Chapter Text
‘Amane! Here are your apology donuts from your favourite café!’
Amane turned around and saw his twin brother giving him a box of plain homemade donuts, grinning wide. Amane’s eyes light up.
‘Thank you, Tsukasa!’
But before Amane could grab the box, Tsukasa pulled away. ‘I’m still your favourite brother, right?’
Amane frowned. ‘Tsukasa, you’re my only brother. And yes, don’t worry, I’m not mad at you anymore’.
Tsukasa’s grin grew wider (somehow). ‘Yayyyy! Here you go, you donuts. Ok bye now! I need to go meet up with Sakura and Natsuhiko or else they will be mad! After all, we were supposed to meet up an hour ago, hehe’.
Amane’s eyes widened. ‘I- Tsukasa! Geez, that kid’. Amane shooked his head and walked towards his class.
Then, he saw him. Minamoto Teru. And as always, he is surrounded by girls, and boys too. But mostly girls.
Please don’t notice me, please don’t notice me.
This was Amane’s thoughts as he walked past him.
In truth, Amane is afraid of Teru. He also doesn’t trust him. I mean, how is someone so perfect??
He might as well be an anime character, Amane thought.
Unfortunately for him, Teru noticed. ‘Well good morning to you, No. 7’. Teru said.
‘Good morning to you’, Amane gritted.
Since the incident where Amane bet that he will win a race with Teru (but ended up being in 7th place out of their friends), Teru had started calling him No. 7. And that made Amane loathe him even more.
Surprisingly, Akane came first place.
Amane walked faster, and if Teru called out to him, he didn’t hear it. Finally, he arrived at his class, Astronomy.
As a child, Amane have loved the moon, the stars, the sky, rockets, comets, planets, oh and don’t forget the moon. Growing up, he still has that love and decided to take Astronomy as his major.
He looked down at the box of donuts. Better eat all of them before Mitsuba finds out, he thought.

Yashiro Nene smiled at herself. Today was a busy day for her, as always.
As she brew a cup of coffee for a customer, she can’t help but wonder. Should she hire someone? Another person will be great.
Her best friend, Aoi, had pointed out that she looked tired than usual and Yashiro have to apply extra layers of concealer than normal to hide her eyebags.
Maybe I should ask Aoi about this later, Yashiro thought as she wipes down the table.
The bell rang, signifying that a customer has entered the café.
Yashiro looked up, gave them her usual smile. ‘Welcome to the Third Floor!’
🌸🌸🌸
Amane opened the door to his room where he found his roommate, Mitsuba, making out with Teru’s brother, Kou. Again.
Kou’s eyes widened in shocked. While Mitsuba just glared at him.
‘Oh my god, I am so sorry! I totally forgot the time! I’ll be going now!’
At the same time, Mitsuba was shouting at Amane in a string of curses.
Amane closed the door. He never knew how they got together in the first place, their personality is so… different. After a while, Kou came out of the room, apologizing profusely while Mitsuba just glared at Amane with his arms cross, probably mad that Amane had ruined the moment.
Kou left and Mitsuba had come back to his phone, already texting Kou. Amane shooked his head. He will never understand how those two got together. He doesn’t know which one is more believable, Mitsuba and Kou being together or Kou being Teru’s brother.
Amane shuddered at the thought of Teru. How could someone as cold as him have a literal puppy dog as a brother?
His thoughts were interrupted by a text from Tsukasa.
Tsukasa
Guess what???
The café that sells your favourite donuts are employing!!!
Hanako

Tsukasa

You know what this means?

:DDDD
Hanako
Hold on, im setting up the alarm
What time was the job interview again?
After Tsukasa told him the details (12pm tomorrow), Amane prepared for his interview, and that includes… his resume. He hasn’t looked at that ever since the end of high school when the teachers forced everyone to write out a resume.
He replied with a thumbs up to Tsukasa’s text.
He became ‘Hanako’ after an incident in a school play where the girl who was supposed to be Hanako-san of the toilet had an injury and they needed someone to replace her. His whole class voted for Amane to be Hanako because apparently, he looked like Hanako.
Amane had refused, saying that he didn’t want to be a girl. So, after some discussion, he had become Hanako-kun of the toilet. Basically, he became the boy version of the original Hanako.
Tsukasa had made fun of him for that, saying that Amane’s acting was bad (it wasn’t) and how Amane looked pretty (he did). A few years later, after a bet, Amane had to change his name to Hanako. And he had been Hanako ever since.
🌸🌸🌸
After Yashiro had a talk with Aoi, they both agreed that Yashiro should employ someone.
‘Just one for now, Nene-chan. And if you need anymore help, just hire someone again ♡’, suggested Aoi.
And Yashiro did. She had stick out a piece of paper in front of her café saying:
URGENT!
NEED HELP!
FREE DESERT OF CHOICE AFTER EVERY SHIFT
Of course, Yashiro being Yashiro, she made sure that it looked pretty.
Yashiro sighed. She was feeding her pet hamster, Black Canyon while gazing out of her window.
Hopefully someone does want to take this job. She does need a help.
‘We’ll see what happens tomorrow’, she says to herself, looking out at the moon.
