I get home from a long day of meetings and recordings that I decide to take off my heels and become the couch potato I am when I get a text from Yuki.

"Hey, I'm done with my meetings and I was wondering if you would want to go for a walk and talk" Is what his text said. But keep in mind that its 10:20 at night and I have been in meetings and the studio since 8:00 am. But despite this I text back "sure" grab my purse,Check if my wallet and keys are in my purse once I'm done with that I put on black boots and head out the door.

Once I'm out the door I take the bus to the park Yuki is there waiting by a metal pole still dressed in his suit from the meeting we had earlier this morning.

"Hey" I say waving. And walking over to him

"Hey , you look nice" He said looking at my dress. As I continue looking at myself checking if there was something that I needed to fix he was already walking.

I catch up to him and we walk in silence when he finally said something to break the awkward silence.

"Do you want something to drink or eat?" He said

"yeah" I said finding a seat at the bench.

YUKI'S POV

I walk over to the Stan that sells snacks and drinks. I get a Mocha canned coffee and seaweed flavored chips for me and I get Aika a warm hot cocoa and a kitty cocoa doughnut. I walk over to wear she's sitting and notice that she was cold so I handed her my jacket and placed it around her shoulders. After that I hand her her snack and drink.

"So how long have you been a singer?" I ask her opening my can of coffee

"For about two to three years, how long have you been a actor" She says mixing in her whipped cream into the cocoa.

"For about 3 to 4 years" I say taking a sip of my coffee

"Wow really, that's amazing. I'm still a rookie so it kinda sucks" She says with this stupid cute glare in her eyes.

End of Yuki's POV

I am walking beside Yuki when I get a text from my mother's doctor.

*Earlier that day*

I went to visit my mother in the hospital to check on how she is doing with her TBI that was caused from a car collision a couple years back. I enter KOBE hospital and check in with the nursing staff and as usual I get a visitor's pass and go to her room 10-A.

"Hey, mom" I say softly

"Hi,Aika. My darling how are things going?" She says looking at me with her eyes half closed

"Don't worry about me mom, I'm fine" I say holding her hands in mine. It's been two or three years since she was admitted in the hospital.

I helped pay her medical bills even though the doctor insisted that I didn't have to I needed to because I felt like I could do nothing for my mother while she is stuck in this bed in discomfort. She was in such pain that it sometimes hurt to visit her.

"Listen Aika, I don't have much time left and I want you to know that you aren't responsible for the decision I'm going to make" She said looking at me tears welling up in her eyes.

"I've decided I would-" But as she was about to finish the doctor needed to speak to me in private so I told my mom to hold her though while I go and talk to the doctor.

" Ms. Aiyama, I'm afraid I have to cut your visit short because we have to perform surgery on her and she has requested that you better not see" Said doctor Mashida

"B-but I can wait right?" I say in panic she hadn't told me about this surgery and she would usually let me wait for her procedure to done so we could talk once she was awake.

"I'm afraid not" Said doctor Mashida

"Okay,I'll take my leave now" I said

"WAIT, there is a letter she wants you to read if this procedure doesn't go well" He says handing me this clean and white envelope.

And like that I take my leave and take the bus to the studio to record my song " Me Gustas Tu"

End of flashback

I open my phone and go to my text messages.

Dr. Mashida: Ms. Aiyama I'm afraid to deliver the news over text like this but I'm afraid to say that your mother did not have a strong enough heart to survive the surgery

I start scamming through the text on my phone when I see the phrase "did not have a strong enough heart to survive the surgery" My live fell apart at that moment. She was the only person I had in my family to care for I have no one else.

When Yuki notices me not moving he walks back to me.

Yuki's POV

Aika didn start walking so I had to walk back to her and wait -_-

Ẅhy are you just standing there like that Aika? we're going to miss the bus if you don't hurry and walk" I say with my hands in my pockets.

"I just need a minute Yuki" She said a tremble in her voice that breaks

"W-well we better get going or else the bus is going to leave" I say offering my hand to her as a kind gesture.

END OF YUKI"S POV

I stand there still looking at Yuki's extended hand and wondering if I take it and be free from this guilt and remorse.

I take it and start walking beside him. But when we get to the bus stop he let's go and stands in front of me.

"What's up you looked happy and content a minute ago?" He says stuffing his hands in his pockets of his jeans

"Nothing just personal stuff"  I say looking at him his eyes meeting me in the most awkward eye contact ever.
