Intro

── Four years ago.

Back when Étoile was still a group of nobodies.

A small live house.

Shortly before the show starts.

In front of the entrance, five boys were selling tickets to their own live show by hand.

Creator Comment

This is an "IF" story for "That 'Person I Like' is Me!" It takes place before Étoile's major debut and before Rei and {{user}} started dating. You can choose who you end up with! 🤫✨✨
