Her Shooting Star

Chapter 18: The Unexpected Confession

"What? How is she right now?" Jurina asked.

Yuki looked at her, trying to listen to their conversation. "Hey, what's wrong?" Sasshi asked upon noticing the uneasiness of Yuki who was helping her prepare their dinner. She shook her head. "Nothing." Yuki replied.

"I understand. I'm glad that she's fine now. But can I go there?" Jurina asked. "No. Not now. Just focus first on your studies. You have an exam coming, right?" Rena replied.
"But I want to see Mayu!"

"No buts, Jurina! I know you want to see her right now, but you need to study first. I'm sure Mayu wouldn't want you to fail because of her. And besides when your exams are done, I'll let you see her anyway."

"Promise?"

"Promise. By the way, how is everything going there?" Her sister asked. "Well, Yuki-chan and her sister have already settled. They were already done packing their belongings to their rooms."

"That's good to hear. Anyways, I need to go back now. I'll go there this weekend."

"Alright. See you then." Jurina said before she hung up.

"Did something happened?" Yuki asked. Jurina nodded. "Mayu had a seizure earlier and we almost lost her if not for the quick response of the doctors."

"What?!" Yuki exclaimed, which made Jurina and Sasshi to look at her. "Yuki-can, relax. I know what you feel. I have the exact reaction when Rena-chan told me earlier. But she reassured me that Mayu is far from danger right now."

"That's good to hear. At least she is safe now."

Yuki kept tossing on her bed that night. She couldn't help but think about the news about Mayu earlier and somehow she has felt her heart twinge just by the thought that Mayu almost died earlier.

"Why am I feeling this way? She's just one hell of an annoying spoiled brat who loves to boss around..." She thought. She held onto her chest as turned over once again.

"Ah, this is bad..."

Yuki woked up early to prepare the breakfast for them. She has made her signature omelet rice and some soup.

After everything was done, she went to Sasshi's room. She was about to wake her up, but then she decided to just let her be after remembering how tired her friend was yesterday. She just left a note before leaving.

Yuki took the car with her and drive her way to the hospital.

When she arrived at the hospital, she went immediately to the Intensive Care Unit to look for Mayu, but to her surprise, the girl that she's looking for, wasn't there anymore.

"Excuse me, I'm looking for a patient named Watanabe Mayu." She said as she went to the nurses station.

"May I ask for the relationship to the patient?" the nurse asked. "I'm her friend. I were together with Dr. Matsui when we brought her here in the hospital a few days ago." Yuki explained.

"Patient Watanabe Mayu, has already been transferred to the private ward. You may follow that corridor to the right. Room 715." the nurse said.

"Thank you." Yuki then followed the instruction given by the nurse earlier.

"Room 715... 715... Ah there it is!" She said as she walked towards the room where Mayu was supposed to be staying.

Yuki took a deep breath before she opened the door to Mayu's room. She was expecting for the girl to be lying there on the bed with various apparatus attached to her body, but much to Yuki's surprise, she found the room empty as soon as she opened the door.
