Out Ball

"You're coming to see my volleyball match, right?" a voice behind the phone said.

"Yes, I'll come. I'll be there in a minute. This is your first match I've seen since coming home from Paris. I'm not going to miss it." Nara replied.

"I'm glad to hear it. At least when I see you in the audience seat, you'll be my encouragement."

"I'm 100% sure you'll win. I know you're a great player."

"Okay, I'll wait. I'll call you later." Then he hung up on the call.

Nara put her phone in her little bag. After making sure no one was left behind, Nara came out of her room. Nara walks down the stairs of her house and immediately heads for the dinner table. She went to the refrigerator in the kitchen and took a bottle of water. After picking up her drinking bottle, Nara turned around and sat at the dinner table to eat a sandwich. In front of her sat a man who was eating cereal. He is Nara's older brother, Ryu Watanabe.

Nara Watanabe was the second of two children. Her older brother was 6 years older than her and worked as a director at their father's company. They only live alone in the house. While their parents live in Paris for business purposes and will return to Japan in 7 months. Previously, Nara also studied in Paris. She majored in design. However, after finishing her studies she decided to return to Japan.

"You're going to see Yuki's volleyball match?" Ryu asks Nara who is eating a sandwich.

Yuki is Nara's boyfriend. Yuki Ishikawa. He is a volleyball athlete and a member of the Japan Men's National Volleyball Team. Nara meets Yuki by accident while they are in Paris. Since then, they have been close and have finally decided to go on a date. Of course it's not easy for Yuki to get Nara's heart. Nara, who has felt hurt in the past, decides not to have a relationship with anyone. However, Yuki's efforts to melt Nara's heart are not in vain. Although in fact, their age difference is 3 years (Nara is older than Yuki) Yuki and Nara don't care about that. Yuki is mature enough for his age.

"Hemm...Are you sure you don't want to come with me?" Nara asked her brother. Yuki actually gives Nara 2 tickets. 1 for Nara and 1 for her brother. But Ryu can't come because he just wants to be home. Ryu is one of those people who rarely leaves the house. His office holidays are only used for resting at home and playing with his beloved dog, Jiro.

"I'm too lazy to get out of the house. Tell Yuki, I'm sorry I couldn't come. I'll see the game next time. Emm btw, where did you get that T-shirt?" Ryu smiles at Nara. Nara wears a T-shirt with the number 14 and has the name 'Ishikawa' on his back. Her shirt looks oversized, she folds her sleeves so that they are not too long and inserts the bottom into her jeans.

"Oh, Yuki gave it to me. He sent this shirt along with the match ticket. He wants me to use it. Do I already look like the number 1 fan?" Nara smiles and answers her brother while eating a sandwich.

"You don't look like a fan, you look like Yuki's stalker." Ryu laughs after teasing Nara. Hearing Ryu's words, Nara frowns.

"No, no. I'm kidding. Looks good on you. Want me to take you to the match venue? I also want to go buy food for Jiro."

"Thank you! You are very understanding." He gave a thumbs up to Ryu as a gesture of gratitude. Ryu just smiled at his sister.

"Okay, I'll change and get the car keys first." Ryu got out of the chair and immediately went to his room.
