Chapter 1018 - 1018: Fans (2)

Daichi came down the stairs and saw that apart from Ai, no one was in the lounge. She had a blanket covering her, but the baby bump was still quite visible.

"Hey, have you seen Ken around." Daichi asked.

However, Ai flashed him a dangerous look, causing him to shiver subconsciously. It was the same as Miho's look earlier, except it was lacking the love and affection. This only made it feel far worse.

"Why do you care?" she replied coldly.

'Yep… I guess I deserve that.' Daichi thought, biting his tongue.

He wasn't sure if Ken had spoken the truth to Ai yet, so he didn't go into too much detail.

"I want to apologize to him."

He saw Ai raise her eyebrow, but she still did not look impressed. "He's at one of the batting cages downtown. You can

"Hey."

There was an awkward atmosphere between the two, and it didn't seem like it was going to clear up on its own. Even when they first became friends, it was never like this.

Daichi looked at his brother before nodding, "It's been so long since I went to a batting cage… I wonder how well I'll do?"

Originally, Daichi wanted to apologize right away, but he decided to bite his tongue for now. This might not be something that he could simply apologize for and everything would be okay.

He stepped into the cage and squared up, taking a few practice swings before nodding towards Ken.

"Should we start off slow?" Ken asked.

"Alright."

WHOOOOOSH

THWACKK!

The first ball was crunched by the middle of the barrel, rocketing into the nets. If the kids were here, they might have gone even crazier than they did with Ken's hits.

As more and more balls came, Daichi began to get into the swing of things. His chest felt lighter and before he knew it, a smile began to tug at the corner of his lips.

Inwardly he knew, Ken had told him to swing for a while to reduce the tension he was feeling. He realized that his brother knew him like no other.

"Do you remember the first time we went to the batting cages together?" Ken asked, his tone full of melancholy.
