afternoon meal.
"What's cooking Rei…?" She said. She saw a round brown formed meat in a plate. "Hmmm… What's this?" she was about to touch it when Rei slapped her hands.
"Ouch!!!" Ran cried holding her hand that Rei had slapped. She glared at him but there's no guiltiness on his eyes. He even smirked. "Why you….? Why did you do that?" she asked angrily.
"Idiot… Don't you realize that you are about to mess those hamburgers with your dirty hands…." He said then turned to his cooking again. Ran squinted "But you don't have to slap my hand… it hurts so much, can't you see…" she said making him guilty for what he had done.
Suddenly, she felt his hand on hers. She turned to Rei whose eyes are focused on her aching hand. She blushed. Then she felt him rubbing the part where he had slapped. "I'm sorry… I didn't mean to hurt you like that... I never thought that that would be painful for you… I'm sorry…" he said as he caressed her hand gently.
Ran blushed even more. She can't believe it. His soft hand rubbing hers… and it's very gentle. Although, it isn't very painful at all… in fact she never felt any pain when he slapped her hands… she acted only. However, she didn't expect that Rei will care for her this much, so much that her heart is pumping while her hand was being caressed. And it feels good… so good…
'What?' she gulped at her thinking. Rei turned to her, still holding her hand. Their eyes met. They stayed like that for a moment when Ran looked down. "I---i---m gonna make juice okay…" she said then she walked towards the refrigerator. Rei watched her confusedly.
'I must calm myself…' she said as she tightened his grip on the refrigerator's handle. 'Go Ran…' she said to herself. She turned around and met his stare. "Make that hamburger taste good or else… I will pour salt on your juice… got that?" she muttered.
Rei, in confusion, began to smile. "Oh yes… why not?" he said.
Ran smiled as she remembered that moment. She stared at the hamburger. Those moments with him makes her feel happy. She feels happy when she's with Rei. But then, something flashed in her mind. The event happened yesterday at their vacation. She sighed. 'I hope he's alright… I wonder what's he doing by now…'
She rubbed her head. "Oh stop it Ran…" she said to herself then frowned. "… You know that he's mad at you…" then she remembered…
Has anyone asked me about the feelings I had when I'm with Aya… did anyone cared about the sufferings I felt… and do you even asked of whom I wanted to be with…?
Those words are the words that Rei told her back in the beach. They keep on bothering her. '… and do you even asked of whom I wanted to be with…?'
"Oh Rei… what's the meaning of that...?" she said. "I really do want to talk to you… if only I have my cell phone… Aaah… anyway… I need to get back to the classroom before the teacher comes…"
She hurried to the stairway when, suddenly, she heard Aya and Miyu talking. She hid on the wall and eavesdropped on them. She doesn't know why… but there is a feeling that she should know this.
"Miyu…" she heard Aya said. "… Back there in the beach… I realize that Rei really do care about me…" Ran startled. She touched her chest because her heart is like aching or something. She listened even more.
"I never thought that Rei will be mad like that when I got hurt or something. That warmth my heart…" Aya added. Miyu stared at her and listened to her best friend.
Ran wandered on herself 'Is that true...? Is that the real reason on why he is very mad at that time…? Is it because someone's hurting Aya?'
She can't bear it anymore. She feels like crying at that moment. But why? Is she really jealous…?
"That's why I won't give up… because I'm almost there Miyu… and I think Rei had already fallen for me…" she heard Aya said. Miyu gave Aya a forced smile. She can't be sure if that is the real reason because she knew that Rei is in love with Ran and the worst part is… Ran had fallen for him too…
Suddenly, Miyu felt someone's presence. She looked around as her eyes stopped on the stairway, the place where Ran is at the moment. "Miyu?" Aya said when she noticed that Miyu isn't listening. Miyu walked towards the staircase. She followed her. "What's the matter Miyu?" she asked. When Miyu was already in the staircase, she saw nobody.
"Miyu? Is there something wrong?" Aya asked. "No—no—thing…" she replied, but not so sure. "Okay!!! Then let's get going…" and they went off. "… Anyway where is Ran?"
