The weekend didn't take long to arrive, and Sunday finally came. Before Siv Siv could go to watch the volleyball match, she had to finish her housework, such as cleaning the house, doing the laundry, weeding the vegetable garden, and watering the plants; only by doing this could she have an excuse to ask to go out. Not long after, Hana arrived just as Siv Siv was finishing watering the plants! Hana looked at her and smiled a bit as if she wanted to help water them too; she greeted the aunt politely and went to help Siv Siv water the crops. She looked so happy. Soon they finished the work and said goodbye to the aunt, who was Siv Siv's mother! She constantly reminded Siv Siv to return quickly once the match was over.
It was a pity that kan couldn't come! The person Siv Siv wanted to watch was Jing, the most famous student in the team. However, when they arrived, Niv was waiting and watching the path for them; but upon not seeing kan, Niv didn't look very happy. Nevertheless, he tried to play well too.
"Jing! Fight! Fight!" The voices of female fans cheered for Jing, and Siv Siv did the same, though she didn't dare to scream loudly, while Hana sat watching everyone. Seeing Siv Siv happy made her happy as well. On the day kan saw Hana walking alone while scrolling through her phone and kan ran to hide near the trash cans, that day Hana had come out for a date with Kim. It was their final date; she felt as if she had no desire to continue anything. Even though he asked for reasons and apologized, Hana simply showed pictures of him being close with other female students as usual; even if it wasn't a strong reason, Hana brought it up because she had no other excuse except being bored and wanting to end the relationship. Regardless, they walked together like a couple for the last time, but it seemed to be only for Kim's sake; as for Hana, she felt indifferent. Coincidentally, that day while they were walking together in a mall, Hana was buying some school supplies and happened to meet Vice President Neaya and the Class President by chance. She then found out that Vice President Neaya had been the Class President's neighbor since they were young, and the Class President's parents treated Neaya like their own niece. The Class President's parents wanted to spend some family time together and coincidentally met Neaya, so they invited her to join. Neaya had come to the mall to buy some school supplies just like Sara; when they met by chance, Neaya froze a bit, but she was smiling in her heart, though she didn't show it. As for the Class President, he was friendly as usual and praised Neaya, saying she would surely get a good rank when the results came out because he saw Neaya studying very hard; furthermore, when he had time, the Class President had helped explain some things to Vice President Neaya as well. That was the praise before the results came out, and when the results were released, it was true! Neaya made it onto the honor list of the top 5, ranking 4th. They ate together; because they had met Neaya before she went to buy her supplies, Neaya asked to leave first. Meanwhile, the Class President raised his hand like he did in class when he was annoyed, saying he just remembered he also needed to buy some things; he told his parents to take his younger sibling ahead while he went to buy school supplies with Neaya, and since their houses were close, he would take Neaya home too! His words made Neaya freeze, but her face remained normal, though in her heart she was thrilled! Mutu's parents did not object. Mutu and Neaya walked around looking at people until they reached the floor with school supplies. When they entered, they went to buy their own things; Mutu went to look for extra pens, while Neaya bought books related to the medical entrance exam. Actually, she already had many, but she just wanted to buy new ones to study even more! Mutu noticed that she seemed to be working very hard; it was good. Similarly, it was normal that the Class President also had those books and had read And do many of them; he recommended some books to Vice President Neaya. Suddenly, his eyes caught a glimpse of someone he thought looked familiar it was Hana. What was strange was that she was choosing items with a boy of the same age! He looked from behind and she seemed familiar; when that boy turned his face, he realized that was Hana's boyfriend, which made his heart go a bit quiet, and he wondered about himself too! Neaya also saw Hana. Suddenly, Mutu walked over with a friendly face to greet Hana and ask what she was looking to buy. Hana was a bit startled, not expecting to meet the two of them; she greeted Vice President Neaya first and then greeted Class President Mutu later. "What do you want to buy?" This was the question the Class President had asked Hana once already, but Neaya asked again, which made Hana focus on answering. She walked near Neaya and praised her, saying Neaya had all good books; she said she wanted to buy a cookbook! Neaya was a bit interested too. Hana didn't hide that she came to buy some doll keychains for kan, Siv Siv, and Mala, and she was also attracted to this book because, living at home alone, she usually bought food from outside or only knew how to fry eggs, boil noodles, and stir-fry a few vegetables; she wanted to know how to cook other dishes too! Even though Neaya didn't say it, Hana knew that Neaya probably didn't know how to cook either, but she didn't say it out loud; she went to hug Neaya's arm and said if there was time, she wanted Neaya to come to her house to help each other cook according to this book and give each other opinions!
