Looking at the sleeping figure of Riko, a bitter smile hung on Kento's lips. How can he forget what she did for him?

Reaching out a little, Kento traced the contours of Riko's dried lips. Suddenly, Riko's finger moved a little and she stirred. Eyes opened up slowly, and Kento found only gasp. She's finally waking up. Riko blinked a little, and Kento had immediately called for the doctor.

Sitting outside, Kento waited impatiently for the doctor to finish the check up on Riko. The sliding door slid opened, revealing Doctor Tanaka, the doctor in-charge of Riko in Japan. "How is she?"

Doctor Tanaka only smiled gently at Kento as he nodded. "She's fine for now, since her tumor had been removed successfully in America. But we're still not sure if that removal had caused any brain damage."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Kento eyed Doctor Tanaka for a moment. "And yes, Kento-kun. You can see her now. Just don't stress her."

Without wasting a second, Kento disappeared into Riko's ward.

On the bed, Riko stared out of the window; her hair was now dangling around her waist. Well, it has been three years since she was bald.

Hearing the soft sound of the sliding door, her attention was now on Kento. Before Kento spoke, Riko's soft voice rang through the ward. "You're Nakajima Kento right?"

Kento just nod his head. He didn't understand why Riko was asking him that question. A smile tugged on Riko's lips as she looked at the other boy.

"Sorry, I just know your name. What is our relationship anyway? Why am I here?"

Kento was now at Riko's bedside. With the close distance, Kento could clearly see that he younger girl was frightened. Placing a hand on Riko's head, he started to comb her hair with his fingers.

"Don't be scared. I'll tell you."

Lying on the rehearsal room's sofa, Yuto thought about the scene he had saw previously. The hospital. They had been notified by Doctor Tanaka that a patient called 'Takasugi Riko' had transferred to that hospital from America.

Doctor Tanaka was Yuto's father's friend, so he had kindly provided Yuto with the information.

That night, when they went to the hospital, they saw her. Takasugi Riko after 3 years. Although he wasn't sure, Yuto thought he had saw Kento in a corner.

Why?

“So what do you remember so far, Ri-chan?” Somehow, Riko had warmed up to Kento and was now resting her head on Kento’s shoulder. Shaking her head, she just muttered. “I only remember your face, your name and my name. That’s probably all of the memories I have left.” 

Kento sat in front of Riko on the bed, “Let’s start from the start than. We knew each other in America, when we’re both having treatment there.” Cocking her head to the side, Riko blinked at Kento.

“America? What treatment?”

“You had a brain tumor, but it was removed three years ago. However that had partly caused you to get into a comatose state for three years until now, and it’s probably why you’ve forgot everything, except for bits and pieces of stuffs.” Riko nod her head, and her finger traced a scar on her head. So that’s why a scar was there.

Perking up, she looked at Kento with innocent eyes. “Partly? So what’s another reason?” Looking out of the window, Kento had a bitter smile on his lips. 

“You underwent two surgeries at a go. The first one was a liver transplant, to me. And later, you went for a tumor removal surgery.” A blush surfaced on Kento’s cheeks as he saw Riko lifting her hospital shirt a little, tracing the scar that ran over her abdomen. Crawling nearer to Kento, she placed her hand on Kento’s chest.

“Can I see it? The scar.”

Nodding, Kento allowed Riko to lift up his shirt a little. The scar was exactly like Riko’s, and he stiffened a little as Riko’s finger touched his scar.

“If you hadn’t donated part of your liver to me, I would have died in the car accident three years ago. My liver was damaged in that accident in America.” Riko was now listening to him again. “So I must have known you for awhile before you got into the accident?”

Kento nodded, “I visited the hospital once, to visit a relative of mine. And I saw you. Apparently, you saw me on TV, and well, we just started talking and became good friends.”

A knock on the door was heard, and a nurse came in. “Takasugi-san, Doctor Tanaka said that it’s alright for you to be discharged.” Nodding a little, the nurse went out. 

“Where am I going? I don’t remember a thing, or even my parents! How am I going to survive even if I get discharged?”

A pout surface on her lips, and Kento only chuckled at the younger girl’s behaviour. “You can move in with me. At least you remember my name, and I’m probably the only one that you know for now.” Her eyes started sparkling, and she jumped onto Kento.

“Thank you Kento-kun!” Riko didn’t even notice that she had called the older boy by his first name.

“Yuto-kun, what are you thinking about?” Ryosuke sat down on the floor beside the sofa where Yuto was lying down.

The taller boy only shook his head. “It’s Riko-chan that we saw back than right?” Nodding Ryosuke looked at his boyfriend with worried eyes. “Let’s visit her tonight.”

“Aren’t we going to tell Aiko-chan that she’s back and in a coma?” Ryosuke looked at Yuto sitting up, and saw his boyfriend shaking his head. 

“We need to find out what had happened to Takasugi first.”

When both of them reached the hospital after rehearsal, they got the shock of their life. At the receptionist, the nurse only smiled at them.

“I’m sorry, but Takasugi Riko-san has already been discharged today.”
