I was walking home when a sudden thought crossed my mind."Wait a minute, I forgot to tell Gouenji, Kidou, and Endou that I already know why I was the only one who didn’t transfer schools" I muttered to myself
Reaching into my bag, I grabbed my cellphone, intending to text them. However, when I powered it on, I was greeted with a disappointing message.
"Low battery?! Seriously? Right now? Why?!" I exclaimed in frustration.
|No One’s POV|
Meanwhile, at your house, three familiar young men stood at the doorstep, ringing the doorbell.
"Huh?" Hana, your older sister, opened the door and was immediately surprised
"Kidou, Gouenji, Endou! It’s been so long since I last saw you three."
"Hana-neesan! Long time no see," Endou greeted her with his usual cheerful smile
"Is [F/N] home?" Kidou asked
"She’s not back yet," Hana replied, a hint of concern in her voice
"I’ve been waiting for her, but she hasn’t come home from school yet, and she hasn’t texted me either. Usually, since she doesn’t have club activities anymore, she comes home early. She hasn’t mentioned going anywhere, so I’m starting to worry."
|Your POV|
I was almost home when I noticed Endou, Kidou, and Gouenji talking to my sister in front of the house."Endou! Gouenji! Kidou!" I called out, jogging toward them.
The three turned to face me.
"(F/N), there you are! We’ve been waiting for you" Endou said, relieved
"What are you three doing here?" I asked, curious
"Wait, actually, perfect timing—I have something to tell you!"
"No need" Gouenji said with a smile
"We already know." he added
I tilted my head in confusion "How?"
Hana interrupted, looking confused herself "What are you all talking about? I don’t understand"
I turned to my sister. "Neechan, there’s a soccer club at Raimon again, and I’m one of its members!"
Hana’s face lit up with excitement "Really? That’s amazing!"
"Congrats, (F/N)!" Endou said with his trademark grin
"Thanks, Endou. I missed you three so much," I said, feeling a warm sense of nostalgia
"We missed you too" Endou replied warmly
"Want to hang out with us?" Gouenji asked
I glanced at my sister, silently asking for permission. She smiled.
"It’s okay, you can go. Have fun!" she said
"Really? Thank you!" I said, giving her a quick hug. "We’ll be back later!"
"Enjoy your time, you four!" Hana said, waving as we left
・・・・・・
We decided to eat at Rairaken, the ramen shop we all loved.
"Hmm? Kidou, Gouenji, (F/N), Endou—it’s been a while!" Coach Hibiki greeted us warmly
"What’ll it be?" he asked
"Ramen with fried rice, please," I said eagerly
"Same for me!" Endou added
"Ramen with dumplings" Gouenji ordered
"One plain ramen for me" Kidou said
"Got it!" Coach Hibiki said, jotting down our orders
"How much will it be?" I asked, reaching for my wallet
"No need, I’ll treat you all" Kidou said calmly
"Really? Thank you!" Endou and I said in unison
"You don’t have to pay" Coach Hibiki said with a smile
"It’s on the house—it’s been so long since you’ve all been here" he smile
"Is that really okay?" Gouenji asked
"Of course. It’s good to see you all again" Coach said warmly
"Coach, do the others from the former Raimon soccer team still come here?" I asked curiously
"Yes, often. Kazemaru, Kurimatsu, and Kabeyama drop by regularly" Coach replied
"Here’s your order!" Coach said as he brought out steaming bowls of ramen.
"Wow!" Endou exclaimed, his eyes lighting up.
"It’s been a while since I’ve had ramen here" I said, savoring the aroma
"Thank you for the food!" we all said in unison before digging in
As we ate, the door to the restaurant opened, and I turned to see a familiar face.
"Kazemaru?" I said, surprised
"F/N? Long time no see!" Kazemaru greeted us, walking over with a wide smile
"Kazemaru! I missed you!" I said enthusiastically,
"so do I" he smile
"Kazemaru!" Endou said, standing to greet him
Kazemaru sat down beside me. "One order of ramen, please" he said to Coach Hibiki
"No need to pay" Coach said, smiling
"Thank you" Kazemaru replied before turning to me
"(F/N), I heard there’s a soccer club at Raimon again. Congratulations!"
"Thank you!" I said, smiling brightly
"So, how are your new teammates?" Kazemaru asked
"They’re kind, determined, and strong. I think they’ll give it their all in the match" I replied
"That’s great to hear" Kazemaru said
"I also heard your next match is against Seishou Academy." he added
Endou and Gouenji froze
"Seishou Academy?! Isn’t that where you study, Kidou?!" Endou exclaimed
"Yes" Kidou said simply, sipping his ramen
"Why didn’t you tell us?!" Gouenji demanded
"Didn’t I mention it? My bad" Kidou replied nonchalantly
"When’s the match?" Kazemaru asked
"Next week" Kidou and I said in unison
"If that’s the case, I’ll try to come watch" Kazemaru said.
After finishing our meal, we decided to head home. Kazemaru joined us as we walked back to my house.
"Thanks for walking me home," I said, smiling at the group.
"No problem!" Endou said cheerfully.
"Take care, (F/N). See you soon" Gouenji said
"Bye, and good luck with your match" Kazemaru added.
As they left, I waved goodbye, feeling grateful for the reunion and the bonds we shared.
