Ding......Dong.......

"Coming~~"

Birds chirped on her window frame, while the sun rays penetrates her white curtain.

Her phone on her bed , showed Call Of Duty Mobile's loadout settings , waiting for it's owner to hold it back and press the 'Play' button.

(Kuu: add mine! : AltaxiusCo)

She jumped from the last three steps on the stairs , before sprinting to the front door.

She fumbled with the lock before opening the door , engulfed by a strong hug once the cold morning air entered the house.

"[F/n]!! Wow , you're awake early!! I thought Koushi's going to be the one who will open the door for us again~" Nishina pulled away, smiling with her usual wide cheeky smile.

"Hmm! I cant wait to discover the newest update of CODM.Anyway , where's Shiho??" [F/n] tilted her head , and the girl she had been bestfriends with moved out of her sight , pointing to the sleepy male behind her , who tried his best to not fell asleep and bury his head on the pile of leaves on [F/n]'s yard.

"Hi , Shiho,"

"Hmm...."

Nishina clicked her tongue.

"Shiho , stop being a lazy ass.We gotta enjoy the morning breeze and the warm sun light!! It's good for health!"

"But we're going to play games inside , what's the point?" Shiho remarked back.

"Ah right.Let's run then.[F/n] , change now."

"W-Wait that's not what i-"

"Just kidding , Shiho , [F/n].Okay, let's go in!"

"You gotta stop that annoying attitude , Nishina,"

"yOu gOtta sToP tHaT aNnOying aTtiTude nisHiNa-"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yesterday, 18.47...

"You really have no idea about it..?"

Koushi shook my shoulders a little bit , after drying my hair with a towel.

I shook my head as I threw the tracksuit Oikawa lent me to the dirty laundry basket.

"No.I dont remember telling anybody beside you and Nishiho," I mumbled before slumping myself to the bed , feeling the warmth of the bed and the new clean pajama."I wanna marry the bed and live forever after..."

Koushi put his fist on my head , smiling annoyingly.

"Life's not that simple , [F/n],"

I stayed silent as the memories of the girls and the restroom events flashed in a blink in my mind.

Koushi seemed to notice my silent behavior.

"[F/n]," he mumbled.

"Hm...?" I muttered lazily , still haunted by the memories.

"Did you happen to hide something from me?"

Thump.

I turned my head swiftly to the side , peering over my shoulder to see Koushi , sitting on the edge of my bed with a serious face replacing his usual smile.

"No...? Why would you ask such a thing out of the blue?" I raised my eyebrows, forcing a chuckle out.

Wow.

I'M GETTING BETTER AT LYING.

GOODJOB , YOU SLICK.

I gulped after remarking sarcastically to myself.

It's good that I dont stutter.

Koushi stared at we momentarily before smiling sadly, lifting his hand and placing them softly on my head.

"If you had something disturbing you , just....please remember," he ruffled my head.

"I'm here for you,"

My eyes widened at the tone full of love he just gave to me, and give him a closed eyes smile.

"Hm! I know,"

But I can't tell you.

"I know I can count on you anytime , Koushi,"

Sorry , but I gotta deal with this by myself.

"You're strong , afterall."

No , you'll suffer because of me.

"Thank for your motivation , though,"

Please don't get near me anymore...

Koushi.

He chuckled.

"Of course!! I'm your big brother after all!!" He cheered.

I smiled seeing his usual cheerful and angelic self , slowly clenching my fists.

I need to survive this by myself.

Mom's true.

I can't hide forever.

I have to learn gradually....

From now on.

Sorry Koushi , Shiho , Nishina, Mom...

And Volleyball club.

I can't let all of you drag yourselves inside.

Koushi stopped chuckling when he realized me , changing back to my gloomy and silent self.

"What's wrong again?????"

I smiled.

Seriously , I'm getting better at lying.

"Nah , just pondering.. where did that Oikawa guy know my name and libero thing," I put my hand on my chin , caressing it slowly while my mind spinned around , searching for answers.

He did the same, scrunching his nose in confusion.

"How many people knew?" He asked.

"Shiho , Nishina , You , Mom.Just four of you," I raised an eyebrow."Ah! I think Hinata and Kageyama too , they asked a few days ago, right?"

"Yeah.But None of us knew Oikawa.Except Kageyama , but he has a bad relationship with the Oikawa guy.And Kageyama has no good thing resulted from that," Koushi hummed while furrowing his brows and shutting his eyes tightly , as if digging the whole information in his head.

You dont need to think that extreme...You're almost just like Shiho .....

SHIHO.

"SHIHO!" I unpurposely screamed right on his ear , making him shriek before lying stiff like a corpse on the bed.

"........sorry,"

"Dont.Do. That.Again."

"Geez..ok , boomer,"

Koushi has a blank face on ,staring at me.

"Wha-"
"Hey , do you think Shiho told that Oikawa guy? Because they are in the same school.Though I'm not really sure how.Are they friends?" I asked quickly, interupting his sentences before he could scold me about the boomer stuff.

