Weeby realized that Uti didn't seem to have the spirit to play badminton, several times her shots were not precise, her shuttlecock bounce often did not arrive or was missed, and the attacks from Weeby also could not be executed properly by Uti. Even though the balls given by Weeby were easy, Uti should be able to parry them properly. I don't know if it's just Weeby's feelings or if Uti is actually too lazy to play at the moment.
If Weeby's guess was right, Weeby felt very bad. Weeby then chose to stop her activity, and she stepped closer to Uti.
Uti herself was a little confused, her eyes blinked as she saw Weeby, who was walking towards her, instead of returning to hitting the shuttlecock.
"By, will you stop playing?" Uti asked immediately, once Weeby was standing in front of him.
Weeby smiled slightly. "You look tired; you're falling all the time, you're not hitting the right shots, you're missing a lot, even though I'm not hitting very hard."
Uti nodded in understanding, and she knew it. Uti was well aware that she had made some mistakes. "Yes, I admit that. What else can I do? I'm not very good at playing."
"You also look really tired, why don't you tell me you want to rest?"
"Weeby."
"Look at your face, you've got sweat everywhere," Weeby said, pointing to Uti's forehead, which was currently dripping with sweat the size of corn kernels. After that, Uti hurriedly wiped her sweat while smiling slightly.
"Yes, I'm already quite tired." Uti finally.
"You should have said that you wanted to end, but I guess you felt reluctant?"
Uti shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe so, but I don't want you to be disappointed."
"Well, Uti, what's wrong with you? You can just say, let's end the game, let's take a break."
"Don't want to continue?" asked Uti.
"Already, this is it. I'm already tired myself, let's return the shuttlecock and the racket."
Weeby then picked up the shuttlecock that was lying not far from her.
"Weeby, forgive me, okay?" Honestly, Uti was very uncomfortable with Weeby, she was terrible at playing badminton just now. You could say, Uti was completely incapable. Maybe once she could parry Weeby's shot, but after that, Weeby's execution was unstoppable by Uti. The guilt Uti felt really made her feel bad for Weeby.
Weeby pressed her body closer to Uti, then held her with one hand. Weeby laughed a little and said, "Why are you apologizing anyway? It's not your fault, relax."
"I think it's my fault if you ask me to exercise like this, I really can't do anything."
Weeby smiled as she embraced Uti, her lips curving upwards, creating a smile, "There, never mind, let's go to the cafeteria after this, you must be thirsty."
"Yes, my throat is really dry, I need a drink."
"Yes, I'll treat you after this? Think of it as my apology for forcing you to play badminton."
"Apology? You didn't force me to do anything." Uti shook her head firmly because she felt that Weeby's words were very wrong. "I agreed to it myself."
"But still, I feel bad for you. Do you want me to treat you? You have to."
Uti sighed softly, and then the girl nodded briefly. "Yes, whatever you want."
Weeby grinned when she heard Uti's words. Then, after the two of them had returned the sports equipment they borrowed to its original place, Uti and Weeby immediately moved to the cafeteria.
"Is it okay if we go to the cafeteria?" asked Uti.
"What's the problem? We're going to buy something, there's nothing strange," Weeby replied, responding to Uti's question, which she found very ambiguous.
"That's not what I meant."
"So what's going on?" asked Weeby, with both eyebrows almost coming together to form a straight line, while at the same time she tightened her slightly loosened hair ties.
"It's not time to rest yet."
Weeby laughed softly, which made Uti's eyes widen.
Uti snorted softly, "By, I'm serious here. Why are you laughing?"
While continuing to move forward, Weeby's hand waved in front of her face. "Why do you have to think about things you don't want to? Just relax, it's safe. Mr. Dodo doesn't come to teach anyway, I don't think there's anything to worry about that."
"Just because Mr. Dodo doesn't teach our class, that doesn't mean we have to behave as we please, right?" Uti shot back at Weeby.
Weeby sighed heavily, "Yes, I know, but I don't think you need to worry about this. We just exercised, it's only natural to go to the cafeteria to buy drinks. It's safe, you don't need to be afraid."
"If a teacher sees it?"
Weeby was actually a little surprised why Uti seemed like this, like there was something strange, but Weeby herself had difficulty translating it.
"In that case, leave it to me." Weeby answered quickly and loudly. "I'll explain to the teacher, we're not wrong. What's wrong with you? You have a strange feeling."
"I'm fine, what's wrong with me?"
"Lo-" Weeby's words paused for a moment, the girl then exhaled harshly, followed by her head shaking. "Not so." Weeby was suddenly at a loss for what to say. She looked at the object in front of her, apparently, the cafeteria was right in front of her eyes. A very appropriate distraction. "We're here. Let's order. What do you want?"
"Just like you."
"I want to buy some cold mineral water. Do you want some too?"
"Yes, please."
"What do you want to buy?"
"No, I'll just drink."
Weeby looked Uti straight in the face. "Seriously? Just drink? What about bread? Or something else."
"Not yet, I just need a drink."
Weeby didn't want to insist, but she felt like something was missing. "Don't be shy with me, let's just order whatever you want."
This time, Uti shook her head quickly. "Seriously, I don't want anything other than a drink."
"Hm, okay. Can you wait a moment?"
"Yes."
Uti sat down on a long chair while Weeby took two bottles of mineral water from the refrigerator, and the girl was about to pay for them. "How much are these two bottles, ma'am?"
Weeby immediately took the money from his sweatpants pocket. Then she gave it to the canteen lady.
"The money is just right, lady."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Have you been exercising?"
"Yes, ma'am, I'm thirsty, so I came straight here, I need a drink."
"I see."
"Yes, ma'am, I'll go first then."
"Yes, please."
Weeby smiled politely and walked over to Uti. "Here, have a drink first."
Uti accepted the bottle of mineral water offered by Weeby, and immediately downed it. She instantly felt relieved when her throat was flooded with cold water. It felt so relieving, cool, and delicious.
"Thank you."
"Yes, you're welcome. Let's go back to the field, join our friends."
"Okay." Uti immediately agreed, and the next second she stood up from her seat. They walked back next to each other, stepping towards the original place.
"Well, right? What did I tell you? It'll be fine, right?"
Uti showed her wide grin until her neat teeth were clearly visible, her eyes also narrowed. "Yes, I'm the one who worries too much."
Both of them laughed softly, and then when they were walking, something unexpected happened—something bad had come to one of Weeby or Uti. It was a big surprise that neither of them had thought of.
