[ RECAP ]

"Thanks for covering my ass," Y/N whispers to Tanaka as she follows Daichi.

"You owe me," he tells her before she left.

On the way, Daichi was ranting about how worried he was that Y/N just disappeared. But Y/N wasn't paying attention to what he was saying. Her mind was somewhere else, more like on someone else. She kept rethinking about what Tanaka told her and she smiled.

She was in love. In love with Semi Eita.

[ THE NEXT DAY ]

Y/N hummed as she listened to her recording that she made last night of her songs. She wanted to hear how they came out before she showed Semi so she could avoid any embarrassment by checking for mistakes. She took notes as she listened to her songs through her earphones.

As she was walking into the gym, following Daichi behind, she failed to see Suga who greeted her. Suga tapped on her shoulder which made Y/N jump since she was into her songs a lot at the moment. "Oh hey, Suga-senpai," Y/N smiles. "I'm sorry if I came out rude right now. I wasn't ignoring you."

"I figured," Suga smiles. "Are you listening to something? Also, why are you taking notes?"

"I'm just listening to some songs that I recorded last night," Y/N responds. "You want to listen to them with me?"

"I would but," Suga rubs his nape. "I don't really have an ear for music. I'm not into it as much."

"That's okay," Y/N tells him. She was honestly sad that she was surrounded by people who didn't have the same passion as her. But she didn't feel angry towards them, she understood. The only thing that saddens her was that they don't put as much effort to learn about her music as she does in their matches.

"Hey," Tanaka ruffles her hair as he enters the gym. "Why do you look so dead?"

"I stayed up late," she responded.

"Doing what? Wait- Do I even want to know?" Y/N smacked him, knowing what he was assuming.

"No," she told him. "I was recording some of my songs."

"That's cool," Tanaka says. "Let me listen to them." Well, it wasn't completely everyone who didn't care about her passion. Tanaka cared, which is why she was glad to call him her best friend.

"After practice," Y/N tells him. "Don't you remember that Coach Ukai has something important to talk to you guys about today?"

"Ohhh," Tanaka palms his forehead. "I forgot about that. I need to quickly change so I don't miss it and get in trouble."

After a few minutes, the whole team was sitting down on the floor, forming half a circle. Ukai approached the team and they all instantly stiffened. Both Ukai and Takeda had a dark aura surrounding them.

"I guess they're still mad about what happened during yesterday's practice match," Y/N whispered to Yachi who nodded in response.

"Obviously, you all don't get along with the boys from the Shiratorizawa team," Ukai crosses his arms. "I understand if you feel rivalry against them since it is pretty normal. But what is not normal is for you to engage in a fight with them."

"We apologize for our actions," the team bows synchronously.

"As the captain of the team, I shouldn't have acted that way," Daichi tells him.

"I also take responsibility since I did throw the first ball from our team," Tanaka says.

"You didn't throw the first ball from our team," Suga speaks up. "It was me. I was the one who hit that setter in his face."

"But that was accidental right?"

"I don't care if it was accidental or not," Ukai says. "You all, except Tsukki, started to throw volleyballs to the other team. When competing with someone you despise in the future, this isn't the way to go. You still need to be respectful."

"I agree," Takeda nods his head. "Taking violent actions like that messes your image and your reputation. You all need to learn how to be respectful and not lose any control when going against other teams."

"Which is why Takeda-sensei and I have decided on something," Ukai says which causes everyone's attention to increase on him. "Takeda-sensei and I called Coach Washijo for a rematch."

I heard the whole team groan but quickly compose themselves when Ukai sent them a glare. "If you all don't behave during this match then there will be consequences. Coach Washijo already talked to his team and told them the same thing. We expect both sides to act respectfully, understood?'

The team gives him a small nod as they sigh. "Good, it's going to be tomorrow so get ready. Now go practice." The team stands up and walks to the court to begin their practice.

Y/N couldn't help but smile to herself, knowing that she would see Semi again. She felt vibrations coming from her pocket and saw that Semi texted her.

"Miss my voice?" I tease and hear a small
scoff from the other side.

"Stop calling me semisemi," he says.

"But it's so cute," I tell him.

"So," I hear some fidgeting coming
from his side. "Can we meet later on
today?"

"If you let me call you Semisemi," I say.

"Fine you can call me Semisemi," he sighs.

"Great then I'll see you then," I smile.

"I-"

"Heyah Semisemi," I heard a voice
say in the background. "Who are
you talking to in the phone?"

"No-," he gets cut off.

"Is it Sato?"

"No," he tells the voice before turning
his attention back to me. "I have to
go. I'll see you."

"Bye Semisemi," I say. He says his goodbye before hanging up. I then heard footsteps approaching me and turn to the person.

"Y/N, who were you talking to?" Yachi asks as she tilts her head.
