"Sir Kiyoomi. Hello, how did I get here?" Atsumu asked.

"I almost hit you with my car, good thing it stopped but you fainted." the raven said.

"Oh.. sorry."

"Why were you out under the rain? Is there something wrong?"

"It's just.."

Atsumu sighed and told everything to Kiyoomi. The tall, curly haired man listened attentively to everything the blonde says and he fully understood what happened.

"I think you should go. Based on your story, the Kita-san you're talking about might not hate you. I'm sure he'll understand. Also, exposure is a good start for moving on." Kiyoomi explains.

"But.. I don't wanna go there alone. 'm scared that my feelings would just flow and everything would be ruined. I don't wanna disappoint my team just because of what Kita-san and I had." Atsumu said.

"Do you want Kitsumu and I to accompany you?" the man offered.

Atsumu doubted the offer but found himself agreeing to Kiyoomi.

The day of the reunion came and Atsumu is with Kiyoomi and Kitsumu. They're now parking in front of the venue and the three were mesmerized of the beautiful garden set up.

"Tsumu!" It was Rin.

"... boss? and yer daughter?" he asked.

"Ya told me it was fine to bring people." Atsumu said.

"Yeah. Let's go in." Rin smiled.

They entered the village and Kiyoomi felt the tight cling caused by Atsumu's arms in his. Kitsumu was in front of them, smiling.

"Daddy, Mr. Miya! Look! So many food!" Kitsumu excitedly uttered.

"Hm.. Kitsumu, can you give Mr. Miya a favor?" Atsumu asked the little kid.

"Hmm? What is it Mr. Miya?" Kitsumu asked.

"Call me Papa for a day, is that okay?" He asked.

Kitsumu's eyes glistened as she nodded. They looked for tables and they decided to sit on the seats beside Osamu and Rin's.

"Atsumu..?"

Atsumu stilled and looked at Kiyoomi before facing the familiar man who once, broke his heart. The reason why he left. Kita Shinsuke, the man he loved and the man who disappointed him the most.

"Hello, Kita-san." Atsumu greets him casually with a fake smile. Before Kita can even speak, Kitsumu interrupts.

"Papa, can we please get ice cream?" she said.

"Hmm? okay! Ask daddy if he wants one." Kitsumu goes to Kiyoomi and asks if he wants and after getting the answer she needed, she comes back to Atsumu.

"Papa, Daddy said he can get the same thing I'll get." the little kid smiled.

Atsumu carries Kitsumu and left Shinsuke.

'Did that girl just called him Papa?' Shinsuke thought. He observed every movement of the two without knowing Kiyoomi was observing him too.

Kiyoomi thinks he met him before, but he doesn't remember when.

"Daddy, here you go!" Kitsumu gives the ice cream to his dad.

"Why didn't Papa get anything?" Kiyoomi asked, talking about Atsumu.

"Sir-" Atsumu was about to speak.

"Babe? Do you want some of mine?" Kiyoomi points the ice cream on Atsumu's lips and Atsumu realized what Kiyoomi wants to happen.

"I'm not that hungry, babe. I'll get one later." Atsumu smiled sweetly.

Pain crawled in Shinsuke's eyes. He can feel it. Atsumu.. his Atsumu.. is now inlove with someone else, and they already have a daughter. That kid he loved is now in somebody else's arms. Just because of that incident, he lost Atsumu. He didn't have a choice though. Shinsuke felt the excruciating pain in his chest, he wanted to hug him, tell him everything and beg him to come back but he can't.

On the other side, Atsumu felt comfortable around Kiyoomi with the pretending thing he started. It felt natural. Not forced, not fake.

Osamu and Rin spoke after observing the moment. "Cool acting boss."

"Ya told me ya ain't telling nobody what happened." Osamu said.

"Not yer business, Samu. Sir Kiyoomi's just helping me overcome shit." Atsumu scowled.

Things went smoothly until a bunch of men in black started shooting the venue. Everyone went under the tables to avoid getting shot. Under the table, Atsumu looks to Kiyoomi. "Sir, What's happenin'?" Kiyoomi was about to answer when they both heard Shinsuke speaking.

"I told you I am not going to snitch on the clan. This is a reunion, not a drug auction. Please do not misinterpret and please do not step on my boundaries." Shinsuke spoke in a calm voice with a dangerous tone.

In an instant, all men in black left the reception like nothing happened. No reactions. And Kiyoomi realized where he met Shinsuke.

He didn't actually met him. More like a call, that's why he sounded familiar. His eyes widened when realizations hit him.

Kita Shinsuke is part of the Yakuza.

Atsumu stood up and went out of the table. He slammed the foldable table loud enough to shock Shinsuke. Kiyoomi was also scared of what Atsumu did and asked Osamu to bring Kitsumu in his car.

"Ya've been doing all those shit again? Yakuza, Shinsuke? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDIN' ME?!" Atsumu roared and panted.

"Atsumu.. let me expl-" Shinsuke tried to speak.

"Explain what?? That you, left me in the volleyball industry only to join those fucking criminals?! Hah. I never thought you'd be this petty and shitty. The most calm and collected mature person I knew joined those dumbass fuckers who kill for money? Fucking disappointment is what I feel right now. Haha. Never expected you to do something shitty." and without a word, Atsumu left the venue. Kiyoomi went after him.

"Atsumu.. wait." Kiyoomi calmly held a grip on Atsumu's arms.

"S-Sir.. I.. I-I'm sorry. Please don't be mad at me for all those things I've said. I was just-" Atsumu shed tears.

"Disappointed. I know, I understand. I'm not mad." he assured and pulled Atsumu and hugged him.

Atsumu cried harder, holding his face rested in Kiyoomi's chest.

"Everything will be fine.. Trust me."
