Azusawa Kohane just returned from the music shop to buy a new pair of headphones. She was tired of those cheap earphones which wires always malfunction after no more than 3 months of usage, and she wanted to change that. The night before, she'd been looking at reviews for hours, and finally found the ones thanks to a user on Twitter that was supposedly a famous street musician.
Once she climbed on the bus, she saw that the seats were all taken... except for one near the back. Next to it was a gorgeous girl that coincidentally wore the same pair of headphones as hers around her neck. Moments before Kohane sat next to her, the girl put on her headphones, and Kohane repeated what she had done.
Her Spotify playlist really didn't have a single genre, actually. The songs ranged from 80s and 90s classics she listened to thanks to her eccentric dad (including songs from Culture Club and Duran Duran), some songs from the idol group MORE MORE JUMP! (specifically since her classmate Minori is in the group) and, of course, Hatsune Miku songs, among many more. Who doesn't love her?
As she turned on Bluetooth, she saw the name of her headphones and clicked the first option available. A voice inside them gave her a confirmation that the phone was connected to them. She scrolled a bit to select a song, and this time she chose to play "Color of Drops" by MORE MORE JUMP. However, when she pressed the song, she wasn't met with a piano instrumental. It was playing a completely different song, which was in English. The song abruply stopped, so Kohane paused the song on her phone too.
"Excuse me," The girl beside her took off her headphones. "but did your headphones connect into my phone?"
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" Kohane was too embarrassed to speak, especially because she probably acted foolishly in front of her.
"No worries at all! I have the same headphones, so it's natural to get confused. 'Color of Drops', though? You have a pretty nice taste!"
"Thank you... you know them as well?"
"Of course! As a musician, I love listening to any genre to gain inspiration. And, I will tell you a little secret." The girl suddenly leaned in, slowly closing the distance between her and Kohane. "Haruka is actually my childhood friend~"
"Oh, really? That's so cool... I actually personally know Minori, so that makes both of us!"
Both of the girls chuckled. They talked a bit about music and what they like, and found out that they had less in common, other that they're both first year students, but both of them exchanged Spotify playlists for reference. Kohane could only blush whenever they talked, because the girl before her was so pretty and so cute and so kind and so-
"Oh, by the way, I never got your name. I'm Shiraishi An, nice to meet you!"
"I'm Azusawa Kohane. Do you mind if I... get your number?"
"Not at all! I was afraid you wouldn't ask."
An took Kohane's phone and opened the contact app to write down her number. The caller ID Kohane saw when she called An's number so that she could save her number too was "✨⭐An⭐✨". This girl was too cute for her own good.
"Great, this is my stop now. I hope to see you soon, Kohane~"
"Bye!"
Crap, I missed my chance. I should have asked if she wanted to go on a date with me.
