Yes, there is another Yiruma song to go along with this onesie called "Hope." Hmmm...I wonder what it's called?
Yea, it's pretty obvious if you ask me~ Hope - Yiruma (Piano)Yay~
------------------------------------------------------------------
The sun began to fade as the sky gradually blended into a fiery mix. Along with the majority of the growing crowd, Risa was aiming to board the six o’clock train in order to get home in time before her usually non-existing curfew. Today was a lucky, but also unlucky day. Firstly, the girl’s piano teacher had a sudden case of food poisoning, though in Risa’s mind, it was due to the fact that the wrinkly woman had absorbed too much of her student’s happiness that it became overwhelming, thus having to cancel all piano practices for the day. At the same time, her personal tutor had to cancel their regular meeting as well due to a family emergency. Yet, despite the girl’s plans (of doing absolutely nothing) to celebrate her few rare hours of sweet freedom, she was somehow manipulated by a certain bunny to go on a “date”. Perhaps, the worst out of all the dates she had ever gone on, though that was quite a small number.
‘Never again. There’s a reason she has a restraining order against her. Crazy woman...’ Risa reminded herself, cringing at the thought of an unsuspecting Sayashi Riho being smothered by Sayumi, though the pianist began to smirk as a mental image of the tear stricken bunny permanently locked behind bars.
The near deafening whistle of the approaching train broke Risa out of her thoughts as the large car came to a halt. As hundreds of people began to file off the train to retire for the day, an equally large amount, if not bigger, of citizens began to board the train. The pianist soon found herself caught in the wave of chattering people. Within the already tiny compartment, people began to shift around in attempt to let others squish in. Risa was slowly pushed towards the middle, despite her attempts to stand her ground by holding onto the railing. Just as she felt her grasp loosen from its hold on the pole, another hand clamped itself onto Risa’s, causing the girl to look up at its owner. Her eyes locked with those filled with joy.
“Ahh Niigaki-senpai!” a familiar accented voice radiated. “Fancy meeting you here!”
“LinLin,” Risa plainly stated, gazing at the grinning girl before her. “I didn’t know you took the train home.”
The shorter girl chuckled at her senpai’s obvious statement, shuffling around in order to accommodate others, as well as make it easier for her to have a more pleasant conversation. “I’ve been taking this train since the beginning of the semester when I transferred. But you…I’ve never seen you on this train before! We should ride together more often if that’s the case.”
Risa cracked a small smile as she shook her head, politely rejecting the panda’s offer. “As much as I’d like that, I usually take the train that runs right when classes are over.”
“Ahh, that’s right. Ai-chan said you have piano lessons and tutoring right after school.”
A cringe overcame the older girl as she scoffed at the younger girl, muttering, though louder then she anticipated, “Of course Ai-chan would tell you everything.”
The two were met with a mutual silence as the train jolted back to life, slowly continuing its journey. As the surrounding people began to loudly converse with one another, the awkward atmosphere between the two increased. Nervously, Risa would every so often glance down at her watch, counting the minutes until her designated stop, while LinLin, on the other hand, silently stared down at her polished shoes, shifting from side to side once in a while.
“Niigaki-senpai…” the Chinese girl started hesitantly, daring not to make eye contact with the older girl. “…could I ask you a bit of a personal question?”
Confused at the sudden change in tone, the pianist couldn’t help but mutter a hushed ‘sure’ as her curiosity got the best of her.
“Do you…dislike me?”
Slowly, the pianist turned towards the Chinese girl once more, her expression filled with surprise. “LinLin…”
“Because…whenever I’m around, you don’t seem to convey the wonderful spirit Ai-chan describes you in. And I don’t think Ai-chan has the capability of lying…so it must be my fault right?”
Still overwhelmed with shock from LinLin’s brave, yet meek, statement, Risa gently clamped her free hand on the younger girl’s shoulder; while using her other hand to keep herself balanced while at the same time hold her bookbag. The pianist parted her lips as an attempt to deny these accusations, but slowly, memories of her animosity towards the innocent girl filled her mind. All the glares, snorts, and nasty thoughts that she had potrayed the younger girl returned to her mind, filling the pianist over the edge with guilt.
“I-I didn’t realize I was acting that way…” Risa stuttered, tightening her shaky grip on the younger girl. “I’m so sorry LinLin. I apologize for treating you in such a disrespecting manner. I’m sorry if I came off as such an unlikable person. I swear to you, I’m not usual like that. It’s just…”
“Are you in love Niigaki-senpai?”
Risa found herself locking eyes with the shorter girl. Her light brown orbs no longer conveyed the sadness it previously held, but instead, there was a spark of curiosity. “The way you look at Ai-chan…I’ve seen loving couples give each other the same look.”
Feeling ashamed that her crush was so obvious, Risa rectracted her hand from LinLin’s shoulder as it was her turn to solemly gaze at her shoes. She didn’t know what emotion was more overcoming- the fact that her one-sided love was so easily spotted by someone she barely knew (as well as by a certain bunny), or the co called taboo belief that she was clearly in love with another woman, who just so happened to be her best friend since the beginning of time.
“You don’t have to be embarrassed Niigaki-senpai. If anything, you have my full support.”
This time, the smaller girl clamped her hand on Risa’s back, rubbing comforting circles as a way to show her support. The pianist, though she kept her gaze down in order to hide her reddened cheeks, whispered a hushed “thank you.”
The rest of the ride was silence between the two. The girls repositioned themselves to simply standing side by side, as if they were complete strangers to each other. When the train came to a halt, Risa quickly rushed past the wave of people, nearly trampling over a petite woman in the process.
"Why the hell is she crouched over? This is a packed train! Geez..." With the regards of apologizing, the bean turned around, but in a blink of an eye, all she could see was a flash of red as the woman was ran off, blending into the crowd of people. Before she could react, a LinLin, once again grinning, took her place.
“I have faith in you Niigaki-senpai. You and Ai-chan are destined to be more than just friends, and I’ll support the both of you in any way possible.”
For the first time, Risa’s smile towards the younger girl was genuine. Taking in the Chinese girl’s hands into her own, the pianist shook them wildly as she repeatedly thanked the girl, as well as apologize for the one-sided dispute. As the two parted ways, LinLin waved good-bye to the sprinting form of the older girl, who despite her worries, was filled with a new found sense of hope.
As the short girl strolled through the neighborhood, her ears were filled with sounds of happy chirping from the small birds that flew around. A small smile graced her lips as she let out the heavy sigh she had been holding for who knows how long. Shakingly, LinLin reached into the pocket of her skirt, pulling out a small envelope with the words ‘To Ai-chan’ written on it. Glancing at the envelope once more, the girl began tearing the folded sheets into halves until the small pieces of parchments that remained were blown into the distance by the wind.
”I have no regrets. Rather, I have faith in you Niigaki-senpai. I know you’ll make Ai-chan happier than I ever hoped to."
