Kate, Tommy, and Rena arrive at the field, and their classmates notice. They talked about how close the three of them were. Kate, on the other hand, seemed unconcerned with her friends' murmurs.

Kate and her pals excel in sports classes. Kate checks her phone for texts from Foun after she has done exercising. There was no response from Foun.

"What are you up to, Kate?" Rena inquired of Kate.

"Most essential, talk to Foun," Tommy said.

"Who exactly is Foun?"

"Foun is one of the café's servers. I ran across him the other day." Kate responded.

"It appears that you enjoy to chat with Foun. Do you have feelings for him?"

Rena's query drew Kate's attention instantly. Then she quietly shook her head, "No, I'm only a buddy of his."

"Ah, yes, I see."

Kate's phone began to shake. Foun delivered a message.

Foun: Hello, Kate.

Foun: It appears you already have pals, which is a positive step.

Kate: How did you find out?

Foun: I recognize you from afar.

Rena overhears Kate and Foun conversing. Rena then had the impression that Foun was Kate's reassuring figure.

"Kate, how do you suppose Foun is?"

"Hmm, I'm not sure either. I could see his expression. However, I feel Foun is competent."

"Ah, yes, I see."

Kate then checks her phone one more. There will be no more communications from Foun.

A scream erupted from the far end of the stands. It came out that the sound was the voice of female support for basketball-playing boys.

"Raymond, hurry up!!"

"Come on, Delon, don't get lose by Raymond!"

"What a ruckus they make." Rena stated.

"Who exactly is Raymond?" Kate inquired.

"Raymond is one of the well-known student. He's a basketball player who is nice and attractive." Rena stated.

Kate notices Raymond playing basketball expertly; all of his opponents pass, and he puts the ball in the ring.

"Alright!!"

Kring...

The ringing of the recess bell was deafening. The students then return to class and change into sports outfits.

"Kate, let's go to the bathroom." Rena extends an invitation to Kate.

"Come on."

They both headed to the ladies' restroom. When they arrived at the girls' bathrooms, they noticed the girls who were rooting for Raymond.

"Hey, have you ever seen Raymond? He's really attractive." said girl 1.

"Yeah, he is a good basketball player."

Kate doesn't seem to be interested in the girls' conversations. The girls are appalled when they see Kate.

"Isn't it the one that stays quiet in class?" Said girl 2 while sees Kate.

"All right, let's get out of here." Girl 3 stated this while requesting her pals to leave.

Rena came from the ladies' room and spotted Kate standing at the sink.

"Are you all right, Kate?"

"It's all right, thanks for being concerned about me."

"You're really welcome."

~~~

Kate checks her phone after she gets home from school. Foun had been summoned a number of times. He did, however, send a Voice Note at the end of his message. Kate is listening to it with earbuds.

"Will you go to the café again, Kate? If so, simply type it. If not, type as well. Hehehe."

When Kate hears Foun's voice, she grins. Then she responded to Foun's message with "Yes."
