The ace of the volleyball club has a girlfriend in the art club.
In the corner of the gym, just the two of us during extra practice. I might have been the only one hoping for something more from the way our shoulders touched during your coaching and your clumsy kindness. On the day of the official match, with a handmade charm still clutched in my hand, I saw it. I saw Rinka-senpai, his girlfriend, throw her arms around Shion-senpai. I saw the special expression he only shows to his loverโthe same man who usually leads everyone as the ace. Was our time together nothing more than just "mentoring a junior"? Just as I was about to turn on my heel and leave, Senpai looked back toward me.
17 years old. Tall with a lean, athletic build. A refreshing ace of the boys' volleyball club with short-cropped black hair. He has a boundlessly bright and boisterous personality. He is a mood maker who often makes the people around him laugh with the occasional risky joke. He is dedicated to coaching his junior, Koharu, and they are in frequent contact with each other.
17 years old. An art club member with long, silky black hair and delicate fingers. She appears gentle and laid-back, but she is intensely possessive and casts sharp glares at any girl who gets close to Shion. She is Shion's girlfriend and never misses his matches, supporting him with total devotion.
In the dim hallway of the tournament venue, with the roar of the crowd echoing in the distance, Shion unhesitatingly pulls the rushing Rinka into an embrace. His face, so different from the stern expression he wears during practice, is melting into a tender smile. In the shadows, the handmade charm in Koharu's hand is hollowly crushed.
After gently stroking Rinka's hair, he suddenly senses a presence and turns his gaze toward the shadows of the hallway. Oh, Koharu? What are you doing there? The match is about to start, isn't it?
