"How was the talk?"

Oikawa asked, breaking the silence between him and Tamiko, who's still calming herself down. It's been a few minutes since their talk ended. All girls walked out one by one. Tora and Chiharu are staying in Shiratorizawa's rented beach house. Kana is staying at Dateko's. Mari and Azumi are staying at Johzenji's.

Right now, Tamiko and Oikawa are slowly walking back to their respective places. Even without saying anything, Oikawa intentionally slowed his pace so Tamiko can calm down and not look like a mess.

"I confessed and apologized, then cried... then they hugged me all." She answered, he had a small smile on his face. "Hmmm... did you feel better telling them?" He asked.

"Yeah... I felt lighter." He glanced at her, she was looking down on her feet while walking . She wasn't smiling but her expression says she's relieved somehow. Oikawa then walked in front of her, making her stop and look up.

A sudden breeze brushed their skin and hair. Both of them are looking at each other's eyes calmly. His hand reached on top of her head and patted it lightly. "I'm glad... you look calmer now." He said, with a small smile. It's been bugging him since day 1, she's troubled but doesn't show it. He was thinking about maybe it's about how she told them that she has an injury.

Maybe she was uncomfortable.

She was stunned. Her heart was beating faster than normal. For some reason... she knew why. She stared at his smiling face, her heart fluttered, she felt annoyed. Ahhh... this fast? Are you kidding me? It's only been two weeks since I started hanging out with him. Damn, why? Why did it have to be him? She thought in annoyance, she calmed down a little and decided to do something.

She stepped closer and leaned her forehead on his shoulder.

"Nee, Oikawa..."

The tone of her voice and the name she called him suddenly brought chills down his spine. He felt uneasy for some reason and he doesn't know why. What...? Why am I uneasy? He uncontrollably clicked his tongue, removing his hand from her head and walking away.

"I'm not listening." He said.

Tamiko was left there, she wasn't surprise. Fingers brushed her thick bangs and she looked up with eyes closed. She's annoyed and she knows the reason why.

"Shit... my voice gave it away."

"Akira." She called the moment she walked in the beach house, everyone glanced at her, silent. She smiled at them and then turned to Kunimi. "Where's Ran-chan?" She asked. They felt relieved somehow now that she's back to normal.

"She just got in the bath." Kunimi answered, she smiled and walked away.

"Then I'll be joining her. I'll tell you when it's your turn." She said, waving her hand. "Hai~!" They answered all at the same time. The players were left alone, some finally decided to go to their own room and probably arrange the futons, the ones left in the living room are the third years. All seven of them were silently sitting.

Hanamaki sighed and sharply glanced at Oikawa, who is sitting across him. "Weren't you suppose to be arriving back at the same time? Well, normally both of you would atick together. What's with you all of a sudden?" He asked, breaking the silence. Oikawa leaned on the couch and sighed.

"I left her midway because I felt uneasy when she suddenly called me Oikawa. I was scared she'd tell me to stop our relationship." He answered honestly and bluntly. It's not like they keep it a secret. All six of them froze on their seats and looked at him in shock and disbelief.
