XIN'S POV

"Agh!! Finally!" screamed as she thrown herself at the bed.

"I'll take a shower first" then entered the bathroom not waiting for her answer. I prepared myself for a bath then sat a while at the tub thinkin of what happened today.

"Wow.. In my teen years, I've always dreamed on meeting them....*smile.. Such luck.

"Here. I'll be looking forward in working with you tomorrow, マクシン(Maxine)."

That thought suddenly came to me. I mean, how?.. I've never said it to them right? I mean, except hina-chan, we are already friends after all. Peculiar... Maybe at my-

I hurriedly got out of the tub, wrapped myself with towel, loudly opened the bathroom door and run to the desk where my phone is.

"WHAT THE- XIN THAT REALLY SHOOK ME UP! WHAT THE HEL-"

"SHUSH! i think he already know" still looking my phone then to the eyes of Masahiro as my lockscreen. I put my my name on the lockscreen. How stupid.

"Know what?!"

"My real first name"

From being suprised to bored look hina said ".....And??"

"tutututut! It just feels weird.. Saying it from his mouth is lovely.. Yet weird.."

"The heck is wrong with you. Your name is beautiful. Here eat some gyōza." She said as she shoved some to my mouth and hurriedly caught the wrap to my towel almost showing my naked body "AND PUT SOME CLOTHES ON HAHHAHAHHAHA!!"

"AHH! HINA-CHAAANNN!!!!!"

(Gymnasium)

"Today's the first day xin-san, are you ready?" hinako asked as she grabbed the metallic door.

"..... Yes. Yes I am hina-chan, 頑張って(goodluck)" i answered her and gave her a fist bump.

"はい、頑張ります！(yes! Goodluck!).

--------------------------🌼🏐------------------------

*ball sounds everywhere

" yoish!!"

" nice serve!!"

"nice toss!!"

Wow. I have never been in a gymnasium full of PRO players before. You can see there passion by their hard work.

"KYAAAAAAAAA~"

Oh and look some fangirls too.. Ah maybe they have a game... Like a practice match i think. I feel so ashamed not knowing about all this.. Uh.. Schedule.. Yep.

"Masa-sann!!"

"Ishikawa-san!!!!"

"luh, sana all (luh, i hope everyone)" i said soflty as we pass in front of them.

"Excuse me, but do you even have a pass to go in the court??" A sassy lookin girl with a camera in her hands said while chewing a gum.

"yeah, and- oh my, look she doesn't look like from here, *laughs my, my, are you lost??" her friend (maybe) said.

I totally batted my eyes to them then hina interrupted

"yah! Its none of your business squealing pigs blehhhh!" then gave them a weird look with tongue out.

" why you!" she almost slappes hina but i got her and move her closer.

"listen here, pig. We have an exclusive pass. Stop wasting our time cause we have some RARE photos and meeting with the handsome and amazing players in the court and i can only be the one who can slap her-"

"what" hina interrupted (again)

"shush there...

So do we make ourselves clear here?" still holding her hand tightly

"は。。はい。(y-yes..)" she answered.

"good" I released her hand then proceedes to the court dragging hina with me.

"wah.. Thats so cool xin-san!"

I gestured a small bow to her and entered the inner court and put our things to the farther bench.

We introduced ourselves once again to the coaches and players. I noticed Ishikawa is looking at my direction using my peripheral vision so i didn't looked at him to avoid the awkward stare. But as i so called to ignore the stare, my eyes landed on Masahiro instead while introducing myself and i stuttered.

"I-i.. I.. Yes, i do." eh?.

The Team:....

The coaches:...

Hina: *coughs.

Masahiro: chuckled.

Everyone including me looked at him.

"ehem ごめん(sorry)" he apologized.

Well, that at least saved me from the humiliation..

(time skip) brought to you by nishida's amazing serve

The practice match started

Ishikawa in the red team and Yanagida in the black team. First serve came from Ishikawa, recieved by the other libero's team then set coming from Sekita and an awesome spike from yanagida. IN!

"Yanagida!"

"Yanagida!!"

Awh.. I wanna cheer too but we are still in the middle of work. I watch hina-chan doing the figures for the black team (we the teams were already in half so we just chose which team to take. She took the black team).

"Hey hina?"

"yup?" still sketching the figures.

"Can i just take some photos?? I already set up the camera to record the game" i asked her permission. Instead of a quick reply, she put dowm the digital pen and quickly look at me.

"Oh.. So you can cheer on'em ehh? ~" she said while wiggle her eyebrows which is kinda weird.

"What aha.NO...." i nervously said then laughed. She just gave me a stare though.