"I don't know… maybe she's already home… she told me that she won't come along with us today because she got important things to do…" Miyu said, she took a glimpse on the staircase where she sensed someone's presence. She feels bothered because she was sure that someone is there, watching and listening to them.
Ran is sitting at a staircase near the park (You know where they usually held their meeting place… I don't know if it is near the park… but anyway… let's get going…).
"I never thought that Rei will be mad like that when I got hurt or something. That warmth my heart… and I think Rei had already fallen for me…"
Ran sighed. "… Is that really true Rei?" She shook her head several times. "Stop it Ran… stop this nonsense… what's happening to you? You shouldn't be thinking like that… you really are very stupid… what do you really care if it is true or not…" she stood. "… I think I should be going and have some fun… Speaking of fun… I haven't seen Tatsuki around… where does that monkey gone to…?" she asked herself.
Then she heard someone calling her. "Sister Ran…" She turned and saw Naoki, Tatsuki's brother.
"Yow!!! Naoki…" she was cut off when she caught him opening his arms to hug him. "Sister Ran…" he shouted. And like his brother, he was stopped by a big punch on his face that sends him to the trash can.
"You two are very alike… and speaking of… where's your brother?" she asked him. Naoki fixed his self and turned to her. "Well… you know Sister Ran… my brother is acting strange this morning. He didn't come down for breakfast and he never came out on his room…"
"Huh!? What's his reason?" she asked.
Naoki looked at her with confusion "Huh!? I thought that you had an argue with him…"
"What? But I haven't spoke to him this morning… and I didn't remember that we argued yesterday… is he sick or something?"
"I don't know… maybe he is… Why don't you call him Sister Ran…"
"Sorry… but I lost my cellphone… Why don't you come with me and see what's your brother doing?" she said.
"Wow… good thinking Sister Ran… come on let's go…"
At Tatsuki's house…
"Well… it's good to have you here future-daughter-in-law…" Tatsuki's mom said. "You know, Tatsuki hasn't come down from his room since morning… why don't you go and check for him…"
"Okay…" she replied.
As she reached Tatsuki's door, she knocked on it. "Hey Tatsuki… open up…" she yelled three times but there is no response. "Tatsuki, you know how impatient I am…" she said as she clenched her fist. And when there is no response again, she kicked the door. The door fell on the ground.
"Wow… that's cool Sister Ran…" Naoki said as he shivered from fear.
They scanned the room but no one is there. "Huh? But he's not here…"
"Huh!? But we never saw him coming down the stair." Naoki implied. They saw the window open. Ran walked towards and looked outside. "I think he climbed down through the window…"
"But why?"
"I think he doesn't want to help in the restaurant for now…" Ran said and laughed.
"But he would never do such thing… my brother is very hardworking… and he always helped mom and dad…" Naoki defended.
Ran thought for a second. 'Yeah… I know Tatsuki… he will never do such thing…' she said to herself. "Let's just say that he's up to something… okay… let's leave your brother… he can take care of himself…" she said and they went out of the room. Not noticing that Tatsuki is hiding behind a large tree. When he heard Ran's voice, he quickly came out of the window and rushed to hide behind the tree. He's not ready to see her yet. He doesn't know how to deal with his feelings for now. And the only thing he could do is to watch her silently with the eyes of a failed love.
"Aaaah… So boring… I can't have fun when I'm all alone… so stupid." Ran said. It's already in the evening. She got home after she went to Tatsuki's house. She never enjoyed anything or had fun today. "Oh yeah… tomorrow's the release of the result for our exam… aah…" She stood from her seat and threw herself on the bed.
"I hope that tomorrow will be a fine day for all of us… especially for me." Then she slept silently.
The morning came and everybody is very excited for the result of the exam. After the dismissal, Ran saw plenty of her classmates in front of the bulletin board where the results are posted. She ran and pushed herself through. "Excuse me… move or I'll kick all your butts…" she yelled. She saw Aya and Miyu in front of the bulletin. "Aya… Miyu…"
The two girls turned to her "Oh Ran… Come here…" they greeted her with a wide grin.
Ran approached her friends. Miyu smiled at her "Look what you've got…" she pointed on where Ran's name is and she got the 7th place. "You got it Ran… you got the 7th place… good job… we can really graduate together…" but before they ended the sentence, Ran is already running away from them.
