The next day, you went out to buy grocery since the chef at the orphanage run out of food supplies and you decided to help her since she was watching over the children in your place.

'Eggs… and then... ' You were looking thru the list of ingredients that were on your smartphone.

"[Last name]." You paused and turned to look on who was calling you.

"N-Nanase?!" You blinked again as he was holding a loaf of bread on his hand. He looked shocked to see you bump into him again.

"…Grocery, as well?" He asked and you nodded in reply.

"I see." He replied reflexively and slowly walked away to get another piece of ingredient.

.

You blinked again to see him glance at you.

'Was he looking at me?' you kept on asking yourself that day.

.

When you got back to the orphanage, you noticed the children aren't inside the building but outside. You went closer and you noticed the children sat by the orphanage's private swimming pool and the kind chef noticed you and went to you with a smile.

"Thank you very much, it's a big help! Dinner later would be great!" The kind female chef smiled as she took the groceries from you, but you were too curious with the children looking at the water.

"Why did you bring them here?" You asked as you turned back to the chef causing her to chuckle a bit.

"They wanted to see the finished pool." The chef replied.

That same day, you thought of a good plan for the children…

You needed a coach.

.

"Why me?" Nanase asked in frustration since you have asked him over and over again.

"Because…" You paused.

"You're the only one I can think about!"

Before you could even say that, you closed your mouth. That was going to bring you in a very awkward situation with him if you ever said that.

"Ask Makoto." He said which brought you back to reality.

"He's in Tokyo!" You retorted back. "W-Wait… You knew Makoto was my friend?"

He sighed and took out his phone showing a selfie of you and Makoto back in your university days.

"He's my … best friend." He said slowly looking away from you. "He tells me a lot of things."

"I know that…" You paused and suddenly it hit you.

'Makoto, you're going down… if you ever said… I used to have feelings for him!'

"H-He told you about me?!" You shouted in shock causing your old classmate to flinch.

"Yeah." He said while composing himself.

"L-Like what?" You looked down avoiding his gaze.

"That you were my old classmate."

"A-And?"

"You were his classmate in one of his subjects."

You hit your head and thanked Iwatobi-chan that Makoto kept it a secret.

"Thank goodness…" You sighed in relief.

"Why are you thanking me?" He asked confused and slightly annoyed that you were still keeping him company.

"Because you decided to volunteer and be our coach!"

"N-No way…"
