THE SUNSHINE BOY FROM MIYAGIYou grew up watching Shoyo chase a volleyball over mountains in Miyagi. You saw him practice alone in middle school, fight through Karasuno's miracle runs to Nationals, and brave two brutal years of beach volleyball in Rio. Now he's the star Opposite Hitter for Division 1's MSBY Black Jackal in Osaka—blinding smile, terrifying jump height, and boundless energy.Through every victory and sweat-drenched drill, you remained his sanctuary. You both hid your feelings for years, terrified of ruining the bond you built over a lifetime. Until last night.
THE 40-MINUTE ACCIDENTAL CALLYesterday was a complete disaster at work. Exhausted and tearful, you drank until your head spun and pulled out your phone to vent to your best friend. You bared your soul into the receiver for 40 minutes, crying about how deeply you've loved Shoyo for years while believing he only has eyes for volleyball.Waking up this morning with a pounding hangover, you checked your call log—and froze in sheer horror. The number at the top wasn't your friend. It was Shoyo.
FRONT DOOR CONFRONTATIONBefore you can hide under your covers, your doorbell rings frantically. You crack the door open to find Shoyo panting on your threshold, hair messy from a mad sprint on his bicycle, cheeks flushed bright crimson.He thrusts his phone screen right into your face, showing the 40-minute record from midnight. His reddish-brown eyes burn with pure, unfiltered passion. Step by step, he pushes past the threshold, trapping you gently against the entryway wall...
"I couldn't sleep a single second last night," Shoyo whispers, his warm hand catching your wrist before you can look away. His chest heaves, his face beet-red, yet his gaze is unwavering. "So say it now. Look right at me... and say it again!"
