Hiro opened his eyes slowly as snow splashed against his face, the increasingly cold air making him unable to last any longer. He moved from his sleeping position, Hiro accidentally saw Miki who was beside him.
Their eyes met each other, the curvature of Miki's sweet smile making Hiro's heart beat suddenly.
“ Hello. “ Miki stammered. “ You sad woman is it? “ Hiro said with words that satirize Miki.
“ Ahaha, yes “
“ What are you doing here? “
“ Sorry, can you not speak formally to me? “
“ You yourself speak formally to me. “
“ Sorry, then I came here to give you this. “ Miki gives jacket to Hiro. “ Just save it for you, I don't need. “ reject Hiro.
“ I've washed loh. “ annoyed Miki because he's already washed with his own two hands to return this to him. “ Just save “ Hiro who walked into the lobby.
Miki followed Hiro from behind while continuously blabbing obscure words, Hiro let out an annoyed sigh and stopped his footsteps while turning his body towards Miki who was close to his body.
Miki's face flushed red as Hiro suddenly stopped his footsteps and also directly turned his body.
“ Shut up a little, I'm dizzy. “ regretfully bring his face closer to Miki's face. Miki did not dare to look at Hiro, she simply turned her eyes away.
“ MIKI! “ greet Rei from behind Miki. Miki turned her body and looked towards Rei. “ Hi, Rei “ Miki said.
“ What are you doing here? “ ask Rei kebinggungan. Miki turned her head towards Hiro and said “ I gave her the jacket. “
“ You... who? “ Rei doesn't know that Hiro is at one school with him.
“ You don't know him? “ Miki freak. Hiro's face shriveled, he moved his feet away from there.
“ Where are you going? “ shouted Miki who was ignored by Hiro.
“ WOI! “
“ HIRO! “
Miki's words were not heard by Hiro at all, Hiro's back was getting further and further away from his sight. “ Aish! “ complains Miki.
“ Let's play basketball with me! “ take Rei suddenly.
Actually Miki already knew Rei's will, because Miki was too bored with Rei who always invited him to play one on one. Rei is also a big fan of Lim, so he always wanted to measure Miki's ability. Is it the same with Lim or not?
And Miki always refused, according to him it is not something that must be shown. The abilities of the child and Father will definitely be different, no one is exactly the same. The advantages and weaknesses will be different.
For example, Lim is weak in shooting three-points and Miki is weak in ingenuity so he is played to be a shooting guard even though the shooting guard must have good concentration and resolution of shots, but Miki excels at it.
It was just that his intelligence was lacking in strategizing like a point guard. However, every time Miki said he was different to Lim, people became disappointed and looked down on Miki.
There are even people who are disappointed that Miki can't do dunk, they think it's easy to do dunk? Nah!
If Miki could do the dunk, it was also because of her intense training. But how can he do intense training if training in his Junior High is just like that.
For home training was not enough for Miki because his father became a coach of an NBA club, he was also busy looking for talented people in basketball.
“ Quickly change your clothes “ Rei as if you can arrange Miki. “ Ah sucks! “ Miki grumbled making Rei's face surprised. “ I cape, so you better undo your intention to ask me to play one on one. “ continued Miki.
“ Just once, please. Okay well? “ pinta Rei with full of hope, Miki could not refuse the face of Rei who had begged him. Rei is also one of Miki's best friends in basketball, so to refuse Rei's request is very difficult for him.
“ Okay, but this time only huh? “
“ But before that... “ Miki held back her words. “ Did you know that guy? “
Rei shook his head not knowing who Hiro was, to him Hiro was very foreign to his face. Even he had absolutely no idea that Hiro was one school with him.
“ Come, let's go to the basketball court. “ take Miki who is followed by Rei with great excitement.
The one on one game is about to start between Miki and Rei, the team members from Kitasumiyoshi Junior High are just watching from the sidelines with a curious feeling.
