You sighed softly while waiting for Izumi and Rizumu at the bleachers in the school ground, your last class was cancelled due to your professor's sudden absence. You checked your phone to see if there were any messages or something but nothing was shown, only the reminder of your departure tomorrow. You turned your phone off and looked at the paper bag beside you, the album and the letter was inside it.
' What if he really disagrees? ' you thought
"I'm sure he won't, right? Like this is my dream, I'm sure he'll understand" you mumbled to yourself
"Oi (l/n), you alright? What's with the mumbling?"
You raised your head and saw Akaashi staring at you with a confused look. Akaashi coincidentally went to the same university with you so seeing him wouldn't be a surprise.
"Oh hey Akaashi, what brings you here?" You smiled
Akaashi settled his bag down and sat beside you before leaning back.
"I was just walking around until I saw you all alone. Waiting for someone?" He asked
"Yeah, I'm waiting for Rizumu and Izumi" you answered
"Oh I see.... So why were you mumbling earlier?" He asked
"Well...hehehe it's nothing serious" you said as you scratched the back of your head
"If you say so....I heard that you're leaving tomorrow" he said
"Yeah....I won't be back for a while" you said with a rather sad tone
"Have a safe trip and enjoy your stay there. Follow your heart and let your passion stay ablaze" he smiled making you smile back
"Thanks, Akaashi" you said
"No probs, I should get going now and also I can see Rizumu coming. See ya soon?" He exclaimed
"See you soon," you smiled
Akaashi got his bag before leaving you alone then a few seconds later, Rizumu came and sat beside you.
"Izumi's still not here?" Rizumu asked
"Nope. Hey Rizumu, do you think Kageyama will let me leave?" You answered
"I don't know....but if he's gonna stop you from leaving then I'll knock his lights out!" She exclaimed making you chuckle
"Well, aren't ya dependable these days?" You chuckled
"But seriously, he should understand your point right now since it's for yourself and for your future. Besides, even us, your best friends can't stop you from that instead of stopping you, we decided to support you because that's what you want to do and that's also for the best for you and for your future" Rizumu smiled making you feel a bit emotional
"I-uhmm t-thank you.....I-I'm not ready to l-leave you guys yet" you sobbed lightly making her pull you into a hug
"Shh...you need to be strong and don't worry we'll keep in touch. Long distance or not, we're still your bestfriends and we will always support you from a far" Rizumu exclaimed
"I'm gonna miss you guys.....so much..."

When the three of you were all gathered up, you immediately took off and went to Karasuno to give Kageyama the album and to also tell him about your departure. While walking through the hallway, you could feel eyes staring all over you since you guys were wearing college students' uniform but decided to just shrugged it off. The number of students were less since it was already 5 in the afternoon, Rizumu wasn't with you at the moment since she went to the comfort room for a sec.
When you reached the door that leads to the gym, you immediately took a deep breath before holding the handle. You were about to open it when some opened from the other side making you step back. You looked at the people who opened the door and to your surprise it was Karasuno's third years
"O-oh (l/n)-san! W-what are you doing here?" Hinata stuttered
"I just stopped by to give something to Kageyama and to also tell him something" you chirped "so is he in the gym?
~~~~~~~~~~~
Kageyama was in the gym with Aimu all alone since Aimu wanted to talk to Kageyama privately. Even if the third years doesn't want to go, they still left the gym as a sign of respect
"What do you want?" Kageyama hissed
"I heard about your plan after graduation, you're gonna be living in Tokyo?" Aimu asked
"And so?" Kageyama answered
"Nothing much. Just take care of yourself" Aimu exclaimed
"Look if you don't need anything else, you can leave now" Kageyama said as he walked towards the door and gestured her to get out
"Alright but one last thing...." Aimu said as she quickly went to Kageyama's place when she noticed you on the other side
"What is i-" he was cut off
~~~~~~
"O-oh yeah, he is" Yamaguchi stuttered
"That's great, is it ok to go inside?" Izumi said
"Sure but I recommend you to not enter now," Tsukishima warned but it was already too late, you already opened the door
You were about to stepped out when you saw something that made you heart shatter into a million pieces all over again. You could clearly see them, doing the thing that you hated the most.
You immediately shut the door and immediately marched towards the wall then punched it hard making your hand twitched in pain and bleed. Izumi and Yachi alertly went to your side and aided you, your hand was bleeding due to the impact but you didn't care, you didn't feel anything because right now, the only pain you were feeling was the pain in your chest
"Hey! I'm ba-what happened to (f/n)-chan's hand?!" Rizumu exclaimed and immediately ran towards you
She looked at your hand then to your face which made her eyes widen. She immediately cupped your face and embraced you, she slowly stroke your hair as you silently sobbed on her shoulder.
