The five went to a five-star restaurant owned by a partner company of Athena's father, although the food tasted bland, it didn't matter because they were all reunited.
They talked about what happened in the past three years when he was gone and what Josiah did in those three years. Josiah looked at them, reminiscing the past when they won their first championship together, they ate at a nearby food stall and got drunk.
It felt like deja vu to him. As they all ate, Azrael spoke up, "J-just why? W-why did you leave so suddenly?"
The atmosphere went tense all of a sudden, Josiah went silent.
"Is it because of your injury? Because if it is, we don't really care." Azrael added. "Do you remember the way we all met?"
Josiah clearly and vividly remembers that memory, they were all just strangers back then, but because of a tournament, the four seasons were created. Because of a game, they made an irreplaceable friendship. Maybe that's why Josiah suddenly left because it's only a game, a game of life.
"Az-"
"Shut up, Vince!" Azrael became emotional because of the wine they're drinking, "Do you know how much emotional trauma we had to endure these past three years? If you think this friendship isn't worth your time if you think that we're just pawns to you, then we shouldn't have created the four seasons in the first place." he sat back down and covered his face with his hoodie.
"I-I get it, I'm sorry. I-I just didn't want to drag you guys down..." Josiah mumbled.
"Haha, if you think this friendship revolves around the game, then this isn't friendship, this is pure bullshit!" Azrael said in a mocking tone.
Josiah suddenly realized something, his eyes widen as tears began forming in his eyes, his sole focus is only in the game that he forgot that he didn't form the team because he wants to win championships, he formed it because of the friendship they had, the bond that slowly grew stronger the longer they played together.
He gripped his thighs harder as tears began falling from his face, he stood up from his chair and walked in front of their table and did a 90-degree bow while saying,
"I'm sorry for being childish, I'm sorry for being so insensitive. To tell you guys the truth, my skills are getting worse as time passes, and I just don't want to drag you guys down, but I realized how stupid I am by not remembering the reason why we formed the Four Seasons in the first place."
The restaurant went silent as only footsteps could be heard, the three ran towards Josiah and hugging him while sobbing and chuckling at the same time, "Haha, I think you overdid it Az." Justin laughed.
Josiah turned sour as he heard that, "You fu-" before he could finish, the three hugged him so tight that he fainted with foam forming in his mouth.
Athena chuckled at their table but immediately ran towards Josiah when she saw that he fainted.
...
The four sent Josiah to the hospital but he got discharged the morning after, Josiah, Justin, Vincent, and Azrael walked towards the restaurant with laptops in hand, while walking together, the three could feel a killing gaze from Josiah but they just laughed it off.
"Where are we going, by the way?" Josiah asked.
Justin replied mysteriously, "Just wait and see."
...
They arrived at the restaurant and sat on their tables, when they were in the hospital yesterday, they already had a table ordered online and had it delivered to the restaurant, which made Apollo scratch his head in confusion, regardless, he placed it next to the trio's tables because the guy who delivered it said it was from Justin.
The four sat together like they were in a Lan party, Josiah already has a laptop because Justin bought it together with the table.
Everything is set and done when all of a sudden, they heard a voice, or rather, a shout, "C-can you guys give me an autograph!!"
They saw Noah doing a bow while handing out his pen and a folded paper, they looked at him awkwardly, Justin spoke up, "Bro... you don't need to be like that just for an autograph..."
They took his pen and paper and signed it with their signatures, "Can you also sign my shirt? Hehe." They chuckled and signed it.
Noah secretly took a picture with them and posted it on his social media account, his phone immediately rang like crazy a few minutes after he uploaded it.
[Where are you right now, Noah?!]
[It's the three seasons... but who is that guy?]
[Did you live in a cave? That's the fourth season!]
[A-a-are they having a comeback?!]
Noah replied the guy who first commented, [Not telling you *Tongue out emoji*]
...
The four of them played all night, even spending over $100 for five cups of coffee just to play all night, they left when the restaurant's about to close
