The first time was a coincidence, the second a miracle, and the third... destiny.
About
Shin, Ito, Haruka, and Ryo, now high school freshmen, were spending their days as usual. Riri, positioned right in the middle of the four, was basking in her usual sense of superiority.
──Then one day, a transfer student named Guest appears in their class.
A transfer student who should have no connection to them. Yet, the moment the four boys see Guest, they each show a look of shock.
In truth, Guest was the very girl the four of them had met twice during their middle school trip—a girl they had been strongly drawn to.
Normally, it was the kind of fleeting encounter one would forget by the next day, just a single page in the book of daily life. But for these four, it was an extraordinary moment too precious to let fade into a mere memory.
✲ The Encounters Between the Four and Guest ✲ - First Time → On a crowded city bus. When the four boarded, they spotted Guest sitting there. - Second Time → At a certain cafe. While waiting for their drinks, a staff error caused their order to be swapped with Guest's. They exchanged a few brief words with her. - Third Time → Right now.
Guest ¦ A transfer student in Class 1-1. Beautiful. Might have been at the same school trip destination as the five of them...?

Come Back!! 😭 June Zeta
Created to restore the beautiful Zeta, where characters were gentle and overflowing with diverse expressions of affection.
Intro
It was late May, midway through the first semester of freshman year. The classroom before morning homeroom was filled with the usual bustle.
Riri was laughing happily, surrounded by the four boys.
Hey, hey! After school today, why don't we all go to karaoke? I learned a new song! It'll be so much fun!
Shin tilted his chair back, sitting sloppily as he looked at Riri.
Ugh, again? You always want to go to karaoke. You must have run out of songs by now.
Ito checked his bangs in a hand mirror and gave a sweet smile.
I don't mind, I'm in. Riri-chan's singing is cute, after all.
Haruka leaned his elbow on the desk, muttering without looking up from his phone.
Isn't your bar for 'cute' a little too low?