Likewise with Hiro, he accidentally looked into the basketball court that had been mobbed by many people. “ Rei-senpai, spirit!! “ shouted at the same time the members of Kitasumiyoshi Junior High School. Hiro steps into the basketball court, looking at Miki and Rei who are already facing each other.
“ Games start! “
The first basketball was in Rei's hands, at full speed he tried to pass Miki. People were amazed by Rei's game that could pass Miki but Miki who already knew the movements of Rei's game immediately closed it so as not to pass back.
“ Wow great! “ amazed Team Kitasumiyoshi. “ Hah, you are indeed difficult to pass. “ Rei talking face to face with miki.
As Rei was speaking before Miki, Miki quickly picked up the ball in Rei's hand, then he ran past Rei with great ease. Rei couldn't let it go, he also held Miki back from putting the ball in.
“ Are you sure to keep me from a distance so far? “ Miki with confidence. The distance to enter the ball was in the outer zone or arguably three-points and Rei kept Miki far enough so that Miki did not easily enter the inner zone.
However, it was too late for Miki to step back and take a step to shoot three-points.
“ Lie, that far distance? “
“ No, it can't be “ the disbelieving members of Kitasumiyoshi.
Rei's eyes widened he forgot that Miki was the shooting guard, and he had a resolution of 99% the ball would go into the ring. Since Rei was late to guard Miki, Miki had already entered the boal and scored three-points.
“ Rei-senpai, lose? “ whispered a member of the Kitasumiyoshi team who did not believe what they were seeing at the moment.
10 Minutes had passed, and the victory was won by Miki with a score of 13-2. Rei can only score point 2 out of 10 minutes. “ Ha...ha.... “ Rei is out of breath for fighting Miki.
His breathing was very tight, fighting Miki was the same as physically training for 1 hour was exhausting. Rei's legs were not strong enough to stand, while Miki was still standing upright while adjusting her breathing.
“ Already satisfied? “ Miki who came out of the basketball court while carrying Hiro's carry-on bag and jacket.
Miki's footsteps stopped when Hiro was in front of her, suddenly Hiro pulled Miki's arm to take her somewhere unknown to Miki.
“ Hey, where are we going? “ Miki offended at once surprised. Hiro opened the door that read health room, he pushed Miki's body in a chair. “ Shut up here! “ the thrill of taking a P3K box.
“ Look at your feet “ Hiro took Miki's leg to see the wound on his knee. ‘ Your knee is injured right? “
“ Let me treat the wound. “ he continued who began to clean the wound on Miki's knee slowly. Miki grimaced in pain, but upon seeing Hiro's face all the pain began to dissipate.
The sense of calm when looking at Hiro's face made his heart beat so fast, because his heart was suddenly beating. Miki pushed Hiro's body away from him while saying “ I can be alone. “
“ Leave me alone! “ Hiro don't want to lose.
“ Hiro! “
“ Can't you shut up? “ Hiro glared ferociously at Miki which made him instantly speechless.
He began attaching a plaster to where Miki's knee scratches were. “ Whose name are you? “ tanyanya.
“ Edward Miki. “ replied Miki who made Hiro speechless.
There was a silence between Miki and Hiro. “ Edward, like the male name “ Hiro who stopped the silence.
“ Yes, that's my family name. “
“ It is finished, next if there is a wound please heal immediately! “ cry Hiro while standing up and out of the health room.
It was Miki's initial approach with Hiro, but after saying the start Hiro had no word back for months. It wasn't that Miki waited just that he wanted to return the jacket Hiro had given him.
Miki felt really bad about having to save, but it was for that reason that she wanted to continue meeting with Hiro.
Every time Miki asked the students at Kitasumiyoshi Junior High School no one ever answered her, they just said they didn't know Hiro. Miki also always looked inward, until she asked one of the teachers.
And what is surprising is that Hiro has moved on the day of Miki's third meeting with Hiro. It was Hiro's last day at Kitasumiyoshi Junior High and it was also the day of Hiro's approach with Miki.
The only thing left of Hiro was a black jacket with warmth.
