INT. GYMNASIUM — AFTERNOON

As people shuffled out of the gym, KOYAMA observed SAKUSA and USHIJIMA as they held a conversation. KOYAMA was taken aback by the complexity of SAKUSA's emotions on the court. There were moments where he'd purse his lips and furrow his eyebrows in concentration. At other times, SAKUSA would look apprehensive, and somewhat calculating, as he stared at the opposing players and analyzed their movements.

Even when SAKUSA looked after the ball's trajectory, a second of doubt or hesitation would show in his eyes, and the moment of regained confidence was as crystal clear as the waters of the Caribbean Sea. To KOYAMA, seeing SAKUSA give his all, with enjoyment, and a bit of his typical apprehension, was exciting.

His agility, complemented with graceful tact, made him ten times more attractive to her.







KOYAMA
(Smiles).

ATSUMU

OSAMU

OSAMU

ATSUMU
(Frowns).

morning?




OSAMU
Maybe spoiled
milk?




ATSUMU
Eh?




OSAMU
Mm, whatever.
Don't mind me.





At the bottom of the left staircase, KOYAMA stood a few feet away from SAKUSA and USHIJIMA. Her plan to walk out unnoticed was interrupted by USHIJIMA calling out KOYAMA's name.






KOYAMA
(Nervous)
Hahaha,
UshiUshi,
heeeey.








USHIJIMA
Koyama-San,

student here?









KOYAMA
(Turns red).
Yea.


KOYAMA

KOYAMA

ATSUMU
(Snorts).



OSAMU
(Snickers).



SAKUSA
(Confused).




USHIJIMA
I am very disappointed
you decided to follow
through with your plan
B. After seeing the
articles this morning,
I thought you finally
decided to work in the
fashion industry.





ATSUMU
(Jaw drops).



OSAMU
(Pulls out his
phone).
