Compromise

Chapter 10

Ai's POV

I tried to open my eyes but it's all blur... I looked around. But all I see is white. I closed my eyes and tried to remember what happened...

I was running after Ryosuke~kun... And then I felt pain in my chest and I can't breathe... Then all went black.

"Ryosuke~kun..." I muttered. It's all my fault. The members fought because of me... I'm so careless...

"Ai~chan, are you okay? What do you feel?" it's Hikaru~toochan's voice.

I opened my eyes and looked at the direction of his voice.

"Toochan..." I muttered, my voice is hoarse.

He's on my right, sitting on a chair near my bed.

"Why are you crying? Does it hurts somewhere?" he asked worriedly.

I'm crying? I didn't know.

I smiled at him. "I'm okay. Hmm... Where am I?" I asked.

Then I heard a creek of a door. I looked at its direction. It's Yuto~kun. His eyes went wide when he saw me. Then he approached me.

"How are you?" he asked, so worried.

"I'm fine," I answered. "Where am I?" I asked as I looked around.

"You're in the hospital. You collapsed this afternoon," Yuto~kun answered.

"Sou?" I asked. I inhaled.

"Is there something wrong?" Toochan asked.

"Ah, hmm," I shook my head. "Ryosuke~kun wa?" I asked them as I looked at them simultaneously but they evaded and looked down. Their face became sour.

Silence prevailed...

"Ah!" Yuto~kun exclaimed, ending the silence "I'll just tell the others that you're already awake and we'll call the doctor as well," he said then he went out.

Toochan patted my head and gave me a warm smile. I smiled back at him.

Not long after Yuto~kun came back with the members and the doctor. The members looked at me with a sigh of relief when they saw me.

"Kawashima~san," the doctor spoke.

"Hai?" I asked alertly.

"We got a sample of your blood and had a test. The red blood cells in your blood are few in production. Perhaps you're having a blood loss?" the doctor asked.

"I- I'm just tired," I said. Obviously that was a lie and I looked down.

"What else do you feel?" he asked.

"Hmm... I feel light headed sometimes. Hmm... I had a difficulty in breathing when I collapsed," I informed.

"Then, I may say that you have an anemia. It can be also determined by the appearance of a patient. You're pale and seems weak. I advice you to follow the medication I will give you for you to recover faster," he said.

"Hai," I replied. "Arigatou gozaimasu," I added.

"Who can go with me for the discussion of the medication I'll give her?" he asked.

"Me, sensei," Toochan raised his hand.

"Let's go," the doctor said.

Because it was late already, some of the members went home. Only Toochan, Yuto~kun and Yabu~kun are left with me. Toochan told me to rest and I obliged.

I suddenly woke up. I felt that someone is looking at me. I swallowed and tried to look around. There's a silhouette on my left side staring down at me. My eyes gone wide and I felt scared.