"What about Siv Siv and kan?" "They will come if they are free on the day we want to do it!" "We want to do it?" Neaya said softly. At home, Neaya never cooked! It was her mother and younger sister who did it, while she never did! But she declined, saying she had no such free time! Hana's face dropped a bit, as she just wanted Neaya to come and learn to cook together! Suddenly, Neaya changed the atmosphere by asking if the two of them were on a date. Hana nodded, while Kim nodded unhappily because earlier he and Hana had already talked and agreed that after this meeting ended, their relationship would end too, but she hadn't told the Class President or Neaya! There wasn't much else; they met for a bit, spoke a little, and then went their separate ways! Kim asked Hana if he could become her friend. Hana turned her face; her expression was normal, not angry or regretful. She said it wouldn't be bad if they didn't disturb each other! Having said that, she walked away!
"What does that mean?" Kim grumbled to himself, not understanding. Hana then remembered something funny, which suddenly made her smirk and cover her mouth slightly, but her soft mouth still couldn't hide the smile completely; her fish-like eyes closed a bit due to her amused smile as she saw a trash can along the way! She remembered the time she left her house suddenly; even though she was walking with her head down looking at her phone, she had seen kan. But she pretended not to see her and walked along, feeling a bit strange wondering where kan went; actually, she had seen a bit of kan hiding near the trash disposal area. Regardless, she tried to suppress her laughter from seeing kan's actions of dodging and hiding. Not long after reaching the front of the path, Kim arrived on his motorcycle; all her feelings of laughter subsided and she forgot them all while being with Kim. It wasn't that she wasn't happy, and there was no reason for her to be happy either; it was just normal, doing things according to habit. Now, remembering that scene of kan again made her laugh once more. Therefore, turning back to the present, Hana didn't hide it anymore; seeing that it wasn't the right time to tell, she would wait until the match ended and they went out to return home before telling. While she was busy thinking, the sound of Siv Siv's cheering suddenly startled Hana. She looked at Siv Siv in shock; she had never seen Siv Siv scream like this before! She looked so excited because Jing's team had scored!
"Sorry, sorry!" Siv Siv said while laughing, and she didn't have much time to laugh; she held her chest for a bit, then held her shoulders, then squeezed her knees and shook her legs anxiously as if she were a true volleyball fan, understanding the play and fearing they might lose points. When it reached a point of fear or excitement, she could hardly contain herself! Hana was truly amused by Siv Siv! What was even more ironic was that she had two friends who both invited her to watch matches! Kan invited her to watch football even though kan didn't know how to watch it either, just going because San invited her; and Siv Siv invited her to watch volleyball, looking like an expert at watching it!... Hana teased Siv Siv, making her just smile. Soon the match ended; there was some dispute because the judgment wasn't clear, and they gave the point to the other team. It was seen as a tie; they waited to see the next two points to see who would get them! It took a long time to finish. It was truly nerve-wracking; Siv Siv didn't even play, yet she felt exhausted for them. Regardless, she hurried to take water to Jing; some other students gave it to other members, but Siv Siv was not lucky she was shoved aside by the juniors until she was pushed out completely. Hana could only stand and watch, helpless at Siv Siv's competition with the juniors from a distance!
"Why are these kids so good at pushing?" "Senior?" Those juniors recognized her and mocked her, asking if a senior like her actually came to watch because she had an idol. "Who is it?" This made Siv Siv freeze, and she changed the subject, telling them not to forget to study hard and not to be too obsessed with watching matches! Siv Siv told them while forgetting to look at herself. "Seniors are the same; the graduation exam is coming soon, and you still have time to watch the match?" They spoke and laughed, then quickly ran away, leaving Siv Siv very annoyed with them. Later, she adjusted her posture, looking at Jing with regret, and then drank the water herself. Seeing that she probably wasn't satisfied, Hana dragged Siv Siv's hand out!
"Enough, enough! Next time, take it to him!" Hana spoke comfortingly with a smile! They walked and talked about going to eat something first before going home, and also wanting to buy something for her mother at home; whenever Siv Siv went out, when she returned, she always bought something like a drink or various street foods. They were talking and laughing happily when suddenly they went quiet; at first, the expression was puzzled, but Siv Siv wasn't puzzled; she recognized him that was Niv!
