Daichi's POV

"It happened in April, when the late bloomed cherry blossoms were still flush on the trees. I was going to get stiches removed, so i was absent from school."

TICKET NUMBER 52 COME TO COUNTER C

Kids were running around, playing tag i believe? They ran past this notebook and it fell. I stared at it then decided to get up and look for the owner-. Nobody came to claim it yet? I opened the book to see the title.

Living With Dying

I haven't heard that book before? I began to look through the pages. It must be- a diary? I read a page.

"I only have a few more years to live. Having come to terms with that, i write in order to live together with my disease. First off, the pancreas disease i have is..."

Pancreas? Die? Then i look up and see Suga.

"That's mine."

I stared in shock, is he pulling my leg?

"Bet your surprised! The fabulous Sugawara Koushi going down from a diseases! But your not as surprised as i was!"

"Oh is that so-" I say.

TICKET NUMBER 54, PLEASE COME TO COUNTER A!

"Well here you go" I say, as i hand him the book back and begin to walk to my bag.

"You read it didnt you?" He said. I didnt answer, i had to get to the counter, but he kept going.

"I call it 'Living With Dying', ever since i learned about my disease, ive used it as a diary." He said, then continued; "You dont think im joking do you? DAICHI! My humors not that dark come on!"

I stayed silent, but i knew he wasnt done talking.

"My Pancrea's has stopped working, and soon.." he tightened the grip on the book."I'll die."

"You dont say?" I say finally.

"HUH? THATS IT? Normal people would be like surprised or something! Or poetic, "the fairest flower soonest fade" i dont know, something to cheer me up! You seriously dont have anything else to say!" He looked at me closely.

"Nope."

He laughed hysterically.

"Sorry, sorry!" He continued to laugh.

"I have to get to the counter." And with that i walked off, i could feel him staring at me as i left.

After the appointment.

I was walking down a hill and saw Suga standing by a pole.

"What a coincidence" He said with glee.

I started to turn the other way. "Sorry, but dont drag me into your shenanigans" he followed and caught up with me.

"Im gonna be late for the trolley, see you later Suga" I say and walk a bit faster, he caught up again.

"Okay! Okay! Ill leave you, just a quick favor!" He says.

"Go on."

"I Want You To Keep My Illness A Secret!"