Koushi shook his head.

"He never told me,"

I sighed as I stood up.

"I'll wash the guy's tracksuit.I'll invite Nishiho here tomorrow,"

Koushi nodded.

"Yeah , you're right.Today's match is incredibly tiring!!" He whispered as he lay down quickly on the bed , enjoying the warmth.

"Yeah , sure," I chuckled , before picking up the tracksuit and bring them to the laundry room near the backyard.

Oikawa , the captain of Seijoh VBC.

I have a bad feeling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back to now..

"What? Someone THREATENED you?!"

Chips flew all over the bed from the girl's puffy mouth , while I freaked out.

"Nishina...! This is my bed," I mumbled, swatting the chips on the bed , and standing up to grab the vacuum cleaner.

"WHA-WHO?!" Shiho somehow heard and pulled his ear pods off , eyes wide.

"[F/N] SAID SHE'S BEING BULLIED!!!!!!" Nishina screamed , but as fast as lightning I threw the nearest book to her , resulting the book to land flat on her face with a loud "SPLAT" and unconcious Nishina.

"IM NOT BULLIED! I WAS JUST THREATHENED!"

And just right after that happened , I realized.

"Ah..."

"Jisho o nagemashita,"*

Shiho , who's as shocked as I am suddenly laughed his ass off while staring at the 7cm thick book that slowly slides down her face.

Her body fell down to the bed from the sitting stance , while Shiho's laugh became louder.

"S-Shiho! Help me!" I stammered , biting my nails.

Trying to suppress his laughter, Shiho grabbed his sweater real tight.

"It's okay , [F/n]," Shiho wiped the tear on his eyes."She needs some muffling once in a while,"

"Though i dont expect you to 'muffle' her for longer time,"

He continued to laugh , while I felt soul leave my body.

"I dont intend to do that...."

I plopped down in the bed desperately , realizing that now I can talk to Shiho in private.

Thank yo-- i mean sorry ,Nishina.

"Hey , Shiho,"

He stiffled his laugh.

"What?"

I inhaled quietly, encouraging myself.

This is it.

"Do you know Oikawa? A guy in your school?"

He stopped his laugh entirely , glancing at me with a sweat rolling down his cheek.

That's not a good sign.

"He's , my classmate.We sit nearby.Why? What's with him? Did he do anything?" His tone has gotten more panicked , while he leaned closer.

"Uh...not really.He actually helped me," I fidgeted my fingers , looking somewhere else."I had a small water accident in the restroom , and he lent me his tracksuit,"

"Oh,"

The only thing left his mouth.

"Hey , Shiho..." I called him again.

"Yeah?"

"Have you ever tell him about me?"

Shiho stared at me , before breaking into a sneaky grin.

"If you want me to introduce you to him , you should have told me straightforwardly before," he chuckled."Finally , [F/n] got a little crush-"

"NO NO , SHIHO , THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT..!" I flailed my arms all around the place , trying to deny what he said.

That's not what I mean!!

"Eh? Then?" Shiho still had his sneaky grin on , giving me a chance to explain.

"He... knew my name...and he even knew my volleyball position out of the blue..So i wondered if you're good friends with him..." I explained , while his eyes widen and his sneaky grin fades away.

"...And if you told him anything about my eyes.."

~~●●●●●~~●●●●●~~

"Ugh...I hate vectors..." Koushi let out incoherent noise as he melted on his studying table, laziness all over him.

His physic books are sprawled over his table , while highlighters were scattered with no caps on under the table(?).

He blew some strands of hair on his forehead before hearing a loud thud that perked his ears.

"Hm? I wonder...have she asked Shiho..?" Koushi whispered to himself , while he stretched his arms.

"My , my , how do these highlighters got down there?"

Suddenly , another loud door opening was heard , and footsteps going downstairs made him raise an eyebrow.

"They all went downstairs..? Are they going somewhere?" Koushi hurriedly cleaned his books and stationeries, before going out of his room , immediately spotting his twin sister , walking upstairs , showing up in his sight.

"They went home already?" Koushi chuckled.

But [F/n]'s pale face made him drop his laugh immediately.

"[F/n] , what ha--"

[F/n] body dropped to the carpeted floor , while her hands were glued to the wall , slightly trembling.

Her eyes were staring at the floor , and tears started to flow down her cheeks.

"[F/n]!! What happened ?!" Koushi ran and put his hand on her cheeks , trying to wake her up from her anxious self.

[F/n] sobs slightly , before muttering audibly to her twin.

"That....Oikawa guy....knew all about me...."

Koushi raised an eyebrow.

Why is she so depressed?

"Even...about my eyes.."

The sentence made the male's heart skipped a beat , while rage started to build inside him.

"Who.....is it Shiho?" Koushi predicted , and impatiently tapped his foot on the floor when [F/n] shook her head.

"No.Oikawa found out himself.."

