It was raining again and instead of Mina, it's me sitting in the alcove watching the rain. Testing to see if Mina's grandmother's advice would help me..and in a way it is.. I can feel myself relax.
"It's cold." Mina drapes a blanket over my shoulder, "Why are you sitting here? Everything okay?" She says softly and I noticed that she's already dressed in her sleepwear.
"I got in half an hour ago, but you were in such deep thought that I didn't want to intrude.." She shrugs sitting next to me, "but I wasn't going to sit here and let you be while you shiver." She smiles, rubbing my shoulders a bit, trying to warm me up and I don't know if it's the gesture or the way Mina smiled at me like she's looking at a reflection of her own broken self that made me hug her tightly, cuddling into her side.
"I don't know what's gotten you in this mood," Mina begins, stroking my hair lightly, "But I'm here..and I'll always be here."
"Will you really?" My voice came out softer than I'd like.
"As long as you'll let me." Mina's tone was soft and for a moment memories of the past came back and I held onto Mina tighter.
"Hikari..Kimura Hikari." I said her name for the first time in years.
"Sana you don't have to if.."
"It's okay..I want you to know."
Minatozaki Sana, the future head of Sora. Those were the words Sana's heard ever since she was a child and honestly, she hated it. No one ever asked her if she wanted to work for her family's company...they just expected her to and so Sana just accepted that. Doing what needed to be done of her. A life perfectly planned...except when she came into her life.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry." A girl apologised profusely after running into Sana, her coffee spilling all over the girl's shirt.
"It's fine." Sana holds the girl's hands, "I don't have class anymore."
"I..here." The girl takes her cardigan off, quickly draping it over Sana's shoulders, "At least it'll cover the stain until you get back to the dorms."
"You really don't have to." Sana chuckles, finding the shorter girl quite adorable.
"I know, but I want to..so let me?"
"I.." Sana was speechless, "I'm Sana."
"I'm Kimura Hikari and I know who you are." The girl nods, "Who doesn't know Minatozaki Sana?" She asks in Japanese.
"Right." Sana nods, thinking that this girl approached her because she needed something, "So now I owe you right?" Her tone was cold.
"Why? It was my fault? I'm the one who owes you." Hikari tilts her head, confused by the sudden shift from the girl.
"Well this is usually how these things go. People do something to gain my favour and yeah."
"Isn't that a little big headed of you?"
"It is, but it keeps away fake people." Sana shrugs.
"I...right." Hikari nods, "Look Minatozaki-san, I'm sorry that I bumped into you...I didn't even know it was you. I have no ulterior motive or anything. Keep the cardigan. Bye." Hikari walks away leaving Sana feeling like an asshole.

"Oh why the long face, Satang?" Momo, joined by Nayeon and Jihyo, look at the usually bubbly girl confused.
"Well..so you see.." Sana says in that high pitched tone.
"Oh no..." The trio say collectively, "What happened." And so Sana tells them about Hikari and how she feels like such a bitch for assuming things.
