In a kindergarten, has tons of kids playing around with the toys that was provided for them. The teacher of the little kids was outside of the room, talking to a woman.

A little girl was hiding behind the woman's leg, feeling a bit scared to meet new people and be in a new place. Beside her was a boy with the same appearance as her. His tired eyes bored to the teacher standing in front of him.

"Rin, Ritsu. Behave yourself, alright? I will pick you up around three and we can get you two ice cream!" The mother of the little ones told them, slowly patting the girl's head behind her leg.

Rin looked up at her mother as she nodded in response, taking her twin's hand as the boy guide her inside. Their mother bid them goodbye as the teacher closed the door room.

"Everyone! Can you all look over here?" The teacher brightly called the other kids as they all turned to her, seeing the two kids beside her. "Everyone, this is Rin and Ritsu Sakuma. They are twins and will be joining us starting today. How exciting is that?!"

"New friends!"

"Yey!"

Rin watched them getting excited to meet her and her twin as she hid behind Ritsu, peeking over his shoulder. She met a pair of green eyes staring at her.

The boy eyed the girl, tilting his head as he waved at her. She cowered behind her twin, which made the boy giggled at her action.

"Now, be friendly to each other, okay?" The teacher gesture them all to continue play with the new kids with them. Ritsu and Rin didn't budge at their position.

The boy with green eyes approach them with crayons and a big paper in his hands. "Hello! Do you want to draw with me?"

Ritsu looked at him with his lazy eyes as Rin look down at the crayons in his hands. The boy had his maroon hair in its messy position with his bangs covering almost his eyes. He was about Ritsu's height, with his green eyes shining as he look at them.

The boy felt their silent since he was practically a stranger to them. "My name is Mao Isara! Nice to you meet, um... Sakuma-san!" He felt awkward since the two share the same surname.

The girl started to giggle, surprising the boy in front of them. Ritsu watched her letting out soft laughs. Rin walked out to stood beside Ritsu, smiling to the boy. "You can us by our names, Isara-kun. I am Rin, and this is Ritsu!"

Isara smiled back. "You can call me Mao then!"

Ritsu nod to him, seem to be too tired to be there as he was drag with them by his sister.

As for the few months of being together in the kindergarten, the three had gotten close thorough the whole year. Their parents had gotten close to each other as the kids would always hang out at each other's house. Their friendship had been deepening every year, coming up nicknames for each other since they first met.

The current year was their last year of middle school. The three were on top of their middle school building, having their lunch together as a subject suddenly come up.

"Have you guys decided which high school to go into?" Isara asked the two Sakuma. After the years they grown up each other, even some of their appearance change.

Both Ritsu and Isara had almost the same height, whilst Rin being a tad shorter than them. Isara had his hair the same as they first met each other back in kindergarten, though his bangs on his forehead gotten longer as it sometimes caught in his eyes sometimes, which he didn't bother as much.

Ritsu looked at him while finishing his lunch, nibbling on his rice as he reply. "I'm not so sure yet..."

"Wait... Don't tell me you haven't fill out your picks yet for the teacher?"

"Hm... What?"

Rin giggled as her brother's laziness in replying Isara's question, who sighed at his behaviour.

"Then, Machan. Which school did you pick?" Ritsu asked, calling him the nickname both him and Rin come up with for the boy.

"Yumenosaki Private Academy, but I'm not so sure. Someone from our class told me how I suit to be an idol. I asked why, but they didn't tell me so."

Rin closed her bento as she dug in her pocket for her handkerchief to wipe off the crumbs on her face. "You do have a nice voice, Machan. You will be a sparkling idol for sure!"

"I'm not so sure. If I'm in a very bright unit I might not be able to fit in and be the center." Isara's words trailed off as he think about the units he saw on TV. They were all shining on stage, as if they belong there.

He felt pain on his head at both sides as he let out a painful sound before he brought his hands on his head. "What the hell is that for?!"

"To get over with your overthinking. You've been like that for like, since we first met."

Isara looked away from the Sakuma twins, rubbing his head as he pouted. "I'm not overthinking it...I think."

"You think, huh?"

"I'll root for you in the entrance exam for the school, Machan." Rin said, lighting his mood. "Besides, I'm going there as well."

"Really?!"

"Come to think of it, the teachers mention they submitted those poems of yours and that school sent a letter for you to enroll there." Ritsu recalled what he saw in a letter that was mailed by his house.

"They sent a letter?!"

Rin nodded as Ritsu continued, sighing. "Well, we both have to attend that school anyway. Because of an annoying brother of ours won't stop bugging us about it."

"Firstly, that wasn't a poem. That was a sample of lyrics I was coming up with for nii-san. I guess he told the principal of that school about us that we got a chance to enroll there without asking."

The maroon haired boy sighed heavily again. "I forgot, you have a family in that school. So you two basically have a chance."

"Machan, stop it or I'll smack you again."

"You're mean today, Ritsu."

