"Seriously?" Tanaka's voice rang out in disbelief as he gawked at the imposing light brown inn in front of them. "This is the inn? Holy crap!" he exclaimed, his eyes wide in astonishment.

(Y/n) gave him a light tap on the shoulder, drawing his attention. She pointed to the smaller, unassuming inn next to the towering building—'Jaybird Inn.'

Tanaka's expression shifted to one of mock horror. "Sweet! We're gonna see a ghost there," he said, eyes sparkling with excitement. Hinata and Noya, overhearing, exchanged glances before their faces lit up with the same curiosity.

"Ghost?" (Y/n) asked with a mischievous grin, pushing a lock of hair behind her ear. "Let's go explore!" she suggested, her voice laced with playful enthusiasm.

"Yeah!" the three of them cheered in unison, ready to rush inside, but they froze as they sensed the unmistakable dark aura of their coach, Daichi, standing nearby.

They all slowly turned toward him, the playful energy suddenly replaced with sheepishness.

"Osu..." they muttered in unison, acknowledging Daichi's presence, though their voices lacked the usual enthusiasm.

After their practice at the gymnasium that Nekomata-sensei had arranged, the team returned to the inn. They gathered in a spacious room and sat cross-legged on the floor, awaiting what seemed like an important announcement.

Ukai coach stood up, a serious but excited expression on his face. Takeda-sensei stood beside him, looking equally as invested.

"There's something I want you all to see," Ukai began, his voice cutting through the murmurs of the room. "It's a video I've put together for everyone."

"Are we going to be analyzing our opponents for the first match?" someone asked, their voice tinged with anticipation.

Ukai shook his head, grinning. "No, not yet. What we're going to watch is something a bit different—Takinoue Electric Shop's very own 'I'm Awesome' video."

A few confused looks were exchanged around the room, but Ukai proceeded to show the video. It was a collection of clips featuring each of the team members, showing their best moments on the court.

"Holy crap!" Hinata shouted, his eyes wide with awe as he saw himself on the screen, followed by the rest of the team's amazed reactions.

Ukai explained the video, but (Y/n) found herself staring at the screen in quiet surprise. There she was, performing flawlessly on the court, her movements sharp and confident.

"Wow, (Y/n)-san looks so cool in the video!" Noya remarked, a playful grin tugging at his lips.

(Y/n) smiled warmly at the compliment. "Why, thank you, Noya," she responded, her voice filled with light amusement. Her heart skipped a beat when she noticed the way Noya's gaze softened at her words, making her blush slightly. She wasn't used to this kind of attention but appreciated the warmth behind it.

After the video, (Y/n) grabbed her bathrobe from her bag, ready to head to the bath. "Let's go?" Kiyoko asked, already standing up and motioning to the others.

"Yeah, I'll catch up in a second," (Y/n) said, her voice light as she smiled at her friends. She was about to get up when her phone buzzed.

She checked the caller ID and couldn't help but smile when she saw the name. "Kuroo," she muttered under her breath, before answering the call.

"Hubby!" she greeted warmly.

"Pumpkin!" Kuroo's voice rang out from the other end, filled with familiar warmth. "What are you doing?"

"I was just about to go take a bath," (Y/n) replied, her smile never fading.

"Oh, sorry for disturbing you," Kuroo said, a teasing tone in his voice.

"It's fine," she reassured him. "What's up?"

"Nothing," Kuroo said, and she could almost hear the playful grin in his voice. "I just miss you."

"I miss you too, Hubby," she replied, her voice soft with affection. Her heart fluttered, as it always did when they spoke like this.

There was a pause, and then Kuroo's voice returned, more playful than before. "I'm gonna kiss you tomorrow."

(Y/n) felt her face flush. "Hubby!" she exclaimed, unable to hide the smile creeping across her face.

"Hehe, now go take your bath," Kuroo said, clearly amused by her reaction.

"Okay," she replied with a smile. "See you tomorrow, and I love you."

"I love you too," Kuroo responded, his voice warm and sincere. She could hear the sound of a quick "muah" before the call ended.

(Y/n) stood up, slipping the bathrobe over her shoulder and heading to the bath with a smile that refused to fade. The conversation with Kuroo had lightened her mood, and she felt a warmth spreading through her as she walked into the bathroom, her mind filled with thoughts of him.

In the bath, Yachi and Kiyoko were already there, chatting quietly. As (Y/n) sat down beside them, Yachi noticed her smile.

"(Y/n)-san, who called you?" Yachi asked, her tone curious.

"It was Kuroo," (Y/n) replied, her face turning a little pink.

Kiyoko raised an eyebrow. "That's why you've been smiling."

(Y/n)'s face flushed even more, and she quickly tried to hide it, feeling embarrassed. "You guys knew that I'm in a relationship?" she asked nervously.

Both girls nodded, though Yachi looked a bit nervous as she glanced around. "Actually, just the Karasuno boys and Bokuto with Akaashi," Yachi said, her voice quieter now. "Don't worry, we won't tell anyone."

Kiyoko smiled knowingly, and (Y/n) relaxed a little. "But how do you guys know?" (Y/n) asked, raising an eyebrow.

Yachi hesitated, looking guilty for a second. "O-oh, um... we kind of... stalked you guys?" she confessed, her cheeks flushing.

Kiyoko simply smiled and shrugged. "We couldn't help it," she said, her tone teasing. "You're too cute together."

(Y/n)'s eyes widened in surprise. "Whaaa?" she exclaimed, the shock clear on her face. "You guys stalked us?!"

"Well," Yachi began, laughing nervously, "you came out of nowhere and startled us. So we kind of—"

"Am I invisible?" (Y/n) interrupted with a playful grin.

"Maybe," Kiyoko teased, her smile mischievous.

The three of them laughed together, and (Y/n) couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. Despite the chaos of the upcoming match, in this moment, she felt completely at ease with her friends and the people who cared about her.
