Chapter 56- Sports club

Akisu knew there was something different about this friend of his named Minoru.

Not only did Minoru answer every question directed at him correctly, but his confident demeanor and sudden charm elevation, raised a lot of queries.

For some reason, people couldn't ignore it from wherever Minoru passed and also, some of the girls were giving him the looks that only boys like Shio or Koori's boyfriend, Nao received.

Maybe it was because Minoru no longer wore his glasses, that his confidence had attained a boost.

'I wish I could be like him one day...' Thinking about a certain redhead he met during the vacation, Akisu hoped that if he met her next time, he could be a better version of himself.

"What you mulling about?" Hearing Minoru's query, as the boy took one omelet roll from his box, Akisu subconsciously uttered,

"I also wanna look good..." It wasn't that Akisu desired popularity; rather he detested being in the spotlight.

Akisu just wanted to be good-looking enough that the next time he sees Miku—if the chance arrives—he doesn't need to feel inferior or get overly embarrassed which could cause their conversation to always be one-sided.

He didn't want to get regarded as a creep.

"Hmm? Why don't you join a gym or something? I heard that discipline provides you with a personality."

Akisu scoffed at the suggestion. While it was true that he had made a mental note to lose weight, it didn't mean he would need a gym to build his personality.

...in the first place, Akisu was uncertain whether he would even go to the gym after a couple of days of joining.

"Trust me, Aki, once you change your daily pattern, you will see some sort of difference in your life."Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

Hearing Minoru pestering on the topic, garnered Akisu's attention, as the thought of visiting the nearby gym arose inside of him.

"So, what am I supposed to do?" Initially, Minoru wasn't planning to join, but seeing the options open for him here, he couldn't resist the temptation~

"Before that, do you know anything about soccer? Or have you ever played any sport before?" Unlike the unhealthy thoughts Minoru possessed, the older one named Kenji was entirely focused on gaining his eleventh man.

Minoru lied without much thought, "I used to play baseball back in middle school. And about soccer, then I think I can be a good goalkeeper?"

Hearing that, Kenji's eyes lit up. He was exactly looking for a goalkeeper! And here, God itself has sent this boy for them.

(A/N:- Minoru read his mind.)

"Perfect! Now go change into the spare clothes of someone you find fit and come back here." Minoru nodded before he made his way toward the locker room which was near the field.

Meanwhile, when he was away,

"Coach...are you sure about him? I mean, he looks so tender and soft. I bet he might end up crying after getting the ball smacked on his face." One of the boys with tanned skin and shaved head passed the comment about Minoru.

It wasn't only the speaker but anyone who could discern that Minoru wasn't suited for rough games. His delicate features would even make people hinder throwing the ball at him, in fear of hurting the boy.

"What? You now falling for him?" Someone from the group passed the comment before others began chuckling.

Kenji just sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose, and was about to tell everyone to behave until Minoru got through his trial. However, as soon as their eyes landed on the approaching figure of Minoru, wearing the half-sleeve jersey and shorts, everyone turned extremely silent.

...this might indeed become a little dangerous... not for Minoru but for the other boys.