"Huh! Ran wait…" Miyu shouted but Ran didn't even turn back. "What's up with her?" she asked. "Dunno…" Aya shrugged in reply.
Ran is running at the street and it is very fast as if she was chasing for someone. "I've got to tell him… I've got to tell Rei about it…" she said repeatedly while running towards his apartment. In all of a sudden, she had forgotten about their argument at the beach. She just wanted to see him and tell him all about the exam's result. And she is really excited to see him.
Ran had reached Rei's apartment. She paused for a moment to catch her breath then knocked on the door. She knocked for about three times as the door opened. "Huh!?" but no one did, it is really open. "Stupid Rei… he didn't even lock his door. How careless…" She stepped in. "Rei…" she called but no one answered. "That's odd…" She stepped even more and reached the living room. Then something made her eyes widened. It was Rei on the ground, panting for breath.
"Where in the hell did that Ran go?" Miyu asked as they walk away from their school.
"Yeah… I'm wondering too…" Aya wondered. "… I think she'll tell her family about it… you know… because she'll never leave Shibuya ever again…" she giggled.
Miyu smiled. "Yeah… So now, I'll be heading this way… I'm going to see my Yamato…" she said waving goodbye to Aya.
"Ah… okay. Take care…"
Miyu is very excited to see Yamato again. "I can't wait to tell him that I got the 5th place. I'm sure he'll be happy…" she giggled as she imagined Yamato giving him a kiss. Suddenly, "Huh!?" she gulped when she saw someone familiar sitting on a bench. She moved closer and realized that the man is…
"Tatsuki?"
Ran helped Rei to sit on the sofa. "Rei… lie down… you need to rest." she commanded. She put a hand on his forehead "Oh My! You're so hot. Your fever is very high." She gently pushed the panting Rei on the sofa and helped him lie on it. "I'm going to get hot water and towel. Wait here okay?" she said and went to the kitchen.
Tatsuki turned to Miyu. Miyu saw his anxious face 'What's with the awful face?' she thought in confusion. She approached him "Hey! Tatsuki, what happen? Is there something that matters?" she asked. She heard him sigh. "Tatsuki…" she said with a worried voice.
Tatsuki gave her an unconvincing smile. "Miyu… can I talk to you for a second?" he asked. Miyu nodded and sat beside him. A moment of silence came when Tatsuki began to speak "You're intelligent Miyu… I know you are."
Miyu looked at him confusedly "What do you mean?"
Tatsuki smiled and bowed his head. "You notice everything, didn't you?" he asked.
Miyu's eyebrows met as her heart races with nervousness because she has the feeling that the thing he's talking about is…
"… Rei and Ran?" he added. Miyu's eyes widened.
Ran hurried to the living room with hot water and a towel. She kneeled before the sofa and put the now-wet-towel on Rei's forehead. Rei opened his eyes and stared at Ran. Her eyes are very worried and he doesn't want to see her like that.
He took the towel on his forehead and tried to sit up.
Ran tried to stopped him "Oh Rei, don't… you need to rest. Lie down please…" she said.
Rei shook his head and forced himself to sit. "Oh! Rei…" she uttered and sat beside him. "You need to rest… you're very hot…"
"I know…" he said, staring at her lustfully.
Ran realized what his mind is thinking. "Hey! That's not what I mean…"
Rei smiled, rest his back and closed his eyes. He tried not to pant so that she won't get worried. "It's okay Ran… it's nothing. It's just a fever." he said and forced a smile on his lips.
"Shut up! You're sick and you need to re---" she was cut off when the door bell rang. "Someone's at the door…" she heard him say "… wait here…" he tried to stand but can't, because every move he makes, he pants even more. "No! I'll open the door… wait here okay?"
Ran walked towards the door and slowly opened it. She saw a middle-aged man with an American suit and another two beside him in black American suit. It seems like the one in the middle is their boss and he's very handsome but he looked very familiar to him. 'The other two should be his bodyguards… but why are they here?' she said to herself. "Is there something that I can help you with?"
The man in the middle narrowed his eyes on her "Who are you?" he asked.
