00:00:00The day everything began, Yu was at the school festival selling preserved flower accessories

00:00:03with a constipated face. But no one even looks his way and most of his products go unsold.

00:00:08And he drags his sorry self back to the clubroom. But when he returns to the clubroom, he finds a

00:00:12girl waiting for him. Her name is Himari, a fellow student who had stayed behind at the stall after

00:00:16Yu left. To his surprise, she has sold most of the products he struggled to sell. She hands him

00:00:20the money she earned and lightly mocks him for giving up too soon. He explains that his dream

00:00:23is to open a flower accessory studio, even though his parents find his hobby fruity and want him

00:00:28to pursue a more stable job. Himari initially laughs at his sob story but admits that she kind of

00:00:32respects the grind. Then, for some reason, she offers to help him sell more of his stuff.

00:00:36From that moment, the strange friendship between Yu and Himari begins. Fast forward two years and

00:00:41somehow Yu has actually made progress. He is now running a small online business selling flower

00:00:45accessories and Himari is still helping him out, promoting his stuff with her charm. One afternoon,

00:00:50Yu's in his usual habitat. The lab, drowning in flower petals and loneliness when Himari sneaks up

00:00:54and jumps on his back like a clingy cat. She complains that he's ignoring her again and

00:00:58Yu immediately turns into an angry house husband, scolding her for distracting him. But she

00:01:02tightens her grip and teases him, indicating that they've become the closest of friends.

00:01:06Two years ago at the science club when they managed to sell all the accessories,

00:01:10Yu had asked her why she helped him in the first place. Himari said she just liked accessories and

00:01:14didn't want his effort to rot in the void. Yu, being the simp he is, gave her a handmade necklace

00:01:18as a thank you and Himari started wearing it every day like it was a trophy. In the present,

00:01:22they're chilling at a sushi restaurant, discussing life in the most cringy way possible.

00:01:26Himari mentions she's been getting modeling offers, but she keeps rejecting them just to

00:01:30stay by Yu's side. She jokes that if he doesn't open his store by the time he's 30, she'll marry

00:01:34him out of pity. During dinner, the topic of relationships comes up and Himari says Yu's

00:01:39dating life is non-existent because she's always too close to him. She admits she's gone on a few

00:01:43dates but nothing serious. Then she casually drops the bomb that her parents might arrange her

00:01:47marriage since she belongs to a very wealthy family. Yu becomes dejected by the news, but Himari laughs it

00:01:52off, saying she was just joking. The next day at school, Himari's working on her laptop when a

00:01:56random senior walks up and asks if she's dating Yu. She refuses to answer and simply walks away,

00:02:01calling him an idiot for being so ugly. But deep down, she wonders about her own feelings,

00:02:05uncertain whether what she feels for Yu is simple friendship or something more. She tells herself

00:02:09that if Yu ever falls for someone else, she'll accept it as long as their bond remains unbroken.

00:02:13Meanwhile, Yu stands by a vending machine after class, lost in thought, when a hot girl with long

00:02:18black hair walks up beside him. He immediately turns red like a tomato, but then suddenly notices

00:02:22that she's wearing one of his goofy bracelets that hadn't sold well. Before he can say anything,

00:02:27the bracelet suddenly snaps and breaks. Feeling bad, Yu offers to fix it, but the girl looks

00:02:31irritated and tells him to mind his own business. Embarrassed by the incident, Yu runs away from

00:02:36there like he has explosive diarrhea. Later in class, Himari keeps texting Yu after hearing about

00:02:40the vending machine incident. She teases him endlessly, calling the girl his secret admirer. Yu eventually

00:02:46gets annoyed and yells at her, only to earn a scolding from the teacher. After class, Himari is

00:02:50full of energy like a chimp on shrooms while Yu remains silent. This is when a classmate named

00:02:55Shinji appears, calling Yu his old friend. Himari's cheerful mood instantly shifts when she sees him.

00:03:00As it turns out, the two had dated briefly back in middle school, though Himari insists it had only

00:03:04been out of pity. She then peeks out the window and loudly announces to everyone that Shinji used to

00:03:09plow multiple backsides with his biological instrument back then. The two argue aggressively until Yu

00:03:15interrupts, asking why Shinji came. Shinji explains that the girl Yu met earlier was his friend Rian,

00:03:20who wanted her bracelet repaired but didn't have the courage to ask him. Later, during lunch, Himari

00:03:24and Yu discuss Ryan's sudden appearance. Himari recalls that Ryan's older sister had helped promote

00:03:28Yu's junk after the school festival years ago, which is likely how Ryan ended up with one. After

00:03:33school, Ryan visits Yu again so he can fix the broken bracelet. While he studies it carefully,

00:03:37Ryan misreads his silence as hesitation and assumes he can't repair it. She leans towards him,

00:03:41looking possessed, but then Himari shows her angry reflection in a mirror, causing her to stumble

00:03:45and fall backward. A furious Ryan grabs Himari by the face and lifts her up, accusing her of making

00:03:50fun of her just like they used to when they were younger. Himari retaliates by grabbing Ryan's

00:03:54bazookas, but it only makes things worse and she ends up getting manhandled around the room.

00:03:58Eventually, Himari is forced to sit aside while Yu quietly finishes repairing the bracelet. Himari

00:04:02comments softly that when Yu focuses on his work, he becomes a different person, completely absorbed

00:04:07by his craft. When Yu finishes, he finds both girls laughing as it turns out they had secretly

00:04:11tied his hair into small braids while he was working. He panics like they've just destroyed

00:04:15his life, which only makes them laugh even harder. Later, Himari and Rishun have a heart-to-heart gossip

00:04:20while waiting for the bus. Ryan asks about Himari's relationship with Yu and she explains that they've

00:04:24been best friends since middle school. Ryan hesitates but admits she's always admired the unknown

00:04:29creator of her bracelet and now realizes it was Yu. She says her mother once told her that people with

00:04:34pure hearts can create things that bring happiness to others and she believes Yu is one of them.

00:04:38Hearing those words leaves Himari silent as she fears her friendship with Yu might be in danger.

00:04:43The next morning, Yu is having breakfast, still thinking about how he was approached by a baddie

00:04:47like Rian. His sister Sakura walks in and immediately notices that he seems more tired

00:04:51and distracted than usual. She presses him for an explanation and Yu tells her everything about Ryan

00:04:56and how she asked him to fix her bracelet. Sakura points out that this might actually be good for

00:05:00her loser brother because all his recent accessories have started to look similar,

00:05:03made only with Himari in mind. She thinks that talking to another girl could inspire him to

00:05:07improve his work. Yu tries to brush it off, insisting that his sales are already going well,

00:05:12but Sakura counters that he hasn't had a single repeat customer. She reminds him of the deal he

00:05:16made. If he fails to open his store by the age of 30, he will have to give up and

00:05:19take over

00:05:20the family convenience store and possibly even marry Himari. At school, Yu can't stop thinking about

00:05:25what his sister said. He realizes she might be right. His useless shop doesn't attract repeat

00:05:30customers because he has only been making what he personally likes. Elsewhere, the cunning Shinji

00:05:34approaches Rian and offers to help her win over Yu, but she doesn't say a word. Just then, Himari

00:05:39approaches and gets into a brief argument with Shinji for absolutely no reason. It is only broken up

00:05:43when two girls from the tennis club come to call Shinji, forcing him to leave. Himari then tries to

00:05:48strike up a conversation with Rian, but it only makes her uncomfortable. Later, Yu is watering the

00:05:52flowers in the school garden when Himari suddenly jumps on his back like a desperate woman.

00:05:56She tells him she noticed how distracted he seemed during class and wants to know what's going on.

00:06:00Yu explains that he's considering making some improvements to his accessories,

00:06:03exploring romantic themes as suggested by his sister. Himari laughs and teases him for focusing

00:06:08on romance, but Yu tells her that he wants to think about the customer's perspective,

00:06:11not just his own preferences. Himari agrees enthusiastically, surprising Yu as he always

00:06:15assumed she wasn't, interested in romantic stuff. The conversation then turns a bit cringy as they

00:06:20talk about love and attraction. Himari asks if he likes girls like Rian, but Yu makes it clear that

00:06:24he's a weirdo who doesn't have any urge to kiss girls. Himari argues that by experiencing it once,

00:06:29they could understand feelings of closeness. She proposes that they try kissing as neither of

00:06:33them has experienced it before. Yu thinks it's a bad idea because they're friends, but she playfully

00:06:37grabs his hand and gets close to him. At this point, Yu seemingly gives in and he closes his eyes

00:06:42to

00:06:42brace for impact, but nothing happens. He learns that it was just a prank, and Himari bursts out laughing,

00:06:49seeing his dyslexic reaction. After the playful banter, she tells him to keep Saturday free,

00:06:53but refuses to say what she has planned, leaving him even more nervous and curious.