Rin laughed at their behavior, loving how cute they interact with each other. Her eyes laid on Isara, his hair flew back from the wind coming towards them. The boy tried to fight it as his hair on his forehead got stuck in his eyes. 

Ritsu swallowed a load of rice in his mouth as he said. "I thought you said you going to cut it."

"I know! I cut it like a few weeks ago, but it gotten longer now." Isara laid the hair on his forehead back, trying to make it stayed behind his head. 

Rin stood up as she stuck a hand in her pocket. "Here. Let me." She let out a comb to combed his hair neatly before letting out one of her pins to pin the hair back, showing off his forehead. "There you go. You can keep the pin if you want too."

"T-Thank you, Rin! I guess I'll wear this everyday for my hair." Both of them smiled to each other, as Ritsu silently smirked when he saw red tainted colors on each of their cheeks.

.·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙ ✩ *̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ .

A few weeks had past since the first day for the freshmen begin at the Yumenosaki Private Academy.

The three who seem too hard to separated had gotten separated by their class. The Sakuma twins were able to be in the same class in 1-B. Isara got himself in class 1-A, which was expected since he basically aced the entrance exam.

The students were given their own dorm for their 3 years of schooling as idols. For Rin, who dreamt to be a songwriter artist, had her own dorm room away from the boys, as the school was filled with boys. She got the special treatment by the principal of the school, which she was grateful for it.

What she felt really confused was how she had gotten the nickname Yumenosaki's Maiden. She was told that she was the first ever female student that has attend in the idol course. She felt insecure by it, sometimes got uncomfortable from the name just because she was the first female there. She could feel the stares around her as she walked through one hallway.

Her brothers are in the same school as hers, which is a relief for her as she can always asked for their help if anything happens. But it has been over half of her first month and nothing bad had happen, which is good.

Moving on, she was now sitting on her seat in her classroom, her head resting on both of her hand on the desk as she tries to doze off. It was after class hours, as the students are free to do idol training or just hang out with each other. 

"Rin~" Isara poked the girl's cheek to wake her up. "If you want to sleep, go back to your dorm."

He didn't get an answer or even slight movement of respond from her. He shook her a bit to make sure. "Are you dead?"

"I wish I am..."

The boy chuckled at her reply. "Did you stay up all night again?" He got a soft hum from the girl as he smiled softly to her. 

"Oh, now you mention it..." Rin lazily got up from her position as she grabbed her bag to let out one of her books. "Here's a song for you and your unit." She learnt from Isara how he met three sparkling students one night. She loved his unit's behavior as he continued to explain how they were that time.

She hadn't met them yet, which she won't bother too as she wanted to continue focusing making more lyrics.

"Oh, thanks! But seriously. Take care of yourself. It's not healthy staying up all night for something you can do after school." 

He got another hum from the girl as she started to doze off again by shutting her eyes, feeling comfortable sleeping while sitting up. "H-Hey, that's a bad posture to sleep in..." Isara sighed at her before sliding his hand on his hair, feeling the pin bump on his hand.

"Sari!" A loud voice called out from outside of the class as the door was slammed opened by a vibrate orange haired boy. "We're heading out together! Come on!"

"Idiot Akehoshi! Don't act like this is your classroom!" 

"Hm? But Sari is in there!"

It was a good thing that only Isara and Rin were inside left. Ritsu had gone out, more like gotten dragged by a certain blonde with difficult pronoun.

"Okay, you two. Calm down. There's no one inside besides Isara-kun um... T-The maiden?!" A dark blonde boy with blue rimmed glasses covering his green eyes. 

The orange haired kid walked over to them as he shouted. "Yahoo! I'm Subaru Akehoshi! Sari told us about you. Nice to meet you, Gigi!"

Rin looked up at the noise to see the people she had recognized from Isara's stories. She could feel the energy coming out from them as they were arguing just now.

"...Gigi?"

Isara wrapped an arm around the boy as he smiled. "Sorry about that. As you've heard, this is Subaru Akehoshi. He comes up with nicknames every time he meets new people. So you going to have to deal with the name from him for now."

Rin giggled. "That's actually cute. It helps you to remember who they are, no?"

You can practically see Subaru's eyes shining as he leaned in towards the girl. "You're right! You are totally right! Hokke, Ukki! She's awesome!"

"Quite down, you idiot." A dark haired boy called him as he sighed at his friend's reaction towards the girl. "I'm sorry about him."

Rin yawned as she stood up from her desk. "Don't worry about it. Are you guys going out somewhere? I'll close the class if you guys heading out."

"Actually..." Isara thought for a moment. "Why don't you come with us? We're actually going to practice out the songs you gave me earlier."

"Wait! She's the one who wrote our first song?!"

Rin giggled again. "Yes, I did, Subaru-kun. And I think that's a good idea. I can help you guys out if you wanted too."

"All right!" 

"That would be helpful for us. Thank you, Miss maiden!" The blonde boy thanked her, which she founded funny as she giggled again.

She gave them a warm smile. "There's no need to call me that ridiculous name. Rin is fine."

"Okay, Gigi!"