Sobs filled the entire corridor , while Koushi bit his lip.

"It's okay , he might not be a bad guy," he calmed his twin, though he knows how sneaky that guy looked."He's just an ordinary guy , why are you so scared?"

"...he has a lot of fangirls,"

Koushi widened his eyes before looking at his twin in pity and guiltiness.

He remembered the moment he found out that his twin was bullied because of his popularity , for one of the reasons.

He knew , how troublesome for his twin to face a popular guy.

What's more , who knew about her secret.

But he knew, that [F/n]'s in her anxious self right now.

If she rests , she'll get calmer.

"I see," Koushi finally replied.

"But there's nothing happening if you cry.Cry won't solve your problems.You better sleep now.You woke extremely early today," Koushi pulled her arms and supported her , before plopping her down in her bed.

She's too thin and light.....and her legs easily gave up.

Koushi stared at his twin's sleeping form in guiltiness , before sitting down next to the bed.

"She hid something,"

" I knew it."

~~~●●●●●~~~●●●●●~~~

Nishina's POV

"Eeehh....That book was very heavy and hard! No wonder I fainted!" I pouted , while Shiho chuckled a bit before sighing for the 30th time today.

I stared at him before studying his face.

"Hm.....you're sleepy aren't you," I cheekily smiled."You looked so stressed today , HAHA!!!"

Shiho showed a smile , before looking down with a sad smile.

"Yeah,"

I chuckled , before enjoying the view.

However, I dropped my smile immediately as I turned my head to the side , looking at the river view.

I knew exactly what happened.

5 minutes ago:

"[F/N] SAID SHE'S BEING BULLIED!!!" I screamed , while something hit my face.

Hard.

I froze and pretended to faint , plopping down the bed.

Hehe, thank god I'm strong.Common people would have fainted!

I'll wait until someone checked my face ,and then I'll scare em out!!

I internally evil laughed, while listening to their conversation.

Geez , Shiho , you damn meanie.

Why are you just laughing!!

"Hey Shiho," [F/n]'s voice spoke.

"What?"

"Do you know Oikawa? A guy in your school?"

Oikawa? The guy Shiho mentioned something??

I recalled the moment he frantically said that "[F/n] shouldn't meet Oikawa".

The tension rises immediately , while Shiho stammered.

"He's my classmate.We sit nearby.Why? What's with him? Did he do anything?"

"Uh...not really.He actually helped me,"[F/n] explained.She also told him that she had a small water accident yesterday and the Oikawa guy lent his tracksuit to her.

Silence took over the room again , and [F/n] called him again.

"Have you ever tell him about me?"

Eh? What kind of question is that?

Suddenly , the tension dropped and Shiho laughed.

He said something about having a crush or something.

[F/n] has a crush?!?!?!?

"NO NO , SHIHO , THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT..!" [F/n] corrected.But instead of sounding so flustered , she sounds so stressed.

"Eh? Then?"

"He...knew my name...and he even knew my volleyball position out of the blue..So I wondered if you're good friends with him..."

"And if you told him anything about my eyes."

THUMP.

What? Someone found out except the two of us?

Shiho stayed silent.

"I......I'm sorry," shiho let out a squeak.

Please dont tell me he--

"He..hacked my phone , and saw that selfie of us...and you , without your soft lenses,"

Ths room's tension has reached the maximum , and I gulped.

This is some serious matters..

"...please tell me about this Oikawa guy," [F/n] muttered , as if she's going to break into sobs soon.

"He's a womanizer , a volleyball team captain , a narcissistic, and he always wants to join other people's business.." Shiho muttered."He has a childhood friend always by his side and correcting his acts , and...uh..."

Shiho struggled to continued , and then , he muttered more inaudible.

"..he's popular with girls.."

I can feel [F/n] flinch through the vibration on the bed, and Shiho seemed to get the clue.

"I'm sorry for not being alert.I'll talk to him as soon as possible.Sorry.....for this.I'll go home," Shiho sounded guilty , and before I could think of anything , a slap landed on my cheek.

I stayed silent , before opening my eyes little by little , just like a real fainted person.

"H-huh? Where.....?" I pretended to be dizzy and all, an I glanced at [F/n] , who's going cry anytime soon.

"We're going home now," Shiho said clearly.

"Oh? Did I miss the whole game thingy??!!! You all played without me?! Damn!!! But alright , I have things to do too!! Thank you for having us today , [F/n]!!" I chirped , trying to fix the mood.

[F/n] showed a smile , and lead us to downstairs.

"No problem,"

Shiho and [F/n] looked awkward.

All the way until outside the door.

"Take care , [F/n]!!!" I waved , before she closes the door.

Back to now.....

"Nishina?"

"Hm?" I turned back to him.

"Let's go eat yakisoba,"

"You're in a bad mood , eeeh???"

"Shut up or you're paying your portion yourself,"

"Wait you intended to pay mine?"

"So will you shut up?"

"YEET , YEZZ."