00:06:57When Saturday arrives, Yu is picked up by Himari's overly energetic brother, Hibari,

00:07:01who immediately teases him, showing how much he's missed him. They chat briefly about Sakura,

00:07:06and Hibari reveals that she was very popular and talented during school. Hearing this makes Yu a bit

00:07:10self-conscious as he's the complete polar opposite of his sister, untalented and ugly. But Hibari reassures

00:07:16Yu that he's a good flower accessory maker and tells him to focus on it. After dropping him off,

00:07:20Hibari speeds away from there like his girlfriend just invited him to her house to rearrange her guts.

00:07:24Just then, Himari appears from behind and immediately taunts Yu for dressing like a

00:07:29construction worker. She reveals that Ryan will be joining them, and this makes the nerd really

00:07:32nervous. Later, at a restaurant, Yu struggles to talk to Rian, who seems shy and reserved.

00:07:37Himari breaks the tension by suggesting that Ryan could model for his next accessory photoshoot.

00:07:41Ryan is surprised but agrees after Himari explains that this is her way of repaying Yu for fixing

00:07:46her bracelet. They plan to shoot at Ryan's family's confectionery shop, which surprises

00:07:50Ryan further, and she quickly calls her mother for permission. The group then visits an accessory

00:07:54shop to select materials. Yu observes Rian's preferences carefully, noting which accessories

00:07:58she likes and how she reacts to certain colors and designs. Himari continues teasing Yu throughout the

00:08:03encounter, making him euphoric like a boy who's watching Korn for the first time. Shortly after,

00:08:07Yu puts a red necklace on Ryan, and this makes her blush deeply, revealing a

00:08:11side of her he hasn't seen before. When Himari notices this, she once again tries to crack an

00:08:15insensitive joke, but Rian is having none of it, and she retaliates by lifting up Himari with her

00:08:19macho hands. Later, they visit a flower shop to gather inspiration for new accessories.

00:08:24Rian is drawn to large violet flowers, and Yu discusses which flowers would best suit her

00:08:28preferences. He explains why roses wouldn't be ideal and suggests flowers that subtly represent love.

00:08:33Himari leaves them alone, briefly to get drinks, intentionally allowing Yu and Rian to interact privately.

00:08:38Yu seizes the opportunity to ask Rian about her past, and how she became friends with Himari.

00:08:43Rian explains that Himari was actually a loner when they first met, and it was Rian who approached

00:08:47her first. Yu is shocked by the revelation, as Himari has now transformed into the most energetic

00:08:52monkey he has ever seen. As their conversation unfolds, Yu finds himself staring at Rian's massive

00:08:57melons, and he feels a slight tingling down there. He immediately turns away and starts rambling

00:09:01about flowers and memories to change the topic. Yu recalls a childhood incident at a botanical garden,

00:09:06where he got separated from his family. As he looked for them, he came across a crying girl

00:09:09who was also in the same situation as him. The two then set off to look for their parents,

00:09:13but the girl was soon captivated by some red flowers being displayed nearby. Seeing her eyes

00:09:18inflate like balloons, Yu realized she loved it, so he decided to buy it for her. The girl then

00:09:22promised to wear it every day, and soon she found her parents and parted ways with him. Yu reveals

00:09:26that he still remembers that day like yesterday, and it marked the beginning of his love for flowers

00:09:30and his desire to preserve their beauty. Rian, who had been listening quietly, suddenly asked if that

00:09:35flower was a hibiscus, and then confesses that she remembers it clearly and loved it. Yu realizes

00:09:39with shock and disbelief that Rian is the same girl from his childhood, the inspiration behind

00:09:44everything he has worked for. As the day ends, Yu wonders where Himari went, but Rian doesn't care,

00:09:49and she simply suggests they exchange numbers before parting ways. Meanwhile, Himari is already at home

00:09:53thinking about Yu and Rion. She realizes she doesn't need to intervene for them, as fate seems to be

00:09:58naturally bringing them together. She feels happy but slightly worried as she watches Yu with Rian,

00:10:03sensing that something deeper is forming between them. One morning, a zombie-looking Yu drags himself

00:10:07to school as it turns out he hasn't slept properly for the past few nights. His mind is constantly

00:10:12looping through Rian's confession, and the realization that she might have been his first love all along

00:10:16only makes things more confusing for him. Since that night, he hasn't managed to talk properly with Himari

00:10:21either. Whenever he tries to message her, she either doesn't reply or gives short, meaningless answers.

00:10:26When he sees her at school later, she greets him with a smile, but Yu instantly notices that something

00:10:30feels off about her. Unable to ignore it, Yu asks if something is wrong, but Himari insists that

00:10:35everything is fine and claims she just needs to maintain a three meter distance from him. Soon after,

00:10:40Rian arrives there and greets Yu cheerfully, but she immediately senses that something feels awkward

00:10:44between the two. When Yu explains the situation, she confidently tells him to leave it to her. She then

00:10:49pulls out a bag of cookies, which ends up luring the dumb Himari quite easily. As the trio walks towards

00:10:54class, the two girls throw shades at each other while Yu quietly listens like a creep. He wonders

00:10:58how two people with such different personalities manage to stay such close friends. Before heading

00:11:03to class, Rian hands Yu a small packet of cookies she made herself. Right after Rian departs, Himari

00:11:08pops up and teases Yu about how romantic he sounded. She keeps nagging up during their lunch break too,

00:11:12where she jokes that she should probably leave them together from now on. But this offends Yu,

00:11:16and he corners her against the railing, asking why she has been acting so weird lately. He also makes it

00:11:21clear that Rian is just a friend, and that they don't have any feelings for each other.

00:11:25As Himari stares at him, her face starts turning red, and Yu can't help but admire how cute she

00:11:29looks. He compares her cheeks to freshly baked pizza, but deep down he's desperate to clap them.

00:11:33Before he can say anything impulsive, Himari shoves a cold drink into his hand and tells him to cool

00:11:38off before walking away. Yu then stands there for a while, still fixated on those red cheeks she had

00:11:42earlier. Later that afternoon, Yu focuses on his accessory work in the science lab, trying to distract

00:11:47himself. Rian stands beside him, quietly watching his useless working process with curiosity. She

00:11:52asks what he's doing, and Yu explains that he's recoloring the preserved flower petals to bring

00:11:55back their natural tone. He talks about how tedious the process is, but also how necessary it feels to

00:12:00preserve the flower's true beauty. Rion listens carefully, but Himari starts teasing him like

00:12:04usual. When he's had enough, he orders Rian to help him out, and she restrains Himari like always.

00:12:09Yu sighs and tells Rian that his projects always take longer because Himari never lets him work in peace.

00:12:14Himari pretends to be offended and claims he secretly enjoys her company. She reminds him

00:12:18that he used to flirt with her before Rian started hanging out with him. Yu scolds her for saying such

00:12:22nonsense, but Himari only grins and takes it further by teasing him. About that time,

00:12:26he almost kissed her. And embarrassed, Yu freezes for a second and denies it. But Rian is already

00:12:31uncomfortable by this point, so she quietly leaves the room. Seconds later, Himari is already rolling

00:12:35on the table in laughter. She calls him to help her up, and despite everything, the loser obliges like a

00:12:40loyal dog. But the moment he grabs her hand, she pulls him closer and suggests they should kiss.

00:12:45Yu's heart starts racing as he stares at her, unsure if she's joking or serious. He is completely

00:12:50hypnotized by her charm, and he slowly leans closer. But just as he's about to close the distance,

00:12:54he hears something click. It turns out Himari had been recording everything on her phone,

00:12:57and she bursts out in laughter. Yu becomes furious when he sees his awkward photos and mutters that he

00:13:02was actually about to kiss her, to which Himari says he took too long anyway. When Yu asks what she

00:13:06means,

00:13:07she doesn't reply and simply walks out, leaving him standing there in silence. That evening,

00:13:11Himari walks home with her usual monkey energy gone. She keeps replaying what happened in her mind,

00:13:15trying to convince herself it was just a joke, though a part of her knows it wasn't.

00:13:19The next day, Yu is visited by Shinji, who always carries around a Chinese fan for some reason.

00:13:23He teases Yu about becoming more popular lately and brings up Rian's confession,

00:13:27saying she finally gathered the courage to tell Yu after holding it in for so long.

00:13:30Yu denies that anything like that happened, insisting their relationship isn't romantic,

00:13:34but Shinji only smirks and tells him to stop lying to himself. Yu once again denies it,

00:13:39insisting that they are just friends and nothing more. He also reveals how Himari has been acting

00:13:43all weird as of late, which surprises Shinji so much that he decides to observe her carefully.

