The next two days of your cram school, you were confused about why Fujima would invite you to hang out. This time the two of you went out to go to a bookstore near the school.

"I mean, I don't want to force you. But the thing is, I keep on inviting you to hang out after cram school because I have no one to be with when the first snow falls." Fujima has a hand on the back of his head scratching it like an awkward expression. "I've been watching the news and I'm also waiting for it."

"I mean it, platonically." He chuckled.

That was his reason. It seems like the first snow would fall soon, and they're not yet here. It has been only three days since the team left for the training camp, and you were left alone for your cram school. f/n is currently busy looking out for books to buy with Fujima beside her when she felt her phone vibrated inside of the side-pockets of her jeans.

These past few days you noticed how Rukawa would call you when he had a chance. Before sleeping, waking up in the morning, after their breakfast, when they had a break from training, in short almost every time.

"Hi." f/n greeted first on the call. "What are you doing right now?" she added asking him. You covered the speaker of your phone to lessen the noise from the crowd inside the bookstore.

"Our training just ended. You seemed in a crowd, where are you?" Rukawa who had an arm underneath his head asked you through the call.

"L/N-san, check out this book─"

Rukawa's brows furrowed, from laying he sat on his bed, with his forehead slightly creased upon hearing a familiar voice. He went to open his phone fully to check your latest message.

"Who are you with?" He asked once again.

"Oh," she scratches the back of her head. "I forgot to tell you actually, I'm in a bookstore with Fujima-san. He invited me again today. You wanna say hi?" The girl chirped in.

Meanwhile, Fujima beside you have shown you a joke book, he made you read a line that you would really end up wheezing. From Rukawa's phone, he did not like the sound of your laughter, together with Fujima.

For him, it's okay to hang out. As friends. But that laugh got him, because never in your time together, he never made you laugh like that.

"I'm sorry," you chuckled going back to the phone. "You just heard me laugh, I know it's ugly." She added chuckling to herself. Her eyes slightly widened when she heard Rukawa hissed through the phone.

"Rukawa?" you called, and you hear nothing but his sigh.

"I feel like sleeping, I'm tired. I'll talk to you later."

"Oh. Okay, take─"

call ended...

"That was rude." Mitsui entering Shohoku's room frowned upon accidentally hearing the phone conversation between the two of them. "What's with that bittersweet look?" He let out a sly smirk upon seeing Rukawa's expression, who literally screams that he's upset.
