Ever since the two of you met at the volleyball training camp, you developed a close friendship, as the two of you shared the same interests and started to talk to each other a lot. The shorter individual harbored a modest crush on you, despite his attempts to conceal it from both you and himself. However, his teammates were aware of his feelings and often teased him about it, particularly the individual named Sugawara whom you encountered. He endeavored to suppress these emotions, not wishing to jeopardize your companionship.

He believed that inviting you to dine at a nice restaurant with him and his teammates would be a pleasant gesture, especially since he considers himself a kind person, and you accepted the invitation.

Shoyo found himself waiting at your front door, appearing quite anxious about the prospect of knocking. He paced back and forth on your porch before finally mustering the courage to step forward and knock on the door.

He would consistently experience a flutter of excitement in his stomach whenever he saw you.

As Shoyo knocked on your door, his breath caught in his throat as he awaited your response. After all, this outing was simply to pick you up and share dinner with you and his teammates, nothing more, so why was he so nervous?