00:13:47Later, the trio is in the science lab, where Rian observes Yu's collection of preserved flowers

00:13:52and accessories, admiring how realistic and delicate they look. He then hands her some accessories and

00:13:56asks her to stand by the window for some good shots. However, after several tries from his ancient

00:14:00phone, none of the pictures come out good, as Yu believes they aren't capturing her real beauty.

00:14:05Just when he's about to give up, Himari whispers something in Rian's ear, which completely changes

00:14:09her expression. Her eyes widen, her melons become visible, and she suddenly starts looking like an

00:14:13actual model. Without any delay, Yu captures the moment and he happily announces that the emotion

00:14:18in the photo is exactly what he was looking for. The next evening, Yu, Himari, Rian, and Shinji

00:14:22gather at a small celebration for Yu's new accessory collection launch. Soon, Yu brings out his new

00:14:27design and gently puts it on Rian, making her blush. Being the opportunistic that he is,

00:14:32Shinji jokes that Yu should make Rian his main model because they look perfect together.

00:14:36Rian smiles and says she's fine with that, but Himari interrupts, saying,

00:14:39Yu can't do that. She awkwardly claims it's because people online can be cruel to models.

00:14:43The two then start bickering, but Yu interrupts and says it's actually a good idea. After all,

00:14:47Himari's the one who told him he needed new inspiration for his work. He reminds her she once said she

00:14:51doesn't understand romantic things, so choosing Rian as his model is the perfect move. Upon hearing this,

00:14:56Himari's frustration boils over. She grabs a glass of water and splashes it right on Yu. Then,

00:15:00she bites the straw between her teeth, glaring at him, and coldly says that they should end

00:15:04their friendship. Yu simply stands there, frozen, unable to understand why she's such an attention

00:15:09seeker. After the incident, a paranoid Yu keeps checking his phone, seeing all the unread messages

00:15:14he sent her. It's clear she's upset that Rian has become his new main model, but he doesn't

00:15:18understand why she's reacting so strongly. The next day in class, the two of them completely ignore each

00:15:23other. To get her attention, Yu deliberately takes out a pack of chips and starts eating

00:15:27them in the middle of class, something they always did. Himari tries to ignore it, but she grows

00:15:31really uncomfortable. Yu then yells that if things keep going like this, they won't be able to open

00:15:36a store together, and the statement breaks Himari's heart. She hides her face and begins crying while

00:15:40all the students in class stare at Yu as if he's become an OnlyFans pimp. Just then, his phone buzzes

00:15:45with an email from Himari. It's a transfer notice, claiming she's moving to Tokyo for a modeling opportunity.

00:15:50This rocks Yu's world, and he demands to know if it's true, but she lets out a maniacal laugh and

00:15:54just bolts away without saying anything. Later, Rian also shows up with the same email, worried that

00:15:59she caused this mess by becoming Yu's model. But he reassures her it's not her fault, and decides

00:16:03they should find Himari together. They prepare a small setup with her favorite snacks and drinks,

00:16:08and hide behind some bushes, hoping she'll be lured like a pesky rat. After a while, Himari eventually

00:16:12appears and mocks their trap, but still grabs the cookies and bolts. Yu runs after her, catching her by

00:16:16the wrist, and asks if she's mad because Rian replaced her. But Himari slaps him hard, saying

00:16:20it's not about Rion, it's about him. He asked if Marius had a grudge against humans, and Marius

00:16:25said he did, then accuses her of treating him like a toy. In the middle of their argument,

00:16:28her necklace, one of Yu's handmade accessories, snaps and falls to the ground. Himari rushes to pick

00:16:33it up, but the clumsy Yu accidentally steps on it, cracking the pendant. That moment breaks her

00:16:37completely. Crying, she tells him he never really saw her as a friend, and simply replaced her with

00:16:41someone else without even realizing how much it hurt. Himari then rips off the rest of her

00:16:45necklace and runs away from there, declaring that she's leaving to find a place where she'll be

00:16:49truly appreciated. Later that evening, Yu sits alone in the garden, depressed like a husband

00:16:53with rising debt. Shinji soon arrives with a drink, and the two engage in… conversation.

00:16:58When Yu asks why Shinji pushed for Rion to be the main model, Shinji admits he just wanted to

00:17:03see everyone happy, maybe even give Yu and Rion a chance to get closer. But then he asks Yu whether

00:17:07he really sees Himari only as a friend. He says that if that were true, Yu wouldn't be so affected

00:17:12by her absence. He then advises Yu to figure out what he truly wants before he loses everything.

00:17:16Upon hearing all of this, Yu finally admits that the playboy Shinji is a good friend.

00:17:20Later that night, Yu messages Himari, asking why she's really leaving for Tokyo. She replies

00:17:24coldly that she needs to find her worth, and that he wouldn't understand anyway. Yu then starts

00:17:29remembering how isolated he used to be, how nobody cared about his flower accessories until Himari

00:17:33showed up and changed everything. He apologizes with a corny cat emoji, hoping her heart will melt,

00:17:38but she rudely leaves it on scene. Meanwhile, Himari is giggling at home as it turns out the

00:17:42entire Tokyo transfer story was fake. The serial attention seeker did all of this just to make

00:17:46Yu panic and make him realize how important she is to him. Himari convinces herself he'll soon come

00:17:51begging for forgiveness. She even starts thinking of silly punishments for him once he apologizes,

00:17:55like forcing him to kiss her. But the next day, Yu finally grows a pear and ignores her completely.

00:18:00She grows worried and checks social media for any clues that night, only to see a picture of him and

00:18:04Ryan happily having some ice cream. A few days later, her brother Hibari notices her pathetic

00:18:08state and asks what's wrong. When she confesses the whole situation, he gets furious, telling her

00:18:13she's been emotionally manipulating Yu. He reminds her of their middle school days and how he once

00:18:17helped her promote Yu's handmade accessories by talking to Ryan's sister, who is a big model.

00:18:21The favor embarrassed him, but he still did it because he saw potential in Yu's passion.

00:18:25Hibari continues scolding his sister for forgetting her promise to always support Yu's dream. When he

00:18:30begins pinching her cheeks, she becomes overwhelmed and finally admits that she's fallen in love with Yu.

00:18:34Hibari softens but asks her to think about what truly matters, whether she wants Yu for herself,

00:18:39or because she genuinely loves him. The next day, Himari keeps thinking about her brother's words.

00:18:44She eventually messages Yu and the simp replies almost instantly, saying he has something important

00:18:48to tell her as well. They then meet in the science lab, where Yu hands her an envelope but accidentally

00:18:53gives her the wrong one. When she opens it, she's stunned to see a letter of withdrawal from school.

00:18:57Caught red-handed, Yu confesses that he's decided to follow her to Tokyo. He says Shinji told him to

00:19:02choose the most important thing in his life, and for him, that's her.

00:19:05Himari is shocked and tells him that if he goes, he won't have time to make accessories and will

00:19:09have to work part-time just to get by. Yu says that doesn't matter because there's no point

00:19:13making accessories if she's not the one wearing them. Hearing that, Himari's heart softens and

00:19:17she declares that she's no longer going to Tokyo. Yu comes really close to her and advises her to chase

00:19:22her dreams, but the sudden closeness startles her, and she accidentally spills her drink,

00:19:26splashing her face. Embarrassed, she pushes him away, not wanting her first kiss to happen in such a mess.

00:19:31The cringy conversation finally ends when she laughs and says they can go back to how things were.

00:19:36She agrees to let Ryan stay as a model, but insists she still wants to be his main model.

00:19:41Yu agrees and gives her another envelope, the one he meant to hand her earlier.

00:19:45Inside is a newly repaired necklace with a matching ring attached. He explains it's something special he

00:19:49made for her, using a preserved flower and a small embedded seed. Himari loves it so much that

00:19:54she jumps on his back and makes him put the ring on her, as if they're getting engaged.

00:19:58She then reminds him of their old promise that if they're both still single at 30,

00:20:01they'll marry each other. Yu chuckles and agrees, saying if he's still single by then,

00:20:06he definitely will. Yu has always been drawn to beautiful things,

00:20:09and nothing fascinates him more than flowers. The way their colors blend and fade inspired him to

00:20:14start making jewelry based on them. He dreams of one day opening his own studio filled with designs

00:20:18inspired by those delicate patterns. Back in school, the other boys were interested in sports and

00:20:23narcotics, but Yu used to secretly read books about flowers during lectures. Everything changed when

00:20:27Himari walked into his life. The first time she invited him to lunch, he tried to decline,

00:20:31wanting to eat alone like a herpes patient, but she handed him a drink and dragged him along anyway.

