Hariz then realised that there's some girls are watching them played.
"We get some cute spectators, huh", said Hariz.
"Seems like that", said Ike.
"Don't you have any during play for Malaysia?" asked Zuwe.
"Yes, but all of them supporting Thailand since we're played in Thailand that time", said Hariz. Zuwe and Ike chuckled
"Heh, no wonder", said Zuwe. Then 2 girls approaching them.
"Excuse me". Hariz turned around and saw Erina and Jasmine were standing behind them.
"Oh, hi there", greeted Hariz.
"You're Hariz, right. We'll be classmate started next week", said Erina.
"Well, yeah. I guess so", said Hariz.
"I'm Erina Nakiri. I never watch people playing this sepak takraw since I grew up in Japan. Even when I moved back here in Malaysia, I went to the international school", said Erina.
"So, you just like Danny. He grew up in Ireland and he just started playing sepak takraw this week", said Hariz.
"What about you? Your last name is like a Korean", said Erina.
"Well, my father is a Korean. He's married with my mother when he moved here due to his business, of course I was born in Korea. When I was 4 years old, we moved back to Malaysia but later, when I was 12, they got divorced. My father then get remarried with his first wife after that and moved back to Korea while my mother remarried too after that and moved to Melbourne", said Hariz.
"Oh, sorry. But why you didn't follow any of your parents?" asked Erina.
"Well, I already played to represent my state that time. If I followed any of them, my momentum died", said Hariz.
"All for sepak takraw, huh", said Erina.
"You can say that", said Hariz.
"Can you teach me sometimes?" asked Erina.
"Well, just came here everyday at 5pm
and played with us then. In weekend, we're played at 7am until 10 am and we might played at 5pm too if we're free", said Hariz.
"Okay. But right now, I just watched you boys play", said Erina.
"Okay, then", said Hariz. Later, team FH exited the court and team Hariz enters it.
"Are you sure you want to play sepak takraw? You're too beautiful for that", said Jasmine.
"Who cares. Let me try something new", said Erina.
"But, Erina", said Jasmine before Erina cuts her off.
"Jasmine, please", said Erina. Jasmine sighed before she and Erina focused back to the match.
A few minutes later;
The score is currently 21-20 with team Zarep is on match point and now is team Hariz's serve. Hariz then tossed the ball to Zuwe. Zuwe served the ball with his high speed serve but it stuck at the net for team Zarep wins 22-20. Then, all players gathered around and cooling down.
"So, is there anywhere to go today?" asked Hariz.
"Not for me. I'm going to sleep at my room. Seriously, welcoming week is so tiring", said Zuwe.
"That's true. We've been through briefing after briefing from 8 am to 4.30 pm. Then we get a break to play sepak takraw for a while and continue listening to briefing from 9pm until they think it's time to stop", said Dam.
"Yes. Let's hope it won't be the same once we start our lecture", said Zarep.
"Yeah, right. It might getting worse", said FH.
"So, Libas. Did you have anything to do today?" asked Isa.
"Well, my cousin Diana and I planned to visit our aunty in Puchong", said Hariz.
"Really? So, will you not available at 5pm?" asked Ike.
"Not sure about that", said Hariz.
"Oh, I see. We shall try play doubles then if you're not around", said Danny.
"Yes, I guess", said Hariz. Then, after done cooling down, all boys returned to their rooms.
Later on;
Hariz and Diana are having lunch with their aunty, Lisa. Lisa is a widow with 2 children after her husband died in a car crash 3 years ago.
"So, Hariz. Is your sister ever contacting you?" asked Lisa.
"No, we've lost connection since our father and my mother got divorce after all", said Hariz.
"Don't you miss her?" asked Lisa.
"I don't know. We're never being close though. When she debut in K-pop at 2007, I was just 6 years old and stay here in Malaysia. To be honest, I had a doubt if she even remember me", said Hariz.
"Well, why don't you try send a message to her social media like Instagram? She seems quite active there", said Lisa.
"She might get plenty of DM though. Why must she respond to someone like me? She might think I'm just a crazy boy that declares himself as Park Gyuri's brother", said Hariz.
"Try it first. Who knows if it ever worked", said Lisa.
"Well, I'll try later on", said Hariz.
"That's good. I hope that you may reunite with your sister", said Lisa.
"Hope so", said Hariz.
That night;
Hariz opened his Instagram and clicked on Gyuri's profile before send her a private message: Annyonghaseyo, nuna. Do you still remember me?
Hariz then wait for a while before Gyuri replied to his message: Annyonghaseyo. Mianhe but no. Who are you?
Hariz sighed before replied: Well, just forget about it. You might not believe me if I told you. Mianhe for disturbing you.
Meanwhile in Seoul, South Korea, Gyuri is hanging out with former Kara's members; Han Seungyeon, Nicole Jung, Kang Jiyoung and Heo Youngji. Gyuri's laughter making the other girls wondering.
"Unnie, why did you laughed all of sudden?" asked Nicole.
"I just received a dm from my long lost nam-dong-saeng via Instagram. He thought I already forgot about him", said Gyuri.
"That half Malaysian brother of yours? How did you recognise him? The last time you saw him, he just 5 years old", said Jiyoung.
"Well, I recognised him the moment he dm me. His Instagram name is libas_harizpark", said Gyuri.
"What a name. What does libas even mean?" asked Youngji.
"He's playing as striker in sepak takraw or in Southeast Asia countries, they called that position as killer. Libas is a stingray's attack using their serrated barb. In sepak takraw, the term is used for the fast leg movement that a killer always did while doing their spike,", said Gyuri before send to Hariz a picture of her and 3 years old Hariz with a message: I might be crazy if I forget my only nam-dong-saeng 😙😙 How you're doing?
Back in Malaysia, Hariz was so happy after he knew Gyuri still remember him. He then replied: Nuna!!! I really though you've forgot about me. I'm good. Just register to a bachelor degree programme in University of Kuala Lumpur (UniKL). Then, Hariz and Gyuri keep chatting until late at night. They exchanged contact number before ended their chat.