"Senior! Why didn't Senior Li kan come?" He looked like he was sweating because he had just competed; he looked a bit tired. Hana looked at the water Siv Siv was holding; she took the water from Siv Siv immediately, making Siv Siv look at her face for a bit, thinking Hana was thirsty and would drink it. In fact, she took it and held it to her chest at first, then gripped the water bottle tightly, fearing someone would take the bottle from her! She did that because last time, Niv had suddenly come and taken the water from kan to drink immediately; therefore, Hana was taking precautions! Niv saw it too, but he didn't say anything just laughed in feel and as he was focused on waiting for an answer! Siv Siv, who was busy smiling earlier, replied that kan was busy at home. "I invited her too, but because she was busy, she didn't come, and I didn't dare to force her!"
"Oh…" Niv hummed for a bit and then said thank you! "Are you thirsty?" Siv Siv suddenly asked without thinking, then used her hand to cover her mouth, realizing she shouldn't have asked that ,that wasn't Jing! Niv laughed, looking at the water bottle Hana was holding tightly and said he wasn't thirsty! Then he thanked her again and left! Hana looked at Siv Siv's face immediately, helpless wasn't she a fan of Jing? Why was she also happy to meet another member as if she had met Jing?
"This happiness isn't like the happiness of meeting Jing! But one should still be happy because he is a member among all the members; even if he doesn't talk much in the team, he plays well and is handsome too, he just doesn't know how to talk and play with other juniors." Speaking up to this point, Siv Siv suddenly exclaimed, making Hana startled again! It made Hana let out a sigh, looking at Siv Siv's face with annoyance.
"That's right! Why did kan and Niv seem to know each other back then? And now he comes to ask for kan again!" She asked, looking toward Hana… Hana was quiet for a bit and understood that something was up because she had seen the reality between Niv and kan. It was strange, but she didn't answer anything to give Siv Siv any hope because she knew what Siv Siv was thinking; but she said she didn't know, shook her head slightly, and then said she was hungry! They hurried to eat together.
After eating, they talked about kan's cute behavior when she dodged Hana back then; they spoke and laughed because they felt kan was like a child, so adorable. Hana didn't forget to remind Siv Siv too, because Siv Siv's May exam results had dropped to 5th place. Siv Siv smiled with annoyance while eating the delicious food why did Hana bring this up? She joked, "What if I fail my rank? Will you stop being friends with me? If so, then kan and I should stop talking again because kan failed her rank too?" Hana teased back playfully, emphasizing that she was friends without thinking about such crazy things! She understood that Siv Siv also liked her rank; she was just reminding her! Thinking of that, she was annoyed with Yin, who had received news about her it was Number 3. Hana laughed, saying don't blame the enemy! Speaking of Yin, Siv Siv was very curious about the relationship between Yin and kan! While eating, Hana said that now Siv Siv was becoming like kan; she spoke with a little laugh while eating. She didn't forbid the relationship or the desire to know about friends because she was curious but didn't want to be nosy, and these things are normal for students and friends, nothing to forbid or be wrong about!
"I'm really curious!" Seeing Hana didn't answer and was busy eating, Siv Siv went to grab Hana's hand, saying "Really? Really?" like a child wanting to know! Hana wasn't one who didn't know how to play; she let out a little sigh and said, "Mmm! Now I have two children as younger siblings!" meaning kan and Siv Siv were like children! Siv Siv went to pinch Hana's cheek a bit as a punishment. Suddenly, Hana spoke with a smile left over from their playfulness just now!
"We broke up!" Siv Siv seemed to stop smiling for a bit; she didn't know how to adjust her posture! This time it wasn't like before; she had nothing to be dissatisfied about!
"Enough! Are you saying you won't stay on my side as a friend?" Hana asked, acting as if she wanted to be angry if Siv Siv felt that Hana had broken Kim's heart! This atmosphere-breaking question made Siv Siv smile with relief and reply that if it was good for Hana, then it was good! They were sitting outside a mart, which had tables, chairs, and umbrellas for customers who bought things in the mart to eat outside! It was too coincidental; Siv Siv, who was sitting with her back turned, didn't know about the path where people were coming and going, but she could see inside from the checkout counter she saw an old lady having trouble with the payment! At first, she couldn't see clearly; as the woman turned her face slightly, Siv Siv recognized her was that that old lady? Without waiting, she hurried inside to check the situation; seeing that, Hana also went to help Siv Siv, wondering what happened that made her get up and walk inside so hurriedly.
