When snow turns into spring, you would know what your precious thing is.
Ohno loves winter. Cold, silent, and pure white. He hates spring: its happiness and cheerfulness which leads to noise.
He loves peace, silence, and calm.
But this winter, he found some cheerfulness at his shop.
Ohno Satoshi runs a bakery, inherited from his father who had also inherited it from his own father. He has been loving bread since his childhood, fascinated by the fragrance and the golden brown color of the bread freshly baked. He loves his life and his job, except for this cheerful costumer.
“Good Morning, Ohno-san!” the costumer greats him with his big smile and his shining face like usual.
“Good morning” he mumbles, not interested with the happiness.
“I want 2 of...”
“Melon bread and one cup of hot chocolate” Ohno murmurs, already familiar with the order. Always the same. Every day. And this guy always comes at 7 o’clock, when it is just him in the shop since his staff comes at 8.
This guy sits at the table near the counter, where Ohno sits everyday, and he keeps on babbling about everything in front of him (and Ohno would listen while feeling sleepy and bored). Some things he knows about the man is his name, Ninomiya Kazunari, that he is working as IT staff at some company and that he is younger than Ohno.
“So, Ohno-san, you know, my Mom says that chocolate can make you more relax and relieve your stress, so I am buying hot chocolate because......”
He is always babbling like that, and Ohno has wondered if his mom had swallowed a flute during the pregnancy or something, because this guy can’t stop talking and never gives Ohno a chance to reply.
And he is a jolly person. He fills Ohno’s bakery with a loud voice, making a fuss about everything. If only he wasn’t a loyal customer and wasn’t coming this early in the morning, perhaps Ohno would have kicked him out.
*****
Today, he is coming again in the afternoon, while Ohno is getting ready to close the shop. His face is pale and he looks panicked.
“Ano, Ohno-san. I think my notebook has been switched with someone else's. This is not mine” he shows a small black notebook. The type of notebook that is owned by many people.
“Oh. Maybe it has been switched with someone. You came late this morning, when there were a lot of customers
already...” Ohno guesses.
“Yes. Today, I came late. Because I couldn’t sleep last night”
“Oh”
Like I want to know. Ohno sighs inwardly.
“Ohno-san. Please, help me to find my notebook, because it’s important to me” Ninomiya begs him, face full of hope.
Ohno is actually too lazy to get involved in some trouble, but Ninomiya is one of his customers and he should help him to find his notebook back.
But, how can he find the person who has switched the notebook with him? There are more than fifty customers every morning.
“I remember that this morning there were two guys sitting beside me. Maybe my notebook was taken by one of them.” Ninomiya infers.
“Isn’t there the name of the person on this one?” Ohno asks.
“No. There isn’t” He answers in a weak voice.
Something about his weak voice is bothering Ohno.
Ohno tries to remember the other two costumers. One of them is his neighbour, Tanaka-san and the other is his Grandfather’s friend who lives far away from here. The old man always comes to his bakery because the shop reminds him of his old friend.
“I think I know them”
“Really? Can you tell me where they live” Ninomiya shouts with enthusiasm.
“Yes. One of them is my neighbour. I will take you to him after I finish closing the shop”
“Thank you so much Ohno-san!” Suddenly, Ninomiya grabs his hand tightly and shakes it happily, a bright smile lighting his face.
Ohno feels a little beat in his heart. Just a little.
***
“Sorry, but I don’t have any notebook” Tanaka says when they come to his house.
“I’m sorry to bother you” Ninomiya bows deeply, looking sad and disappointed.
When they walk out from Tanaka’s house, he doesn’t speak. Ohno suddenly feels his silence really annoying.
But he doesn’t know why.
“Maybe the notebook is at my grandfather’s friend. He lives far from here. It’s about 2 hours by train” he tries to comfort the other man.
“But I don’t know where he lives...” Nino replies.
Neither do I. Ohno thinks.
There is a long silence, like Nino is thinking about something hard.
“A-no, Ohno-san. Tomorrow is Sunday. Your shop will be closed, right…?”
“Yes...”
“If you don’t mind...”
“Yes?”
“Would you come with me?”
“Where?”
“To your grandfather’s friend home”
I was planning to go fishing tomorrow! But Ohno doesn’t word his thought out.
“Please. The notebook is very important to me” he begs Ohno again with his innocent brown eyes and pitiful face.
Ohno must be crazy or something, because he nods his okay to the other man.
***
“Can I ask you something?” Ohno asks him the next day, when they are already sitting in the train.
“Yes” the man answers cheerfully. His face seems really happy, Ohno notices, probably because he will have his notebook back.
“Why is the notebook important to you?”
There is a long silence, as if Nino is trying to find the right answer.
“Err… because there’s an important letter inside the notebook” he smiles brightly. Something about his smile makes Ohno warm.
“Oh.”
Ohno feels very curious about the letter, and forgets some of his animosity towards the young man.
***
“The beginning of spring is always awesome, nee. You can see the seeds of flowers growing. Isn’t it awesome? ” Nino says, looking out the window with great enthusiasm.
“Yeah” Ohno is not interested about the beginning of spring.
“My Mom told me that when the snow turns into spring we will know our precious thing” Nino continues, still looking out.
