Ame

(4 years ago, before meeting Kaito)

Since SD I have been sick a lot. I didn't have any friends because I spent too much time in the hospital.

Today I did a routine check-up at the hospital with my mother. Unlike usual my mother did not read my examination results and immediately took me home.

Arriving home after dinner, I came out of my room and approached my mother who was sitting on the sofa of the family room watching her favorite television show.

I just stood behind the sofa and asked.

"Mother? what exactly am I sick of?",

My mother just shut up and turned off the television with the remote she was holding.

"Mother?! .. Why?", I asked.

She started to shed tears and then held me tightly.

"Lohs?! mother why? mom said my pain wasn't bad", I was curious.

"I'm sorry .. Mom is not a good mother" said the mother letting go of her opener.

At the same time I saw the hospital examination letter that seemed to have been read by my mother lying on the front desk of the sofa. Because I was consumed with curiosity I took it and read it.

What does this mean?!!.. due to a heart defect ... My life lives ... one?!

"Mother?! it's a joke, right?!", I was panicking.

"Sorry ... I've kept it a secret since you were little .. I'm sorry, Ame's mom" said the mother with tears streaming down.

I can only speak a thousand languages. I was panicked, scared, and confused at the same time. I threw the hospital letter in any direction and ran back to my room.

Since then, I've been locked up in my room. A few weeks went by I was just lying in my bed with a very messed up mind.

I'll be dead in a year. I don't have to do anything from now on.

"Ohhh!!!! the bottom of the world is useless!!", I shouted as I threw a pillow at the bookshelf in my room.

I accidentally dropped a book off my bookshelf. When I saw the cover that was foreign to me, I immediately took it with my pillow lying on the floor and went back to lying on the bed.

Hikari No Yokusoku?!. What makes you so attractive to me, is it just a light novel read.

- Hikari No Yokusoku(promise of light)-

I spent my time today just reading this light novel I accidentally discovered.

The novel tells the story of a meeting of a boy and a girl that only lasts one month. The girl died in an accident and left deep wounds for the male lead. The main character then ended his life because he could not withstand the deep wounds.

I don't know why I got carried away while reading this story. Maybe because the situation is not far from my current situation. I just need his male lead and his continuation might be like this.

I honestly don't like the ending. I prefer a happy ending.

Who the hell is the author?

"Okino Kaito, 7th grade Junior High, never heard his name", muttered me and sat on the bed.

She's a year older than me, maybe I've met her somewhere.

Eh?! wait I remember something.

I took my laptop and sat down at the desk. I also looked for the photo files I had stored on my laptop. I also found a photo taken one year ago when the SD-level writing competition was held at my school.

"ah! here it is. oh really, it looks like a photo of her" I said comparing the photos in her novel.

Oh ... I remember now!, she was my upperclassman last year.

I don't remember him too much because he wasn't the kid who stood out at school.

"It's a novel for you, I don't need it anymore" said a man who fell on my head.

Eh?! Eh?! Eh?!. I remember now that he gave me this novel.

I also remembered her desperate face while talking to me. Maybe it was because he had only ranked three that time.

Worth the rank three .. end of the story makes a sprain!, just try I can change the ending.

Why don't I try writing a novel again? but not the splinter, huh?

Just then a piece of paper fell out of the novel in my hand. "I won't give up until I win even if I have to die from writing" the handwriting on that piece of paper.

What'sthis?! encouragement letter?!

From then on it was eager to see the face of Kaito senpai once again and change the face of his despair that he gave me last year.

For some reason after reading her novel I felt like I just wanted to help someone for the rest of my life. So that I don't die in vain like the main character in the novel Kaito senpai.

From that moment on I started writing novels. And from that moment on, my smile started to come back.

A year later, my novel was finished. I, who was just in Junior High, decided to enter my script into the annual summer race.

The day of the announcement arrived. When the winner announcement event was carried out my attention was taken by the man who stepped out of the building where the race was held.

That right? Kaito senpai!, ah .. and his desperate face was again.

I also decided to follow his steps. I could only feel a sense of despair at every step I took.

After a moment of hesitation, I also made up my resolve. I pretended to bump into her so I could start a conversation with her.

Since then I have been in a relationship as a writer partner with her. It's just as a blanket for me to cover my true purpose.

Whether I still have time or not, the important thing is that I want to try it.

Day by day we passed. It began to grow my feelings in my heart. Even so I don't care about him. Because I know that even if I express my feelings I won't have time to hear the answers.

Tomorrow is the announcement of the race we are taking. I was lying limp in the hospital. Maybe this is my last time in this world.

At least I can mean something to someone. Thank you senpai.
