"y-yiren..." sakura mumbled as she stepped a foot inside the room surrounded with nothing else but white walls. there lies the chinese's body, all pale and weak. sakura trudges her way to the hospital bed, placing her palm on top of yiren's cold ones.

the heated feeling caused the latter to flinch and flutter her eyes open, seeing the japanese standing right in front of her, yiren pulled off a weak smile and tried to force herself up but was stopped by the former.

"don't. just stay there, so what happened?" the cherry blossom asked while placing the empty chair besides the chinese. the latter bit her lower lip and tried to avoid sakura's eyes, noticing this, the gray haired girl faced her cousin.

"hitomi found her passed out in the living room when she went out to grab some water. i don't know anything about her medical condition so the doctor's calling her parents now." nako answered and hearing that, the short haired girl looks straight into brown pool with pleading eyes.
