for those of you sad that kageyama and hinata end up on different teams post time skip, i have some good news!!! the japanese national team, which they both end up on, doesn’t just compete at the olympics. the national team competes at an array of different championships, most notably the FIVB Volleyball Nations League, which is held every year. so whatever team they decide to go play for around the world, they still come back to play together every summer (and also some other times sprinkled throughout the year).

MASTERLIST

NEXT CHAPTER

A/N: translation notes will be asterisked! I'm trying to stick to the game's format as close as possible even though I combined paragraphs to help with flow. yn's thoughts are in parenthesis + character dialogue is bolded so it doesn't get lost in the text. translations under the cut.

People's memories are complex and intricate, and most the time lying dormant in the mind. But in life, there are always a few things, moments, and people that remain unforgettable.

At that time, I couldn't imagine what should've been an ordinary day would become a day to be remembered.

YN: (Okay, time to leave!) (I probably didn't forget to bring anything, right?)

I checked myself in the mirror, fixed my bangs, and checked the time on my phone.

(I'll be late if I don't leave now.)

I looked at the photo on the bookshelf. It's a family portrait of my dad, mom, sister, and me.*

"Dad, mom, I'm leaving."

After saying goodbye, I turned around, picked up my bag, and headed for the door—

"Ah, I forgot my sister's present!"

I rushed back to my bedroom to grab the gift bag on my desk and hurried out the door.

(Luckily, I remembered or else I would've had to come back again...)

My older sister is a psychological counselor while I work at a bakery. Due to our busy schedules, we can only see each other once a month.

Today is my sister's birthday. We promised to celebrate her birthday together at her place and eat the cake I baked. Thinking about this, I excitedly hastened my steps.

YN: (I hope she'll like the gift I prepared for her.)

The streets were bustling with people at night. Aside from the vendors, there were also musicians playing guitars. The beautiful melodies made the night so peaceful that even I couldn't help but pause despite almost running late. The more people gathered around the guitarist, the more those who moved swiftly through the crowd stood out.

Among them was a tall man in dark clothing, almost blending into the night, moving through the crowd. He didn't slow down when he passed by. I quickly moved aside when he headed my way, but he was already long gone. He looked like he was in a hurry, but maintained an elegant and calm demeanor that allowed him to smoothly pass through the crowd.

Suddenly, an elderly woman carrying apples in her arms stumbled in front of the hurrying man, her apples scattering on the ground. The man finally stopped. He squatted to pick up the apple that rolled to his foot, slightly wiped it with his sleeve, and handed it back to the woman. He seemed to want to say something, but when he looked toward the back of the crowd, his expression tensed again.

Several men in black marched quickly with an air of malice, causing pedestrians to move out of their way. No longer lingering, the man turned around and walked away, disappearing into the shadows at the end of the street.

Unintentionally witnessing this scene, I couldn't help but look at the direction the man was going. Before I could dwell on it any further, my phone in my bag rang. The caller ID made me sigh in relief.

YN: "Sis!"

Ji Minxuan: "YN, are you here yet?"**

YN: "Not yet. I stopped to watch the street performance. Sorry, I'll hurry over."

I heard my sister's relaxed laughter at the other end of the phone.

Ji Minxuan: "Don't worry, I just got off work. Do you want me to buy you a drink?"

YN: "Okay, you know what I like best."

Ji Minxuan: "Alright, then your usual."

I was fully expecting to share my day with my sister, completely oblivious to anything out of the ordinary.

Ji Minxuan: "If you arrive first, go ahead and go in first and wait for me."

Static noise from the other end of the line suddenly interrupted the call, drowning my sister's voice.

YN: "Can you hear me?"

The static noise kept cutting us off and was uncomfortable to listen. I called her name several times, feeling a sense of uneasiness creeping in my heart. When I could finally hear her again, her tone turned serious.

Ji Minxuan: "YN, if something happens to me..."

YN: "If something happens to you? Why are you suddenly saying this?"

Ji Minxuan: "...I believe you'll know what to do."

On the other side of the city, on an equally bustling street, Ji Minxuan also stood on a street corner. She lowered her hand despite your urgent calls from the other end of the line, but she had no time to spare.

Ji Minxuan: "You don't have to do anything, I'll walk by myself."

Ji Minxuan was suddenly shoved from behind, forcing her to immediately move forward. Her phone slipped from her hand, fell on the ground, and was kicked by passers-by. It still dutifully transmitted electronic signals, but the screen's web-like cracks seemed to indicate that the owner could no longer receive signals.

TRANSLATION NOTES:

*yn's refers to her sister as 姊姊 (older sister). for the sake of translation, I'll be referring to her as "sister" until her first name comes up.

**this is the first appearance of her sister's name (紀旻萱 Ji Minxuan). but I'm not sure if she's yn's biological sister or a close family friend (despite her being in the family pic on yn's desk) so I'll usually refer to her by her name.

DO NOT REPOST TRANSLATIONS. SHOULD THERE BE AN ENGLISH VERSION OF THE GAME, THE GAME TRANSLATION WOULD BE THE ACCURATE VERSION.
