Time passed, and over three months have gone by since I was in that state. Kei tested negative with the virus, and everyone else was negative too. I'm the only one who went through that state. No one else but me. I should be relieved but I feel irritated instead.

I walk around the halls, pausing to check my reflection on the window. I look at my forehead and rub it gently. Kei kissed my forehead.. I don't know why he did that, but he said he just did. I'm still confused. He just kissed my forehead because.. he just did.

I head back to my room, bumping into Tsunematsu-san's husband. I pick up the files he dropped, and find that she'll be discharged. She's fine. That's.. that's a relied. She finally gets to live outside the hospital. That's a good thing for her.

"I'm sorry for bumping into you." He smiles as he shakes his head, and I hand over the files. "She's finally discharged, isn't she?"

"We're going to Hokkaido.. to her parents' hometown." I want to go too. "She's fine, and our children gathered at our house to welcome us once we get there. The eldest will come get us tomorrow."

"That's nice.." I smile, and he nods, turning to the doctor that called out to him. "You should go."

"Thank you.. I hope you'll be discharged soon too." I wave a little and watch him walk off, looking up upon feeling someone rest their arm on my head. "Kei.."

"Too early for tears, (Y/n)." He wipes my cheek and wipes his hand on my shirt. I glare at him, and he just laughs, stopping when he noticed that I wasn't smiling. "Is something wrong?"

"Nothing.. just.. Tsunematsu-san's discharged.. tomorrow." I say, and he pinches and pulls on my cheeks. "I want to be discharged too.. go out, and have fun."

"You look ugly when you frown, so stop."

"So if I don't frown, am I pretty?" I ask, and he scrunches his nose in disgust.

"No, you look ugly either way." I smack his arm, and he just laughs at me.

I went back to my room and Kei didn't follow. After kissing my forehead like that, he has the audacity to call me ugly. I hate him somehow, but whatever. Why should I care about what he said? He's just teasing me like he always does.

Mom and Dad's folding my clothes. I did hear a bit that he has to get back to work, but why do they look like they're cleaning up my clothes? I'm not even discharged yet. I don't think I'll be discharged anytime soon.. why are they cleaning up?

"Sweetheart, Kei-kun's mother gave us banana bread. It's tasty. You should try it." I nod, and check on my food tray.

"Why are you cleaning up my things?" I ask, and Mom just hums.

"I'm going to be getting you different clothes, plus.. the ones on repeat that you wear.. doesn't seem like your clothes, but Kei-kun's." Mom says, giving me teasing stares as she folds my clothes. "Well, I'll be back.. and your dad.. well.."

"I'll be going back to work, but I'll be working here in Tokyo. I won't be away. Your mother will be working too, she just didn't want to tell you." Dad explains and kisses my cheek. "We'll be here."

I get on my bed and eat the bread, and just watch them get ready to leave. I'm trying not to worry about them worrying. It's useless to worry about things like that. I can't get in their heads to know. All I can do for them is to make sure that I'm fine.
