He might be also jealous of you for having the great chance but you just let it go.

Ayumu could not stop that from replaying inside her mind. She wanted to ignore it so much but the sentence still bugging her. The application form, laid on the desk right before her eyes as Ayumu sighed looking at it.

I cannot continue...

Like having a mental breakdown because of it, Ayumu slammed her forehead on the table with muffling crying sound escaped her lips. (She wasn't cry, just making sound). In the meantime, her phone rang. Without lifted her head or gave a glance on her phone over the ID caller, Ayumu picked the call up.

"Hello?"

"Huh? This is not the reaction I expect from you. Aren't you the type of, Too nii-chan!!!you call?!!!I miss you so much!!!! Aren't you that type?"

Too nii-chan?

Ayumu's eyes blinked, processing the conversation before she directly lifted her head up amd sat striaght on the chair. Her eyes were fast catching her old photo that taken back in Miyagi. A picture of threeㅡtwo guys with Ayumu stood between them.

"Oikawa! I told you to give her proper greeting. You just freak her out.!"

"Goshㅡhow can getting a call from her Too nii-chan can freak her out? Chill, Iwa-chan."

The voices over the line made her eyes wavery and watery. But her lips were forming a wide smile. Her grip over the phone was tightening.

"C-can we v-video call?" Ayumu voiced out,stopping the two guys over the line from their bickering. There was no answer coming from them but; "Eyyy, you are not going to make us looking at your ear aren't you?"

Upon that, Ayumu instantly retreeted her phone away and two guys appeared on the screen. Her watery eyes grew wideㅡshe missed them a lot.

"Too nii-chan. . .I-Iwa nii-chan. . ."

"Aiyooo. . .aren't you a big girl already? Don't cry." Iwa said, smiling over the screen.

"Jeez, the one who should crying is us... How can you leave without telling us a word?" Oikawa snickered in sulky way.

Ayumu instantly wiped her corner eyes and sniffled. "I'm sorry. I really plan to tell you, but times really caught up on me. Forgive me~"

"We will think first about forgiving you." Oikawa added only made Ayumu whined. Iwaizumi by Oikawa's side could only shook his head.

"Fortuanately, Kindaichi and Kunimi told us bout you. If not, we will know nothing." Iwaizumi said.

"I'm sorry...It was last minute desicion. My parents came up with it to bring me back to Hyogo." Ayumu continued.

"It's okay then. At least, you're back to your family." Iwaizumi smiled.

"Excuse me! Are you making me looking like a bad person here,Iwa-chan?" Oikawa hissed.

"Shittykawa! I don't say anything.! Wanna me hit you?"

Ayumu smiled over the screen while looking at the two elders. Just like how her brothers were, fighting and bickering seemed their way to get close with each other.

"So, how your life there?" Oikawa started.

"Is everything fine?" Iwaizumi added.

"Have you make many friends?" Oikawa went on.

"Do students there pick a fight with you?" Iwa continued.

"How about the plan you told us about being a manager?" Oikawa added.

They really bombarded her with questions in a blink of eyes.

"Iwa nii-chan, Too nii-channnnnnn~ calm downnnn...One by one in a time kay?" Ayumu giggled as the other two also giggled like they didn't realise they just shoot her with multiple questions without giving her a break to answer.

"Okay, talk of which...so far now, everything is good. My brothers are fine. Studiesㅡnot bad either. Friendsㅡ hurm...I really have no luck with making friends. But, I do have friend. And about picking a fightㅡ no. But don't worry, it's not going to happen." Ayumu grinned, splashing of relieveness over the two elders.

"And about the manager thingㅡ" Ayumu paused. Oikawa and Iwaizumi looked at her with concerned eyes as if they could tell what was it already. Ayumu looked at them with a tight smile. "The captain did not accepting me."

"Eh?!!! How dare he? Who is he?! He just a captain for god sake not the advisor! How can he not accepting you?!!You know more than enough about volleyball. You are a great player too! Why then?! Does he ask for death wish?ㅡack!"

Oikawa glared on Iwaizumi as the guy whacked his head. The poor guy pouted his lips and huffed while soothed his poor head.

"Ayumu!look! Ever since you left, Iwa-chan hit me so often!!"

"Jeezz, how old are you, Oikawa? Three? Even Ayumu matured than you."

Ayumu's smile softened before she spoke up which surprising the two elders. "Should I go back to play volleyball and forget about being a manager?"