"Well.yes.. And c'mon, this is a dream come true. I'll be working very productively later and I AM STILL WORKING I'm gonna take some photos of them for... Reference." i said while pouting.

"references.. Yea right" she scoffed then proceeded to work. "just dont be too close to them or you'll get hit" she warned me.

"hey! I know how volleyball works" i told her. I placed the camera at a safe place close to hina and took out my phone, asked permission to the coaches and went my way close to the red team's place.

Look at them playing. Ugh. Glorious.

I took some photos of them individually. For a one member maybe 5-10 different poses for them so they look very cool for the animatiln I'll be doing. Of course Ishikawa must be cool there too. I took photos of him about... 25 maybe.. They will be my most precious and rare photos. Ooh i will post them on Instagram later too hehehehe.

Lets not forget about Yanagida Masahiro. Even though i wont be the one to animate him, i need to have some rare pics of him too. This is an opportunity to grab. Clicks of him straight from my very own camera.

*whistle

They called a time out. They walked towards me. Then suddenly i realized i am sitting on there bench with the cooler at my side for refreshments. They are so tall and so close to me. Especially Yuki-san..

I put my phone for a sec and helped to hand on their drinks

"here for you fujii-san" i handed the drink to him

"eh? Ah. ありがとうございますしんちゃん(thank you xin-san), here" then he patted my head.

"awh.. Hehe thanks!"

"i want some too!" said yamauchi. A sudden 203m guy walked in front to me. I handed him his drink while looking up at him. So tall..

"お疲れさま (thanks) xin chan~" he patted my head too. Aww~ i thought they are all serious but they are fun too!.

While talking to fujii and yamauchi, ishikawa walked to us too. "my drink?" he blurted. Ha.

"eh?"

"my drink, i still dont have it-"

" Huh? I handed it earlier- ah!" fujii winced for the pain.

What the hell.

"here" i handed it to him. He take it from me with a slight touch in my hand. That made me jump.

Luuhhhh. Atay. Kamay ni Ishikawa juskooo seb me Lord. (luh. Oh my gosh. Hands of Ishikawa. Lord save me)

"Are you ok?" fujii asked in concern

"y-yes i think i dont need to clean my hands for a while." i said out of nowhere and Fujii gave me a confused look. Then suddenly i feel a soft touch in my hair.

"T-thanks for the drink.." Ishikawa said while looking away slightly blushing.

"うーん。。 (yes)" I answered while blushing too. (i know im blushing its so cute and embarrassing).

(timeskip brought to you by, Takahashi's danceuu!!)

The game has already ended. The supporters and fans already left. I helped hina and prepared my things. Before leaving they had a little meeting and the coaches said we can still stay if we want. Of course i said yes and hina agreed with me too knowing im a supoer duper fan to them.

While they are having a meeting i asked hina-chan to take a pictures with me around the gym. I can hear them giggling to my funny poses. Cute. The coaches snapped them back tk the meeting. After taking some photos, i sat with hina directly facing the team. I can se how serious they are. I took my phone once again and took photos of them individually (again) but mostly ishikawa and yanagida.

"look how handsome they are. Cool too."i said while still taking photos and just looking directly at their captain✨.

" Especially yana-" i stopped when i noticed they are looking at me (AGAIN).

" なに(what?) " i askes softly then hina tapped my shoulder." why are they looking at me? Is there something wrong with my face?" I said while whispering.

"Girl, your phone is clicking loudly and its flashing too! I've been getting your attention for a while now?!!" she said in a loud whispering tone.

"whaaatttttt" i quickly checked my phone.

*click

*flash

It really did!!!

I stand up and apologize and said to delete all photos i took

"no, no, its ok, Uy-san, just be careful next ok?" the coach said in a kind voice.

"y-yes, im really sorry".

(6:30pm)

All of us left the gymnasium and went inside the bus for a ride. Yes, because we are working with them now, we get to have a free ride to the station. Take note, we are seated the way we did last time. #LUCKY

"So, how's the first day?" Yanagida asked

"pretty exhausting... And embarrassing a lot of embarrassing moments. Aghhhh." i covered my face then groaned.

"Can i see the photos though?" ishikawa teased

"Whaaat no way.. These are very precious and property of xin-chan only" i carefully opened my bag to put my phone but then i remembered i need another photo with the 3 of us.

"hey, can we take a photo.. Again?" i asked

"sure" Ishikawa said then position himslef closer and lowered his head. Then yanagida took my phone (brushed his hand to mine LUHHHHH), so we can have a better angle.

"三、ニ、一!" (three, two, one!)

C L I C K!
