Chapter -010-

Eita, who had just invited Yuki to enter the basketball club meeting room, immediately offered what kind of drink Yuki wanted at this time. Because honestly right now he was feeling a little nervous about meeting Yuki again, after two years he graduated from a junior high school for athletes and they didn't see each other again until before this day happened.

"What do you want to drink Yuki-kun? Do you still like orange juice like you used to?" Eita asked while chuckling walking towards the mini fridge in the corner of the basketball club meeting room.

Yuki, who had been watching Eita's movements for a while, cleared his throat for a moment.

"Yeah, I still like that drink senpai." Yuki replied which Eita replied with a nod of his head.

"Thankfully, it just so happens that one of my trusted members here also has the same favorite drink as you." Eita said casually, walking over to the meeting table after taking a bottle of orange juice and a bottle of ionized drink.

Yuki only responded to Eita's words with a low sigh and his eyes were still watching Eita's movements until his senior sat right across from him.

"Eita-senpai, has your right shoulder injury completely healed?" Yuki asked who almost made Eita choke on his ionic drink.

"Ah, Yuki-kun. You really have remained unchanged from the past, always asking suddenly and without further ado." Eita said while chuckling trying to reduce the feeling of surprise he was currently feeling.

Yuki just chose to remain silent hearing Eita's words. Meanwhile, Eita, who saw Yuki did not respond to his words, immediately sighed in resignation and lowered his hand to hold his right shoulder.

"Recovered? Not completely. Luckily I can still use this arm to play basketball until now. If it doesn't get hit hard enough, then there won't be any problems in the future." Eita said answering Yuki's question.

A low moan escaped Yuki's lips. "Hmm, if your shoulder is hit hard just once, then you will be faced with a choice that you and all basketball players absolutely hate."

Eita chuckled awkwardly hearing those words and also saw the facial expression on Yuki's face when he said words that contained the truth. The truth that he will face one day in the basketball arena.

"You yourself, how about your current state, Yuki-kun?" Eita asked back to Yuki.

Yuki who was asked the question back by Eita just shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

"As senpai can see right now. I'm fine."

An amused smile appeared on Eita's face and he immediately chose to tease Yuki.

"If you're doing well, why did you choose to retire and not choose to enroll as a member of the basketball club hum?"

Yuki raised an eyebrow then chose to look her eyes in another direction while answering the question that Eita gave her.

"I'm just feeling bored with basketball and want to find experience in other activity clubs."

Eita, who saw Yuki give an answer without looking at himself, smiled amusedly.

"Is it true that you're feeling bored? Then what activities are currently attracting your attention eh?"

Yuki chose to close her eyes while taking a deep breath and turned her gaze back to Eita.

"Yes and I'm currently interested in deepening my skills in cooking. That's why I chose to sign up for the cooking activity club."

Eita who heard Yuki's answer couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, not to mention he saw the expression on Yuki's face right now. Yuki's expression of embarrassment was as hard as possible to keep it flat.

"Hahahahaa, gosh. You're really going to be the suspect in my murder, because you can always make me laugh out loud like this with your attitude Yuki-kun." Eita complained while holding his stomach and holding out his index finger to wipe the pool of tears in the corner of his eyes.

Meanwhile, Yuki who saw Eita laughing so freely in front of him at this time only kept a flat expression. Because he can already guess what reaction will be shown by the people around him regarding the options he chooses at this time.

"Senpai, stop laughing. I came here because I have something important to discuss with you." Yuki said in a slightly curt tone looking at Eita who was still laughing, there was no sign that his senior would stop laughing.

Hearing Yuki's curt words didn't make Eita immediately stop laughing, but Eita laughed even more. Even now Eita reached out his hand to hit the surface of the meeting table.

Brack.. Brak.. Brak..

Yuki who saw Eita's behavior chose to remain silent in his place, staring at his senior with a flat gaze while doing calculations in his heart, like what he and the washida club members usually do when waiting for Eita who is laughing out loud to stop.

'One two three four five.' Yuki counted inwardly with his gaze still on Eita.

Yuki could see Eita slightly lowering his laughter.

'Six seven eight nine ten.' Yuki continued who was still counting in his heart.

Now Yuki can see that Eita has been able to slightly stabilize his ragged breathing after laughing out loud earlier.

'Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen.'

"Haaahh… I haven't laughed out loud like this in a long time." Eita complained who had completely stopped laughing and his breath was no longer as rushed as before.

"Fine, the time it took for senpai to stop laughing is still the same for fifteen seconds." Yuki said in a calm tone and was responded with a long sigh by Eita.

"Sorry, sorry. I just couldn't help thinking that from the many club activities other than sports at this school, you'd prefer to register as a member of the cooking club." Eita said while waving his hand.

"Although I admit, indeed among all of us members of the Washida Club, you are the only one who can cook food with a more human taste. Even the female Ai-chan is inferior to your skills." Eita continued who was responded with an annoyed snort by Yuki.

"Senpai..." Yuki called by pressing her dialing tone.

Eita who heard Yuki had emphasized the tone of his voice immediately closed his eyes and then again waved one hand.

"Alright, I'll listen to what you want to talk to me about Yu-kun."

Yuki breathed a sigh of relief when he saw our Eita was completely focused on him and he immediately said what he wanted to say to Yuki about the rumors circulating about him and the Kitsunema club, Natsu's high school basketball club.