"Excuse me… I'm the one who should ask that…" but they stepped in, passing by her without permission to get through. "He---hey!!" she tried to stop them but they just ignored her. The boss stopped at the living room when he saw Rei sitting on the couch. Rei sensed his presence and looked at him. They both exchange glares. Ran noticed it 'What's with them?'
"What are you doing here?" Rei said in a threatening voice. He coughed. Ran hurried to him "Oh Rei! You have to rest now… I can handle them…" But Rei ignored her too, still glaring at the man in front of him.
"Look at you!!! What are you doing in your life?" the man said, staring at the sick helpless boy in front of him.
"So!?" he replied "What is it with you?"
"Don't you dare talk to your father like that!!!" the man shouted. Ran gulped, supporting Rei to stand. 'Father? This guy is his father? So that's why he looks familiar. They are very alike.' she thought. 'But why is he glaring at his father?'
"Father?" he chuckled. "You abandoned me right? You forced me to live on my own and now, you're telling me that I have a father? Aren't you bluffing?"
His father clenched a fist and loosened after a while "Yeah right! I don't have a son like you, a careless, stupid and bastard son."
"Then why are you here?"
"Didn't I tell you to stop getting in my way and never show your face again?"
"I did what I was told because I don't want to see you too, even your shadow." He said.
"Really? Then why did one of my entrusted employees saw you in a stupid and a murky CD store?"
'CD store?' Ran thought and remembered the man in the CD store that approached Rei.
"So!? I never thought that I would be famous like that…" he laughed, even if sweats are dripping through his face. The man is starting to get irritated "Shut up! You're a disgrace to our family. Don't you ever show your face to any of my employees again? You're not my son anymore, because I don't have a son who killed his own little brother."
"What?" Ran shrieked unintentionally.
The man turned to her. He gave a mischievous grin and said, "Why? You didn't tell your girlfriend about it?"
"Stop! She got nothing to do with this!" he growled but was stopped by his cough.
"Oh Rei! Stop it… it might even get worse…" she said and turned to the man. Then, unexpectedly, he saw the man's worried eyes, staring at the coughing Rei. It seems like the man wanted to hug him all of a sudden. Rei can't see this because his busy from coughing. 'But why? Isn't he mad at Rei? What's with the worried face?'
The man turned to her and saw her stares. He suddenly turned his eyes into glare again. "Who are you?" he asked her. "Ran. I'm Ran Kotobuki." She answered.
"Kotobuki?" he thought for a second. "Aaah!!! So you're a daughter of the married police named Kotobuki?" She nodded. The man smiled "I know them… they are good friends of mine… so if I were you… I will stop hanging around with this bastard."
Ran turned to Rei. 'What is happening here?' She's confused about all the things but she will never forgive anyone who'll say something bad about her friends, especially on him.
"Stop it! I may not know anything that happens in the past between you and Rei but you're not the one who'll tell me on whom I wanted to be with…" she said courageously.
The man narrowed his eyes as Ran glared back at him. Rei smiled secretly when he heard her say 'whom I wanted to be with…' but he got to do something before anything happen.
"I never thought that they will have a daughter with a dirty mouth…" the man said.
"Shut up! Don't you ever insult Ran like that…" he said. Ran turned to him. "Rei…"
"… and I promised you that I won't come in your way again, you have my word." he said.
The man is silenced by Rei's words and dignity on his eyes. He turned to Ran and smirked. "Very well…" the only thing he said and they went off.
The two sighed in relief. Ran supported Rei and helped him sit in the couch. And when she turned to him, she saw him smiling. "What's with the smile?" she asked.
"You really are brave aren't you? You don't know what will happen if you get against that old man." He said.
"It's all because…" she looked down, shy " …he insulted you…"
Rei cupped her cheek "Is that true?" he asked. Ran blushed. She can't speak. She was startled. His eyes on hers and his warm hand on her cheek. And before anything comes, she faced one side, making Rei's hand leave her cheek and to avoid his eyes also. "Of course, you're my friend… and I don't want any of my friends to be called murde---"
She gulped. She never thought that she will say that. But even so, she is curious about it. Although, she knew that he will never do such thing.
