After he waved goodbye to Oikawa, he walked with Kiyoko to go to their bus.

"Hey, Hinata I don't mean to bother but are you going out with Seijoh's Captain? I don't oppose it or anything I'm just a little curious."
Kiyoko asked.

"No, we're just friends." Hinata replied, voice filled with denial.

"Oh, is that so you seem a tad too close.. must be my imagination, sorry for that weird question." Kiyoko simply apologized with a soft smile on her face.

Me and him close... Too close?... We're just friends... I mean I don't like him..? Eh...
***
He's kind, gentle, handsome, he has this nice aroma... Cool and strong, very strong...
***
He chased me... He chased after me at that time... He chose me... To understand him, to be closer to me...
***
I like him... Not because he's kind and handsome or anything... Because its him... The man who saw me... Who understood me... What if he doesn't like me back.. what should I do?
***
"Hinata? Are you okay? You look quite pale." Kiyoko asked worried of Hinata.

"Kiyoko- san what if you like someone but maybe he doesn't like you back... What will you do?" Hinata asked for he was lost...

"That depends on you, Hinata... Do what you think will make you happy and not regret things." Kiyoko suggested.

"Do what won't make me regret... Then, I..." Hinata mumbled to himself.

"Kiyoko- san, Hinata! We're boarding the bus." Tanaka notified the two.

Hinata was convinced as he walk to the bus. He will do what makes him not regret.

Sometimes, I have to be strong and do things so that I won't regret it... Time just doesn't wait... So, I won't hesitate anymore... I won't deny or run away anymore... If you chased for me then I'll chase you too... I'll find you and I'll love you... So just wait for a bit longer, Tooru... I am on my way to you.

Hinata received a call. He noticed that his phone had several missed calls, all from Oikawa.

"Is this Shouyou?" An unfamiliar voice asked.

"Yes." Hinata felt a bad feeling.

"You are the recent contact we have seen in this phone... We are sorry to inform you but.."

At that moment Hinata couldn't hear anything, he was far too surprised to hear such news... It took him a moment to catch on.

"Where is he?" Hinata asked.

"At *** hospital." The nurse replied.

"I'll go there... Please wait." Hinata replied.

"Sensei, I have to go now... Its an emergency." Hinata notified his coach.

"Sure, where do you want me to drop you off." Ukai worriedly asked.

"At *** hospital." Hinata replied.

"Hinata, what happened?" Daichi worriedly asked, he could see how shaken Hinata is.
