บท 117: Rejection

"Hey Shun, we're going to karaoke. Do you want to come with us?" - Hana said as she approached and gave Shun a beautiful smile.

"Huh?" - Shun looked distractedly at Hana's beautiful smile. He couldn't believe what was happening. Was Hana really inviting him on a date? He wasn't dreaming, right?

"Ohh, great idea, Hana! You should come, Shun. It's been a while since we all hung out together!" - Unfortunately for Shun, his friend Toji snapped him out of his daydream, bringing him back to reality and making him realize that Hana wasn't inviting him on a date.

"Ah, sorry, I'll stay with the team to watch the game of our next opponent." - Shun said as he scratched the back of his head. Even though he didn't want to miss the chance to go out with Hana, he had priorities. He knew this was his last chance to make it to the Kanto tournament, and he intended to give it his all to reach that goal.