"Don't mind what I'd said. Just rest, okay?"
"No! You need to know everything… and besides, I want somebody to lean on by now…"
Ran can't argue with him anymore. She can sense that he's eager to tell him everything.
"Back then, when I was with my family, we live in a very peaceful home. We are always together. Happy, contented and bond together as one. There is my mom, Riku Otohata, who is very beautiful, my father, Ryuji Otahata, who is very responsible with everything."
"And handsome like you too…" she whispered. Rei heard it and make him smile. And she blushed.
"Then there's my sister, Reika, younger than me, so beautiful like my mom."
Ran remembered the picture she saw in Rei's book. 'I think the girl with the long hair is his sister…' Then she shrieked at her thoughts at that time, that Rei is his sister's husband. 'Ah! Foolish of me…then what about the two kids?'
Rei continued "Then there's my twin sibling, a boy and a girl, so cute and bubbly, Rayven and Rayver."
"We are very happy back those days…"
Ran noticed the sweat from sickness in Rei's forehead. Now that she knew that Rei won't stop even if she told him, she just grabbed the towel and wiped the sweat off on his face. Rei smiled at her "Thank you!!!" Ran nodded.
"Then suddenly, a big crisis happened in my father's company, the 'R's company' as my father named it. One of his factories fired up that cost a million. And this took our father away from us. He worked and worked, everyday, every night and even every minute."
Ran kept on wiping his face. He saw his lonely eyes and it makes her sad too.
"We hadn't had a meal with him since then. We never saw him smile again. And this makes my Rayven and Rayver missed him. They love my father very much. They are too young to understand everything so we can't blame them or tell them what to do."
"I felt lonely and pitied the twins. So I tried my best to take my father's place, as all eldest brother should do." Rei rest his head on the couch and stared at the ceiling. "Then one day, I made a plan. I took the twins and Reika to a park, without my father's permission. This somehow, made the twins happy but I know that I can never replace my father's great love for us."
"We are about to go home when Rayven asked for an ice cream. I told Reika to take care of them for a minute so that I can buy ice cream but there's too many people back then. I saw an ice cream store across the street. Reika carried Rayven and one hand on Rayver. They waited for me."
"I turned around to see if they are safe. Rayven had her shoe fall on the ground. Reika took the shoe that made her loose Rayver's hand. Then, Rayver saw a man whose back is just like our father. He thought that he is our father so he followed him. But the man was crossing. I ran towards Rayver and Reika did too, but she can't run faster than I can 'coz she's holding Rayven. And then things come to worst. I'm too late."
Ran already guessed of what had happened. She placed a hand on her mouth. She feels like crying.
"He—he---he got hit by a car." Rei said in a low and shivering tone. He's sobbing.
Rei closed his eyes. "Time stopped there. I ran to his side. I saw him full of blood but even so… the only thing he said at the last breath he had is… "I love you father and I missed you…""
Rei bend over and tapped his hand on his forehead. "I'm so stupid Ran. I killed my brother. I killed my poor little young brother. If only I ran faster… if only I can turn the hands of time… if only I can do everything… and if only I was good as my father back then… then he would still be alive…" he said, not knowing that tears streamed down his face. He touched his cheek to see if it is really is his tears. And when he's sure that he really is crying he turned to Ran. She's staring at him, staring at him while his tears fell down. But he doesn't want her to see him crying like that. So covered his face with one hand and turned on the other side, where he won't see Ran. "I'm sorry… I shouldn't be crying like this…"
But Ran hugged him before he could even turn to the other side. "No it's okay Rei… it's okay…" That's the time when Rei burst into tears at Ran shoulder. Ran didn't notice that she is also crying for him.
Ran felt pity on him. It's the first time she saw him crying like that and it tears her heart apart.
"So you've found out…" Miyu said. Tatsuki nodded and show her Ran's cellphone. "Hey that's Ran's phone… So you took it…"
Tatsuki forced a smile. Miyu took it. "But why?" she asked but was answered when she looked down on the phone she was holding. And all she could see is Rei's sleeping images (aside from the other pics). He turned to Tatsuki who's looking down at the ground.
"Oh Tatsuki…" she whispered.
