“It is an important part of my room. It will be!“ With a confident nod, it was surprising how Yurina went through with it. Well, she was forced to. Looking down on her, taishi accidentally let out a small chuckle. “Yeap, grown up for sure.“ He went to search around for a penguin stuffed animal. “A zoo, huh? Maybe next time. You didn’t go in that show, right? Let’s go next time.“ Turning, he raised his pinky finger for the girl. “Promise?” With a smile, he waited for the female. Taishi then took the penguin and placed it back. “Not this one, Yu-chan.“ Walking down at the aisle, the male then took a larger penguin compared to the one before. “This one.“ Handed it over to Yurina, you could barely see her body. “Penchon is now perfect.“ Nodding seeing Penchon as Yurina was holding onto it. “Is it a he or her? What do you think Yu-chan?“

“Hah? what is this pinky promise thing. kimochi warui.” she shuddered, pushing his finger away jokingly. She took the bigger plushie and frowned, unamused. what’s the point of getting a bigger one? the girl couldn’t understand so deep down she thought that she might actually be more mature than the other, making the situation not relatable at all for her. “It’s a he. Definitely! A girl would cry if you named her Penchon.” she chuckled and took her phone out, scrolling through messages from their conversation on Line. “Dear Nakagawa Taishi, you said you needed a key-holder, hangers, racks, pens and new shoes. I don’t want to question why we’re at the toy store, getting you a penguin plushie but we better get moving soon, and you’ll be holding the plushie. Not me. I’m a big girl now.” she glares again, so he’d refrain to make fun of her this time.

Keyakizaka46 is a massive success and I would be lying if I said I am not jealous of how powerful the lyrics and choreography are. Do you think it’d be okay if I wanted to attend to one of your lives? Please, let me. Hm? I wasn’t aware WRina was a popular ship ww. But sure! I haven’t been involved in a ship for so long—I can’t remember. Are you busy right now?

Miki’s day has been a mix of ups and downs so far–waking up in her studio to find that she had slept on her desk and imprinted some of last night’s scrap work onto her cheek, receiving a new commission for some decorative pieces for a clothing store in Harajuku, getting bad fish for sushi for lunch, and now she found herself back under glaring photography lights in Ikebukuro, helping to model for a student designer’s graduation pamphlet. Her eyebrows have been glued down and covered up by foundation like a drag queen’s, and she was sporting some strange outfit that was largely made of clear, red vinyl, with only some opaque bits to cover up ~sensitive areas~. When the shoot was finally over, Miki let out a long, relieved sigh, bowed and “otsukaresama deshita”-ed the whole room, and made a beeline for the bathroom to wash off the gunk from the face. Unfortunately, the bathroom on their floor of the studio was packed with other models, so Miki decided, with gritted teeth, to make the hike down the staircase to the floor below to try their bathroom instead, earning some strange looks on the way from other occupants of the building who were not particularly used to seeing avant garde designs. 

Stepping in, she noticed the sole occupant of this bathroom was a petite girl who seemed to be in a bit of a twist, looking at the open back of her outfit seemingly trying to find a zipper. Without thinking about how much of an alien she personally resembled at that moment, Miki called out. “Hi there, do you need some help?” 

Yurina was on the verge of having a mental breakdown. She leaned against the wall, close to giving up, since she dare not open the door of the washroom. It would be terrible if a male saw her, or anyone, she just doesn’t want anyone to witness her embarrassing moment. Head was full of chanting and praying, hands was busy trying to figure out where the damn zip was. Then the door opened and the idol hid her face away from the stranger. “Hi there, do you need some help?” the lady called out to her. As embarrassing as it was, she really needed help. “Onegaishimasu!” She bowed 90 degrees, with her bare back. Years later, this will definitely be a laughable scene to remember. Turning her back to the lady, she asked in a soft tone. “I couldn’t seem to find the zip..I’m actually unsure whether there’s a zip or not, I couldn’t remember how I took it off in the first place. Sorry to trouble you but could you please take a look at it for me?” she flashed the lady a flustered yet apologetic grin. 