00:20:36Her friends seemed disappointed that she was ignoring them, but Himari just laughed it off and

00:20:39kept talking to Yu like they knew each other forever. They ended up eating together in the science

00:20:44lab, where Himari immediately called him out for avoiding her lately. Yu admitted that some students

00:20:48told him to stay away from her because she's popular, and he isn't. He didn't want to embarrass

00:20:52her, so he quietly kept his distance. Himari rolled her eyes and showed him her phone,

00:20:57revealing a string of messages from a boy who had been flirting with her,

00:21:00despite already having a girlfriend. She said people only see the surface,

00:21:03they chase popularity but never understand sincerity. She added that she's tired of those

00:21:08shallow games and would rather spend time with a loser like Yu. Then she held his hand and made him

00:21:13promise that they'll stay best friends forever, but that he'll never fall in love with her,

00:21:17so that their friendship remains intact. As soon as Yu agreed, she played a recording of their

00:21:21conversation and burst into laughter. Yu tried to snatch her phone, but they ended up chasing each

00:21:25other around, until they both collapsed in exhaustion. In the present, Yu's feelings for

00:21:29Himari have changed. He's completely fallen for her, even though he still hasn't confessed.

00:21:34When she greets him one morning, he tries to act cool, but Himari instantly teases him for looking

00:21:38like he's constipated. As they talk, Yu notices that the ring he made for her isn't on her finger

00:21:43anymore, it's hanging from her neck as a pendant. She explains that she prefers it that way because it's

00:21:47special, being his first gift to her. He offers to make her a new belt, as this one is old,

00:21:51but she

00:21:51refuses. Her words make him blush, so he grabs her shoulders and jokingly says she should just

00:21:56date him. Himari stays calm, teasing him for thinking she'd fall for such a trick, but later

00:22:01in the bathroom, it's clear she was flustered and almost confessed how she really feels.

00:22:05Later that day, Yu is called to the staff office. It turns out he submitted blank papers and failed

00:22:10his exams because he was too busy crafting the new ring for Himari. The principal gives him one final

00:22:14chance and asks him to retake them on Sunday. When Himari learns of this, she offers to help

00:22:19him study and hands him her favorite drink for motivation. Around the same time, Yu's social

00:22:23media identity as the creator of the preserved flower accessories goes viral. Himari starts to

00:22:28feel insecure, worrying that now every girl will want to model for him. She believes that he will

00:22:33surely allow every single girl into his team because he's the biggest simp she's ever seen, but Yu

00:22:37reassures her that she'll always be his number one model, which makes her blush so hard that she

00:22:42slaps him out of embarrassment. Just then, they turn around and are shocked to see that

00:22:46Rian has been standing there all along. Having heard their conversation, she coldly excuses

00:22:50herself and departs from there. In class, Himari's thoughts spiral as she silently promises herself

00:22:55that she'll never let anyone take Yu away, even if she has to remain just his best friend.

00:23:00Later, she finds Shinji and demands to know why Yu's personal information got leaked online.

00:23:04He admits that he did it to help Rian, believing she deserved a fair chance with Yu. He tells Himari

00:23:09that if

00:23:09she really cared about Yu, she should have gone with him to Tokyo when he wanted her to, but she

00:23:13hesitated, and now it's too late. His words make Himari furious, but she can do nothing but simply

00:23:18slurp her favorite drink like a weirdo. A few days later, Yu and Himari are on the bus together,

00:23:22heading to her house so her brother Hibari can help him study for his retakes. It's Yu's first visit in

00:23:26a year, and he's quite nervous. When they arrive, Himari reveals that her parents are away and that

00:23:30her brother isn't home either. Yu panics that she'll take advantage of him, but the moment he steps inside,

00:23:35Hibari welcomes him with a party streamer. Hibari seems to be over the moon that Yu is finally

00:23:39visiting him and declares that he'll do anything in. His power to make sure Yu's accessory business

00:23:44succeeds. The teaching session soon starts and when Yu notices a mountain of textbooks and

00:23:49Hibari's overly aggressive passion, he turns to Himari for help, but she apologizes and leaves him

00:23:54to study alone. Hours later, Yu feels drained from Hibari's intense tutoring. Himari then takes him to the

00:24:00bath, dressed in a light blue yuketa that causes him to stress down there. As he relaxes in the

00:24:04bath alone, she suddenly calls from outside, saying she's coming in to help him wash his back as an

00:24:09apology for leaving him with her brother earlier. Yu freaks out, saying it's inappropriate, but she just

00:24:14laughs and insists that they're best friends, so it's fine. Embarrassed and unsure how to respond,

00:24:19Yu finally gives up and tells her to do whatever she wants. She steps out for a moment to get

00:24:23ready,

00:24:23and when Yu hears someone re-enter, he assumes it's her. However, when he opens his eyes,

00:24:27it's none other than Hibari scrubbing his back with his sweaty hands. Yu screams in horror while

00:24:33Himari laughs uncontrollably outside the door. The next morning, Hibari drives both Yu and Himari to

00:24:38school. Himari sits quietly in the back as it turns out her brother gave her a good old scolding last

00:24:42night for being mean to Yu. When they arrive, she wipes her tears and says she's glad Hibari is gone,

00:24:48but as Yu turns to say something, Ryan appears, greeting only him with a cold smile. When she learns he

00:24:53stayed at Himari's house the night before, she grows aggressive and declares that she'll join them next

00:24:57time and stay over too. Yu spends the day distracted in class, unable to focus after the awkward tension

00:25:03between Himari and Rian. To clear his mind, he texts Rian to ask if she's really going to stay at

00:25:07Himari's place all night, and whether her mom is fine with it. Rian replies that her mother agreed

00:25:12without hesitation. A moment later, Himari messages Yu too, teasing that he's busy flirting with Rian

00:25:17during class instead of paying attention. He becomes irritated and shouts at her, only for the teacher to

00:25:21make an example out of him in class. Later at lunch, a couple of girls approach Yu, now aware that

00:25:26he's the

00:25:26mysterious designer behind the trending flower accessories. They ask him to make custom pieces

00:25:30for them, but before Yu can answer, Shinji steps in and tells them to leave, claiming that Yu is

00:25:35already working exclusively with him. The girls roll their eyes and walk away, calling Shinji possessive.

00:25:39Afterward, Yu confronts Shinji about leaking his identity online. Shinji admits it casually,

00:25:44saying it boosted Yu's popularity and helped Ryan make her move. Yu snaps that it caused unnecessary

00:25:49trouble, but Shinji just laughs, saying Rian is still planning to visit him that night and

00:25:53might even stay over. Then, in his usual Sigma tone, he warns that it might lead to another round

00:25:58of drama between the girls. Yu begs him to intervene, but Shinji refuses, calling it payback

00:26:03for being a complete jerk and giving mixed signals to both the girls. Later on his way to class,

00:26:08Yu is approached by Himari, who says they should hold the study session at his house instead,

00:26:12since hers isn't available. Yu hesitates, saying his family might not like it, but Himari's innocent

00:26:17face and playful tone eventually make him cave. Just then, a classmate reminds Himari about her

00:26:22student council meeting after school, meaning Yu will end up alone with Rian for a while.

00:26:26He panics and tells her to skip the meeting, but she ignores him and runs away. After class,

00:26:30Yu rushes home and is horrified by the amount of filth he has gathered in his room. Thankfully,

00:26:34he quickly cleans everything just in time for the doorbell to ring. When he opens the door,

00:26:38Ryan stands there in a cute outfit and wearing the flower accessory he had made for her. Yu awkwardly

00:26:42welcomes her inside and explains that his family is out working, and Himari will be late,

00:26:47so for now it's just the two of them. Trying to break the tension,

00:26:49Yu opens his secret closet, which reveals a miniature garden filled with various plants.

00:26:54He explains that he has safely stored them here to protect them from his cheeky fat cat.

00:26:58He also brings out a pot of flowers, claiming these particular ones help him relax while studying.

00:27:02Rian is genuinely impressed by his goofy knowledge of flowers, and they eventually start studying

00:27:06together. Soon after, Yu learns that Rian is ranked second in their class, so he asks who's the first.

00:27:11His expression suddenly changes when he learns that it's none other than the school playboy,

00:27:15Shinji. They then go through their lessons for a while, but Yu keeps losing focus as he's distracted

00:27:20by Rian's bouncy volleyballs. To compose himself, Yu gets up and goes to the kitchen to make some tea.

00:27:25While he's gone, Rian curiously lies down on his bed, drawn to a sweet smell. When he returns,

00:27:31he is stunned to find her sniffing his pillow, and she awkwardly walks back to the table.

00:27:34When Rian reveals that she just wanted to smell the cherry fragrance,

00:27:37he explains that he spilled tea there once, which must be why it smells like that.

00:27:41Rian once again lays on his bed, and with a seductive stare, she softly confesses that she still loves him.

00:27:46This leaves him shocked, and he remembers how she had once confessed to him in the past,

00:27:50after they became close during a rough patch with Himari.

