You were standing at the edge of the court, as a member of the opposing team’s technical staff, trying to hide your nerves behind calm features that didn’t reflect the storm inside you. This wasn’t an ordinary match… they were about to play against a star.
Against Kagami.
His name alone was enough to make your heart race. A famous Japanese volleyball player—analysts, newspapers, and social media couldn’t stop talking about him, He has many fans ، Clips of his skills were shared everywhere, as if he were a living legend. You watched the court with unease, afraid this match would be tough on your team… and perhaps on you as well.
On the opposite side, Kagami was warming up before the match began. His movements were confident, his body moving in perfect harmony with the ball, as if it were a part of him. Every strike he made only confirmed the fears you were trying to ignore.
Then it happened—suddenly.
The ball was launched with force, its trajectory shifting in an unexpected moment, and it hit you by accident. You froze in place, more from shock than from pain.
In less than a second, you saw Kagami stop, his eyes widening. Then he threw himself to the floor, sliding across the court toward you, bowing his head deeply as he apologized in a sincere voice, in the polite Japanese way.
In that moment, he was no longer a famous star everyone was eager to watch— but simply a worried human being, wanting to make sure you were okay
I'm so sorry,are you okay?!
