After the club activity, Shoyo and Tobio stay a little longer to practice blocking more. Hitoka also stayed there to help to throw the balls. After a couple of blocking and switching, Shoyo remembered something and came to Hitoka.

"Your bucket list... You wanna try playing volleyball right?" He asked while holding the ball.

"Yeah, are we going to do it now?" Hitoka replied.

"Sure! I'll teach you!" Shoyo grabbed Hitoka's hand and pulls her to the court.

"What's this? Is she going to try playing?"

Shoyo nodded. And he taught Hitoka the position to receive. "That's good, just bend your knees more and the hand position..." Shoyo got out from his receiving position and went to fix Hitoka's hands. He touched her hands a lot which is making Hitoka felt awkward.

He continues to teach her the receiving position. Before receiving and after receiving. He thinks Hitoka is a fast learner. Shoyo gave a signal to Tobio to serve the ball.

It doesn't go straight to Hitoka, it went to her left. Because of her experiences seeing Noya and others' receives, she moved her left foot further to the left and bend it as she receives the ball.

"Hitoka that was epic!! I didn't even teach you that!!" Shoyo was really amazed after what he just saw and came closer to her.

"Thanks, I always see you guys receive in matches so I tried it out!" Hitoka runs to grab the ball which is not that far.

They continue to learn to serve, blocking, and spiking. Hitoka learned them all in a day because of her experiences watching the boys play volleyball. It's making her forget about her cirrhosis of the liver. She feels nothing but a little pain in the arms but that will recover. But then she remembered it back when she went to get a drink from her bag that's filled with antiviral drugs. She went back to the court and reminds herself every time to be more careful.

"Great, you've learned them all! Let's try a little match, shall we? I'll be on your side!" said Shoyo as he runs to the gym door and searches for someone to be on Tobio's side in the match. He saw his captain Chikara just sitting there talking with Noya. Shoyo immediately invites him.

"Yachi-san is trying out volleyball and you want me to be in a match against her? Well sure!" Chikara nodded and followed Shoyo to the gym.

Everyone's in their place and is ready to begin the match. But suddenly at the wrong time, Hitoka's head felt pain and dizzy. Tobio gave serve and is heading to her, but she didn't receive it. She placed her hands on her head, the pain and dizziness are going worse. "Hitoka, what's wrong?" Shoyo, Tobio, and Chikara run to Hitoka straight away.

Tobio touches her forehead to see if she's sick. "She's hot, I think she got a fever."

"Let's bring her home, it's better that way," Chikara advised. Everyone nodded, then Shoyo carries her in his back, or people call it piggyback ride. Chikara helped by bringing their bags, and Tobio went home.

They ride the bus to Hitoka's house. Chikara left the bags in the seat and waved to them as he goes home. The bus rolls its wheels and moved forward. Meanwhile, Hitoka's holding her tears but she couldn't control her breath. Shoyo heard the uncontrolled breathing and wrapped his arms around her head to make her feel better.

"It's painful isn't it?" Shoyo whispers, wrapping his arms tighter.

"It's really painful... I'm sorry I couldn't continue," said Hitoka, placing her arms on Shoyo's back.

"But you did your one on your bucket list, right?" Shoyo replies. Hitoka releases all her tears in his chest. Her hot breathing makes Shoyo's body felt warm.

They made it to Hitoka's house. It's empty as usual, her mom is working out of town for several days. Shoyo carries the bags and Hitoka in his back again and puts her in her bed. He asked Hitoka which fever medicine to use and the location so he can feed her.

Shoyo founds the fever medicine in the refrigerator, then he came back to Hitoka's room and sits in her bed, and feeds her the fever medicine. Hitoka held Shoyo's hand when he's proceeding to close the medicine bottle. Shoyo wants to return to fever medicine back to the kitchen, but Hitoka wouldn't let go of him. She wants him to stay with her.

"Stay with me..." Hitoka begged with a small and weak voice.

Shoyo turns back and faced her. "I'll be back as soon as I return this, Hitoka.". Hitoka slowly lets go of his hand and lets him return it. Shoyo gets out of the room and walks to the kitchen to put the fever medicine back in the refrigerator. Then he walks back to Hitoka's room.

He gave his hand to her so she can hold it like earlier. And sit right next to her in her bed. He will stay with her until she fell asleep. "Shoyo..." she called.

"Yes?" and then he answered with a calm voice.

"I'm really glad you accidentally knew about my disease." Hitoka pulled his hands closer to her like she was hugging it.

"I'm really glad too, Hitoka," he replied as he clears up her blonde hair that's covering her adorable face.

It's 16:49 PM. Shoyo keeps waiting for Hitoka to fall asleep. Hitoka's eyes are slowly feeling heavy and heavier. She knew that he's waiting for her to sleep so she closed her eyes, relaxed everything, and sleeps so he could go home. She releases his hand that she's hugging as a sign that she has fallen asleep.

Shoyo slowly pulls his hand from her opened hands and stood up to go home. He grabs his bag at the front door, exits the house, and waits for a bus to come and pick him up.

The rain clouds slowly cover the sun from shining to the earth, making it darker and colder than before. Minutes have passed, and the clouds finally dropped the water they kept inside. Slowly, every water in the cloud known as a raindrop fell together and makes a heavy rain. And at the same time, at 16:58, the bus came to pick Shoyo up and takes him to the closest bus stop near his house.