00:27:53Yu had gently turned her down then, realizing his heart belonged to Himari,

00:27:57but Rian never held it against him. She had returned the next day, smiling like nothing had changed.

00:28:02Now, that same look is in her eyes again, hopeful but calm.

00:28:05As Yu tries his best to focus on studying, Rian dozes off on his bed.

00:28:08He tries to wake her before Himari arrives, but when he leans closer,

00:28:12she suddenly pulls him closer and shoves him against her natural pillows.

00:28:15Right then, Himari and Yu's sister Sakura open the door and freeze at the sight.

00:28:19Yu panics, trying to explain, while Rian continues holding him in, her sleep.

00:28:23When she eventually wakes up, she apologizes for her actions, and Sakura asks if she's Kureha's sister.

00:28:28It turns out Sakura, Himari's brother, and Rian's sister were once classmates during school.

00:28:33Sakura then chuckles, saying she never imagined someone as composed as Rian would fall for her dumb brother.

00:28:38After teasing them for a bit, she quietly heads towards the kitchen.

00:28:41As Himari stares at Yu in anger, he casually reveals that Rian has already confessed to him several times.

00:28:47Rian also gently smiles, admitting her actions, which sends Himari over the edge.

00:28:51She gets up and angrily accuses Yu for being a playboy, but Rian silences her by casually lifting

00:28:56her up in the air. She then looks at Yu and asks if she was really his first crush.

00:29:00Yu awkwardly admits that Rian was indeed his first love, but he doesn't feel that way anymore.

00:29:04Even after hearing this, Rian doesn't get discouraged. She simply smiles and says she'll take that as

00:29:08motivation. Yu then changes the topic and asks why they were arguing earlier and if everything is

00:29:13fine now. Rian admits she decided to distance herself from Himari because, even after knowing

00:29:18how deeply she loved Yu, Himari still intended to take him with her to Tokyo. Yu says that it was

00:29:23his

00:29:23decision to follow her, and Rian also realizes that she had overreacted. She reveals that it was the

00:29:28playboy Shinji out of all people who helped her see clearly. With that, Rian tells Himari she wants to

00:29:33start over and become an equal part of their circle, helping Yu with his creative work and

00:29:37supporting both of them. Himari is touched by her sincerity and immediately agrees. The three of

00:29:41them then promise to work together as friends from now on, hoping this new bond will make things less

00:29:45complicated. Later that evening, as Hibari drives his sister home, he warns that she should stop

00:29:49letting her emotions control her. Himari fires back, telling him to worry about himself since he still

00:29:54spends time with Rian's sister, despite claiming to dislike her. This annoys Hibari, and he asserts that

00:29:59she's lying to Yu too often, and that she needs to stop before she ruins everything. Himari admits

00:30:03she has a habit of lying when she feels cornered, but promises to be honest with Yu from now on.

00:30:08Days later, Yu gives his much-awaited exams, and he ends up scoring perfect marks. Still,

00:30:12he gets scolded by his teacher for not trying hard the first time. Weeks later, summer arrives,

00:30:17and all the students get excited to wear their trendy uniforms. Yu also puts on some nerdy clothes,

00:30:22and now that Rian has joined his team, he's fully focused on working on his accessories to push his

00:30:26creativity further. At school, he runs into Himari wearing her classic summer uniform,

00:30:30radiating youthful energy. Yu can't help but stare at her, and she once again teases him for it.

00:30:35Even during class, their playful banter continues, and they go back and forth hurling insults.

00:30:39At one point, Himari leans in close to him, and he closes his eyes, expecting to finally lock lips.

00:30:44But it turns out to be yet another prank as Himari flicks him back to reality. Yu is so annoyed

00:30:49by

00:30:49the betrayal that he flicks her back, causing her to scream in agony. Later during lunch break,

00:30:54as the two are chatting over their favorite drink, Rian approaches them in her new outfit.

00:30:58This time, even Himari is impressed by her cannons and can't help but stare at them.

00:31:02Yu also compliments her outfit, and suggests that they should have a team meeting to discuss

00:31:06their upcoming accessories. A while later, they sit on a bench and talk about ways on how they

00:31:10can promote their products. Rian is so clueless that she gets genuinely impressed when Himari

00:31:15casually suggests putting all their products online. As the trio is busy chatting, two friends,

00:31:20Mao and Azu arrive to request custom-made accessories. Yu quickly takes them to the

00:31:24science lab and shows them his inventory, asking if they like anything from here. But the girls are

00:31:28adamant on getting custom-made ones, as it carries more meaning. Mao then reveals that her anniversary

00:31:33with her fat boyfriend is coming up, and she wants a matching set for them. This genuinely excites Yu,

00:31:38as it's his first time making couple accessories, so he accepts the offer. But their crazy demands

00:31:42soon leave him exhausted, and he regrets making the deal with them. Now, the club not only has to manage

00:31:47custom orders, but also clear out older inventory before the preserved flowers lose their color.

00:31:52After a bit of thinking, Yu selects the Japanese Cornell flower for the couple's accessories,

00:31:56symbolizing perseverance, reflecting their sincere feelings for each other,

00:31:59rather than just love. He asks the girls if it's a bit cheesy, but Himari appreciates it,

00:32:03as it's coming from someone who's passionate about his craft. The only downside is that custom-made

00:32:08accessories are too expensive for general schoolers. Yu reveals that only 10% of his customers are from

00:32:13this school, meaning his buyers are mostly grown adults. But Himari is certain that with his growing

00:32:18popularity, the numbers will increase and they will achieve a lot of success. A few days later,

00:32:23Yu completes Mao and her boyfriend's matching accessories, delicate gemstones attached to

00:32:27necklace chains. He then awkwardly takes their next measurements to craft belts for them,

00:32:31so that they can wear the accessories like a bunch of dogs. After that deal, Yu's shop quickly

00:32:35fills with customers, spreading rumors that wearing his accessories might help someone win a crush's heart.

00:32:40Mao and Eizu, now acting as marketers, cleverly promote this, drawing even more customers.

00:32:45It turns out their classmates are now willing to pay any sort of money to get their hands on the

00:32:49prized accessories. Yu pushes himself to meet deadlines, and Himari's brother even sets up a

00:32:54private workspace for him so he can work undisturbed. At one point, Himari unexpectedly invites Yu to rest

00:32:59his head on her lap. Though initially reluctant, he eventually gives in and carefully lays his head

00:33:04on her lap. She then starts massaging his face playfully, and Yu silently reflects on his feelings for

00:33:09Himari, relieved that she isn't interested in anyone else. Because he doesn't have the

00:33:13Kohones to confess his love, he simply wants her to be his best friend forever. With these disgusting

00:33:18thoughts in mind, Yu falls asleep in an awkward position. Himari simply observes him and says

00:33:23she's turned on by his reinvigorated passion for making accessories, but she's also scared that the

00:33:28more popular he becomes, the more distant he might become from her. The next day in the cafeteria,

00:33:32the trio is discussing their next batch of orders when Shinji suddenly appears like a 90s villain.

00:33:36He gives the naive Rion some tips on how she can get close to Yu, which clearly offends Himari.

00:33:41She tells him that he should focus on his younger girlfriend, as rumor has it they're not doing so

00:33:45well lately. Shinji simply shrugs it off and invites Yu to have lunch with him, to which Yu

00:33:50reluctantly accepts. The two then go to the rooftop, and Yu asks if Shinji was the one who persuaded Mao

00:33:55and Azu to promote his accessories. Shinji denies it, claiming that they are good girls and they only act

00:34:00on their own will. He then changes the topic and says that Yu should embrace Rion as she's the perfect

00:34:05match for him. Slightly annoyed, Yu asks why he's so hell-bent on helping Rion out, and Shinji responds

00:34:10by finally revealing that he owes her a favor. Yu tries to inquire more, but Shinji abruptly gets up

00:34:15and walks away without revealing his full plans. Later on, Yu is called to the staff room, where a

00:34:20teacher explains that have received a complaint from the parents of a girl who recently bought his

00:34:23accessories. The parents claim that their daughter was coerced into buying the pathetic ornaments for a

00:34:28high price. Yu vehemently denies the accusations, claiming he made it based on her request and the price was

00:34:33agreed in advance. But the teacher says he can do nothing to help him. He instead asks if the

00:34:37accessories are sold according to regulations, and Yu reveals that he has enlisted it under his

00:34:41family's convenience store business, and that his sister manages the legal side. The teacher says he will

00:34:46have a chat with her later, and assures Yu that he can continue his passion. But he urges him to

00:34:50pause

00:34:50selling any accessories for now, as it is gaining unnecessary heat from the parents, and might land him in

00:34:56trouble. Later, when Himery and Rion learn about it, they are absolutely furious and decide to confront the

00:35:01girl who made the complaint. But when they confront her, she throws the accessory to the ground and

00:35:05rudely stomps on it. She admits that the only reason she bought it was because of the rumor claiming it

00:35:10would make her crush fall in love with her, but it turned out to be completely useless. A furious Himery

00:35:15rushes to confront the girl and her friend, but they push her aside like leftover food and leave from

00:35:20there. Meanwhile, a devastated Yu picks up the broken accessory as his eyes well up with tears.

