Sho was running fast and his eyes wandered everywhere. But the person that he searched was nowhere to be seen. Frankly speaking, he was not the athletic type like his other members. Like Matsujun who can ran fast and Ohno who always energy when it came to physical activity. That’s why all of them knew of his lack ability in sporty activities. And it never bothered him that much. But, this time, he felt regret for not having those ability. Now, he even felt tired after a few round, running to search for Maki. Damn!!!I thought her hometown was small. He met her parents just now, and they said Maki was walking around from morning. Could not wait any longer, he said he wanted to search for her though Maki’s mother offered him to sit inside and waited for her. In this nick of time, he could not wait for her anymore.

                Finally, he could not take it any longer. Sho leaned against the fence as he inhaled as many air as possible, so that it would help him to regain his breath back. He hands raked his hair for a few times, trying to think which place he did not go yet to find her. While he was thinking, suddenly, his eyes fall on the place he never saw. Huffing his breath, he walked toward the place. Looking around, he discovered it was a playground. Suddenly, his heart stopped as he walked closer. It was not the view that took his attraction, but the person who sat alone on the bench. The person that he had been searching for a long time. The person he had been missing most.

                Maki was still looking at the onigiri in her hands. Her stomach grumbled wildly. Smiling softly, she her baby bump that was underneath her clothes. Gomen…Mommy forgot that you are hungry. She opened the wrapping, and started to eat. Munching slowly while savouring the taste of the food, Maki glanced at the empty seat that was next to her. So much reminiscing for the memory with the man till she became hungry. Then, her eyes fall on the drink that Yamapi left for her. Though the man was already leave her a while ago, but still he left some part of him here, close to her. Just like the way he left the scar within her heart. She ate her last bite on onigiri before looking again at the drink next to her. Staring. And staring. And staring. Slowly, she took the drinks and stared at it again. Baka!!! She murmured alone while flicking the tin. Again and again. Until a familiar voice startled her from it.

“Maki-chan…” Maki lifted up her chin, and stared at the person who stood in front of her. In that moment, her heart stopped beating, as if she was attacked by heart disease. But, she managed to say the name of the man.

“Sho-kun…” Her hands gripped on the drink that was on her hands.  Sho, who was standing in front of her, knelt on his knee as he was losing all energy within him. He touched her hands and put it on his cheeks.

“Finally…..” He let out his breath softly.  His eyes never leave her. “Finally I can see you again…” he mumbled softly, He closed the distance between the two of them.

“Oh my god…Maki, why are you doing this to me?”  The feeling that he had within him now was priceless. He could not express it with any kind of words.  Maki was just touching and his cheeks. In her heart, she was having a very bad feeling towards him. The feeling of guilty.

“Sho kun…I am sorry…” He just shook his head violently.

“Don’t say it Maki chan….Don’t say it” His voice was soft and it made Maki nearly choked to her tears. Immediately, he embraced her and on her hair.

“Why Maki chan…why….don’t do this again, don’t run away again. I can’t live without you, you know that…” he whispered as he said those words. Tears started streaming down her face.

“Sho Kun…I….” her voice choked due to her sobs. The man kept hugging her, as if there were no tomorrow between the two of them. Little did they know that someone was following Sho behind, and watching the scene of reunion between two lovers.

                The two of them was walking back together to her apartments. Sho insisted on going there, to know where exactly she lives right now. Her right hand had been hold by him, since they left her parents’ house. I don’t want to lose you again, that’s why I need to hold you. He said. Maki was just smiling, knowing how much silly the man was. Sometimes, he would plant a kiss on her back hand that he held just to feel her again.  Maki glanced at the man who walked next to her. His physical looked really worn out and he was much thinner than the last time she saw him. Biting her lips, she now knew too well why he became that way. All because of her.

“Marina…have you tell Sho Kun about your condition?” asked her mother while packing her some clothes and food for her to bring back home. Maybe she will take some time to come back again. Maki stopped and looked at her mother for a while. She just shook her head softly. Mrs. Hara pulled her daughter’s hand and led her to bed. They sat together.

“You did not tell him yet?”

“I don’t know ho
