Laying on the bed with his arms folded under his head, onto the pillow, Kita stared blankly over the ceiling that hovered over him. He kept his eyes glued on the ceiling for awhile already. However, as soon as the memory of that day stroke his mind, replaying infront of his eyes like a broken cd, he closed his eyes tightly and heaved a sigh.

He rolled to his left side, looking at the night sky outside of the window. To say he was playing cool and acting all calm, he wasn't. He might be looked like he was but he wasn't, truly. His grandma once pointed out how he seemed distant and bothered lately and not only that, his eldest sister who just gave a visit at grandma's house also said the same thing. Whenever his sister said those, Kita gave her a pair of judgmental looks.

How can yer said that when yer just comebackㅡ his heart whispered. About the teammate, even if they noticed, none of them had gut to bring the topic up. Might be his fellow third years friends would have talk about it to him. However, neither Aran, Omimi nor Akagi mentioned about it which Kita grateful for.

About Ayumu, they didn't change word since then. How many days since then already? Few days ago but it felt so long when they were not talking to one another.

Kita turned to other side where his nightstand was. Exchanging look to the lamp which surprisingly looked interesting to Kita stared at and then towards his device. Sigh escaped from his lips again as he closed his eyes afterwards. The image of Ayumu's shock eyes when he kissed herㅡreflashed before his eyes.

She must be hate me now.

Snapping Kita from his bothering thoughts, there some knocks against his room door.

"Shinsuke. Are yer sleeping?" It was his sister.

"No. Why?"

"We run out some stock from the kitchen, wanna come with me?"

Ayumu leaned against her bed headboard as she was on her phone, scrolling her social media. Just like Kita was, her mind was bothered with what happened. Since she didn't want to get distracted with it, she needed to do something. She needed to be a little active than she used to. However at last, she still found herself alone inside her room. There was no energy of her to go hang out with her brothers at their room or at the living room or even their usual night routine inside her bedroom.

She needed her time alone, guess. Eventhough there was nothing much she could do whenever she was inside, still, the bed would be her placed to stay longer. She once thought to distract her mind but reading some bookㅡobviously novels or manga, but she could not. Just by having a glance of the book, she would remember him and that triggered the memory to reflash infront of her eyes again.

"Yumu!!" Osamu knocked her room door, stealing her focus from her phone. "Tsumu and I plan to have night walks. Maybe gonna stop by at convenience store nearby for some ramen or something. Wanna tag alongㅡ"

The last words barely complete yet whenever the room door got swung opened in no matter of second. It was Atsumu. His hands on his hips, as he was looking at Ayumu. Osamu, who had his word cut off, could only deathly glared at his twin.

"It's not 'wanna tag along' or not. Ya are coming with us. And I don't take no as answer." Atsumu said, sounded furious." Now, go and get ready. Samu and I will wait for ya downstair."

With that, Atsumu left the scene. As well as leaving Ayumu and Osamu behind. The younger twin trailed his gaze on Atsumu lazily before he turned towards Ayumu and softly smiled at her.

"Tsumu kinda at edge yeah..since ya not paying attention to him much." Osamu shrugged his shoulder, stifle some tender chuckles.

"SAMU!I HEARD YA! AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. YA TOO FEEL THE SAME THING! STOP USING MA NAME!" Atsumu yelled out,from only god knew where he was.

Ignoring the other twin, Osamu continued saying; "C'mon, go and get dress. We will wait for ya." Then, he closed the door and left.

Not like she would say no to her brothers especially after Atsumu already told her that he wasn't going to take no as answer. Hence, she got off from bed and getting herself ready.

The three siblings were walking down on the street with Ayumu was in between of them. Atsumu on her right and Osamu on her left. They didn't change words between one another, either the twins between themselves or the brothers between their sister. They just strolled on the street, under the blinking of million stars, bright gleaming moon and the dark ocean colored skyㅡenjoying the night breeze and the peaceful silence among them.