“10 minutes is better than 15 I say so myself.“ He said as he started to walk. Her glares does not phase him a single bit. Maybe a little. “Eh? How did you know that I went to such a website?!“ The tone of his voice showed how sarcastic he was. “Who knows when I am going to use them anyways. They might be handy when my house is being robbed.“ With a cocky smirk, their conversation went on as they arrived at the mall. “5 star is definitely impossible!“ Objecting it for sure. The sliding door opened for them as he stepped inside. The cool breeze hits their skin. Making him smile. “Yosh, where should we go first?“ He asked himself, his eye scanned around looking for possible shops to enter. “We should start with… That one!“ He points to a toy shop. Looking at Yurina with a smirk, with no answer, he held her hand and dragged her into the shop. “We’re getting a penguin for sure.“

she immediately lets out a groan before he even said where he wanted to go. the moment he turned his head towards the store, she wanted to cuss-- but no. yurina wasn’t the type of girl that cusses out loud, maybe sometimes in her head but hey a 15-year old girl cussing is pretty normal, she was a frustrated teen. “honestly...what do you even need those for? you’re so lame.” she squinted. as annoyed as she may sound, she really wasn’t at all. as mentioned, the girl was used to it already. “We’re getting a penguin for sure? you meant YOU right? I’m a grown up now Taishi.” a brat. but only to him since he was ; the dumber version of her onii-chan. “I want to get a real penguin. Ah! We should’ve went to the zoo.” she made her way to the shelf full of penguin plushies, grabbing one and shoved it in his chest. “And the name for this penguin is~ penchon!”

You flatter me too much! Associating me with Maeda Atsuko-san is my life’s greatest honor. I’ve been really busy with Keyaki’s 4th single and in need of Jurinyaa’s love! We’re so cool in SakamichiAKB’s pv, I’m happy to be dancing beside you~ Let’s go let’s go! we have to keep the ship sailing!

じゅゅゅゅりな~ my beloved!

Being the carefree person that Taishi is, he was still skipping to their usual meeting spot. The moment, he waved at her from a distance. It was funny how Yurina was the younger one between the both of them with how Taishi always acted. With how busy both of them has been, it was surprising how both of them would still have time to go to the mall and shop. “How long did you wait for me? I think I did have an improve compared to the last time we met.“ He said, remembering how late he was as all of it ended up in nagging from the female. “Thrice? I am touched. Can’t blame if I say I need my daily dose of Futari Saison.“ Patting the girl’s head, he walks ahead of Yurina. “When do I even buy unnecessary things?“ Looking back at her, tilting his head with a sly smirk on his face. “I’m paying for our meal, ok?“ The male said, standing still as he waited for Yurina. “Like usual. A fair trade for your company.“

“Only 10 minutes but you know better to not make me wait!” she huffed, arms crossed. she almost dodged seeing his hand make its way to the top of her head but kept still, with her infamous glare that wotas are always asking her to do in handshake events. “The last time we went out, you bought so many kitchen tools, saying it might be useful when we all know you can’t even cook. Or wait-- you haven’t been going to weird sites have you? Like buy-a-wife.com who knows, you’re Nakagawa Taishi for a reason.” she joked, still holding onto his bag unconsciously, eyes looking ahead. “I can pay for MYSELF.” she paused for a bit. “Nah I don’t want to pay for myself. If we’re going to a 5-star restaurant.”

Cameras flashing, cheeks a bit strained from all the smiling - welcome to Yua’s everyday life, yet the woman showed no signs of fatigue. She loves her work which meant being in front of the camera 24/7. Her head snapped towards the direction of that familiar voice, a tiny squeal escaping from her lips as she pranced towards her unexpected but lovely visitor. With a light pat on the head, she gently trapped Yurina’s cheeks and squished them. “Honestly, I didn’t. But gee, what a pleasant surprise to have you here !” She beamed and accepted the offered bottle with her eyes squinting in tease. “You just made your お姉ちゃん’s day ~” Laughter. “Fresh from work, Yucchi?”

“Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu.”

of course those were the words that comes out of her lips the most everyday, when she start her schedules. it was another shoot that the idol had to do alone and frankly, she didn’t like all the activities she gets alone at all. it was always lonely and she doesn’t say a single word at all when she’s in need of help. the young idol has learned to only rely on herself. this time, it wasn’t just a normal spring/summer shoot where the only thing she has to do is look at the camera and smile. she looked at the set and clothing that were hung on the rack. ‘kowai’ she thought, intimidated and confused. her eyes wandered around and she could only smile at whoever her eyes met with. after putting on the strange and confusing piece of clothing (well, she was too young to understand. and wasn’t into fashion at all.) she urgently needed to go to the washroom. it was a huuuuuge struggle to take off the piece, she didn’t even know where to start but that wasn’t the problem since she successfully took it off but the problem is, she didn’t know how to put it on at all. she tried to zip it from the back but she couldn’t feel the zip anywhere. ‘did i broke it when i took it off?’ she started to panic, her phone wasn’t with her, and due to how many compartments the clothing had, she couldn’t find the zip even when she looks at the mirror from her back.

[[ but truly though, why must it be on this day lmao
