As Lev caught his breath, he used his jersey to wipe the sweat off of his face, revealing his perfectly toned stomach.

One of his teammates elbowed him, Lev turned to look at him, confused by his teammates' smug smirk.

"Who are you trying to show off to?" He said, his eyes pointing at Lev's now-covered stomach.

"Hey, man. Break is over. Coach wants us." His teammate said, as his hand gestured toward the door.

Her apartment in Tokyo was tiny, as rent wasn't cheap, but she managed to score a one-room apartment close to her school and work.

Her kitchen as living room were one, no wall separating the two different areas. However, the distinct line of what was kitchen and what was living room was enough to tell the two apart.
