The New Recruit

"Wait here a second," Kai said, cutting their conversation short.

The boys were disappointed since their Doraemon talk was halted. They followed Kai's movement, where he then settled in front of the garbage bin. 

Kai was hidden by one of the food racks, but he could clearly see Potato Boy from the other side of the store. 

Kai observed his form as he raised his hands above his head with the crumpled chip bag in his grip. 

A small smirk appeared on his face when he realized that his form was quite good—one that would come from someone who had played basketball before. 

"I was right," Kai muttered. 

Then, Potato Boy threw the ball high into the air, creating a beautiful arc toward the garbage bin. 

Although the plastic's movement was fast, Kai intercepted it quickly and went in front of the garbage bin, catching the plastic as if he were blocking a real basketball.
