■Hinata's POV■

I look out at the window, watching as the buildings outside were left behind as the bus that I'm in is moving forward.

Ting!

My heart skips a beat by the sound of my phone's notification. I open it and look at the name of the sender, the one that I've been expecting.

Sender: L/N Y/N
Recipient: Hinata Shoyo

So you're going to have a video call with your high school volleyball friends? sounds fun! enjoy your evening with your friends Hinata san ^^

How could a mere text make me excited?

I type a reply on the column and press the send button.

Sender: Hinata Shoyo
Recipient: L/N Y/N

Actually the others are meeting in my hometown, Kageyama suddenly asked us to hang out and he's in Miyagi, it's pretty rare though because he lives in Tokyo too, don't know why he suddenly goes there. Because I'm not there, I decided to join through video call. You to do your best at the store. Have a good evening!

Sender: L/N Y/N
Recipient: Hinata Shoyo

Thank you Hinata san
Have a good evening to you too ^^

Hinata: hft... can't tell her...

The bus stops near my apartment and I walk to my place. I put my bags and jacket on the sofa and sit. I take my phone and press the video call button, it's Yamaguchi's number.

Yamaguchi: oh Hinata, guys Hinata's here...

Yamaguchi makes so that I could see my friends.

Hinata: Hey guys! Kageyama why are you suddenly in Miyagi, and asked us all to hang... if you tell me earlier I might go there too...

Kageyama: ah... sorry... it's just I have something to tell..

Why Kageyama looks nervous?

Kageyama sits straight and looks at all of us one by one.

Kageyama: well... I'm getting married...

Married?

Hinata: MARRIED?????

Yamaguchi: wha- how? What? With whom?

It seems like I'm not the only one who's surprised.

Kageyama takes his phone out and shows us a photo of him and a (h/c) haired girl. He sent the photo to me so I can see it clearly too.

Kageyama: well... she's one of my fans... we just met by coincidence... and I... I'm attached to her...

Kageyama says this and I can see a slight blush from the screen.

Yachi: Kageyama congratulations!

Tsukishima: when will it be held?

Kageyama tells us that the wedding will be in Miyagi because his fiance lives there. I was still surprised that Kageyama is getting married, I never heard about him getting a gi-

Wait... One of his fans? that girl look familia-

Hinata: KAGEYAMA, WAS SHE THE GIRL THAT YOU ASKED FOR THE NUMBER AFTER OUR MATCH IN THE OLYMPIC LAST YEAR???

Kageyama looks flustered but he nods his head. He really ended up with that girl.

I also asked for L/N's number...

L/N...

■3rd Person POV■

The call is already ended, Hinata and the other are happy to hear about the news Kageyama shared. Though from the call they learn that Tsukishima is currently having a slight problem with his fiance but he said that he will fix it.

Hinata is staring at his phone, looking at Kageyama's number. Ever since he knows the soon to be Kageyama's bride is the girl from the Olympics that Kageyama just bluntly asked for the numbers, Hinata wants to ask things to Kageyama.

Hinata: come on...

Hinata presses the call button and wait.

Ring! Ring! Click!

Kageyama: oi Hinata, what's wrong?

Hinata: um Kageyama... uh so that girl uh, you uh how did you end up with her?

Kageyama: huh?

Hinata's face is blushing right now and he finally tells Kageyama what he wants to know.

Hinata: How did you end up with her? How.... to treat a girl?

Kageyama: oi Hinata...

Hinata: what?

Kageyama: is there a girl you like?

Y/N's face flashes on Hinata's mind, making the boy's face turns red and flustered.

Hinata: i-it's not like th- it's- she's a girl that I've just met recently and... I... kinda like being around her...

Chuckles

Kageyama is laughing a little on the other side of the line making Hinata embarrassed, thinking that he was making fun of him.

Hinata: DON'T LAUGH IF YOU DONT WANT TO TEL-

Kageyama: Hinata...learn more about her... get to know every single thing about her... and...

Hinata listens closely to what Kageyama says.

Kageyama: if after you did learn more about her you're still attracted to her... pursue her... make her yours... got it Boke?

Hinata's heart is beating faster as he remembers his encounter with Y/N. How her sweet fragrance hits her when she's near, how her smile managed to make him sucks on his breath, how mere text from her could make his heart racing.

Hinata: o-okay...

Kageyama was heard chuckling again.

Kageyama: well... take her to my wedding

Hinata: wh- that soon!??? Your wedding is in three mon-

Kageyama: can't wait to see your girl boke, bye

Tut!

Kageyama ended the call making Hinata stare at his phone and slams it on the sofa.

Hinata: Bakageyama!

Hinata throws his body on the sofa and looks at his phone.

Hinata: that soon...

"Kageyama: pursue her... make her yours... got it Boke?"

Hinata sits down and opens the chat room with Y/N. He types the things that he has been wanting to send to her since days ago.

And...

It's finally sent...

■Y/N's POV■

I'm walking to the hospital after closing the store. When I arrive mom was sitting on her bed, eating apples.

I'm now sitting on the chair next to the bed as I and mom are now watching the drama mom likes on TV.

Once in a while, I stare at my phone that's staying still on the bed next to mom's hand.

Hinata san must be still talking with his friends...

Since our last encounter, we still don't have the time to meet again because Hinata san is busy and so am I with the store.

We keep on exchanging messages and I'm ended up expecting his message every day, every minute, every second, hoping that when a notification came, it was him texting me.

Stop daydreaming Y/N...

Ieri: who are you waiting for to call you sweetie?

Huh?

I look up at mom who's smiling at me, she reaches a hand and brushes my bang to the side.

Ieri: my pretty daughter is so fixated on her phone that she doesn't even bat an eye on her favorite actor on TV...

I can feel my face grew warm from what mom says.

Y/N: n-no it's nothing... ah, your apple, let me cut another one for you

Should you be that obvious?

When I'm cutting an apple for mom, facing away from her, my phone has a notification, a message notification, making me turns around and reach a hand to take it.

Then I look up at mom who's smiling at me.

Ieri: look at it, sweetie...

I could feel my heart is beating faster. I take the phone and look at the messaging app.

Dub Dub

Hinata san...

It's from Hinata san

Sender: Hinata Shoyo
Recipient: L/N Y/N

I forget to ask you this, can you tell me your store's address? If you're busy, maybe I can come and visit you instead if that's alright with you.

My heart is beating faster, the thought of seeing Hinata san again makes me happy.

Ieri: oh my... who might that be? The person who can make my daughter's eyes shine so prettily from just reading a message...

Mom is smiling and I can't help but look away, embarrassed with what kind of face that I'm making right now.

I look at the text again. Our mochi shop is cone up to our house. Maybe, I can invite Hinata san for lunch at home.

Y/N: m-mom...

Ieri: yes sweetie?

Y/N: c-can I invite someone over to our house... for lunch?

Mom puts her hand on my head and rubs it gently.

Ieri: if it's the person who makes you look happy right now, then of course...

I type a reply and send Hinata san my address.

All these days...

I can't help but hope to see him again...

Maybe...

After meeting him again...

He will stop appearing on my mind...

But...

What if he doesn't ...