Just like how the twins had planned, they stopped by a convenience store for some ramen and other snacks. They sat themselves by the seat provided. A long table by the glass wall where they could see pedestrian outside. Atsumu got themselves ramen, Ayumu picked some chips and onigiri while Osamu picked some drinks from them.

After greeting, itadakimasu, the siblings stirred the ramen inside their own cup and had a long slurp of the noodles. Because of the hotness, the three somehow reacted in syncㅡhuffing for some air and sometime they would be coughing due to it. It happened quite times already. Finding it hilarious, the three were ended up laughing together.

"The twin here is ya two. Why I got dragged too. We aren't triplet." Ayumu laughed.

"We are siblings still." Osamu said, unwrapping his onigiri and took a bite from it.

"Should we remind that to ya?" Atsumu added, taking another round of slurp.

Smiling while she shook her head, Ayumu took another slurp on her noodles again. With the comfortable-ness of Ayumu started talking again with her two brothers, Atsumu and Osamu stole a glance towards one anotherㅡthrough their twin telepathy, they exchanged words;

Seem like we succeed Samu.

Looks like that too, Tsumu.

They stayed there a little longer,killing time by chatting random things and finished up their snacks. Sometime silence fall upon them, not the awkward silence though but the usual silence before they would start another topic to continue chatting. Atsumu had himself a gulp of drinks, Osamu feed himself a bite piece of chocolate bun and Ayumu stared out the glass wall while whirling her drinks can.

"Why do ya think Kita done that?" She suddenly asked, stopping both brothers from moving. Atsumu stopped swallowing and Osamu stopped munching. "ㅡya guys wanna talk about that, don'tcha? That's why ya bring me out."

Secretly glancing towards each otherㅡthe twins, Atsumu put down his drinks bottle and Osamu finished up his munching quickly.

"We don't wanna be bossy or nosy being honest." Atsumu said.

"We just wanna help ya feeling better." Osamu added.

"Yeah...if talking with us can make ya feel better. We will help ya willingly just like how brothers always do." Atsumu continued.

"We don't like it when ya keep locking yerself inside yer room and keep everything yerself." Osamu added as Atsumu nodded.

Ayumu pursed her lips as she took a gulp of her drinks before she put the can down on the table. Eyes were not prying away from the outside view even they were nothing interesting to look at except an empty road.

"I'm sorry." She apologised.

"Ya no need to. We understand that ya need time to be alone and get a grip yerself." Osamu said.

"Yeah. . .but don't take too long. Me and Samu don't do nothing wrong with ya. Its all Kita-san's doing. If ya wanna stop talking, let's be him alone. Don't drag yer poor brothers here." Atsumu sulked, enough making Ayumu softly giggled and a smile formed on Osamu's lips.

Ayumu folded her arms on the table and nailed her chin on her arms.

"So, back to the question just now..why Kita done that?" She voiced out. Its kind of embarrassing but she really felt like wanted to talk with someone. And she had her brothers now. Yesㅡshe had Oikawa and Iwaizumi, but right now, her real brothers were the priorityㅡyou could say. It's would be unfair of her, if she talked about this with Oikawa and Iwaizumi first and not her Miya brothers.

"Its obvious that Kita-san likes ya. What else if not that." Atsumu said.

"Yup. I'm not arguing about that. Tsumu has point. A guy will not kiss a girl without having a real and exact reason." Osamu added.

"Not denying that out there alot of guys kissing girl because they find it fun or entertaining...but" Atsumu paused for a moment. " Do ya really think Kita-san is that type of guy? Of course not, Yumu. He is the most saint between us all. He will never do dirty things to someone's daughter."

Osamu nodded. Ayumu pursed her lips, thinking. The brothers didn't say a word for moment since Ayumu didn't say anything after that.

"I don't like him." She finally said.

"Is it yer head saying or yer heart?" Atsumu questioned as Ayumu knitted her brows. But she didn't look at any of the two.

