It's Just A Crush

Chapter 4

It was a Saturday practice for the Karasuno Boys' Volleyball Club. It's been over a week since they arrived from their short training trip in Tokyo, and Tsukishima and Suzuki were not on speaking terms.

Which at first was noticeable since they rarely talked to each other, however, it was soon realised during one of their practices at the gym.

               Another problem also arose.

On the night they arrived back, Kageyama and Hinata had a huge fight as well - leading them to not be on speaking terms either. However, this wasn't about them, this is about Suzuki and Tsukishima. So, during one of their practices, Hinata shrieked loud enough for most of the second and third years to pause their actions and gaze at his small figure.

"What's wrong Hinata?" Daichi asked worriedly.

Hinata's brown eyes were accompanied by a puzzled expression, his vision sighted on a peculiar scene. It took a few seconds before he spoke.

"I'm not sure if I'm getting this right but. . ." he pointed his finger in a certain direction, "It seems that they haven't talked (let alone) banter ever since they arrived at the gym,"

Everyone's attention was now brought by the two figures from far away. Suzuki sitting in her regular spot (with papers surrounding her) and Tsukishima that leaned against the wall near her - quenching his thirst silently and doing his best not to look in her direction.

It all took the cluster of students to realise that something was up.

Sugawara was the first to speak up.

"You're right. . . it seems they haven't even met a glance at each other,"

               And ever since then, both students and teachers have been stepping lightly around them.

On the Saturday practice, everyone was warming up in the gym. Hinata was stretching his arms and legs, scanning the room unconsciously when he noticed something.

"Huh?" He then faced Yachi; who was currently setting up the scoreboards for the practice games, "Yachi-san. Where's Suzuki-san?"

The blonde-hair manager finished writing on the scoreboard when she faced Hinata.

"Unfortunately she can't make it to practice today"

"Mhm," Hinata blinked, "How come? Is she feeling alright?"

"Yeah. . . she's just helping her aunt's work,"

"DON'T YOU KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE IT IS TO PRINT OUT THESE DISCOUNTS!!!!"

               In the small corner of an area, was a small yet home warming shop. 'Cozy Home Eatery' was the name.

It had been one of the local spots and a great place for tourist to visit and experience their food that tastes like home-cooked meals. Their most famous was ramyeon with the side of gyoza.

'Cozy Home Eater' is owned by a local known as Aiko Kobayashi - but in the future you will know her by another name - 'aunt'.
