"hello?"
“Uh…hello!”
"What's your name? It's Chiyo."
“Petai, nice to meet you.”
"this! Let's be friends!”
"okay"
This is the beginning of our story.
Listen to increase your reading enjoyment.
And have fun!
“Chiyo! Aren't you going to study?" The twins, who didn't look the same as Kurobu, said with a wave of his hand, calling him to his senses. Then he turned to look at Chiyo's gaze. There was a boy around the same age sitting in a wheelchair, looking blankly at the sky outside. “Oh! Do you like it? Hehe.”
“Uh, uh, that's it.” Seven-year-old Chiyo hid her shy face behind her textbook.
“Go in and say hello! Today is the first day of school. I probably won't teach it!”
With that, Kurobu pushed his twin towards the boy and ran out at the speed of light. Until Chiyo doesn't act right.
Okay! Just go in and say hello, I'm so shy.
"hello?"
“Uh…Hello!” he stammered back. Since the research center didn't have many children his age, his social skills were almost nonexistent.
"What's your name? It's Chiyo."
“Petai, nice to meet you.”
"this! Let's be friends!”
"okay"
"good morning!"
“Good morning to you too.”
“What should I play today?”
"What are you reading? Come sit with me."
“Sit. I'm reading about plants.”
“Oh! So interesting. Please tell me.”
“This plant is..”
“Why do you only eat bitter cocoa?”
“The doctor told me to stop sugar.”
"Then I'll eat as a friend!"
“Very bitter.”
“I told you already, hihi.”
“Eating it and eating it is delicious in a different way!?”
“But her face can't be looked at at all. You can add a little sugar.”
“Sorry I can't go outside to play.”
“Don't worry. Well, she's sick here. Oh! Take a look!” A small necklace with a photo holder in the middle was passed into the young man's hand. “Happy 10th birthday!”
He was slightly stunned before he fumbled with something on the head of the hospital bed, laughing in his throat.
“What a coincidence. Consider it a gift in advance!”
It's the same necklace, but the middle part can store digital formats.
“Then let's take a picture and put it in!”
“Outside the leaves are all falling..”
“..It's almost your birthday. Happy 14th birthday.”
“What a pity. The doctor said my body is very weak right now. I probably won't be able to go to your birthday party--”
“I already knew you wouldn't last beyond the winter.”
"..Chiyo.. I'm sorry..that I wasn't there to wish you good wishes at that time."
“It's okay, I just can't accept it..” She made a bitter expression. “Please let there be a miracle, Lord. Buddha or whatever! Please..”
“Tomorrow I have to have surgery and I'm so excited. You don't have to look so sad, I'm fine.”
He smiled mischievously at Chiyo, who sat with her head down in a depressed state.
"..Does piercing the IV line hurt.."
“Come on, you've asked like this 3-4 times already. It doesn't hurt in the slightest.” Phethai smiled cheerfully as he began to feel weary.
This surgery has only a 10% chance of being successful. Even though I was able to make it through the surgery, my physical condition began to fail until I could feel it. Both he and I know in our hearts.. Because of that.. If I don't say it now, I might not say it again forever..
“This..I like it. I love you very much.” She lowered her head even further because she didn't want the other party to see her tear-stained face.
“Love you too. Thank you for being everything for 7 years. You are like my whole world,” he began, his voice trembling. “I am very happy. Please help me not forget the memories we made together. Let it be in the past..”
“..Please live my life for me. ..There must be someone better than me waiting.” He smiled through tears. “Let this be just a memory. And bring lots of happiness in the future!”
Silent sobs sounded in the patient's square room.
“Sorry I can't wish you a happy birthday any longer. So happy birthday in advance every year! Just a little.”
“Drink water!”
“Thank you too for giving me happiness for 7 years. I will never forget it. Because of that, hello..”
"hello?"
“Uh…hello!”
All the memories passed quickly like flowers wilting outside.
“..and good night.”
“If it doesn't succeed then...from now on this will be the longest rest I have. Please hold my hand.” A thin hand met a cold, pale hand.
“I love you, goodbye..” He smiled softly again….
"goodbye.."
And that was the last conversation we had before he rested forever..
The picture seen in the foreground is the 4th floor. A young woman with long hair sat on a fence looking at the sky as the sun set. The bitter feeling in his chest combined with the tears that made him almost unable to breathe. My consciousness began to blur. My heart pounded in my chest. While the toes were almost without ground to step on, at that time
The patient's room returned to show a warning image..
..Please live my life for me.
In the end, some people sat and hugged the necklace that held precious memories, with tears flowing down continuously.
Even though I really wanted to follow along, I made this promise. So cruel..
A cool wind blew past, calling the consciousness of a young woman in a high school uniform. She wiped away her tears and walked down quietly, letting those feelings dilute with time..
"love"
