---

I found out why Semi mentioned dinner earlier.

"Since we're heading to the same place, do you want to go together?" He asks after we both come out from the library. I could hardly hide the excitement bubbling inside as I gave him a nod. We head down to our lockers to keep our bags there.

"I am usually in the shower at this time of the day," He says while we walked out to the hall. "This is around the time when I wrap up practice and then get ready for dinner."

"I don't really have the authority over you, but please don't over-work yourself, okay?" I say, looking down to the small steps I was making. "It would be all for nothing if you get hurt before a match."

"I won't." His voice responds. "And don't say things like you don't have authority over me. We are soulmates, Een."

I wasn't sure how to respond to that. Semi would say things like that every once in awhile, but he was the one who had said that he didn't believe in soulmates.

He was literally harder to understand than Takeru.

I couldn't decide which side of his I could believe in, but I sure knew which side I wanted to.

It felt like he never let his heart speak out how he really felt... Or maybe it did, every once in awhile; but he forced them off because he couldn't trust them.

I find myself shooting a peek at my own wrist. Of course, it remained the same as the way it did when it first appeared, on my 18th birthday. After all, my 'soulmate' wasn't in love with me, so that figures.

I realised then, that I had unconsciously stopped looking at my own wrist ever since Semi had rejected me. The incomplete mark was proof that we were nothing but acquaintances that were supposed to be soulmates, after all.

And knowing that always made my heart feel painful, even if Semi was around to distract me.

"Een? You coming?"

You make me feel this way somehow...

I nod, following him into the cafeteria. As soon as we did, I wasn't the only one who noticed what was going on.

Hichimiya was seated at the table where Tendou and the rest of the volleyball club usually sat at, and the table I usually sit at was filled with Aimee and her club members.

"Why do I have a feeling Satori planned this?" Semi whispers to me, and I give him a shrug. We walk to the line to get our food, and I hear him sighing when we scanned the cafeteria.

"Let's go sit over there." He sticks his chin out to point to a table a couple tables away from the one Tendou was sitting at. My mind is still reeling at the fact that I had to eat with Semi for the first time, and the only thing I can do is follow him.

I had been doing a lot of following, ever since we started talking.

Semi doesn't seem to mind eating with me. In fact, it seemed like any other day for him, as he thanked for the food and began to eat a spoonful of his noodle soup.

As Aimee once mentioned, things like this mattered more to girls, than it did to the boys.

Or, it mattered to them just as much, but they were good at hiding it like Hichimiya had argued.
