Midorima was walking towards the lounge .when he saw an unfamiliar guy hug Tsukiko . Many  question appear in his head .

Who is he ? Why is he with Tsukiko ? 

A strange feeling lingers in his heart . What was it ? 

He didn't realize it but his feet was taking him away from the lounge .

" ne what are you doing here Shiraishi-kun?" asked Tsukiko 

" Oh I have some business to take care off and will be in Tokyo for a few days" smiled Shiraishi

" oh.. I see " said Tsukiko 

" are you busy ? Let's grab something to eat and chat " said Shiraishi 

" oh ..but I was waiting for someone ... " said Tsukiko 

" eh ? ..dare ? your boyfriend ?" teased Shiraishi 

" no..its not like that ! " Blushed Tsukiko 

Tsukiko starts to worry . 

Where is Shin-chan ? He should be here by now . - Thought Tsukiko 

Just then , her cell phone rang indicating that there's an incoming message 

- I have a patient in need for emergency . Please go without me - Midorima 

" emergency ? " 

" What's wrong ? " asked Shiraishi as he noticed Tsukiko's  change of facial expression .

" no... My friend said he has an emergency . no fair ..he promised to buy me okonomiyaki! " pouted Tsukiko 

" well ... why not go with me then ?" offered Shiraishi 

" but ... " 

" come on .. you have an expert cook for kansai dishes ..there's nothing to lose ! " said Shiraishi enthuasticly

" are you saying that Im a bad cook?" 

" nope .. just saying that im much better than you " 

" Fine . Lets see who cooks the better okonomiyaki" 

" Bring it on! " 

And with that , Tsukiko went to the okonomiyaki store with Shiraishi

 Midorima was at lounge by himself . 

" What's wrong with me " muttered Midorima by himself 

" ara ..Shin-chan ? what are you doing here ? I thought your shift was over? " asked Takao as he walked into the lounge 

" nothing .. I just feel that I need to stay here a little longer " said Midorima 

" heh ..that's rare . Usually you'll go straight home. Besides there's nothing here for you to do. It might be best for you to go home and rest"

" none of your business nanodayo " 

"Oh well. Don't overwork yourself ne" said Takao as he grabbed himself a cup of coffee

The next day ...

" sigh .. " said Tsukiko as she lay her head on the table at the lounge 

" hmm ? What's wrong Tsukiko ? " asked Kasumi 

" yeah .. you look unmotivated ? too many death to handle ? " asked Takao 

" no . . Just that Shin-chan broke his promise " Tsukiko pouted 

" promise ? " Kasumi was clueless 

" well ..he promise to buy me okonomiyaki yesterday .. and he didn't appear . So I had to go with a friend of mine " 

" That's weird . I saw Shin-chan in the lounge yesterday night" said Takao 

" Im sure he was a take five . He told me there was an emergency patient to handle " 

" emergency ?" Takao's eyes were wide 

" ... " Kasumi was silence 

" yeah .. I guess I can't blame it on him " Tsukiko smiled sadly 

" ano .. Tsukiko ... I hate to break it to you but I don't see him in the emergency ward yesterday .. Since I was on duty " 

" yeah ... true .. Most of the time I just saw him here in the lounge " said Takao 

Tsukiko was surprised . What was the meaning of this ? She decided to push all the negative thoughts away and not to dwell on it . 

" well ... maybe there is one that you might miss ? or maybe he was helping other departments" said Tsukiko 

" well .. that maybe the probability .. " said Takao 

" yep. I guess we should stay positive about it " 

" em " nodded Tsukiko 

Little that she knew , what was in store for her in the next few days .
