Today's Life, Don't Have Tomorrow

CHAPTER 21 - I won't let you go...

Kichiro just finished checking on Riku. Riku hasn't completely opened his eyes but has actually shown a sign that he is really awake from a coma after so long. They are still waiting for Riku outside. Of course, they are nervous.

"Riku will open his eyes right now, right?" Nagi ask.

"I believe he will,no he gonna open his eyes. I hope it wasn't a dream again. Tamaki said.

"It's really time for him to open his eyes." Mitsuki said.

Kichiro just came out of the room and met them first.

"He is really awake but needs time to take it in. His brain was just working, so he didn't know what he was doing or thinking. He was like a robot that had to reboot everything. He has still not responded to anything from my test. You guys should always be with him. Please tell me immediately if Riku gives any rare signs or is talking about something." All of them nodded and looked at Riku.

Since Riku is already awake, Tenn never stops visiting him and takes care of him every day after he finishes his job. No matter how busy he is or how late he finishes, he will stop at the hospital just to take care of Riku. He has been like that for a week, but Riku hasn't shown any improvement or anything else. Other members came too and said the same things too.Tenn can only wait for Riku, no matter how long he takes. He doesn't care if he loses his job too. All he wants is Riku. Tenn's dedication to Riku is unwavering, and he remains hopeful for Riku's recovery despite the lack of progress so far. His love and commitment to Riku drive him to stay by his side no matter what.

"I don't want to be like this anymore. This is my fault for not knowing his feelings. Riku has been suffering alone for this. He lost everything after I left him. Riku, please get better soon. There's a lot of things I need to make up with you." Tenn said this in his mind with tears in his eyes, realizing the impact of his actions on Riku's well-being. He vows to do whatever it takes to support Riku and make amends for his mistakes, determined to be there for him through thick and thin.

"Oh, Tenn-chan, have you just finished?" Kou ask.

"Yes Kou-san. It's been so long." Tenn said.

"Riku-chan hasn't given any sign of improvement yet." Kou ask

"No, not yet. But I won't give up on him," Tenn replied, his voice filled with determination. "I'll stay by his side until he gets better." Kou nodded in understanding, silently offering his support to Tenn in this difficult time.

"But you should take your time too, Tenn-chan. I heard from Kichiro-san that you have been coming here every day." Kou said.

"I don't care about myself. All I need is to take care of Riku because I don't want to make the same mistake again. I almost lost him. Every day my mind was somewhere else, seeing Riku in comatoseness for almost a year. I was scared he wouldn't wake up anymore. I'm really afraid of that. When I heard that Riku was suffering from an illness that I didn't know about, it made me feel more useless as a brother. He never complains or says something bad about me, even though I left him on that day." Tenn replied, tears welling up in his eyes. "I will never forgive myself for what happened to Riku. I will do everything in my power to make it up to him and be the brother he deserves."

"But if you don't go with Kujou-san at that time, you won't see Riku make his dream like this." Kichiro said, Who just came? Kou and Tenn look at the doctor. "Yes, I said the truth. Your late parents don't want this, but in order to protect you and Riku, that's why they put Riku's name in their will, and they can't find you or do anything toward Riku. Even I didn't know about this either, and the reason I have to make Riku my son is just to protect you two, as your mother wants. I don't want to lose Riku like I lost your mother too. I don't want to feel the same things again."
