Y/n is at the bathroom again, fulfilling her cleaning duties, but this time she's not complaining about it anymore. 'I should get something from the Astronomy Club after this.'

      After Y/n has mopped the bathroom floor she puts the mop on the side as she removed her gloves. Hanako is still playing hanafuda with the Mokkes. "Hanako-kun, I'm gonna get something at my club I'll be right back!"

      Hanako nodded. Y/n smiled as she dashed to the Astronomy Clubroom. She grabbed her favorite books about Constellations and Stars. Y/n entered the bathroom and saw that he was still playing with the Mokkes.

      Y/n sat on the bathroom floor, why not? She recently mopped the floor so there's nothing unsanitary about it. She opened the book as she began reading.

      Her eyes were glued to the book, not knowing that Hanako was next to her already. "Watcha readin?" he asked. Y/n yelped as she saw that the ghost was peeking over to her shoulder.

      "H-Hanako-kun!" Y/n exclaimed as she held the book close to her chest. "You scared me!"

      "Sorry." Hanako pouted as he squeezed her shoulder. Y/n smiled at him.

      "It's fine." Y/n smiled softly at him. "Anyways, I'm reading about Astronomy, since I'm in the Astronomy club." she answered as she handed him one of the books that she got.
     
      "You like Astronomy, too?!" Hanako questioned as his eyes brightened up with joy. Y/n nodded vigorously.
     
      "Oh, I do love Astronomy!" Y/n told him as she grabbed his cold hands. "It's something about I love for a very long time."

      Y/n let go of his hands from her warm touch. Y/n puts her head on Hanako's shoulder that made him stiffen and blush at the action she was making. "Since we're the best of friends, how about you get to know my background story."

      Y/n pulled out her phone as she showed Hanako a picture of her and her younger twin sister. "You're a twin?" he asked.

      "Guess which one am I in that picture?"

      Hanako pointed at the cheerful Hina on the picture. "Is this you?"

      Y/n shakes her head no. "Nope, this is me." she corrected as she pointed the picture of her smiling next to Hina. "I'm the older twin, she's my younger twin. Two minutes apart."

      "I always thought you're the cheerful one though." Hanako tells her as he brushed her hair using his fingers. Y/n chuckled as she puts her phone back to her bag.

      "No, Hanako." Y/n looked at Hanako with a sad expression on her face. "I always get misfortune."

      "I maybe the oldest but it looked like that Hina, my younger twin, is my parent's favorite child." Y/n tells him as she hugged her knees together. "Hina and I were different but we can understand each other, she's the energetic one and I'm more of the calm but crackheaded."

      "Hina and I looked exactly alike and you can't even tell it apart. We did this thing when we were in Junior High since we go to different schools. We would go to the bathroom to switch our uniforms." Y/n laughed bitterly. "She would fulfill her duties as me in Kamome, while I do her thing in Wakamori."

      Y/n's face turned into a frown. "We made a promise together that we'll stay by each others side until then."
      "Where is your twin now?" Hanako asked.

      "She died two years ago, three days before going to our Third Year of Junior High."

      Hanako's face went soft, he wrapped an arm around Y/n to comfort her. "Then we heard that she got hit by a white truck while crossing the street. A boy was a witness which turned out to be her admirer."

      "Hina!" Y/n's voice cracked as she saw her sister on the hospital bed. She sobbed as she took her hand and brought it closer to her face.

      Hina's eyes were still shut, but the heart rate monitor is beeping slowly which indicates her heart rate. Their parents sobbed at the back. "Hina, don't do this to me, don't give up!"

      The sound of the heart rate monitor became a long beep the room become silent. Y/n looked at the monitor in disbelief, there's nothing she could do.

      Hina is dead, two years ago to be exact. Y/n fell into her knees and cried. "HINAAAA!"

      Y/n squeezed her hands together. "Hina didn't even get to say goodbye to me, or to my parents, not even in my dreams."

      "I miss Hina being a chatterbox, energetic, eccentric, cheerful and most of all a loving younger sister."

      Y/n felt Hanako squeezing her hands. He smiled fondly at her, reassuring her that it will be alright. Hanako enveloped the girl with a hug as he caressed her hair.

      "Oneechan!"

      'Hina?'

      "It's okay Oneechan! You don't have to held back tears, I don't want you to feel hurt because of me!"

      'I'm sorry Hina, I failed as an older sister.'

      "No you didn't Oneechan! I'm glad you are my big sister! I love you so much Oneechan!"

      Hanako felt Y/n shake, he rubbed circles behind her back as he held her tightly. "You can let your cries out, don't worry."

      Y/n shakily grasped the back of his shirt so it looked like she's hugging him back. Tears came out of her eyes as she cried on to Hanako.

      Hanako looked at Y/n's glossy e/c orbs and her tear stained mochi cheeks. Hanako reached his right hand to touch Y/n's left cheek.

      It's the same feeling that Y/n felt at that time. Hanako tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled warmly at her. Y/n's heart was racing but she managed to hide it with a smile.

      "Haaah!" Y/n groaned in satisfaction as she wiped her tears. "That was one hell of an emotional phase."

      Hanako raised his pinky at her. "Y/n, promise me that we'll always be soulmates no matter what."

      Y/n intertwine her pinky with Hanako's. The same phrase she said when she and Hina promised together rolled out of her tongue.

      "I promise."

      The Mokke came over to Y/n to offer her some candy. "Here! Have some candy!" they said.

      One Mokke jumped on top of her head. Y/n chuckled as she took a candy from them, she offered one to Hanako but he just raised his hand as a pass.

      Y/n arrived home after her emotional phase, she saw that her parents are at the dinner table already eating without her. "There's katsudon on the kitchen, just get a bowl and eat with us." her mom say while her eyes are glued to her smartphone.

      Y/n nodded as she took a bowl from the cabinent and put katsudon in it. She went to the dinner table and clapped her hands together. "Itadakimasu!"

      "You went home late again." her mom told her. "What's the reason?"

      "I have to clean a bathroom and go to club activities." Y/n answered while eating her food. "Why'd you ask? You never ask about my day at school."

      "Besides, you didn't even care when I got home late at night two times in a row." Y/n added.

      Her mother and father were shocked at her words. Y/n shrugged as she continued eating her food. "Y/n what kind of behavior are you bringing in this household?"

      "The real me." Y/n answered as she put down her chopsticks calmly. "I never complained about you guys not caring about me."

      "You changed so much ever since Hina passed away." her father reminded her.

      "You guys kept asking me about my day, but you never ask if I was ever okay." Y/n ran upstairs to her room to escape from their long ass lecture.

      Y/n opened her bedroom window to see the stars that were dotted across the dark blue sky. "What should I do, Hina?" she asked.

      But the stars remained twinkling as they should be.
