Chapter 27

The months of relentless training had finally given way to a well-deserved break. Blue Lock had planned a short vacation for all the players to recharge, and while everyone was excited to relax, you couldn't shake the feeling that this was an opportunity to spend some quiet time away from the chaos with Rin. The idea of going on a vacation with him, just the two of you, had been bouncing around in your mind for weeks. You needed a break from the pressures of Blue Lock and the public eye, and there was no one you'd rather spend it with than Rin.

You were both used to the busy, fast-paced nature of your lives—constantly being surrounded by teammates, coaches, and the media. But something about the idea of escaping for a while, of leaving it all behind and simply enjoying each other's company, felt like the perfect way to reconnect.

The vacation destination had been set: a secluded beach resort away from the noise of the city, where you could swim, eat good food, and relax in the sun. The idea was simple—take a break from soccer, enjoy the calmness of the ocean, and let go of everything for a little while. It was the perfect getaway for the two of you.

"Are you sure you're okay with just the two of us going? I mean, we could've invited the whole group..." you asked as you packed your suitcase, glancing over at Rin. You were already planning to leave the next morning.

Rin, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed, scrolling through his phone, looked up and raised an eyebrow. "Nah. This is our time. No distractions. I'm not sharing it with anyone."

You smirked, knowing exactly what he meant. The rest of the team had planned their own getaways, but this was different. It wasn't just a chance to get away from Blue Lock, it was a chance for you and Rin to relax and get to know each other even more—without the pressures of training or media attention.

"I'm glad you feel that way," you replied, trying not to sound too giddy. But the truth was, you were excited. More than excited.

"Besides," Rin added, leaning back on the bed with a smirk, "I'm not sharing you with anyone. Especially not with Reo or Chigiri. They'll be all over you."

You rolled your eyes playfully, throwing a small pillow at him. "You're so dramatic," you teased.

The next morning, you both made your way to the airport. The flight was short, and as you arrived at the resort, the warm breeze and soft sounds of the ocean immediately put you at ease. The resort was everything you had imagined: quiet, beautiful, and secluded, with only a few other vacationers scattered about. It was the perfect place to escape the chaos of your daily lives.

You checked into your bungalow, a private suite right by the beach, with a view of the crystal-clear water. The moment you stepped into the room, the scent of the ocean filled the air, and you felt an overwhelming sense of calm wash over you. The room was simple but elegant, with large windows that let in the light and a hammock on the balcony that swung gently in the breeze.

"Wow," you breathed, stepping out onto the balcony to take in the view. "This place is incredible."

Rin, who had been following behind you, leaned against the doorframe and gave a satisfied nod. "I told you it would be perfect. No distractions, just us and the beach."

You smiled, walking back inside to grab your sunscreen. "I think we should go for a swim first. I'm dying to dip my toes in the ocean."

Rin followed suit, grabbing his own beachwear from the bag and tossing you a look. "Yeah? You think you can keep up with me in the water?"

You laughed, a playful glint in your eyes. "I'll race you to the water, and I'll definitely beat you."

"Oh, you're on," Rin said, smirking, before pulling his shirt off and making his way toward the beach.

The day passed in a blur of sunshine, laughter, and a bit of friendly competition. You and Rin spent hours in the ocean, swimming, playing in the waves, and trying to outdo each other in small challenges. Rin, despite his usual competitive nature, seemed to be in his element, completely relaxed. He was no longer the driven, focused athlete you were so used to seeing; today, he was just a guy, enjoying his time with you by the beach.

As you both lay on the beach towels afterward, drying off in the sun, you couldn't help but glance over at him. His usual confident exterior was softened in this peaceful environment, and there was a certain tranquility to him that you hadn't seen before. He was different here. The rigid, stoic persona he'd built around himself in Blue Lock seemed to melt away as he lay beside you, his hand casually brushing against yours every now and then.

"Do you ever just think about... what comes next?" you asked, your voice quieter than usual. You weren't sure where the question came from, but you were curious. Rin had never been one to talk much about the future outside of soccer.

He shifted slightly, propping himself up on one elbow to look at you. "All the time," he said softly. "But I think... I think it's better to live in the moment. Focus on what's right in front of you. Like this. Right now."

You nodded, smiling at his words. "Yeah. I like that."

The rest of the afternoon passed with more laughter, walks along the beach, and sharing meals at the resort's restaurant. It was the kind of day you had been longing for—a day of simplicity, where the only thing that mattered was the company you kept and the freedom to just be.

As the sun began to set, painting the sky in shades of pink and orange, you and Rin took a walk along the shoreline. The air was cooler now, the warmth of the day fading into a gentle evening breeze. The sounds of the ocean waves crashing against the shore were calming, the rhythmic ebb and flow mirroring the steady beat of your heart.

"Rin..." you began, your voice soft as you looked out at the horizon. "I never thought I'd get to do something like this. Just take a break from everything and spend time with you like this."

Rin turned to you, his eyes glinting in the fading light. "I'm glad you're here," he said quietly, his words carrying an unexpected weight. "We needed this. I needed this."

You smiled, a warmth spreading in your chest as you walked side by side, the peaceful quiet of the moment wrapping around you like a comforting blanket.

Eventually, you both made your way back to the bungalow. The stars were beginning to twinkle in the sky, and as you sat together on the balcony, sipping cold drinks and watching the waves crash against the shore, it felt like time had slowed down.

Rin leaned back in the hammock, pulling you gently beside him. "You know," he said, his voice a little quieter now, "I don't think I've ever truly taken time off like this. I'm usually always focused on what's next. But with you here, I feel like... I can breathe. Like there's no pressure."

You laid your head on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat as you both watched the stars above. "Me too," you whispered. "Maybe this is what we both needed. A break from everything. To just be here. Together."

Rin's hand rested on your back, gently rubbing in circles as the night air settled around you. "Yeah. Together."

And for that moment, as the world seemed to stand still, you knew that this vacation was more than just an escape. It was a chance to build something lasting—a bond that wasn't just about soccer or the expectations of the world around you. It was about the simple, quiet moments. The ones that spoke louder than words.

And, as you both drifted off to sleep under the stars, you realized that this was just the beginning of something new. Something beautiful. Something that felt like home
