"There is no point in holding back anymore. Holding back will only widen this gap even more...and I don't want that" Ayame thought as she ran to the direction the freckled teen went to.

It actually hurts to be distant with the person she loves and trusted the most. Loving and be in a relationship is completely alien to her, so it really shocked her that having a fight with him really hurts. It even hurts that she can't face him properly and be awkward with him. She didn't know what to respond to what the freckled teen was feeling yesterday when she was only thinking that she didn't want them, especially him, to worry for her. That's why she didn't tell him about the player hitting on her because of that.

She didn't realize that she was being selfish, and she now realized her mistake. Yamaguchi naturally cares for her and he just wanted to help her. It's not like she had to tell him every single thing that happened to her. What he just wanted was for her to tell him about things like some random guy hitting up on you persistently and other things, such as her health and what she's feeling.

Oikawa already gave her a push, and it's up to her to settle it with her boyfriend.

She paused when she heard his voice in a corner.

"I'm sorry for wasting my chance!"

She hid behind a wall and listened to their conversation. She already knew that the person he is speaking to is their coach because the sign points to the smoking area, where the man usually smokes in his free time.

""How effectively you serve will determine if you can win or not." I heard your direction during the Fukurodani match and understood it...and I understood my role" he started "And then I thought I wanted to be able to fight, too. But... I ran away at the last minute"

He added in a more determined tone "Please. Give me one more chance"

"No more running away" he thought "I have to face it. I have to face my fears and bravely take the risks. So then, I can also be someone confident enough to be a better player...and to be a better boyfriend to Ayame"

Coach Ukai pressed the cigarette to the bin to put out its light and threw it down "You know, Yamaguchi, I'll still give you a chance to prove yourself and do your role even if you didn't come to me. However, giving you another chance when you don't even believe in yourself is a waste"

He blinked and nodded "Hai. I know"

"The problem is that, you don't believe in your own strength much when the real game is happening" he told him "You have to believe in yourself just as much as Ayame believes in you. This is just based from my observation but, Ayame can bring out your true strength, and if you also believed in yourself"

The freckled teen looked down and recalled the look in Ayame's violet eyes. He always knew that she deeply believed in his strength and she had helped him drew it out from him. Yet, he still hasn't fully believed in his self.

"It's okay if you're feeling a little scared, but don't hesitate in doing your best in your serve" the man told him "No one holds back a winning serve, eh?"

"Hai" he made a fist and looked at the man with determination "I'll do my best. Ayame believed in me. I don't want to put it to waste anymore. Thank you very much, Ukai-san!"