00:35:25He feels that he has been a total failure, while the girls watch him bent down helplessly.

00:35:29A few days later, Sakura is called to school, where the teachers inform her of the issue.

00:35:34They reassure her that Yu is free to make accessories, but as the school board,

00:35:38they have to please the agitated parents as well. The teachers then request Sakura to refund

00:35:42all of the dissatisfied students to which she agrees. As all of this is happening, Yu is at home,

00:35:47completely unaware and playing video games. On the other hand, Himery runs into Azu and Mao,

00:35:51who apologize for accidentally causing trouble by promoting his accessories too much. They ask her to pass

00:35:56the apology to Yu and Himery agrees, though part of her wishes they had the courage to tell him

00:36:00themselves. Still, she can tell Yu needs support more than explanations right now. When she finds him in class

00:36:06later, she taps his shoulder and greets him like usual, pretending nothing's wrong, but Yu barely reacts.

00:36:11He simply goes inside the classroom like a defeated man who has no hope left in life. Himery feels bad

00:36:16for

00:36:16him, but she knows that this is just a small bump in the road towards their dream. After school, Shinji

00:36:21meets Yu and

00:36:21admits that he was the one who spread the rumors that started the chaos. He offers Yu a chance to

00:36:26hit

00:36:26him as payback, but instead of getting angry, Yu calmly accepts that Shinji never intended to hurt

00:36:30him. He simply says that Shinji's plan has worked before awkwardly walking away from there. Meanwhile,

00:36:35Himery and Ryan are also discussing the situation, wondering what will happen to their store. To cheer Yu

00:36:40up, Himery suggests they should take him on a short vacation, but Ryan thinks he's not ready for that,

00:36:45and they should simply leave him alone for now. The conversation soon turns hostile as the girls start

00:36:49accusing each other for causing the mess, but before it can escalate further, a dejected Yu arrives

00:36:53carrying a box of returned accessories. The trio then heads to the science lab and inspect the

00:36:58accessories one by one. They are furious to see that most of them have been damaged, which means

00:37:02reselling them is not an option anymore. Himery goes on a rant that this is very unfair because the

00:37:07students had agreed to buy them in advance, but a depressed Yu tells her that nothing can be done now.

00:37:12Trying to cheer him up, the girls then suggest they should go out during the weekend to buy some new

00:37:15summer clothes, but Yu shuts them up completely when he reveals that he's decided to quit the

00:37:19accessory business until they graduate. Thinking that he's not serious, a stunned Himery tries to

00:37:24talk him out of it, but Yu has already made up his mind. He claims he should focus more on

00:37:28his studies

00:37:28and not try to be a businessman this early in life. Upon hearing this, Himery becomes so frustrated that

00:37:33she spills her drink all over Yu, making his pathetic situation even worse. She continues pressing him to

00:37:38reconsider, which finally sends Yu over the edge. He shouts that opening the accessory store is his dream,

00:37:43and no one can force him to rush it. His words tear through Himery like a hot knife through butter,

00:37:48and she impulsively grabs the box of ornaments to chuck it out the window, but she stops at the

00:37:52last moment and quietly leaves from there. That night at home, Himery lies silently on her bed,

00:37:56lost in thought. Her brother checks on her and quickly figures out that she and Yu had a fight.

00:38:01She reveals that Yu is quitting his business, and that she only pushed him because she didn't want

00:38:04him to lose the spark that makes him who he is. To her surprise, Hibari says she did the right

00:38:08thing because at least she was honest with him. He then gently reminds her that Yu needs to face

00:38:12his own struggles, and that her job isn't to decide his path, but to support him through it.

00:38:17Moreover, Yu needed this wake-up call because his obstacles like these are required to prepare him

00:38:21for the future. Hibari then ends the awkward conversation by suggesting that it's up to Yu

00:38:25to figure out the next step, and she should support whatever he decides. The next day,

00:38:29Yu meets with Himery on the rooftop, and he apologizes for taking things too far,

00:38:33but he makes it clear that his decision stands and that he will only focus on his studies from now

00:38:38on.

00:38:38Upon hearing this, a furious Himery declares that if he quits, she will stop being his best friend.

00:38:43She explains that their dream of building the shop together is shared, and she refuses to let him

00:38:47abandon it. Yu is taken aback by her attitude, but he still refuses to change his mind. A few days

00:38:52pass like this, and Himery starts avoiding Yu, often leaving early from school. But one evening,

00:38:57as Yu stands there like a sissy loser, Ryan approaches him and invites him to play video games with her.

00:39:02Even there, Yu acts like a simp as he focuses more on Ryan's Kokomalons rather than the actual game.

00:39:06He's also amused by her pathetic gameplay, but it at least makes him smile for the first time

00:39:10in a long while. During a short cookie break, Rian suddenly turns serious and tells him,

00:39:15she doesn't think quitting suits him. He might be tired, but he's at his best when he's creating.

00:39:19Yu responds to this by handing her a worn-out ornament, saying he's realized that he was making

00:39:23these not because he loved the craft, but because it would help him be around Himery. He now thinks that

00:39:28he was being selfish, so it isn't right to continue the business. Rion says he's overthinking it,

00:39:32and then abruptly confesses that she likes him once again, though she knows his heart belongs to Himery.

00:39:38Yu admits it's true, but she doesn't mind, and says she will still support him the same way she always

00:39:42has.

00:39:43Later that day, Yu visits Himery's house along with Rian. She's watering flowers in her weird red tracksuit,

00:39:48pretending not to see him. He awkwardly apologizes for being a dork, but she says she hasn't forgiven him yet.

00:39:53Himery jokingly adds that if he really wants forgiveness, he'll have to start doing whatever she orders him to do.

00:39:58But before she can give him the first task, Rian steps in and grabs her ears, forcing her to come

00:40:03clean to Yu.

00:40:04Eventually, Himery admits that she lied about going to Tokyo and bends down to apologize to him.

00:40:08Although stunned, Yu forgives her instantly, saying she's the most important person in his life.

00:40:13Himery is so embarrassed by his words that she drenches herself with water to cool down.

00:40:17She then reveals that watching him make accessories turns her on, so she wants him to resume the business right

00:40:22away.

00:40:22After this, Himery jumps on his back and starts flirting with him like usual, finally ending the rift between them.

00:40:27Elsewhere at the airport, Rian's elder sister Kureha arrives, and Shinji out of all people comes to pick her up.

00:40:33He asks if she's here to meet Rian, but Kureha makes it clear that she actually wants to confront Himery,

00:40:38who turned down her offer earlier.

00:40:40Several years back, when Yu was walking with a new friend, Himery popped up and teased him for finding a

00:40:44new buddy so quickly.

00:40:45She also pointed out that his coat looked nice and asked where he got it.

00:40:48Before Yu could answer, the other boy laughed and said he wore his sister's coat.

00:40:51That moment broke the tension, and from then on, the three of them began spending time together like a small,

00:40:57weird little trio.

00:40:58But then, just before Christmas, that same friend asked Yu for a disgusting favor.

00:41:02He wanted to spend Christmas with Himery, alone.

00:41:05Yu didn't know what to say, so he just agreed, thinking maybe they'd make a good couple.

00:41:08To avoid suspicion, he even lied to Himery, telling her the school's Christmas event was cancelled.

00:41:13On Christmas Day, Yu still went to the exhibit by himself, quietly setting up his flower display while trying not

00:41:18to think too much about what the other two might be doing.

00:41:20During lunch, he sat with his teacher, Yu, who noticed how lost he looked.

00:41:24Yu asked her what she would do if her friend chose to hang out with someone else instead of her.

00:41:28Yu smiled and said that friendships were like growing flowers.

00:41:31When you plant different kinds together, they can still bloom beautifully.

00:41:34After lunch, while Yu was resting at his table, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

00:41:38Himery was standing there, looking at him like she'd caught him registering for OnlyFans.

00:41:42She said she went out with that boy, but the day was a total disaster.

00:41:46Apparently, he confessed his feelings to her, and she turned him down on the spot.

00:41:49She then told Yu that she only agreed to meet him because the boy said Yu would be there too.

00:41:53Yu admitted he had helped set it up, thinking they might work out,

00:41:56but Himery says she already knew the weirdo was just using Yu to get close to her.

00:42:01The realization hit Yu like a ton of bricks, and Himery told him not to trust people so easily.

