Chapter 48

“Hey, man, you were really amazing in our basketball match yesterday,” Lino said with a smirk to Van.

“Really?!” Van asked, obviously feeling happy to have been complimented by Lino. “I was slower when it comes to running compared to you, though.”

“It’s fine, man,” Lino replied while smirking. “I can understand that. I’m faster than you obviously because I was trained in football, which required a lot of running. But you were able to defend our ring well and you were even able to shoot a three-point shot.”

“Thanks, man,” Van answered while wearing his usual gentle smile. “By the way, man, I was wondering about something.”

“Sure, just ask me. What is it?” Lino replied while looking at Van.

“Why did you suddenly decide to go for basketball this time?” Van inquired curiously.

“What do you mean, man?” Lino asked while feeling confused about Van’s question.
