Seventeenth Chance
"Hikaru, no breakfast ?"
Hikaru turn his head toward his calling Mother from inside the kitchen. "No, Mom. Sorry. But I received some emergency just now." He said rather hurriedly. "Bye, Mom."
Hikaru's mother could only sigh at her son's departure. "I hope Yamada-kun is okay." She mumbles to herself, already knowing that the boy could be the only reason why Hikaru was behaving that way.
On the other hand, Hikaru is already half-running to the main street. As soon as he got there, he quickly halt the first taxi available and tell the driver to rush over to the hospital. He couldn't careless right now. Not after what Ryosuke's parents just informed him through a mail just now.
"Yama-chan..." He whispers worriedly as the car is speeding it's way to where Ryosuke, and presumably the rest of JUMP's members, are.

"How is he ?" Hikaru quickly asked as soon as he arrived outside the room where Ryosuke is currently being tended in, not really choosing someone in particular to asnwer his question.
"It's bad. He suddenly had a seizure for no reasons. Sugihara-sensei is looking at him right now, so he should be fine soon." Apparently, it was Keito who answered his question.
Hikaru sweeped his eyes frantically around the crowded hall and landed his eyes on one lanky fugire slumping on the corner. From the look of it, this figure is on the verge of crying already. Hikaru sigh before he slowly make his way to the said figure. But it seems that someone is beating him on doing so.
"Yuto !" Every eyes immediately focused on the sudden yell erupted from none other that their so-called Mama. "What happened ? You were the one who was with Yama-chan when this happened right ? Tell me what happened ?" Yabu seemed frustated with the way he put both of his hands on Yuto's shoulders and demanding for an answer.
Hikaru sigh oncee again before continuing his way to the two boys. "Kota, stop it ! Yuto was still shocked from what had happened and you just went about to point a finger at him ! Get a grip, will you ?" Hikaru hissed as he pulls Yabu's hands away from Yuto's shoulders.
Hikaru watched as Yabu's head slumped. "I know. I- I'm sorry."
"Why don't you go and cool your head down for a bit ? It's not good to be hot-headed now." Suggested Hikaru which is answered with a nod before the oldest member of JUMP walked away sluggishly to where the restroom is.
"I'll go with him. You take care of Yuto here." Inoo pops out before he follows Yabu away.
"Yeah." Hikaru whispers quietly before turning his face toward the now more desperate-looking boy. "Hey, Yuto, let's take a walk. Yama-chan's treatment usually takes sometimes so we still have times to roam around the hospital. What do you think ?"
Hikaru is met with a soundless nod from the said boy who didn't even bothered to look at him.
"Okay then. Let's go." Hikaru literally have to drag the boy to make him move from his spot and headed toward the cafetaria. As soon as he got there, he quickly scanned through the menu available. "Hey, are you hungry ? Do you want to have something ?"
A shake of head was offered as his answer as the boy standing beside him still said no words whatsoever.
"O-kay." Hikaru then turn to face the cafeteria lady. "I'll have the usual Baa-chan and 2 hot chocolates please."
"Right away, Yaotome-san." The cafeteria lady smile, as she get the usual Bento package Hikaru always bought there. "Here they are." The lady give his orders before Hkaru pay his purchases and walk toward the nearest table.
"Here, Yuto. A hot chocolate could always warm you up." He gives one of the chocolate cup to Yuto's hand and wait as the boy nodded his head and take a sip from his drink before digging into his food.
"Thanks, Hikaru-kun." Yuto said rather lifelessly.
Hikaru sigh at the sight. It is rare to see the usually loud boy become so silent like this. However, the incident that had happened must have been a great shock for the boy, so Hikaru wasn't surprised to see the sudden change of behaviour.
"Look, I understand how you are feeling, Yuto, but it wasn't your fault, okay ? It's not something that we did not expected. So just, relax. There's no one to blame here." Hikaru try to console the boy sat before him.
Yuto slowly shake his head. "No, Hikaru-kun. It was my fault. When Yama-chan showed a sign of abnormality, I just shrugged it off. And when he was started to have a seizure, I was too stunned to do anything. If only I was quick on doing something when the sign start showing up. If only I was fast enough to call for help when Yama-chan started seizing. Then maybe his condition wouldn't be so bad right now !" Yuto's voice sounded strained as he finally poured down his emotions into droplets of tears which are wetting his face now.
"Yuto..." Hikaru call out hesitantly. "I, I understand. Trust me, I do. You were just too surprised to be able to do anything, and that is perfectly normal. So, no one is blaming you here. So stop blaming yourself, Yuto."
"But, Yabu-kun..."
"Kota was just being emotional, and you know that." Hikaru interrupt him. "I won't stop you from weeping, but I want you to stop blaming yourself over this, okay ?" When he does not receive an answer, Hikaru try once again. "Yuto ? You will do it, right ? You surely know that Yama-chan won't like it if you keep on blaming yourself over this."
After a few more hiccupping, Yuto finally wipe the tears away from his face and nod at Hikaru. "I-Okay. I will."
Hikaru smile at this. "Good. Now finish your chocolate and let's return to the others. I believe it's about time until we get to see our Yama-chan again."
"Hai." Yuto smile before gulping down the rest of his chocolote as Hikaru finished his meal before the two of them return to where the other members are.

"Hey."
"Hey."
"You're not going ?"
"No. Not yet."
"You know, you look like a living corpse already. You should go outside and get some fresh air."
"I will, later."
"It'd been 5 days already, for Goodness' sake, Kota ! And you barely left this room ! If we didn't persuaded you, you wouldn't even left to grab some meals !"
"I know."
"*sigh* Look, Kota, I know you are worried. But this is not the way. We're all worried, but it's not like there's much for us to do except to wait."
"..."
"Kota..."
"He's in a comatose, Hikaru. Can you believe it ?"
"Wha- no, of course it's not easy to believe it."
"I see. I wonder why this happened though."
"Everyone does. But whether you believed it or not, it happened. And it's out of our reach to control. Let's just- Let's just hope that Yama-chan will be okay."
"... Yeah, you're right."
"So, you're going now ? I'll stay here for you."
"I will, but later."
"Kota !"
"I know, I know ! Just, just give me 5 minutes, okay ? I will leave afterward."
"Once you leave, you make sure to take care of yourself properly. Clean your zombified body, and fill your stomach with real food."
"Alright, alright."
"Oh, and I have Takaki waiting outside just in case."
"Takaki ?"
"Yeah. He said he hates the smell of this room, that's why he didn't come in. But we both know him, he's just a scaredy-cat."
"Hahaha.. You're right."
"Of course I do. Now go. Your 5 minutes are over."
