Next day, Kuroko being move out from the Intensive Unit Care (ICU) unit into a special room which Akashi have booked before. He also doing his MRI and being told that the result is going to out tomorrow.

Today, he being told that all of his friends is going to visit him by the nurses which make him feel a bit sad. He don't want anyone to see him in his pathetic state. He can't walk, he also can't make himself settle down, and he feel as bad as the rainy day outside. Since the day he wake up from his coma, he entertain himself by looking into the outside of the window. He keep on staring into space. Enjoying himself in his own mind. Avoiding from making any contact with others.

When his friends arrive, everyone can feel his sudden change. He not as cheerful as before. He also lack of respond to them. He just laid there, looking so emotionless.

"Hey Kuroko! I have bought a soup for you, it's good for your recovering. Try it." Kagami shove it to Kuroko, which Kuroko just stare at it without any reaction.

"I'm not hungry and I don't have appetite." Kuroko says.

"But the nurse said that you didn't even eat the meal that they readied for you." Kagami protests.

"You didn't eat since you woke up right?" Akashi asks.

Kuroko silents and look at other place.

"Why are you not eating?" Riko asks.

Kuroko is ignoring them completely.

"Hey! Answer your senpai's question" Hyuga says angrily.

"Hyuga, you can't be that harsh to sick person." Teppei advices.

"*sigh... Alright. Alright..." at the back Hyuga keep on cursing about junior nowadays are not respecting their senpai.

"Hyuga-senpai sure is angry about this" Tsucida is whispering at the back with the rest of Seirin.

"You're right" They agree. They sweet drop as they could feel Hyuga staring at them. He heard them!

"Tetsu-kun, don't torture yourself anymore. I beg you." Momoi is begging on Kuroko. She touch Kuroko's thigh but Kuroko can't feel the warm of Momoi's hold, he is paralyses below his waist.

"I didn't torture myself. I just don't have any appetite." Kuroko says softly. Smile a bit but it look like a force one.

"But you need to force yourself. You are too thin. It will worsening your health. We want to see you back to health and we want to have a match with you again. Like we have promised before." Kise is persuading Kuroko without knowing that is a taboo word for Kuroko right now.

"I guess we will never have match again. I can't walk anymore, right? The doctor have announced it is a fatal." Kuroko says as smile and frown plastering on his face.

This causing the others to feel a sharp pain on their heart.

"Why are you talking about this now? You baka!" Midorima whisper angrily at Kise. He tries to avoid from Kuroko hears this.

"I didn't realise my words going to hurt his feeling!!" Kise feel himself at fault, he also feel angry with himself.

"Relax. Just change the topic" Akashi whisper to both of them.

Kise nods and start to change the topic. "Kurokochi.. Do you want to go on picnic? It's going to be a nice holiday, right minna?"

At this all of them slap at Kise harshly. "You are talking about taboo things again!!!" all of them whisper at him.

"Huargghh.. I am sorry Kurokochii.. I don't mean on letting you feel upset."Kise is apologizing to Kuroko.

"It's okay. I already accept my fate." Kuroko says silently.

"But we can change our fate. We can try to change it of course. Like I'm changing my fate about I can't play basketball because of my injured leg. We have win in Winter Cup, remember?" Teppei says, trying to cheer Kuroko up.

"Yeah" Kuroko answers. Just to light up everybody's mood. Actually, what has Teppei says change nothing in himself. He truly have accept his fate. He just feel so hopeless right now after knowing he can't do anything by his own anymore.

That evening, Aomine and Momoi come again to visit Kuroko. This time to talk about their problem. They sit confronting each other. Momoi is obviously nervous about this. Kuroko look didn't even care about it while for Aomine, he look trouble.

"So, what are you two want to talk about?" Kuroko asks, starting the conversation.

"Um.. It's about our relationship" Momoi answers.

Kuroko take a look at Momoi for few seconds before he says "Continue"

"Tetsu, I can't accept your decision." Aomine states.

"Why is that so? I think you two suit each other and you have wait for this right?" Kuroko calmly says. No wavering, no sadness in his tone.

"I'm too selfish back then. I'm regretting my action. I am sorry, Tetsu" Aomine bows at Kuroko, wanting Kuroko's forgiveness.

"You're not at fault. Everything that happen before is because of me." Kuroko says as he turns his head toward the window.

"No! You're not at fault!" Both Aomine and Momoi shout. Desperately want to change Kuroko's thought.

Kuroko turns to them with a shock expression. He never thought that they going to shout that loud.

"Tetsu-kun, I am sorry for leaving you behind. My body just move by itself. That time, I just have one thought, I don't want to lose anyone. I..I still loves you!" Momoi cries.

"I should think about Satsuki and your feeling first. But that time my jealousy control me. I am sorry for being selfish. You shouldn't change yourself because of me. You shouldn't make that decision. Decision on abandon your feeling. That the worst choice ever!" Aomine says with a loud voice. His face show how regret he is.

Kuroko silent himself.

"I'm okay and I approve your relationship with Satsuki. I will give full support on both of you. But please Tetsu.. Forgive me and think back about your decision." Aomine adds.

"You're wrong" Kuroko states

"Wrong? What do you mean?" Aomine asks. This also making Momoi curios.

"When I said that I want to break up with Momoi-san, I don't do it only because I sympathize at you, Aomine-kun. I make it because I can see, how care Momoi-san is toward you. I think her love for me is just a love for someone she adore, she look up too. Not a love for a person who she truly in love with. The moment she run over you, my heart already could feel it."Kuroko says with a small smile, look like a line only.

"No! No, Tetsu-kun! I- I didn't mean it. I- I love you..." Momoi didn't finish her speak yet Kuroko continues.

"And I could feel... Myself either just want an attention from someone. It's not supposed to be you, it can be others but since you treat me every day, the feeling goes to you."

Momoi froze, Aomine too.

Kuroko smiles sadly and apologies. "I am sorry for tricking you, Momoi-san"

"You are joking, right? T-T-Tetsu-kun will never do that.. "Momoi begins to tremble.

"You just want to let us feel at ease right, Tetsu? I can see how you love her back then. My eyes can't be fooling me." Aomine can't belief about what Kuroko have said before.

"Like I said before, I also being fooled by my own feeling. The truth is my love toward Momoi-san is a different one. Not a true one." Kuroko denies everything that Aomine says.

"Why?!!!" Momoi screams, she feel that she being fool, by someone she truly adore.

Aomine hugs Momoi's body, trying to calm her shaking body.

"I am sorry" Kuroko just can say sorry this time.

"You're cruel Tetsu-kun!!!" Momoi screams for the last time before she push Aomine away and run out, exiting the room.

"Satsuki!!" Aomine calls for Momoi and run for her. Not before looking at Kuroko with unreadable look.

Kuroko just let his head down. He sure, if he see this, he can't release Momoi anymore. He need to do this. He need to be strong. For his friends' sake.
