"Eita-kun your phone is ringing!" Tsubaki-san shouted from across the backstage. "It says it's from Tendou!"

A smile creeps up my face. He finally answered! I signal my co-worker that I'll be leaving shortly to take a call and jogged towards Tsubaki-san to retrieve my phone.

We are currently in preparation for Saturday's fundraising event where my band is going to play as the final act. I'm extremely excited not only for the advocacy of the event but I also invited my former volleyball team to attend as well.

I peered onto my phone's screen and saw the caller ID "Tendou" and above it was a wacky photo of him that he took himself on my phone approximately three years ago to be set as his contact photo. Wow, was it really that long ago?

I pressed the green button on the screen and I was immediately greeted by a loud, familiar voice.

"Semi-semi~! I missed youuu!" Tendou, the former middle blocker of our team enthusiastically greeted from the other end of the line.

"Tendou! You're still lively as always, huh." I always remember that Tendou enjoyed getting attention most of the time and in return he had this loud and mildly annoying personality. But right now, I admit that I missed this guy. "So, is everybody able to come this weekend?"

"Yes! In fact some of them will bring other people as well hehe strength in numbers, as they call it" I can't contain my excitement, I can finally see these guys again! Everyone has been busy with their own lives that we never really had the chance to reconnect. "Oh! And Reon is bringing his adorable daughter too, so I hope your show is child friendly as well."

"Of course it is! This show is all ages haha!" The production head actually insisted on removing alcoholic drinks from the included accommodation to also remove the chance of other incidents happening on site. We wanted to make everything inclusive so everyone can have their fun. "Oh, how about the college students? Isn't it troublesome if they come?"

"Oh you mean Shirabu~?" He unhesitatingly replied in a teasing manner.

"W-well, Taichi and Goshiki as well?" The sudden mention of his name caught me off guard. Of course, I want him to watch our show tomorrow. But in all honesty, I didn't had the courage to contact him. I know, coward move but I still find it hard to talk to him even though it's been years since I was ultimately rejected by him.

"Hmmm Semisemi, you're easy to read~ That's probably why you got replaced as a setter~"

"Hey!"

"Hehehe, I'm just messing with you~ I actually invited him myself."

"Really?! —I-I mean that's great then."

"Yeah, cause I figured 'Hmmm~ Semisemi is such a hopeless romantic and still can't probably move on from being rejected by our pretty boy Kenjiro-kun from three years ago. So I—' "

"Okay, that's actually enough." I cut him off before he embarrass me more. There's no need for me to hear those things, I know that already.

"Ah, Eita-kun!" Said another voice from across the room. "There's something I need you to see. Come help me here for a bit."

"Alright, I'll be there." I replied. I went back to my phone. "Hey Tendou, I need to get back to work. Seriously, thank you man. I'll see you all in Saturday."

"Seriously, you're welcome hehe. See you soon~ muah muah!" and after that the call ended.

So he's coming afterall. Now I'm more nervous than excited for Saturday. But that's what will make it more interesting, isn't it?