"Ya said ya don't like him. . .but ya wear his jersey for three days in a row now." Osamu bluntly said, glancing over Ayumu's now no 1 Inarizaki volleyball jersey (Kita's), underneath her grey colored outter zip up sweater. Since she wasn't zip the sweater as she just wore it as an outer, so the number 1 could be seen clearly.

Ayumu instantly covered the jersey by pulling her sweater (not zipping it up because she found it suffocating if she did) enough blocking the number 1 to be in display. She could feel her ears grown red and warmth crept up her neck.

"Are yer even washed the jersey?" Atsumu teased.

"Shut up! I did okay." She huffed. "Ya know I like jersey. So, don't make a fuss of it."

"Ya usually wear yer Aoba Johsai jersey or ours and it too least to count how many time ya wear Kita-san's jersey." Osamu added.

"Yeah..yer barely wear it because ya know that me, Samu and Mama gonna tease ya about it. Dada maybe not tease ya because if everyone tease ya, who gonna comfort ya." Atsumu continued.

Ayumu stayed silence.

"So, any objection?" Osamu asked. For the first time at that moment, she finally looked at her brother; Osamu as she furrowed her brows before she huffed and looked at outside again.

"Still. . ." Her words trailed off. So did her voice came out slow. It was a cue for the brothers to stop teasing their sister. Both Atsumu and Osamu scooted closer towards their sister. Ayumu was still sitting in the same positionㅡwith her head nailed her arm, making her body slightly hunched.

"Ya no need to give the answer sooner though." Atsumu said. "I don't think Kita-san wants that's too because he knows he will trouble ya."

"He will give ya as much time as ya want." Osamu added. " He is not a pushy person after allㅡ"

"It's not it." Ayumu instantly said, stopping her brother's word. She stuffed her face on her folded arms as she said, voice muffled; "I cannot like him. I like someone else."

"Then, tell him about it." Atsumu said. "Tell Kita-san that ya don't like him and ya cannot like him because ya like someone else already."

Osamu nodded; " Yeah...it will hurt him no matter what but it will not hurt him much unless if he keeps his hope high."

"But, just one thing." Atsumu said, taking Ayumu's attention. " If Kita-san finally with someone else and ya finally realise ya just lost him, don't regret ya choice."

Kita's sister parked the car infront at the parking lot, infront of the convenience store. The same store he encountered with Ayumu for the first timeㅡoutside school hour. Deep inside his heart, he hoped he could encounter with her again but other half of his heart, hoping for another way round. Both siblings got off from the car.

"Eh? Miya twins. Its been awhile."

Kita paused from where he stood, by the side of his doorㅡwhenever he heard his sister mentioned "Miya twins".

"Nee-san. It is been awhile."

The familiar voice, Kita knew, it was really Miya twins. The voice was Atsumu's. By mean of Atsumu and Miya twins, there probably Osamu with him too. How about Ayumu? Was she with them tooㅡ

"Yer guys have sister. Why I didn't know that?" Kita's sister voiced out.

"I'm Miya Ayumu. Nice to meet you. I'm living with my grandma at Miyagi three years back." Ayumu said.

Whenever he heard her voice, his heart started to pound hard against his ribcage. He didn't peer his eyes yet towards where Miya siblings were. He had no courage to face them until his sister called out for him.

"Shinsuke! What take ya so long. Ya not going to hi yer kohei?"

Shutting his eyes for a moment, he cleared his throat. Tightly balled his fist before he stepped out towards his sister, acting natural.

"Kita-san." Both Atsumu and Osamu greeted him with a nod as he done the same thing. Then, his eyes could not help but to linger towards where Ayumu wasㅡstanding a few feet, behind her brothers. There was a moment, he noticed the jersey she wore.

"So, yer guys going home now?" Kita's sister asked.

"Yeah. We stayed here for quite long already." Atsumu replied.

"Okay then. Take care." Kita's sister said, smiley.

"Yer guys too." Osamu responded, as the three siblings bowed slightly.

"See ya at school Kita-san." Atsumu said as he just nodded his head.

During those moment, Ayumu wasn't even try to look at him.

She really hate me, didn't she?
