(What if Hino was the first one to leave and not Len ?)

Kahoko has left Seiso since her mom found a better job and her sister is to live in with her fiancee. Everyone is shocked by this news despite that Kaho is just a month away from graduating from her 2rd year in highschool. This also shocked Len Tsukimori as well, hoping that he could at least spend more time tutoring Hino with her violin but now that she's leaving even before he was planning to leave for Europe.

But that's not what hurt him;

It was the fact that she agreed to move out right away, 'Couldn't she even think about this sort of thing firsthand ? What was she thinking ?!' he thought, but despite him being concerned with this, his proud attitude got the best of him and he shrugged it off. 'I have nothing to do about this.'

5 years have passed and Hino had lost contact with the rest of them.

Her old friends attempted to visit her in the city where she'd moved into but found that she had moved out again ... but this time even more far away than they've imagined.

Abroad.

They've all moved on but still hold a dear spot inside their heart for Hino ... but two people hasn't moved on just yet.

Len is a world-renowned violinist and has performed around the globe from his tours, countries such as Europe, U.S., Asia and more. He has had performances with his mother, Hamai Misa, and other special guests. He usually has duets with a Japanese woman named Miako-san, she also happens to be very well skilled, as good as Len but her music sounds ordinary that's why Len is planning on offering Kaho to be his partner.

Kahoko, who is majoring in violin at a nearby university on her fourth year and is about to graduate, is still looking for an agent who she can work with so that she can perform in concerts. (This story will obviously be her POV, so I'll be able to explain more on her.)

Tsuchiura is a soccer coach in Seiso Academy but also continues to play the piano. Ever since he's lost contact with Hino despite their exchanged promises and the fact that he still have his feelings for her, he knew that maybe this is what she'd have wanted. He is currently Mizue's boyfriend. They are in a good relationship better than before and this helps Tsuchiura cope up. Though in the future chapters, he'll finally be able to see the girl he'd always longed for.

Yunoki has arrived back in Japan for his vacation which is for a year and after, he'll go back to the States to return to his masters. He is engaged with the daughter of his grandmother's friend, Kaira-san. He has confessed to Kahoko his feelings in a ... sweet way but was rejected by her politely, saying that she can't catch up with him and allow him to risk himself in front of his family despite his rebellious attitude. Although he was rejected, he's still happy that he could see the embarrassed and reddish face of Kahoko's and admits that she was the one who taught him a good lesson. Also shocked about the news of her leaving, he let it go but still holds the feelings of wanting to see her usual smile again. He's still close friends with Hihara and usually invites him to parties.

Hihara teaches in Seiso Academy's orchestra club and stars in commercials from time to time. He's still the same lively and enthusiastic gentleman he's always been but has grown and mature and knows when to be serious or not. He's the first person to confess his feelings to Kahoko but was also rejected two days later, he had accepted this and is close friends with Kaho. He's also starting to develop feelings for Mori-san who is also teaching in Seiso; piano and they've just started to date. Hihara was the only person who was deeply saddened by Hino leaving, but with the help of Yunoki and his other friends and even a bit of comfort from Hino herself, saying that 'they'll definitely meet again,' he was able to move on.

Kaji tutors all kinds of students in Seiso on Viola and Violin, he's already improved due to hardwork and daily practices that Kahoko helps him with. He hasn't confessed his feelings yet and despite of all the men that Kahoko has rejected (even Tsuchiura has given up,) he's still determined to win Kahoko over Len. He feels that he is not the right person for Kahoko to spend time with and feels that he is a better gentleman, one who would not hurt Kaho. He doesn't see himself as a mere fan but something more and better for her, and in time he'll finally tell her how he really feels.

Fuyumi and Shimizu are both performing in concerts as partners and as close friends. They perform in Japan and not abroad yet but they're thinking about it. Fuyumi isn't as shy as before and socializes a lot now, preparing parties in celebration or events. Shimizu isn't the same sleepy guy that everyone knows, now he's smiling all the time and also takes part in different activities. He's developing feelings for Fuyumi and often calls her Shoko-chan, Fuyumi on the other hand calls him Shimizu all the same but sometimes Keiichi too.

Mio is still studying and majors in Education in a university on her fourth year while Nao is studying Medicine. Amo-san is also a successful journalist in a popular newspaper company and often reports about musicians and music-related things.

Etou has grown out of his usual annoying attitude and grown into a more serious and happy young man, in his first year in college; majoring in violin but excelling incredibly, in this chapter he sees Hino after 5 long years, shocked and confussed ... but impressed ?