00:42:06As they walked around the room, Himery noticed one of Yu's accessory designs, a sunflower wreath.

00:42:11She asked if he made it for her. Yu panicked and said it was just a coincidence, though it wasn't.

00:42:15Sunflower translated to Himari in Japanese, and he designed it with her in mind.

00:42:19In the present, Himari arrives at school and spots Yu ahead of her,

00:42:22completely focused on his phone. She rushes toward him like a raging bull,

00:42:25yelling his name, but he dodges her hug without even looking up.

00:42:28He's texting Ryan and doesn't even notice that Himari's talking to him.

00:42:31When she grows annoyed, she changes the topic and suggests that they should sleep together someday.

00:42:35The idea makes Yu freeze in place, and Himari teases him for getting nervous,

00:42:39asking if he's thinking of her in that way.

00:42:41Right then, Ryan suddenly appears, lifts up Himari like a toy, and leads Yu away from there.

00:42:46She throws a playful wink at Himari as they walk away together, leaving her completely speechless.

00:42:51Later that day, Rian demands to be fed lunch like a dog, and Yu hesitantly complies as it turns out

00:42:55he had texted her earlier, begging for help because Himery was getting too close,

00:42:59and he was worried he might lose control of his feelings.

00:43:02While they're eating, Ryan snatches the usual juice from Yu's hand,

00:43:05and gives him another one, saying the first one will remind him of Himari.

00:43:08He then casually asks why he doesn't just date her if he likes her so much.

00:43:11Yu acts all Jigiched says he's not ready, because his dream of opening an accessory shop comes first.

00:43:16Rian calls him selfish, but admits that his honesty is exactly what she likes about him.

00:43:21After school, Yu goes to the garden again, where Himari suddenly jumps on him from behind,

00:43:25causing him to nearly edge out.

00:43:26She demands that he come shopping with her to buy a swimsuit for summer break.

00:43:30Yu finds the idea inappropriate, as he doesn't want to see her in seductive clothing,

00:43:34but then he suddenly remembers that they did last year as well.

00:43:36Later, a desperate Yu texts Rian for help,

00:43:38and the first thing she does is lift him up in the air with her classic move.

00:43:42She's clearly angry that he's accompanying Himari to go swimsuit shopping with her.

00:43:45Ryan urges him to decline if he's so bothered about it,

00:43:48but Yu says he can't do it because Himari is his best friend.

00:43:51Upon hearing this, Ryan sighs and says she's busy with band practice, so he's on his own.

00:43:55At the mall, Himari drags Yu to the swimsuit section,

00:43:58while he looks like he's about to pass some kidney stones.

00:44:00He tries to escape, but she grabs his tie before he can run.

00:44:03She says she wants his help, because she wants to pick something he'd actually like.

00:44:07After choosing two swimsuits, she goes to the fitting room and teases him,

00:44:10saying she's wearing something more revealing underneath.

00:44:12She then peeks through the curtains and starts slowly pulling him towards her.

00:44:15Afraid of losing his emotions,

00:44:17Yu bolts straight out of the store and runs home without looking back.

00:44:20When Yu gets home, Sakura tells him a visitor is,

00:44:23waiting.

00:44:23It's none other than Rian's older sister, Kureha,

00:44:25who introduces herself and says she already knows about Yu's dream.

00:44:29She then unexpectedly says that she has come here to take Himari along with her.

00:44:32On the other hand, a fed-up Himari confronts Shinji at the school court,

00:44:36who's all sweaty from busy practicing tennis.

00:44:38She throws a ball straight at his head,

00:44:40and accuses him of putting random thoughts into Yu's mind.

00:44:43After some back and forth, Shinji promises that he has nothing to do with Yu's odd behavior,

00:44:47and that Kureha has already taken care of him.

00:44:50Elsewhere, Kureha reveals that Himari once applied to join Kureha's modeling agency in Tokyo,

00:44:54but backed out at the last moment.

00:44:56Kureha now wants Himari to reconsider, and asks Yu to convince her.

00:44:59To tempt him, she offers money, and even promises to find him a professional model

00:45:03from her agency for his designs.

00:45:04Yu immediately refuses, saying Himari isn't some object to be sold,

00:45:08and that his dream only matters if she's part of it.

00:45:11But Kureha smirks and mocks him,

00:45:13calling him naive and saying he's holding Himari back from real success.

00:45:16She tells him he's not as talented as he thinks,

00:45:18and asks if maybe the real reason he won't let Himari go is because he likes her.

00:45:22She then offers a deal.

00:45:23Yu can come with them to Tokyo, but that would mean abandoning his dream shop forever.

00:45:27At this tense moment, Hibari bursts into the room in his signature tuxedo suit.

00:45:31He tells Kureha to stop manipulating Yu, but since the two used to date,

00:45:34she shows him an explicit video on her phone and threatens to leak it.

00:45:37Hibari somehow gets a hold of her phone, but Kureha laughs and reveals that she has several backups.

00:45:42In the end, she proposes a challenge instead.

00:45:44She tells Yu to create a masterpiece accessory by August with the theme,

00:45:47Memories of Summer.

00:45:48If he can impress her, she'll back off,

00:45:50otherwise she will blackmail Himari with debt and force her to work in the agency.

00:45:53Without thinking much, Yu accepts the challenge, as he realizes this isn't just about accessories

00:45:58anymore. It's about proving that his bond with Himari is worth more than fame or money.

00:46:03After learning the full truth about Kureha's challenge, Himari becomes furious.

00:46:07She declares that she will go and personally decline the offer,

00:46:10insisting her brother should cover any expenses that follow.

00:46:12But Hibari refuses to take responsibility anymore,

00:46:15saying everything that's happening is because of her lie about going to Tokyo.

00:46:18An annoyed Sakura then explains that Kureha is an evil witch who can go to any extent to get

00:46:23what she wants. Himari claims that if she runs away, things will calm down,

00:46:27but Sakura warns her that Kureha isn't the kind of person to let things go.

00:46:30She could even open her own store right next to Yu's, just to compete with them.

00:46:34Later Yu is at school, slowly sipping his favorite drink,

00:46:36while overthinking one of life's greatest debates.

00:46:39Whether Messi or Ronaldo is truly the GOAT.

00:46:42He also realizes that he can't just sit around and needs to take action about this Kureha situation.

00:46:46Just then, Himari appears and tells him she wants to take him somewhere to find inspiration.

00:46:51Yu is shocked by how carefree she sounds despite everything that's going on,

00:46:55but Himari stays calm, saying she believes in him.

00:46:57She even adds that if he loses, she'll join Kureha's agency and simply quit on the first day.

00:47:02Yu tells her that if she does that, she'll have to drop out of school,

00:47:04but Himari is fine with that as long as he takes care of her for life.

00:47:07Her words make Yu blush, and he almost creams his pants in the heat of the moment.

00:47:11Their playful moment is cut short when Sakura suddenly shows up,

00:47:14grabs Himari by the face and says they need to go look for inspiration right now.

00:47:18Shortly after, the three of them arrive at a restaurant to have lunch and

00:47:20brainstorm ideas for their next project.

00:47:23Himari suggests that Yu should photograph beautiful flowers to get design inspiration.

00:47:27Yu agrees that it could save time, and Himari excitedly volunteers to help with the ideas too.

00:47:32She then starts describing a cute story, but it soon turns suggestive,

00:47:35so Yu shoves a pancake in her mouth to stop her from continuing.

00:47:38Now it's Ryan's turn, but she simply says that any story will turn out fine as long as Yu is

00:47:42with her.

00:47:42The two girls then become hostile and almost get into an argument, but Yu yells at them to focus.

00:47:47He eventually decides the best way to find inspiration is by experiencing summer memories

00:47:51firsthand. The three of them then take a train trip to the beach, and as soon as they arrive,

00:47:55the girls start playing in the water, while Yu snaps pictures of them like a creep.

00:47:59One thing leads to another, and the girls start arguing about their melon sizes,

00:48:03with Rishin clearly having the upper hand. Yu records all of this from a distance,

00:48:07so that he has enough content for tonight's nutting session.

00:48:13After cooling off at a convenience store with ice cream, Yu looks through the photos,

00:48:17but feels unsatisfied. The pictures are cute, but they look more like promotional ads and lack of

00:48:22motion. Just then, he notices two kids playing outside and suddenly gets an idea. He tells the

00:48:27girls he wants to visit a certain place the next day. They end up going to Yu's Old Flower Arrangement

00:48:31School, where his former teacher, Miss Yuumi, is busy playing video games with a bunch of kids.

00:48:35She greets him warmly and then hands him an album filled with old photos.

00:48:39One picture shows Yu and Himari in middle school, working together on a design.

00:48:43Ryan carefully observes it and comments that Himari actually looked cute with long hair.

