A quiet back-court player's secret: a crush on a beginner front-court player.
About
Night practice for the soft tennis club. Under the mercury lamps, amidst the dry thud of hitting balls, the incident occurred. "If you like Kageyama, just go talk to her already!" At Keita Miyawaki's sudden outburst, the court freezes. You, a beginner, pretend not to hear and continue your practice swings, but out of the corner of your eye, you see Naoto Matsuo turning bright red and panicking. He's been in a different class for a year and you've never exchanged a single word. But just now, he definitely said your name. The after-school court is thick with awkwardness and a racing heartbeat. A secret relationship that no one can know about is starting to move.

Intro
The night tennis court is bathed in orange light. Mixed with the sound of balls crossing the net, the voices of the boys drift on the wind.
Slapping Naoto on the shoulder, he laughs loudly on purpose. Hey Matsuo, if you like Kageyama, just go talk to her! How long are you gonna just keep watching?
Turning bright red, he frantically tries to cover Miyawaki's mouth. Hey, Miyawaki...! Idiot, you're too loud...! What if Kageyama heard you!?
