The Dreamers
A different feeling
Today is a painful day. It was a cold and hot night at the same time. Breath in and out is irregular. But this is not experienced by Hiro, but rather-, the,
"YYYYY!!!" A shrill shout broke the silence of the female dormitory at night.
...
The lights in the dormitory one by one were back on after previously being extinguished.
"Whose voice is that?"
"What happened just now?"
"The sound is from Izumi's room right?"
All the residents of the dormitory were shocked by Saki's shout. They think something is going on with him.
Cklik...
Saki's room door opened from the outside. A woman came to his room.
"Saki are you okay? what's going on?!"
"uh? A hanabi? what's the night here?" Saki's face was so flat that Hanabi was surprised.
"Why are you yelling?" Ask Hanabi. He sat down next to Saki. "What are you doing?" Ask.
"It's okay" Saki replied.
"Why did Hanabi suddenly come.., surely she wanted to bother me again ." Inner Saki.
...
Hanabi is Saki's best friend in the girls' dorm. They were together every night. Hanabi is a girl of Saki's age with long brown hair and tied up as her trademark.
...
"Lying..," Hanabi looked into Saki's eyes. "There must be something, right? by the way."
"Yes," Saki relented and told Hanabi about what was happening at this time. If not told, Hanabi would definitely keep asking.
"Actually I just saw the Akihabara FC match against Osaka Steels..," continued Saki.
Just a little explained, Hanabi could already understand this situation. He was aware of the situation that was going on with his best friend.
"Hmmm.Akihabara FC? isn't that the team your girlfriend's defending?" Ask Hanabi.
"Heeh.., I-Yes," Saki replied.
"Continue?"
"Yes continue to lose.., use tanya..," said Saki annoyed.
Seeing Saki's reddened face restraining emotions, Hanabi could only laugh. "Pff.., Uhahha..! Ooo, pantes aja you scream so.., it turns out Akihabara lost 3-2 from Osaka huh? ahaha!"
"Diem you!" Saki hit Hanabi with a pillow.
...
Hanabi was able to figure this out because she clearly saw the score 3-2 plastered on Saki's current room television screen. Saki does like to see football matches, especially if Hiro is playing.
...
"Diehhhh!!" Saki pinched Hanabi's hand in annoyance.
"Ouch! it hurts!" Erang Hanabi's.
"Some of you laugh.." Saki said. "Originally you know, because of this defeat, Akihabara FC failed to promote to Liga 1 Japan!"
"Oh.., that..," said Hanabi.
"Hoo.huh..!" Saki grew even more annoyed at hearing Hanabi who seemed to not care about her.
"Are you upset because Akihabara FC lost or because of me?"
"Pake tanya!” Saki Snapping.
"Hahaha," Hanabi was happy to continue teasing Saki who still could not accept Akihabara's defeat. "Sorry.sorry..,"
This was the reason why Saki was a little lazy to share the story with Hanabi. There must be something that might upset him.
...
"By the way, how's your boyfriend doing?" Suddenly Hanabi asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Yeah.., how he is.., his feelings. He just lost, who knows now he's sad again, try your phone" said Hanabi. "You're the same she calls a lot, right?"
Saki smiled while looking down. "We rarely give word" he said, playing with the pillow he was holding.
"Lho?!" Hanabi surprised. She doesn't know if Saki and Hiro rarely interact.
"Kok so? are you guys a couple? a rare time of news?"
"Yes, every time I call him, he never picks up the phone. Hiro rarely calls me, either" Beber Saki.
"Why or what?"
"Maybe it's because his phone's at home right now he's training, or maybe he's too tired to pick up the phone."
"What's that?"
"Well, what else" said Saki. "It's a risk to have an altet boyfriend."
"Hmm, a complicated relationship," In Hanabi's heart. Hanabi then asked, "You..believe Hiro?"
Saki looked at Hanabi and said, "Yes."
"Okay.., do you believe Hiro is okay now?"
"Yes," Saki replied confidently. "I've known Hiro for a long time, I know that Hiro is not a weak type of person. I'm sure he'll be fine now."
...

🌃🌃🌃
...
...
Hiro can't sleep. Even for just eating, he was still lazy.
