Chapter 1:
It is still 5:00 am but Rein is already awake and energetically prepares packed lunch and breakfast in the kitchen. She carefully selects the ingredients inside the pantry. Her silky blue hair is neatly tied and a hair clip is placed on her bangs to prevent it from covering her turquoise orbs. She wears a light blue dress flowing above her knees. It is stained with flour, eggs, butter, cream and chocolate. She can feel the frosty wind subtly touching her toes as she measures every ingredient meticulously.
"This is my fifth time preparing a simple milk chocolate cake and packed lunch. I hope it will taste good. I hope he will like it." Rein beamed.
After preheating the oven, Rein cautiously placed the cake inside and set the timer. She began cleaning the utensils and carefully placed them inside the cupboard. Thereafter, Rein heard her twin sister, Fine, walking downstairs towards the kitchen, Rein greeted her with a blissful smile carved on her face.
"Good morning Fine! Did you sleep well last night?" Rein asked cheerfully.
Fine, who is still somnolent, just responded with a simple nod.
"Uh, okay. Want some rolled egg and pancake?" Rein offered.
Fine immediately sat up straight and accepted Rein's offer with glistening eyes filled with delight.
"Thank you Rein!" Fine replied and gently smiled.
"D-does it tastes good?" Rein inquired in a very soft tone.
"You improved a lot Rein!" Fine replied while stuffing the pancake in her mouth.
"I'm glad to hear that. Thank you for that wonderful remark." Rein said as she watched her sister's joyful façade while eating.
"Why did you prepare all of this anyway?" Fine pried.
Fine's question sent chills down Rein's spine. "U-uh…w-well… Bright asked m-me out yesterday." Rein timidly answered and instantly covered her flustered face. Fine almost choked upon hearing Rein's answer.
"H-he…Bright...asked... you o-out?" Fine managed to utter between her coughs.
"This is the second time he asked me out so I suppose that everything will be all right. We're just going to have a picnic in the amusement park." Rein explained while lightly patting Fine's back.
"I understand. Good luck Rein!" Fine exclaimed after gulping the glass of water Rein gave her.
"Thank you." Rein stated followed by a sigh."
"Oh, I almost forgot, make sure to be back before dinner, mom said that we're going to her friends place tonight." Fine calmly said before putting her plate in the sink.
"Is it a formal dinner?" Rein inquired while checking the cake inside the oven.
"Uhm, I don't have an idea." Fine simply replied.
"Okay." Rein said. Subsequently, a series of thoughts flooded her mind. Rein was quite troubled by the unexplainable and strange feeling she feels deep within her. She averted her gaze from the chocolate cake and glanced at the calendar. 'Why do I feel this way? Is there something important that I don't remember?' Rein asked herself with uncertainty written all over her face.
"Fine, do you remember anything special about today?" Rein asked.
"Uh..."Fine placed her hand on her chin and thought of it for a matter of seconds, but nothing came out. "I'm sorry Rein, I do not remember anything. I guess you are just merely recalling something or you're just nervous because Bright asked you out."
"I agree. Perhaps, I'm just imagining things." Rein said as she headed to her room. However, she can feel that she certainly did forget something.
