For the past few days sakuragi change his schedule in going out, instead of him going out in the morning after his breakfast like he used to. He goes out in the afternoon at exactly 3:30 pm to go to the basketball court.


After knowing that there is a basketball court just near their place with just 25 minutes walk, he always find time to visit and watch kids his age play. He also knows that less and less people came to play in the afternoon so he change his schedule and decide to come here in this hour instead. Besides he really doesn't like people watching him play specially strangers and he doesn't know anyone in the court so coming out asking himself to join them wasn't exactly his cup of tea, although there are some kids he talk to who for some times stand there just like himself watching the others play from time to time. 


He is not a shy kind of type of a guy but he is also not a thick kind of person that specialize in socializing. He was just in between, like saying if you don't want to talk to me i also don't want to talk to you that kind of guy..

So knowing the curiosity of his dad when he saw his son went out in the afternoon and come back home when it was turning dark, he question him. Of course he answered halfheartedly saying he met some friends in some basketball court which of course isn't true considering he doesn't socialize much.

but with his half lie answer, it doesn't take some persuasion to make his father believe it. He was quite happy when he heard it actually, saying that it was time he have  made some friends. 

He made me think that i don't have any friends and cant really make one?! tsk that baka oyaji.?! As if i don't have an ability?! 

Of course with the way he act for the past years always shutting himself in the house rarely go out, his father thinks that perhaps he is to shy and don't know how to make friends.

His father don't know that it was just because he doesn't really have the mood to go out and make friends. With how ridiculous his situation he is in, it doesn't even cross his mind unless his dad remind him to .

So knowing that his son change his schedule when he go out in the house, Suzuke Sakuragi doesn't question it anymore and just agree.

" Do not stay outside for so long, be sure to return back before it was beginning to get dark.!!", suzuke shouted at his son who is now opening the front door.

" hai oyaji!!!", shouted sakuragi as he slam the front door.

Suzuke just shook his head helplessly and smile, he look at the picture of his wife above the cabinet in their living room...

" shori, our son is growing fast. He was quite energetic although sometimes he spout some nonsense but still he grows happily and well like i promise you...", he said out of now where while looking at the picture of his wife... 

*cough* *cough* *cough*

*sigh* i wish you were here with us..., he thought mindlessly while he was attack by his cough again..
