He becomes uncomfortable with the attention he receives from Runa during school hours and instead suggests they go on a date over the weekend. He struggles to decide where to take her before settling on letting her choose, resulting in Ryuto and Runa going to the mall together. Later, she fails to respond to his text for hours before eventually asking to meet up and Ryuto becomes convinced that she plans on breaking up with him. However, he is relieved when she instead gives him a present. Ryuto admits that in middle school he asked a girl out but was rejected, which damaged his self-confidence.

Maria is assigned to sit next to Ryuto in class, but he resolves to put her out of his mind. Nichole privately meets with restaurant Ryuto to remind him of Runa's upcoming birthday. A mutual friend secretly photographs them talking and sends the picture in group chat Runa is a member of, oblivious of her and Ryuto's relationship. Runa shows the photo to Ryuto but is not upset by it. Based on advice from Nichole, Ryuto takes Runa to various bubble tea shops for her birthday, and at the end she asks to keep the map of everywhere they visited as her only present. Later at school, Ryuto overhears malicious rumors about Runa and Nichole wonders who could have started the rumors. In class, Maria seemingly begins to flirt with Ryuto. He attempts to defuse the flirting by saying he has a girlfriend but refuses to say who it is out of fear of humiliating her. He sees Runa entering a classroom with a male student who asks her out. She says she has a boyfriend but won't say who to respect his wishes, not because she is embarrassed. Maria indulges in the rumors about Runa by claiming that she only uses her boyfriends for expensive dates. Angered, Ryuto defends Runa and admits that he is her boyfriend.

Ryuto confides in his friends that he hasn't kissed Runa yet and isn't sure how to initiate. They settle on him trying to hold her hand first, which Ryuto eventually succeeds with while helping her into a canoe on a date. On the river, they both confess that they have wanted to be more outwardly affectionate and Runa kisses Ryuto for the first time. Runa also asks that Ryuto call her by her given name, since he has only addressed her as "Shirakawa-san" while she has used his given name. Meanwhile, Maria decides to become more like Runa so she can steal Ryuto from her.

Runa suggests that she and Ryuto go to the beach to celebrate their one-month anniversary. Maria subtly attempts to grow closer to Ryuto, but he squashes all her efforts. When semester finals end, Runa and Ryuto enjoy a fun day at the beach until typhoon hits the coast, forcing them to spend the night at the resort. Ryuto privately frets over sharing a night alone with Runa. They go to sleep beside each other on futons and Runa suggests they have sex. After further discussion, she confesses that their kiss on the river was the first time she initiated a kiss out of her own desires and not her partner's, and she wants a similar experience when they take the next step. They chastely embrace and fall asleep holding hands. The next day they go home and Ryuto runs into Nichole, who tells him how Runa's past boyfriends all broke up with within a few months her because they found her overbearing and she was cheated on multiple times. Maria, saddened after Ryuto ignores her texts, impersonates her sister and calls him asking to meet at school.

Ryuto realizes "Runa" is actually Maria. Despite being caught, Maria still wants to continue and offers to pretend to be Runa while they have sex, claiming that it will be better since she is a virgin, unlike Runa. Still, he refuses to cheat on Runa. In a park, Maria professes that she is attracted to Ryuto and wanted to share one non-committal night with him and apologizes. Ryuto takes pity on Maria and consoles her. The next day, an out-of-context picture of them is shared around the school. Runa discovers that Maria was Ryuto's former crush, saddening her. Nichole assumes Ryuto has cheated and angrily rebukes him. Two weeks into summer vacation, Yusuke and Ren see Runa with another guy at the beach and send a picture to Ryuto who panics and runs to find her. They meet at the beach and Ryuto learns that the man is Runa's uncle. Ryuto tells Runa that Maria made a pass at him but he turned her down; she says she was afraid to confront him and apologizes for making a hasty judgement.

They walk home from school together and Runa expresses a desire to get closer Ryuto. Arriving home, she invites him inside and suddenly propositions him for sex, but Ryuto is unable to bring himself to accept.

He becomes uncomfortable with the attention he receives from Runa during school hours and instead suggests they go on a date over the weekend. He struggles to decide where to take her before settling on letting her choose, resulting in Ryuto and Runa going to the mall together. Later, she fails to respond to his text for hours before eventually asking to meet up and Ryuto becomes convinced that she plans on breaking up with him. However, he is relieved when she instead gives him a present. Ryuto admits that in middle school he asked a girl out but was rejected, which damaged his self-confidence. They both decide to focus on enjoying their present relationship, while Runa's friend Nichole remains suspicious of Ryuto.

A mutual friend secretly photographs them talking and sends the picture in group chat Runa is a member of, oblivious of her and Ryuto's relationship. Runa shows the photo to Ryuto but is not upset by it. Based on advice from Nichole, Ryuto takes Runa to various bubble tea shops for her birthday, and at the end she asks to keep the map of everywhere they visited as her only present. Later at school, Ryuto overhears malicious rumors about Runa and Nichole wonders who could have started the rumors. In class, Maria seemingly begins to flirt with Ryuto. He attempts to defuse the flirting by saying he has a girlfriend but refuses to say who it is out of fear of humiliating her. He sees Runa entering a classroom with a male student who asks her out. She says she has a boyfriend but won't say who to respect his wishes, not because she is embarrassed. Maria indulges in the rumors about Runa by claiming that she only uses her boyfriends for expensive dates. Angered, Ryuto defends Runa and admits that he is her boyfriend.

They settle on him trying to hold her hand first, which Ryuto eventually succeeds with while helping her into a canoe on a date. On the river, they both confess that they have wanted to be more outwardly affectionate and Runa kisses Ryuto for the first time. Runa also asks that Ryuto call her by her given name, since he has only addressed her as "Shirakawa-san" while she has used his given name.

Runa suggests that she and Ryuto go to the beach to celebrate their one-month anniversary. Maria subtly attempts to grow closer to Ryuto, but he squashes all her efforts. When semester finals end, Runa and Ryuto enjoy a fun day at the beach until typhoon hits the coast, forcing them to spend the night at the resort. Ryuto privately frets over sharing a night alone with Runa. They go to sleep beside each other on futons and Runa suggests they have sex. After further discussion, she confesses that their kiss on the river was the first time she initiated a kiss out of her own desires and not her partner's, and she wants a similar experience when they take the next step. They chastely embrace and fall asleep holding hands. The next day they go home and Ryuto runs into Nichole, who tells him how Runa's past boyfriends all broke up with within a few months her because they found her overbearing and she was cheated on multiple times. Maria, saddened after Ryuto ignores her texts, impersonates her sister and calls him asking to meet at school.

Ryuto realizes "Runa" is actually Maria. Despite being caught, Maria still wants to continue and offers to pretend to be Runa while they have sex, claiming that it will be better since she is a virgin, unlike Runa. Still, he refuses to cheat on Runa. In a park, Maria professes that she is attracted to Ryuto and wanted to share one non-committal night with him and apologizes. Ryuto takes pity on Maria and consoles her. The next day, an out-of-context picture of them is shared around the school. Runa discovers that Maria was Ryuto's former crush, saddening her. Nichole assumes Ryuto has cheated and angrily rebukes him. Two weeks into summer vacation, Yusuke and Ren see Runa with another guy at the beach and send a picture to Ryuto who panics and runs to find her.