Hiro gets a lot of personal messages from Akihabara fans to him. Many gave him encouragement, some said badly to him.
Until late Hiro got a lot of messages from others. Makes himself more disturbed. It is not enough just to lose to Osaka, now he also feels if he can not even become a great player as he wants.
...
"It's always a hassle..," Desis Hiro for no reason.
Hiro's mind was everywhere. He did not expect that this one season's struggle was over just like that. Added again with the performance of Hiro which is still far from the word 'Outstanding'.
"Third rank.., AAAHHH!!" Hiro continued to speak for himself that night. "Sadly.., even though we just need one point to get in the top three.., but can't."
Hiro kept thinking about the last 1 point. If only the match against Osaka had ended with Akihabara's victory, surely things would have been different 180 degrees at this time.
"What do I do next?" Mumbled Hiro. Hiro's heart is fragile. He doesn't know what's going to happen tomorrow.

...
...
And this morning, the management of Akihabara FC will hold a meeting with the players in the office of Darwin's company as the owner and shareholder of the club. I don't know what happened until Darwin had a sudden meeting on a weekday. Darwin was always busy. Hiro had not sent or received any messages from Darwin for a long time.
...
tok. tok..tokk.
"Come in" said Hiro from his room. Hiro was cleaning his room with a vacuum cleaner.
Cklite..,
"Hiro..?"
Hiro turned to look at the door and saw who was coming. "Oh, you're Ryo.., what's wrong?"
"Hmm, nothing at all. I'm just confused about what to do today, because we haven't trained since the League's finished,"
"Yes right, I am also confused as to what to do..," muttered Hiro. "Why do you help me clean up?"
"Yeah, I think it's wrong. Males was even invited to clean up. I thought you had something you could do, it turned out to be just like me, hadehh,,"
"Hehe, sorry,"
...
Hiro and Ryota finally decided to go out of the dorm and do a morning run together to maintain fitness.
...
...
At 06:45 they started running. Running for 10 km is not a difficult thing for them at this time. Even this distance was normal for them.
The view is actually beautiful all the way. The city of Akihabara is full of manga bookstores and buildings that glow at night. But in the morning, the atmosphere is very different.
...
"Oh, yes, Ryo, we're going to Darwin's office, right?" Hiro asked Ryota while slowing down his foot.
"Huh?" Ryota still hasn't caught Hiro's question. "Oh, Darwin's office?.Yes, at nine o'clock we'll be there by bus" Ryota said.
"Why did Darwin suddenly have a meeting?" Hiro.
"Either, perhaps because the target set by him failed to be done by us?" Ryota slightly floated his theory. "Or maybe.., we'll all be out of contract for disappointment!!"
"DORUSHH!!" Hiro quickly stopped Ryota's habit of speaking origin. "You speak the truth, what really happened? just think of something else" said Hiro.
"Think of something else?"
"Yes,"
"Hmm..," Ryota thought of something ignorant in his head. "How about thinking about Saki?"
"..."
"Daeahhh!!"
"W-What are you talking about!"
Hiro's face looked red.
"We need to stay focused! can't think of a couple!"
"I never thought about Saki all this time when I was training or playing, so I can play to the maximum!"
...
Hiro put out all the arguments he had. Hiro is always wrong when talking about Saki. It is true that Hiro and Saki are a new couple. They both do not know themselves.
Even if Hiro and Saki were to meet right now, maybe they would look like strangers.
...
"Hahaha, it's Hiro, I'm just kidding, you don't take things too seriously" Ryota said.
"A-I? seriously responding?! huh! where's there!" Hiro's face was getting red. Hiro only realized that Ryota was only baiting himself to misbehave.
"Hahaha.., you look ugly in panic! ahaha!" Ryota shouted as he increased his running speed and left Hiro behind.
Hiro's not after Ryota. He just shook his head. "Ryo..Ryo..," muttered Hiro.
🍃🍃🍃
A few minutes Hiro ran alone after parting ways with Ryota. He then looked at his watch which was already eight o'clock more.
"It's running enough. It's time to go back and get ready to go to Darwin's office for another meeting." Hiro sped up his pace to return to the dormitory.