"What's going on Miyu…? I don't know what to do already. I love her very much… but those pictures… what are they doing in Ran's phone? I kept on thinking for possible reasons but the only result I had is that… maybe… I lost the battle… with Rei…" he said as he sobbed from tears. "I love her… I love her so much…"
Miyu tapped Tatsuki's shoulder "Oh Tatsuki…" she said. She doesn't know what to say; she wanted to encourage him… but how… when they have the same conclusion…?
"Tatsuki…" finally she said after Tatsuki calmed. "… I know it's hard but things will surely going to be alright… okay?" Tatsuki rests his head on the bench. "Yeah… I hope you're right… 'coz by now… I'm starting to think… on how I can… let… her… go… and if I really can…"
After several minutes, Ran is still holding Rei. They stayed like that. Rei's head on Ran's shoulder as Ran's arm are hugging him tight for comfort.
Rei broke the silence. "Ran… am I a bad person…?" he said as he freed his self on her arms and look straightly onto her eyes.
"No… of course not…"
Rei smiled at her and leaned his back on the couch. "I hope… I really am…"
"Rei…"
"After that… my father abandoned me… I left home and never came back. My mother and sisters cried and try to convince my father, but there's nothing that they can't do. I learned to live alone for three years. I never had a decent life after I left home. I worked for myself. And that incident became my nightmare each and everyday. I blamed myself for everything. I never knew that there's something good that will happen in my life. I distanced myself to everybody 'coz I don't want to make the same mistake ever again."
And then he turned to Ran "Until you…"
Ran's eyes widened.
"You… you have the most beautiful life that I've ever met… you have a great family… you have great friends… happy person… worry free… that's why I envied you so much…"
"You can do anything you want… you can protect every one…" Rei placed a hand on her cheek and leaned forward on her. Ran can't move, still fascinated by his eyes. "I never thought that my life will ever change…" he leaned forward. "…you're the only one who made me complete…" he slid his hand and took her chin. "…who showed me that there is a great life waiting for me…" he moved closer. "… who showed me everything that my life needed…" They are already an inch apart. Ran, still can't move. She is stunned and very confused. She can't even understand of what he actually means.
"And I never thought that I will love again…" he said and closed the gap between them as he put his lips on hers. But it only lasted for a second because he fell down to Ran's lap. He was still sick and his fever became very high than before.
But still, Ran can't move. She can't believe it, Rei did kiss her. But why? And what does he mean by 'And I never thought that I will love again…'? She looked down on Rei and touched her lips. "What's the meaning of that?"
Miyu reached the police station where Yamato is.
Yamato greeted her with a wide smile "Oh hi my honey how is it going?" he approached and kissed her, but she didn't move. "Honey! What's wrong?"
Miyu turned to him and burst into tears. She hugged him. "Miyu?"
"Yamato… I can't take it anymore…Oh please Yamato… please…"
Ran watched Rei as he sleeps in his bed. After he fell on her lap, she tried and put him into his bed. He's still asleep. She took care of him. She wiped every sweat that will fall on his face.
"Mom! I'll be sleeping at my friend's house." She said on the phone talking to her mother. "… Rea… Yes… Yamato know her… I'll take care of myself… Yeah… I got the 7th place mom… Okay… thanks… goodnight…" and she ended the conversation.
She sighed. She walked inside Rei's room. She watched him. He's fever cooled down. He's breathing is okay now. He sleeps in his bed comfortably. She walked towards the bed and kneeled down beside it. She removed Rei's hair that's covering his face. She smiled. She scanned his face. He really is cute. Then she took a glimpse on his lips. She remembered the moment he kissed her. She touched her lips.
'And I never thought that I will love again…'
"What's the meaning of that Rei?" she whispered. Then she remembered….
'I think Rei had already fallen for me…'
Ran's eyes narrowed. "I'm the one who told you to love Aya right? Is Aya right? Have you already fallen for her…?" Tears streamed down on her face. "But why am I crying like this? Why do I feel so lonely when I think about that? Why do I feel this way towards you?"
She took Rei's hand and gently caressed it by her cheeks. "Oh Rei…" she whispered as she cried silently beside him…