"Tell me....why are you crying?" Izumi asked softly
"I-I saw something....." You replied between your sobs
"What did you see?" Yachi asked
"I saw K-Kageyama and A-Aimu...... k-kissing......" You said as you pulled away from Rizumu and tried to wipe your tears but it kept on falling
"That's the last straw!" Rizumu exclaimed as she was about to go to the gym
"Rizumu, wait!" You said
"What?!" She shouted making Hinata, Yamaguchi and Yachi flinch
"First, calm down and second, stop. I'll handle this, ok? Just let me do this, I just need to get a hold of my emotions first...." You replied
"Are you sure?" Rizumu asked which you nodded lightly
"Fine. Make sure you can handle it" Rizumu sighed
"Don't worry....you know that I can and will always will......."
"Hey Hitoka-chan, is your classroom vacant at this time?" Rizumu asked
"Yeah why?" Yachi replied
"Can we stay there for a while? I need a place for (f/n) to stay so that she can calm down and think" Rizumu said as she rubbed the bridge of her nose
"Sure. Follow me. Hinata, Yamaguchi and Tsukishima, I think you can go back to the gym now but act normal especially you Hinata" Yachi said as she led you three to her classroom

(A/N play the music here while reading this part slowly. I prefer to read this when the music starts hehehe arigato!)
"So are you fine now?" Izumi asked
"Yes and I think I'm ready to make the decision that I won't regret.....yet" you said as you stood up and picked up the paper bag
"We can see the pain in your eyes, can you still get a hold of hiding them?" Rizumu asked worriedly
"You're talking to someone who've been through a lot but still managed to smile everyday, gurl" You smiled but they knew that it was fake
"Alright but we'll be there to support you, ok?" Rizumu exclaimed which you nodded
After calming down, you, Izumi and Rizumu immediately went to the gym. When you arrived, you immediately opened the door and was greeted immediately by Yachi and Yamaguchi while Kageyama and Hinata was practicing then Tsukishima was just watching you guys
"Sorry for disturbing" you said
"Oh not at all, (l/n)-san" Yamaguchi smiled
"Eh? Where are the others?" Rizumu asked as she went in
"Oh Coach Ukai let them go early. It's just us, third years here" Yachi answered
"Has he told you about something that happened earlier?" Izumi whispered while you just kept a blank expression
"No, he didn't" Yamaguchi whispered back
"Hitoka-chan, can you guys leave the gym for a while? I have something important to discuss with Kageyama" You said
"Sure thing" Yachi said and called Tsukishima and Hinata which they immediately went to her side
"But before you leave, can you guys keep a secret and make sure no one else will know?" You exclaimed
"What is it, (l/n)-san?" Hinata asked
"I'm gonna be leaving the country tomorrow-" you were cut off
"What?!" They exclaimed in unison except for Tsukishima
You took a glance at Kageyama in the background which you sighed in relief since he didn't hear anything. You returned your gaze to the people in front of you and told them to pipe down
"As I was saying, I'm leaving tomorrow and will continue my studies abroad. I won't be back for a couple of years or so and also I'm not gonna tell you guys where I'll be going" you bluntly said
"Alright. We won't tell anyone" Yamaguchi reassured before patting your shoulder and took there leave
You took a deep breath before walking towards Kageyama, the more you walked towards him, the more your heart aches. When Kageyama noticed your coming figure, he immediately smiled making your chest tighten up, he immediately walked towards you and stopped in front of you
"I have news!" He exclaimed
"What is it." You bluntly asked
"A team recruited me! So that means I'll be leaving Miyagi to train with them! Isn't that awesome?" He chirped
"Yeah. It is. Congrats."
"I think it's somewhere near the university you're going....." He said as he tapped his chin
"Oh? That's good."
"You'll visit me right?" He asked smiling
"No...." You bluntly replied
"Ok then I'll vis-" he was cut off
"Let's take a break. For real this time, no more chances." you said coldly
When Kageyama heard your words, he thought it was a joke but when he saw the look on your face, he already knew. You were serious, you weren't joking around, he knew that this was his last chance so he just can't let you go this time. He almost lost you and he's not gonna let it happen for real. He was already on the verge of crying but he held it in
"Wait.... What?! Why?" He said while trying to fight back the tears
"Goodbye, Kageyama" you said and walked away from him but he was fast enough to grab you by your injured hand
"W-what happened to your hand?" He stuttered
"That's none of your business anymore, we're through so let me go" you bluntly answered
"No! Why are you doing this!" He shouted
"Because.....not all wounds can be physically treated....some can be treated by letting go and moving on...."
