...Aiko was an orphan. She lived in the house of gardenias with her fifty-five siblings and a mother....

... It was a great place accepting children of any age, race and religion. There, children are assigned to dorms based on their gender. Everyone in the house got along very well. Especially those who were assigned to be dormmates. Unfortunately, as they were assigning dorms, they ran out of female dorms, so Aiko had to share a room with five of her "brothers". One of the boys were named Fuji. Fuji was mature, and looked out for her. he was always dealing with her nonsense, so they got along very well. They did everything together. They'd play with each other, tell stories and share their toys. The other four treated her very well too. But of course, as all kids did, they fought a lot. But it was never serious. just simple arguments between children, it was never physical because mother hated it. ...

...After a while, she began to grow feelings for fuji. He was her first crush. A love rooted from the innocence of two children. Little did she know, he liked her too. ...

...One day, she mustered up her courage and decided to finally confess to him, upon hearing the confession, he happily accepted and told her that he had a crush on her for a long time as well....

...Aiko was overjoyed hearing this. she was so happy she could live off of the happiness for another 10 years....

...However, that happiness didn't last. It never did. they were all destroyed as soon as the two got together....

...Later that day, a wealthy couple went to the orphanage....

...They decided to adopt two beautiful children....

...The children in the orphanage would normally be happy about it. Getting a new family, and starting a new life, to them, it was a chance. a chance for them to start over and have a shot at a new life. outside of the white walls of the orphanage. it was a magical thing for them....

...But these two kids certainly were not happy....

...They now knew that their love would never bloom amongst the weeds they called a family....

... Aiko held on to her false hope. A pipe dream that it would all work out someday. But Fuji gave up on them.He let go of their old memories that he deemed useless. He broke her heart. Her fragile heart. Could she ever recover from this grief? Could anyone? Her secret crush had finally worked out, just for it to be destroyed by the thing she had longed for the most....

...Aiko knew about it, however, she couldn't let go of their beautiful memories. It was painful. Why did this have to happen to her right after she found happiness? after her feelings were reciprocated....
