FOUR
Asako cant leave the bathroom ever since she woke up.
"Asako? Are you okay?" Iku knock on the bathroom door. The next minute, shes out from there. "Gosh! Youre pale! Are you okay?"
"What do you think dummy?!"
She walk totterly to her bed then fall in to the bed.
"Ill tell to you commander that youre sick. Just sleep and text me if you need anything."
Iku wear her shoes as saying that. Then she stood up and leave the room. and a moment after she start walking in the corridor, her phone ring. A text from Asako.
I need Hikaru
"Dummy" Iku smiled. "Hes the only guy who could make her seems like a normal girl."
She try to find words to tease Asako. Shes focused on replying Asako's text that she didnt realize someone walking slowly right infront of her. Her nose poked by his black hair. He turn back and it turns out to be Dojou. Iku panicked.
"Hey," he hold Iku's wrist and stop her from moving absurbdly because of panic.
"He, hey!"
She try to talk normally but everyone could see how uncomfortable she is. Seh dont even look him in the eyes. Dojou only stare at her and sigh.
"Im sorry."
He pat her head then walk away. Iku want to say lots of things but she felt like her voice are running away.
"Im should be the one who apologize."
She murmured as her mind show Dojou's hurt face again.
Ever since that incident, they dont really talk much since Iku back to her normal self. Akward and too nervous to even be near him. She dont even wear their engagement ring since lots of the girls are so excited about it and ask lots of things about Iku and Dojou's relationship. Shes shy to talk about it. Its not because shes not proud to be Dojou's fiancee. She even admire him. Its just that, her heart turns out to beat crazily even when shes thinking about him only.
"Woah! Whats with that face?!"
Tezuka open the door in the same time as Iku. Hes about to leave the team's room though.
"Thats none of your business." She said weakly. "Ah!" but then she remember Asako. "Anyway, Asako not feeling well today."
"Really? She seems fine yesterday."
"I dont know. She look pale already since last night. She dont really sleep."
"Well, Ill get her out of your room now and send her to rest to house."
Tezuka actually have a house already for him and Asako. But it turns out that Asako dont wanna leave her cute big best friend, Iku. Thats also the reason why she dont want to stop working there even Tezuka did force her.
"I think that will be great."
"I will skip the day too then."
Since the girls dorm and guys dorm and seperated and theyre not allowed to go to each others dorm, Iku wennt back so Tezuka could pick Asako.
"Hey," Tezuka sit beside Asako on her bed. He touch her forehead to see wether she got any fever or no. "Lets go home." He slips his hands below her small body. Her right hand below her shoulder and the left one below her waist. He then carry her. "Asako?" he call her once more since she dont really response.
"Mom" murmured weakly.
"Asako?" he get his forehead closer to hers again. She got no fever. "Kasahara!" Iku whos standing outside waiting for them jumped. "Please call ambulance! I dont think shes only not feeling well!"
Iku's eyes widened.
