So that's who Bokuto was.. He looked pretty strong and bulk. He had funny hair and.. A bright smile.

A smile that is somehow so reassuring but showed..

So much pain.

"Here, Akaashi. This was your favorite soup. I always made this for you whenever you request which is well, every week but today, I'm making you a lot. Hopefully, it atleast reminds you how much you love that soup" Mrs. Akatani said while feeding his son's favorite soup.

"oh.. Thank you but you didn't have to bother makin-

I think it would be better if I eat this.. She suddenly turned all gray and sad when I was about to turn it down. I mean she's my mother after all. That's what she told me.

" Thanks! I'll.. Eat it well" Akaashi uttered and smiled. His mom haven't seen his smile for so long, that everytime Akaashi smiles, his mom cries for a while.

"oh! Someone's calling me. I have to take this, excuse me for a second Akaashi"

" sure.." Akaashi said as he sips from the spoon he's using to eat the surprisingly delicious soup that he loved right away. Mrs. Akatani rose up from her seat and answered the call.

" hey Mrs. Akatani.. How's Akaashi?"

"Oh Bokuto! Great timing, Akaashi is awake right now eating his favorite soup"

"oh I see. Um I asked my mother about something and she agreed"

"hm? What was it?"

" I think I Want to go to Akaashi"

".. What?"

"I want to travel back to Japan and be the one to take care of Akaashi"

...

"hold on, and your mother approved of this?"

"uhh not exactly. I just asked her that if I were to fly to another country without her permission, Is she going to get mad.. She said she will ground me from playing volleyball ever again.. She never said no so I think I'm good to go!"

"Bokuto! Are you out of your mind?"

Bokuto again.. I hear his name coming out from my mother's mouth.
He really calls my mother all the time just to see me and ask how I'm doing.
I wonder.. Who are you Bokuto-san and what am I to you.

"I will find a way Mrs. Akatani. I just know that I'll be there for Akaashi and I won't back down"
