The squad were hanging out at their garden when they heard the doorbell so Hajime stood up and opened it. He was surprised to see the people they least expect to find them behind the door.
"What are you doing here?" Hajime asked.
"We came to apologize," Yamaguchi answered.
Hajime saw that they all look like zombies and chose the people he find sincere enough to apologize while the others were left behind.
"Why don't you let us in?" Lia asked.
"Cause you're not here to really apologize but to blame them," Hajime answered, with a stern voice.
"I-," Lia started but got interrupted.
"Stop it, he's right. We didn't come here to really apologize," Dave interrupted.
"Cause it is her fault!!" Lia exclaimed.
Rain suddenly show up then spoke, "How come it's my fault when I don't even know what happened to you?" She asked, coldly.
"I-" Lia started but got interrupted again.
"Enough, let's just go," Dave interrupted.
"Fine," Lia said then left with Dave following behind her.
"Who are they?" Tanaka finally asked.
"Not for you to worry about," Rain answered then looked at them properly.
"So what brought you here?" Rain added.
"We came to apologize," Yamaguchi answered.
"Yea," Kageyama confirmed.
"Follow us then," Rain said as she started to go inside.
Hajime and the others followed her to the garden and when they saw Shoyo, they immediately kneel in front of him and asked for forgiveness.
"I am fine with you guys bowing but kneeling on the ground, don't you think it's too much?" Shoyo said.
"Cause we know we made a grave mistake, Shoyo" Noya exclaimed.
Shoyo sighed then said, "As what I told the others, I don't accept your apology right away but I do appreciate it. I can be civil with you but I don't think the friendship I showed you will return."
"We understand Shoyo. We're the ones at fault, after all." Daichi said.
"Then stand up and I'll just see you around," Shoyo said with a small smile.
"Yea, we'll see you around" Tanaka said.
"Bye Shoyo," Yamaguchi said.
"And congrats, btw" Kageyama added.
"Thank you. Have a safe trip," Shoyo told them.
"We will, thanks" they all said.
They finally left and Shoyo saw how they sigh in relief like something was finally off their shoulders that made him smile.
"What's with the smile?" Shin asked.
"They feel light," Shoyo answered.
"I wonder, when will the b**** learn," Rain wondered.
"I guess, never" Rin said.
"As long as she will leave you alone," Eita said.
"Then we'll let her be," Keiji added.
Rain only smiled at them so they smiled back at her and they continued to enjoy their day.