"Ayumu. . ." Both said in the same time.

"It just. . .I heard from a member of the team, he said, the captain did that not because he has problem with me or what. . .it just, he didn't want me to waste the chance that I have." Ayumu said, sounded sad.

"You know what, if you choose to continue playing than being a manager, I would say, better not participate in any club at all." Oikawa said, sounded serious yet gentle unlike the playful Oikawa just now.

"Oikawa is right. We are not going to risk to see you laying on hospital bed again, Ayumu. We have no strength to face it again." Iwaizumi added.

Ayumu bite her lower lips thinking. "Butㅡ"

"There is no but, Ayumu. The captain was right about you have chance. The biggest chance indeed. But, wasting the chance like he saidㅡ I don't think so. He doesn't know what you have been through, so he could say what he think he's right. But trust me, if he knows the reason behind it, he will not say the same thing again." Oikawa continued.

"Right now, your health is priority. Nothing more than that. I'm not going to witness the swollen eyes, runny nose, and wet face Oikawa like crying toddler by the hospital bed again." Iwaizumi said making another round of Oikawa protesting.

"Hello! I'm not the only one has runny nose, swollen eyes okay!! I have your picture crying when Ayumu was still comatose in my gallery. Wanna me show you, Iwa-chan?"

How this conversation from not serious to serious and then to not serious again just in second. Ayumu shook her head as she smiled looking at the two. Looking at the two, really brought back memory.

"Too nii-chan,Iwa nii-chanㅡThank you." Ayumu smiled through the screen, stopping the elders from fighting. The two looked at her with warmth smile and nods. "Enough with suddenly thickened atmosphere...actually we wanna tell you something." Iwaizumi voiced up, furrowing Ayumu's eyebrows. She sat upstraight with her knees up to her chest as the phone she put on the table, leaning it against her books.

"What is it? Is that suppose to be good news or bad news?" Ayumu asked.

"Don't worry, Ayumu. No one dies." Oikawa said sheepishly made both Ayumu and Iwaizumi had widening eyes in horror. "For god sake, ShittyOikawa! Don't scare the hell out of her." Iwaizumi scolded as Oikawa giggled playfully.

"Don't worry my little girl, it's nothing harm. Hehe..Seijoh is going to have tournament soon." Oikawa grinned." For Interhigh-prelimineries at Sendai City Gymnasium."

Ayumu gasped. "Oh my god!!!!! For real?! I mean, Too-chan, you no need to scared me out you know. Jesus!" Ayumu complained as Oikawa laughed his heart out.

"Gosh, for real Oikawa, if Ayumu got heart attack because what you said, I'm the one who is going to kill the hell of you. " Iwaizumi hissed and Oikawa clicked his tongue. Then, their attention went back to Ayumu. "So, are you coming to watch us?" Iwaizumi asked.

There was no time to think more as her eyes blinked and she quickly replied with bright and wide smile. "Of course!! Tell me the detail and I will come to cheer for you, guys."

"It's no close though, the venue and your place. Is'it fine?" Concerned dripped over Iwaizumi's voice.

"It's okay, Iwa nii-chan. It's not like my first time travelling. hehe" Ayumu chriped as Iwaizumi smiled with relieveness washed over him. "See, didn't I already told you Iwa-chan, don't worry about it. No matter how much we worried about she coming or not...she still coming even she been told not to. If we really didn't want she come, we should not tell her on the first place." Oikawa added.

"Jezz..I just worried okay. Ayumu is a girl and its dangerous for her to come in long journey." Iwaizumi went on. "It's okay, Iwa nii-chan..Like I said, it's not my first time..So, it's fine. Anyway, this year will be your last year, so, I'm planning to watch every of your matches as much as I can."

Ayumu smiled, bringing warmth inside the elders heart.

"Thanks, Ayumu." Said Iwaizumi and Oikawa in the same time.

"No~ It's me who needs to thank you...I was all breakdown just now and you guys, called me indeed in the right time." She said feeling her emotions took over her again.

"Hey!! Ayumu!! Don't you dare to cry!!" Oikawa said, over the line, drawing fake angry face.

"Tch. Who said, I'm crying? You are the who is crying." Ayumu fired up back which making Oikawa to wipe his face.

Realising the situation, Iwaizumi started to act up.

"Let's take Oikawa's crying photo!!!!!"

"I'm gonna screenshot!!"

"Both of you are so mean!!"
