The air crackles with tension after Ryoto’s question. Kazuhito is tongue tied for a second but tells Ryoto ‘No’ he can’t kiss him which makes Ryoto so embarrassed, he lies he was only joking. All of a sudden, Ryoto’s mother and sisters pay them a surprise visit. The girls chat around with Kazuhito and later they all enjoy the dinner his Mom brings over. She had brought Tonkatsu which is actually Ryoto’s worst food but Kazuhito’s favorite. The sisters fuss over Kazuhito, talking about what a great person he is but things become a bit tense when the sisters learn that Kazuhito who used y play baseball no longer could due to a shoulder injury. To diffuse the situation, Ryoto forces himself to eat the Tonkatsu, much to everyone’s amusement.
After dinner, Ryoto and Kazuhito escort his family out but while the girls are fussing over Kazuhito , Ryoto’s mother speaks to him privately. Her words are a bit strange and confusing to Ryoto as she advices him to listen to his heart so he can live a normal life.
The boys leave them at the bus station. On their way back home, Ryoto clarifies the situation between them, admitting that he had asked Kazuhito to kiss him because he suspected he liked him and wanted to test it out. Kazuhito finally comes clean and confesses his feelings, saying he likes Ryoto but doesn’t want to make him uncomfortable which is why he refused to kiss him. He would only do that if Ryoto likes him back. He tells Kazuhito that if he isn’t comfortable living with him, he would leavee but Ryoto admits he is confused by his own feelings.
Back in their apartment, Ryoto asks Kazuhito what he can do to make him feel better. Kazuhito suggests a sleep over. Ryoto gets excited when Kazuhito brings out a board game they used to play as kids. They reminisce about how they enjoyed the game with cola and other snacks so they go to the convenience store to buys them. They end up playing through out the night.
Ryoto falls asleep soon after. Kazuhito lays beside him stroking his hair lovingly as he recalls how Ryoto comforted him after watching a scary movie. To Ryoto’s sisters, Kazuhito had pretended not to be brave but seeing his scared, Ryoto had told him not to pretend when they were together.
Ryoto wakes and when he finds Kazuhito still awake fondling his hair, he pulls him into his body and embraces him tightly. Kazuhito is surprised at first but ends up hugging Ryoto back.
When Ryoto wakes up with Kazuhito, he panics and through out the day, he is unable to act normally around Kazuhito, flinching when he so much as touches him. At school, they meet with Yoshida who reminds Kazuhito of their staff dinner at the restaurant. Seeing Ryoto’s uncomfortable reaction, she thinks he would want to come with them but Ryoto denies it.
During lecture, Ryoto is unable to concentrate. Haruna who happened to take the same course as him, notices he’s not okay and asks him what the matter is. Ryoto tells him about a boy who likes someone but isn’t sure yet. What would the other person who likes him do. Haruna’s response that the other person would simply move on instead of getting stuck in an unrequited love, impacts Ryoto. Kazuhito sees them talking and Haruna is about to spill on their conversation but Ryoto stops him, telling him to keep it a secret.
Kazuhito is bothered by Ryoto’s behavior that when he’s unusually meant to go home early, he has mixed reactions and stays back at work until his boss tells him to go home. On getting back to the apartment, he finds everywhere dark so thinks Ryoto isn’t home but when he suddenly pops out from the couch, Kazuhito startles. They are both hungry so Ryoto invites him to eat noodles with him. Both have a tense moment when Kazuhito helps Ryoto bring out the noodles from the top shelf because his hand can’t reach.
The two start eating together and the tension between them lessens as they share jokes.
The next morning, after learning Ryoto won’t go out his sisters as he had planned, Kazuhito plans to ask Ryoto out but Haruna calls Ryoto, thereby ruining his intentions. Ryoto and Haruna meet at the library where Ryoto gives him some books. Haruna then calls him by his first name, a rare thing in Japan, used mostly by people who are extremely close. The two discuss and Haruna asks if he would be willing to help clean his house. Of course he would pay him. Jealous Kazuhito interrupts them, telling Haruna that Ryoto planned to go out with him on Sunday. They argue a little until Haruna gives in and leaves them. Kazuhito apologises to Ryoto for getting ahead of himself. He still asks him out and Ryoto happily agrees, surprising Kazuhito who feared he would reject him but Ryoto is already planning where they would go. Seeing him like this, Kazuhito says he is happy.
However, both are unaware that Haruna is watching them with a smile on his lips.
