My phone rang.

"Hello?" I said.

"HIYORI! How are you? Everything cool?" Yuka asked with excitement.

"Oh! Hello, Yuka. Everything is fine here. Miyu got discharged from the hospital. We are staying at the doctor's house right now." I said.

"Ask Miyu to take care and get healthy soon. I miss you guys so much." She said.

"I'm taking care of Miyu. I'll bring her back soon. Just hang in there. I also miss Shota and you." I said.

"Well, Shota has been talking to Rento lately. He told me that Rento reached there. Did you guys meet him?" She asked.

"Yeah. We did." I replied.

"Okay. You didn't get any time to go out and explore the city. Did you?" She asked.

"No. I'll go out when Miyu gets well. I promise I'll send you the pictures." I giggled.

"Yay! Waiting for that day." She said loudly.

"Haha. You have the notes with you, right?" I asked.

"Of course. Shota has them too. He will give them to Rento and I will give them to Miyu and you." She said.

"Done." I said.

"Say 'Hello' to Miyu and Saki-senpai for me. I'll be going then. Sayonara." She said happily.

"Sayonara." I answered and hung up.

I was about to keep my phone in the pocket but it slipped from my palm. Suddenly, someone caught it and gave it back.

"Smart phones are delicate. Aren't they?" He said while giving it back.

"Uh yes." I looked up.

"Plus when they become your life then you nearly freak out when they break." He laughed.

"True. I have almost everything in my phone. My throat was jammed till you got hold of my phone. Thank you." I gave a relieving sigh.

"That's not a big deal. I was just passing by. Maybe that was luck. Hehe." He smiled.

"Well, I never saw you in the hospital. Mind if I ask who you are?" I said.

"Oh yeah! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm a junior doctor. Dr. Jayden appointed me for taking care of a patient here. He instructed me about everything so you don't have to worry at all." He explained.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Hiyori Shirai. What's your name?" I asked.

"Woah! You're a Japanese. Hardly met any Japanese for 5 years. You looked like one so I already guessed that. My name is Jun Kobayashi. Nice to meet you too." He forwarded his hand for a handshake.

"You're a Japanese too?! Great! You didn't look like an American anyway. My country mate. Hehe." I shook hands with him.

"I lived in Japan but became a doctor here. Sometimes, I visit my parents but can't stay there for long. I really miss Japan." He sighed.

"That must be hard for you. Where did you live in Japan?" I asked.

"I'm from Osaka. Where are you from?" He asked back.

"Tokyo." I replied.

"I visited Tokyo twice. It's a nice place." He smiled.

"It's my hometown and my current city too." I said.

"Can we be friends?" He grinned.

"I already consider you my friend. Hehe." I laughed.

"Yay! I'll help you travel around, if you don't mind." He asked.
