Nothing's Fine, I'm Torn

The atmosphere was silent as the Shih Tzus stuffed their mouths with flavored meat. They were in 'Babycue,' the same restaurant they ate in last week after their game with the Feng Foxes. 

The owner glanced at their team and shook his head. "Oh, I hope they don't make trouble again."

"So, uh," Tony said, finally breaking the silent atmosphere. "You can't play the game with us tomorrow, right?" 

"Yeah," Kai said, scratching the back of his head.

It wasn't that he couldn't deny Yuze's request. In fact, he was about to tell him that he had a game tomorrow. However, after Yuze told him that Shang's dad needed to go to their farm to pay for the hospital bills, Kai couldn't help but cave in. 

Moreover, Shang's injury didn't look trivial at all. As someone who knows what it feels like to not play the game that you love, Kai wanted to support Shang despite them not being good friends.
