Y/N was awaken by the sound of alarm she set on her phone.
Time check: it was 3:15 in the morning. Y/N looked outside to see a lighted city as if it was still the nighttime.
Y/N got up, and prepared her stuffs in a sports bag for practice. Other people would still be drowsy and tired, but it was Y/N; that had been her routine for years.
She then proceeded to the bathroom after fixing her things. Even though it was cold, Y/N withstood not getting a hot shower. She would likely catch a cold otherwise.
Subsequent to bathing, she wore a sweatshirt and leggings as her practice outfit. Next, Y/N put on a jacket and a scarf. Lastly, she grabbed her sneakers and had it on too.
Y/N being all ready, got out of her room. It was peaceful in the alley; she thought no one would be up that time of the day. She walked until the elevator, and found out that she was actually wrong. Standing there was Atsumu again, waiting for the elevator to arrive at the fifth floor.
"Ohayou, Takihara-san!" Atsumu immediately greeted Y/N the moment he saw her.
The girl looked away. "Y/N is fine, I'm not comfortable with honorifics anymore." She stood beside Atsumu. 'Why do I always bump with this guy in the elevator?' Y/N mentally asked.
The elevator was still in the 12th floor; they would have to wait a little bit more.
'Goodness, first name basis right away?' Atsumu on the other hand, thought, losing his cool, but he shrugged it off. "Call me Tsumu, then."
Y/N smirked at the guy's response. She then thought of an idea to get back at him for what he did last night.
"No problem," she replied and winked at Atsumu. The guy, who was staring at her, turned red. Inside Y/N, she was enjoying her victory.
Y/N noticed that Atsumu was wearing casual winter clothes and did not seem like he would be out to train. "Well then... Tsumu, where are you going this early?" She asked, not being able to hide her smile.
Still could not move on about the wink, Atsumu's eyes widened a bit and remained blushing, he was taken aback by the fact that she really called him 'Tsumu'. Suddenly, Sakusa's words echoed in his head. 'You look so idiotic in your fan mode.' Atsumu cleared his throat, getting back to his normal self, and answered. "My twin's store is having a branch opening today. I'll help him with the preparation." He looked at the girl. "How about ya?"
"Well you see, I have to condition myself consistently, so self-training," Y/N simply replied.
Atsumu just nodded.
The elevator finally reached the fifth floor, so the two got in.
Suddenly, Y/N remembered that reporters would flood the hotel later, so she warned Atsumu. "If I were you, I'd be back before 8 a.m., you see a lot of athletes will arrive today. The media will be here as well and they're annoying as hell."
"Hai, hai. I also did take note of that. I hate them, they'd always ask if I'm dating Sakusa Kiyoomi." Atsumu chuckled.
Y/N slapped Atsumu's shoulder, and laughed. The guy was quite surprised with her action, but was relieved as he felt that the girl was actually comfortable with him.
"Really? They're funny sometimes! In my case, they always asked if I'm dating Yuzu, and I like teasing them so I never answered. Now, a lot of people think we're together."
Atsumu chuckled. "That's hilarious."
"I know right," Y/N responded while shaking her head.
The elevator reached the ground floor.
"Na~ Y/N, by any chance... uh... wanna grab dinner with me tomorrow?" Atsumu asked without maintaining eye contact and while scratching the back of his neck.
"Oh... I mean yeah... sure! Why not?"
Atsumu smiled brightly at Y/N, making her smile back. He started walking already, but backwards, still looking at the girl. "I'll message ya! Until tomorrow!" He waved at Y/N before finally looking ahead of him. 'Holy crap, I did it!' Atsumu mentally celebrated.
Y/N's phone suddenly rang. When she took it from her pocket, Yuzuru was calling her.
"Moshi moshi?"
"I'm already at the airport!"
"Alright! I'm heading out for practice. Just go here to the hotel and rest. Let's eat when I get back."
"..."
"Yuzu?"
"You're surprisingly in a good mood today Y/N-chan! Did something nice happen?"
"Uhh, shut up! One more Y/N-chan, and I'll ignore you until the Olympics ends."
Yuzuru laughed on the other line. "Gomen, gomen."
"Aight, later then."
Y/N ended the call, and headed her way out too. She called for a taxi again, and asked the driver to bring her to her destination.

Later on, Atsumu had arrived to his twin brother's new branch. It was just near the Olympics venue; Osamu really invested money and effort in finding such a great area.
"Samu! I missed yer onigiris!" Atsumu mockingly cried. He was about to hug his twin brother, but the guy with his natural black hair pushed his face away.
"You pig," Osamu insulted but gave Atsumu some onigiris anyway.
The blonde twin pulled a chair and sat down. "Y'know Shamu *munch* I'm already friends *munch* with Takihara Y/N."
"Haha are you kidding me?" Osamu could not believe his twin and thought that he was just fooling around since Atsumu was a fan of Y/N.
"See for yerself. She follows me on insta," Atsumu replied and stuck his tounge out.
Osamu did so, and almost dropped his jaw upon finding out that his twin was not lying.
"Told ya." Atsumu took a bite of his onigiri again then smirked.

It was only twenty minutes before six; Y/N was practicing her triple axels. She had been working on that for 2 years, and had landed it numerous times when practicing, but she hadn't tried doing it in any competition yet.
All of the female figure skaters who landed a ratified triple axel in Olympics were considered as legends, so Y/N would want her first try to be successful.
She was counting her attempts. Out of 19, she got 14 successes—most of them being the first attempts since every try took up stamina. The success rate being approximately 74 percent, Y/N thought that she could definitely land a triple axel in Olympics. She was about to glide for the last one, when she suddenly paused. Doing quadruple axel crossed her mind. She went back a bit to prepare for a faster speed and wider space.
"Okay, here goes," Y/N uttered to herself. She started skating; when she had already gained speed, she pushed herself to the air and span her body. She managed to have more than the revolutions a triple axel would need, but terribly fell.
Y/N cackled, making fun of herself. "What the heck am I doing?"
Even Yuzuru had an extremely hard time doing the quadruple axel. He could pull it off in practices, but he said that he would not do it just yet in a competition.