“And why it must be during spring?” Ohno asks, irritated that the other man is back to his cheerful and chattering self.
“Because when spring begins all of the coldness and loneliness will disappear and we can see the beautiful things around us more clearly”
Beautiful things?
Ohno never thought about that.
After one hour of babbling non-stop the cheerful man falls asleep against Ohno’s shoulder. This time, Ohno looks intensely at the man’s face. His smooth black hair, his small and cute nose, and his tiny-pink lips. Ohno is wondering how it feels to kiss those lips.
He shakes his head, looking at the scenery outside and throwing those thoughts away.
I must be crazy
***
“I’m really sorry. Because of my clumsiness you had to come here” Kenji Hikawa, Ohno’s grandfather’s friend says when they are sitting in his house.
“No. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have taken the wrong notebook” Nino answers. He looks so relieved because he has his notebook back.
“Sorry for bothering you Jii-chan” Ohno adds.
“No. I’m happy. Having a visit from two excited young men is an honor for me” he laughs.
After talking for a while and eating lunch, they ask to leave. Hikawa escorts them to leave and pats Nino’s back softly.
“Good Luck Young Man. I have known him for years. He is just clueless. Hahaha” and he laughs out loud while Nino’s face become so red and he looks at the ground.
Ohno doesn’t understand at all.
***
When they are back to Tokyo, the younger doesn’t say anything to Ohno. Again, he becomes silent. But this time he doesn’t look sad and it makes Ohno wonder why he is suddenly so calm.
They part in front of the bakery.
“Ohno-san. Thank you so much for coming with me, today”
“It’s OK”
“Good night, then” Nino says.
“Good night” Ohno turns around to his home feeling tired and hoping he can sleep as soon as possible.
“Wait, Ohno-san!” Nino calls him again. Ohno turns back to see his pale face.
“Huh? What it is?”
“Actually. I have something to say...”
“Hmm?”
“About the letter in the notebook...”
“Yes..?”
“I know, you will think that I am crazy or something, but the letter is written to you....” This time, Nino is totally
blushing.
“What?”
“It’s so old style, right? Writing a love letter. I insisted on looking for this notebook because I don’t want anything break my courage. I also think that I’m like a stupid girl. But, please read this” he gives Ohno a yellow envelope.
His face looks very serious, but shows his earnestness.
“Please, think about that” He bows and quickly turns around and leaves.
Ohno never thought he would get a love letter from a guy. He waits to be home, on his couch, to open the envelop and read.
Dear Ohno-san
I am always doing things that bore or annoy you
this is me, my honest smile is the only thing I can boast to you
I’m just a clumsy guy
But, the reason I’m babbling over and over again is
Because I love You
Ohno folds the letter and thinks about spring and beautiful things. Usually he never thinks about it because he is Ohno and loves calm and silence. And even though this man is really bothering his endless chattering sometimes brings joy in Ohno’s heart.
He is looking out of his window. Although the night is dark he can see the seeds of flowers that start to grow on a tree next to his house, inviting for a new beginning.
Maybe noise is not that bad.
***
Today Ninomiya is late. Ohno has been waiting for him since 7 in the morning but the younger man didn’t show his face and it is now almost 10 o’clock.
Doesn’t he have to go to work today? Or maybe he got cold because of yesterday’s trip?
Ohno wants to see him. He says to his staff to take care of the shop and puts his jacket on, walking out from the bakery without really knowing where to go. But suddenly he sees someone that looks exactly like Ninomiya sitting on the bench at the park near his shop. He approaches the younger man.
“Ninomiya-san. What are you doing here?” He asks.
Nino jerks from his sitting, his face flushed red.
“I...I was....”
“Yes?”
Nino bits his lower lip and Ohno chuckles, looking at him with an amused smile.
“You want to ask me about the letter?” He suggests.
Nino just nods lowering his head.
“So, why don’t you ask?”
“I...I was....”
“Nervous?”
Nino shakes his head. Ohno finds it funny how he becomes so quiet when is shy and embarrassed.
“Since when are you sitting here?”
“Err... since 7 o’clock” Nino still lowers his head.
“Ohno-san. I'm sorry to disturb you with this confession. But, even if you don’t feel the same we are still friends,
right?” he tries to be cheerful. A bright smile appears on his face, showing his sincerity and pure heart.
Suddenly, Ohno feels his heart flutter.
“So cute” Ohno says and takes Nino into his embrace, hugging him tight.
“O-Ohno-san?” Nino whispers. Ohno releases his hug and smiles widely to Nino.
“Call me Satoshi, Kazu-chan”
“Sa-satoshi…” Nino tries, stuttering. His face becoming red.
“I always wondered why I found you so cute…”
“Eh, really?” he shouts happily.
“And how it’d feel to kiss your lips”
“W-Whaat....”
Before Nino can say something else Ohno is kissing him gently. Nino feels his heart pounding hard thanks to the sudden kiss. Ohno tilts his head a little, deepening the kiss. He parts Nino’s lips and pulls him into a passionate one. As expected, kissing Nino feels really wonderful.
Ninomiya’s mother is right. When the spring begins, you can clearly find many beautiful things around you. And those beautiful things definitely can make you happy.
Maybe spring is not that bad.
