This is about a short piece done by Inoue Takehiko Sensei called 'Pierced Earring' / 'Piercing'. It is a story about Ryota and Ayako. However, it is NOT certain if it is about the same Ryota and Ayako. I don't know whether it is related to SlamDunk.

The story is about a boy name Ryota who went to the beach. He met a girl name Ayako at a cove on the beach. Ayako was upset about her mother. She thought that the gift her mother gave her was a gift from her future stepfather to her mother. She threw a pair of earrings into the sea. Ryota noticed the scene so he dived into the sea to recover the earrings. He noticed that Ayako was crying. She was in a place where Ryota had once waited for his brother's return from the sea. His brother died at the sea. But Ryota kept on waiting for his brother a long time ago. 7 years.
Ryota and Ayako became friends. Ryota pierced his ear with a brooch from his nanny and puts on the earring. At the end, Ryota was reading a letter from Ayako. He explains (to the letter..) that the earrings was in fact a gift for her from him.
