This episode begins with Sahashi, getting recognised as a makeup artist and being chosen to be the make-up artist of a beautiful famous model Rima who is the muse of the company’s brand. She will be on tour for two months so Sahashi has to go with her. Natsume isn’t happy, especially considering that Sahashi and Rima were very close friends. He even asks about their relationship making Sahashi assume he might be jealous but he denies it.
Just then, a handsome makeup artist Nanjo appears. He is the stand-in for Sahashi and assumes they are in a relationship due to their close proximity but Natsume quickly denies it. Nanjo is blunt as he confesses he likes men and Natsume is his type. Sahashi instantly becomes protective, hinting to Nanjo that Natsume is his and points out the earring he bought for Natsume which he now wears. Nanjo decides to back up but doesn’t really give up.
Sahashi leaves and Natsume tries to deny the fact that he seriously misses him. He’s also jealous seeing Sahashi and Rima together on every magazine cover. In the midst of it all, Nanjo flirts with him. One day, Natsume finally decides to let down his pride and call Sahashi who is very happy to hear from him but Natsume gets sad when he hears Rima in the background calling Sahashi to turn off her water.
Due to this, he gets jealous and petty, agreeing to follow Nanjo to his house to see his new sets of cosmetics he brought from Paris. In Nanjo’s apartment, he tries to badmouth Sahashi over his bad behavior but Natsume defends him, explaining that he is a hardworking person and that his behavior has improved. It’s clear to Nanjo that Natsume really likes Sahashi even though he denies it. Yet, he is lonely. Nanjo pushes him to the floor trying to take advantage of him when Sahashi suddenly calls. When Natsume refuses to pick his call, Nanjo is disappointed and stops, calling Natsume a cunning person and that he feels sorry for Sahashi because Natsume is confused.
Since that day, Natsume hardly concentrates at work, leading Nanjo to scold him for not doing his job properly.
One day on his way home, Natsume ponders over his real feelings for Sahashi realizing that he really is cunning because he keeps restraining himself from him even though he has been open to him. He is surprised when he suddenly sees Sahashi at his front door. Sahashi immediately hugs him. Unable to stand it, Natsume admits his jealousy of Sahashi and Rima together but Sahashi clears up the misunderstanding. He and Rima are only friends plus she even has a girlfriend. He tells Natsume he missed him and Natsume admits the same.
The next day, Nanjo tells Natsume he is still interested but this time, Natsume is clear about his feelings and says he likes Sahashi. Just then Sahashi appears, thanking Nanjo for taking care of Natsume. Nanjo leaves them and Natsume congratulates Sahashi for his achievement. Sahashi confesses he’s doing this just to earn his praise. He teases that Natsume is falling in love with him and asks him to call him by his name but Natsume refuses since Sahashi has never really said he likes him. Sahashi laughs and brushes Natsume’s hair. When Natsume sees him smiling, he realizes he has totally fallen in love with Sahashi.
In the new episode, Sahashi gets transferred to another store specializing in makeup while Natsume becomes the new chief of the current store. The staff all have dinner to celebrate the old chief who is getting transferred and Sahashi hides his jealousy over Natsume and Tanouchi’s closeness. Afterwards, Sahashi gives Natsume a spare key to his apartment. Natsume is secretly happy about this.
Natsume finds it hard to be a chief. In addition, Sahashi introduces him to a new worker Harukama who is quite clumsy.
Sanachi invites Natsume over to his place where they talk about their day. Just then, Natsume receives a call from Tanouchi who wants to hold event sales at his store. Natsume agrees but Sanachi thinks it’s too soon as it requires a lot of preparations. He thinks Natsume agreed because he likes Tanouchi but he denies it.
However, Natsume gets too busy to spend time with Sahashi. Nanjo who is now Sahashi’s new co-worker at the new store informs him he will be accompanying him to Paris for a two weeks training program. Natsume finds out when he is talking to Tanouchi about the sales events. Tanouchi is quick to notice his discomfort and advises Natsume to talk to him. It would help to speak with someone he loves. He reminds him that Sahashi had already claimed him as his. He also tells him he supports their relationship and this makes Natsume smile.
That night, he enters Sahashi’s apartment and finds him asleep on the couch holding a material about the paris training. Natsume sits beside him and brings their heads together. He touches his hand and talks about how he wants to be like him. However, he leaves before Sahashi wakes. He begins to consider living with Sahashi as he had once asked him if they could live together.
Natsume gets overwhelmed during the event. Sahashi is still trying to contact Natsume when Nanjo informs him that he saw Natsume at the event and he wasn’t looking good. He wonders why they don’t see each other much when they are a couple.
Immediately, Sahashi comes to Natsume’s home and takes care of him, risking catching his cold from him. Natsume apologizes for not keeping in touch as he says he worked hard to make Sahashi proud of him. To his surprise, Sahashi asks him again to live with him. He knows that he came by that night and asks Natsume to rely on him but Natsume gets angry and refuses, telling Sahashi he can’t be capable like him, hinting that he’s envious.
