The Dreamers
Last blow
Once upon a time, in a quiet night.
…
BUCK!!!
Hiro was pushed hard against the wall. This happened in front of the student dormitory. “Aduhh..,” Hiro groans in pain.
“That's all you got Hiro? Comeing! Fight me!”
It turned out to be the work of a group of other students who had long disliked Hiro who achieved this. Hiro was confronted with one of the students, but it was only a trap to gang him up one on five.
...
Hiro's face was already battered, but they still hadn't stopped beating Hiro. Hiro had absolutely no chance to fight back. He was just cornered and resigned to the situation.
Everything looks gray to Hiro every time he takes a hit. Hiro's gaze blurred as the final blow slid onto his face.
BUAKK!!
…
Hiro was unconscious. He didn't know what happened that night.
…
...
The next day, he had already woken up in a different room from his dorm. His eyes looked around, all white and clean. “Am I dead?” Thought Hiro.
But after a while Hiro came to his senses and tried to get up, he felt all over his body ache. He also realized that his clothes had changed to light green. Hiro was in the hospital. “Why can I be here? What happened?” Hiro tries to remember what really happened but can't.
Until someone enters the room. Hiro can recognize someone, he is one of the rectors at the University, his name is Mr. Taniguchi who often boasts of Hiro's achievements in sports.
“Master? Mr..Taniguchi?” Hiro asked guessing because actually his eyes were still a little blurry.
“Yes, it's me, Taniguchi. You must be confused why it's here?”
“Master knows the reason?” Hiro.
“Iya, I know exactly what happened,”
Mr. Taniguchi also began to tell the incident last night where Hiro was shocked by several students to unconsciousness.
Hiro started to remember the incident. “Lantas, what happened?”
Mr. Taniguchi also said that after Hiro was unconscious, there was a student who caught the boycott. He's the one who saved Hiro from a worse attack. If it wasn't for him, it could have been that Hiro was suffering even worse than this.
“Hah? A student? So not Ryota?” Thought Hiro. “Master.., if you may know, who is that student?”
“He's your major friend, his name is Izumi Misaki,”
“Izumi?”
“Yes, unfortunately last night when we drove you to the hospital, he went straight home. He only left it to me if you were in the hospital,”
“Wait.., he took me to this hospital? by himself? Midnight?”
“Iya, so,”
“Oh so,”
Taniguchi stood up and said goodbye to Hiro. “Alright, I want permission to go back to campus first. Today you rest until you recover.”
“Good sir,”
“You don't have to worry Hiro. The people who harmed you have been identified, and I promise to give you the punishment,”
“Thanks sir,”
“Alright, I resigned. Sorry for the inconvenience. The campus will cover all hospital costs.”
That way, Mr. Taniguchi stepped out of the room leaving Hiro alone.
...
“Izumi.., I must thank him when he recovers,” Hiro Desis.
…
...
Hiro's recovery process takes up to 2 weeks. Hiro's father was so worried about his son's situation, but Hiro always acted strong when Dad visited him.
By the time Hiro returned to school, he was no longer receiving ill treatment, it seemed like everyone had been arrested because the last group of people who had been ganged up on Hiro had been expelled from the University and charged.
...
Hiro's condition has improved and is ready to return to campus.
Hiro's days on campus will go better from now on. But Hiro still has to do something. “Izumi Misaki! Is there a person named Izumi Misaki?”
Hiro called the name in front of 100 people in the same class. Of those 100 people, only a few were known to Hiro. Izumi was not included in it.
“Who is he?”
“Isn't he the student who got ganged up on it?”
“Hiro is his name?”
"Yes that's Hiro.., I know him,"
Until then, there was a woman who raised her hand and replied, “I.., I'm Izumi,”
“Oh, you yes.., can you please come out for a moment?”
The woman nodded and stood up. While looking down he walked out of the classroom to meet Hiro. “What's Hiro?” Ask.
“Are you the one who helped me in the crack two weeks ago?”
“Iya,”
"I just want to thank you,"
"All right," Izumi said.
“But I was curious, Why did you do it? that was such a bold move!”
“Because you're my friend,”
“Really? I don't even know you?”
“True. But I know you.”
Hiro sighed. “Good. Actually I have a lot of questions for you, but I'll be short,”
“Alright,”
“Alright, your name is Izumi right?”
“True,” Say Izumi.
“Did you help me last night and take me to the hospital 600 metres from the hostel?”
“True,”
Hiro was a little surprised. “Is it true that you did it to me for thinking I'm a friend?”
“True and No,” Izumi Reply.
“True and no? You mean?”
Izumi started explaining everything to Hiro. “Actually, since the first time we walked into the campus, I've been watching you without you noticing,”
“Heh?”
Izumi also continued to say that she always stalked Hiro everywhere. His favorite lunch, his habit, his close friend, came to the nitty-gritty of his life.
“Ah, really? I can't believe, try me a test.”
“Please,”
“Who is my father's name?”
“Takehiro Moriyasu,”
“My favorite color?”
“Orange,”
“Hobiku?”
Izumi exhaled and replied, “Soccer. Everyone here knows that you're a great footballer Hiro..,"
“Alright, that's enough,” Hiro is pretty sure. “The bottom line, why are you doing all this?”
"You sure you want to know the point?"
"Oh yes of course," Hiro said.
"Alright, to shorten the time, I will say it," Izumi closed her eyes. “All this I do, because I like you, will you be my girlfriend?”
“Hahaha funny,”
“You asked, but why are you laughing?" Izumi. "You can laugh now, but you don't know how many of my friends like you!” Izumi said seriously.
“Heh?? You said seriously?”
“Iya.., that's of course! Only I am this brave to express my feelings to you! Others do not dare to be afraid..,” Apparently Izumi was really telling the truth.
Hiro could not say a word at this moment. He was still doubtful of the truth of Izumi's words.
“Then from that, I asked once again.., will you be my girlfriend?” Ask Izumi again. He was really expecting an answer from Hiro at the moment as well.
“Eee.. how about yes.?” Hiro was confused as to what to say. Everything is too fast for Hiro.
Suddenly the bell in class rang.
KRIEG!!
“Ahhaa! You heard that! Time to enter the classroom.., hehe,” Hiro immediately ran into the classroom and left Izumi outside.
“Hiro! What's your answer!!”
“Later!! Shouted Hiro.
…
This isn't Hiro. He had never felt anything like this before. Hiro is the type of person who gets hurt more often than loved.
There was no sense that Hiro felt when he was with someone else. Family factors greatly influence it. Losing the figure of Mother in childhood, it had become quite a trauma for Hiro to no longer feel the loss.
