~One by his parents~
Chinen woke up unexpectedly early for his day break and it seems like he cannot go back to his dreamland anymore. He crawled out of his bed and decided to go downstairs to greet his family. As he stepped out of his room the scent of the breakfast had given him energy and reason to be hyper. He gleefully skipped down the stair flights and jumped in their kitchen where he found his mother and father preparing the table.
“Saya, wake Yuri up if you don’t mind” Mrs. Chinen demanded as she placed the plates on the table. Chinen frowned and pouted looking at his mother in disbelief.
Chinen turned around heading back to his room. He takes no notice of anything else rather than being down for one reason. His mother mistook him as his sister. He’s looking at his steps not realizing walking pass by the mirror hanged in their hall. He hadn’t realized that he was wearing something he shouldn’t have. A paired night clothes, which is powder pink in color with some baby bears as the design
~Two by the ice cream vendor~
Chinen was still sulking though his mother had apologized to him already for the mistake that morning. He’s in foul mood already and he decided that nothing would make him feel better. He groaned as his mobile phone started to ring. He grabbed it and looked at the caller’s name. It was Yamada. Chinen hesitated at first but he pressed the answer button.
“Hai?” Chinen greeted grumpily
“Do you have something to do?” Yamada asked
“None, why?” Chinen asked sitting properly on the edge of his bed
“There will be a festival and there are fireworks later as well, want to come?” Yamada invited. Chinen frowned a little but still smiled.
“Sure” Chinen beamed.
He was invited along with the rest of 7. The time they reached the festival they started going to different stalls to play and to eat as well.
The five of them spotted an ice cream stall and headed to it to try the offered soft ice cream. Yamada ordered first but they are all shocked when the vendor looked at Chinen holding a cone of soft vanilla flavored ice cream.
“Here’s a little gift for such a cute girl” the vendor smiled to Chinen and passed the ice cream “It’s free” he added before working on Yamada’s order.
Chinen stood there holding the ice cream, shocked.
~Three by a little girl~
Chinen was nearing to tears and was sniffing as they glide in the middle of the crowd. The HS7 members have given up on comforting the little guy from the silly mistake of the vendor. Chinen stopped walking and the rest was ahead of him that the time he looked up they are out of his sight already. He turned around in hope of finding the members. Chinen was about to call their names when someone wailed beside him. He looked down to see a little girl in orange yukata crying hard.
“Are you lost?” Chinen asked as he kneeled down in front of the girl. The girl nodded down and sniffed.
“Then let’s look for your mommy” Chinen smiled to the girl who smiled as well. He held the hand of the girl and started to wander off to look for the woman the girl described to him. For some reasons they even managed to play around while they are in the midst of searching. Chinen won small stuff toys for the girl and even caught a gold fish for her comfort.
“Ah~ my mommy is there” the little girl pointed out to the stall of polices where a middle age woman is desperate on explaining things. The little girl and Chinen approached them. The woman thanked Chinen deeply for helping her daughter.
“Be careful next time” Chinen smiled to the little girl patting her head lightly.
“Let’s play again Oneechan sometime” the little girl waved goodbye to Chinen. Chinen was dumbstruck again to his spot.
~Four by an old lady~
Chinen was spiritless already as he searched for Yamada and the others. He was swinging a little in his walk not minding even if people do bump on him. He stopped in front of a stall full of mirrors showing his whole appearance in pieces. He’s just wearing a dark shade of purple shirt under a black hooded parka and shorts and converse. How does he look like a girl?
Chinen sighed in disbelief, thrice for the day people mistook him as a girl a little more of it he’ll be insane already. He scratched his head and continued to be gloomy in searching for his friends. He wandered off a little more before deciding to rest on a bench. It’s dusk already and in one hour the fireworks will begin. He sighed and looked down but something made him look up. An old lady is approaching him with a smile. Chinen forced one smile to not to disappoint the lady.
“I’ve been watching you for long now, what made you so gloomy my dear?” the lady asked
“I got separated from my friends” Chinen half lied, it’s true anyways
“Cheer up or you’ll grow old early” the lady chuckled somehow this made Chinen feel a bit comfortable
“I understand” Chinen smiled
“What a wonderful smile you got, here” the lady nodded down and handed a stringed red rubber ball to Chinen who accepted it happily
“Thank you very much” Chinen thanked almost forgetting the reason of his gloominess
“You are such a cute young girl” the lady chuckled again and turned around leaving Chinen in shock and in stupor.
~Five by Ryutaro~
Ryutaro was giving up already looking for Chinen. They had been searching for him quite long now but still no sign of the little one. They had separated ways to easily look for him. He was about to give up when he spotted the lost one sitting on a bench. Ryutaro pouted and put his hands in his pockets and started to approach Chinen. He stopped in the midst as Chinen looked up with a pout, tears rolling down his cheeks. Ryutaro can feel his heart shrinking to the sight but something else made him feel warm. Chinen’s creamy white skin stands out though it is already dark. The small guy is even holding a red rubber ball and he was just sitting there gloomily like a girl that got rejected.
Ryutaro stared for a while but a hand slapped his back starling him.
“Good work on finding him” Yamada smiled
“Uwaah~ he looks so cute” Yuto sniggered. The two of them headed to Chinen who pounced at them and started to wail completely.
Ryutaro watched as the oldest among them walked ahead of him to approach the three.
“Keito-kun” Ryutaro called out
“Hmm?” Keito responded and looked back to Ryutaro
“Am I just imagining things a while ago that I thought Chinen looks like a girl?” Ryutaro asked in a whisper way enough not to be heard by the wailing boy
“Hmm~ I don’t know it’s you after all who thought of it, right?” Keito answered and smiled. The two of them approached the three
“Four times for this day, my mom, that stupid vendor, a little girl and an old woman mistook me as a girl. Huh~ one more of mistaking me as a girl I will crash their bones” Chinen scoffed and Ryutaro froze “Five times is too much” he added
“But Ryutaro said you look like a girl a while ago” Keito blurted out and this time Chinen turned his head to Ryutaro’s direction briskly
“Honotu ni?” Chinen raised an eyebrow and clenched his teeth