00:48:48Yuumi then theorizes that Himari keeps her hair short these days because Yu likes it that way.

00:48:52Upon hearing this, Rian becomes jealous and says she will cut her hair short as well.

00:48:56But Yu panics and assures her that he likes her the way she is.

00:48:59Soon after, Miss Yuumi invites them to try flower arranging, thinking it might spark inspiration.

00:49:04Ryan eagerly agrees, but Himari says she'll just watch since she's quite useless at art.

00:49:09She then sits by the balcony and observes the two while listening to the gentle sound of wind chimes.

00:49:13On the other hand, the flower arranging session begins. Ryan struggles at first,

00:49:18but Yu guides her through the process, and she ends up doing it perfectly. Himari watches them

00:49:22quietly and feels a bit envious because Rian managed to get a hang of it so quickly. Later,

00:49:26Himari sits beside Miss Yuumi, who gently asks if she likes Yu. Himari implies that she does and has

00:49:31been doing for years. When Yuumi asks if she's okay with Rian liking him too, Himari denies being

00:49:36bothered, but her expression says otherwise. Soon after, Yu approaches them and reveals that he's

00:49:40decided to make his masterpiece based on sunflowers. He shows an old sunflower wreath design he once made

00:49:45for Himari, explaining that it represents her. She immediately recognizes it and starts smiling

00:49:49like a meth addict, but then Yu reveals that it was actually Rian who came up with the idea,

00:49:54not him. Himari's expression instantly changes, though she doesn't say anything at the moment.

00:49:58The tension is only broken when Yuumi suggests that a sunflower festival is being held nearby,

00:50:02and they should visit it. The trio agrees, but Rian stays behind to help her family business,

00:50:07leaving the two alone. A few days later on the train, Yu sits behind Himari so he can see the

00:50:11color of her straps. She suddenly gets up and asks if he likes Rian more than her. Yu doesn't know

00:50:16how

00:50:16to answer because he actually likes Himari, but can't admit it outright. When he gets too uncomfortable,

00:50:21Himari smirks and says she was only teasing him. After that, she decides to go buy some tea for the

00:50:25both of them. At the vending machine, Himari remembers what Shinji once told her, that if

00:50:29she truly wants Yu to be hers, she should take him with her to Tokyo. At the time, she thought

00:50:34he was

00:50:34joking, but now she realizes he was right. Yu would give up his dreams for her if she asked.

00:50:38She knows he's kind, but she also feels that maybe Rian is the better person for him.

00:50:42When they finally reach the sunflower field, Yu becomes enchanted by the sight of thousands of golden

00:50:47flowers swaying in the breeze. He runs around excitedly like a kid who's just watched some smash

00:50:51tapes for the first time. Yu eventually selects a few flowers, but he's not satisfied and continues

00:50:56looking for more. Himari also follows behind and tries to talk to him, but he ignores him completely.

00:51:01Fed up with his behavior, she whispers her confession and turns away, but Yu manages to

00:51:05hear it and thinks she's joking. He lightly scolds her for saying such serious things playfully, but

00:51:09this only makes her furious. Himari runs off into the field, feeling frustrated that he never

00:51:14understands her feelings. As she runs, she feels the tears coming and gets angry at herself for not

00:51:18being able to express what she truly feels. Yu chases after her and finally finds her sitting

00:51:23among the flowers, catching her breath. Without a word, Himari gives him the sunflower bracelet he

00:51:28had made for her. Then she leans forward and suddenly kisses him, finally making it clear that

00:51:32she wasn't joking. Yu carefully packs up the sunflowers he collected from the field, gently arranging

00:51:37them so the petals don't get damaged. But as he glances at Himari's ring, the memory of their kiss hits

00:51:42him again. Unable to understand why she kissed him, Yu becomes so paranoid that he starts talking to the

00:51:46flowers. Just then, Shinji shows up and catches him talking to the plants like a crack addict.

00:51:51Yu immediately asks if he's part of Kureha's team, but Shinji denies it, explaining that while Kureha

00:51:56had requested some help, she ended up acting on her own. He also admits that the real reason he's

00:52:00close to her is because he has a crush on her. Yu is stunned by the revelation, but before he

00:52:04can make

00:52:04fun of him, Shinji casually mentions that he overheard Yu talking to the flowers about his kiss with Himari.

00:52:09He then asks if Yu had the balls to confess his feelings to her, but the loser shakes his head

00:52:13shamelessly. Shinji laughs but says that Yu should focus on the competition first and deal with his

00:52:17heart later. Meanwhile, Himari is in her room, tasting some dumplings she cooked. But she gets

00:52:22so carried away that she ends up finishing everything, leaving nothing for her brother.

00:52:26Himari then starts panicking about the kiss and wonders how she'll even face Yu.

00:52:30Before she can figure it out, her brother Hibari knocks on the door and asks to come in.

00:52:34She tries to dodge him by opening the window, but he's already standing outside waiting. With nowhere to

00:52:39run, she admits how she suddenly kissed Yu during their trip. Hibari appears to be more understanding

00:52:43this time, and he praises her for being brave enough to be honest about her feelings. After

00:52:47the short speech, he heads to the kitchen, only to freak out when he learns that his sister has eaten

00:52:51all the food. The next day, Yu works in the lab, carefully soaking the sunflowers in water to preserve

00:52:56their color. Ryan joins him for lunch and confronts him about the kiss, revealing that Shinji has already

00:53:01told her. Yu feels embarrassed about the whole thing, but says he will finally confess his feelings to

00:53:06Himari after the competition. Rayon responds that even if Yu and Himari start dating, she won't give

00:53:11up on him. She'll just become Himari's best friend so that she can stay close enough to share Yu someday.

00:53:16Yu doesn't know whether to laugh or worry about that as he's seen a lot of corn movies with the

00:53:20same storyline. Right after she leaves, Himari enters the lab and tries to interact with Yu awkwardly.

00:53:25He tells her that after what happened yesterday, there's something important he wants to say,

00:53:28but only after he beats Kureha. He then focuses on work and reveals that he's planning to make a

00:53:33sunflower tiara, which makes her really happy. Later, Yu, Himari, and Rion grab dinner together

00:53:38at a small restaurant. They discuss their plans for the upcoming festival, and it soon becomes

00:53:42clear that both the girls will be busy with their families. That leaves Yu worried about where he'll

00:53:47continue his accessory work since Sakura keeps bothering him at home. Thankfully, Himari offers

00:53:51her house, saying her brother Hibari will be around too. During the school break, Yu works at

00:53:55Himari's house, spending hours focused on his accessory while Hibari keeps dropping by with food.

00:53:59By the end of the day, he finally completes his sunflower tiara, and everyone praises how beautiful

00:54:04it looks. The next morning, however, disaster strikes. When Yu opens the accessory box, he finds

00:54:09that the sunflower petals have dried out, and the tiara looks lifeless. He realizes that he miscalculated

00:54:13the preservation process and took the petals out of the solution way too early. Hibari also sees the

00:54:18damage and suggests that they go out to get some new sunflowers, but since he's too drunk to drive,

00:54:23they end up taking a taxi in the middle of the night. A few days later, Himari is back home,

00:54:27resting on Yu's lap while he has just finished recreating the tiara from scratch. When Hibari

00:54:31comes in and notices Yu's passion, he almost becomes moist down there. Later that day,

00:54:35Yu finally submits his tiara in front of a large audience at home. As soon as Kureha opens the box,

00:54:40she is impressed by how beautiful the accessory looks. Yu becomes delighted, thinking he may have

00:54:45just won, but then Kureha says it's still not enough. He explains that although it looks good on the

00:54:49outside, it feels rushed and lacks soul. Yu tries to argue, but she berates him for trying to trick

00:54:53her with a replacement at the last second. This finally makes Yu realize that she knows about the

00:54:58ruined tiara, and Kureha reveals that Sakura told her everything. After she leaves with Rion,

00:55:03Yu angrily confronts his sister, asking why she ratted on him. Sakura calmly says she only told

00:55:08Kureha the truth because Yu has been acting unserious about his craft lately. To prove her point,

00:55:13she opens a box filled with his older accessories, the ones students returned, and tells him to take a

00:55:17good look. Yu examines them closely and realizes the quality really has gone down. The pieces are uneven,

00:55:23some flowers have wilted, and the craftsmanship is pathetic. Sakura claims that before Yu used to

00:55:27pour his heart into every detail, but now he's distracted. She tells him he's treating his art

00:55:31like a side game, and his customers are the ones suffering because of it. Sakura also says that he's

00:55:36no longer worthy of being called a creator if he can't take his own craft seriously. Hurt and humiliated,

00:55:41Yu lowers his head, while Hibari instructs his sister that it's time to head home. The next day,

00:55:46Himari meets Shinji and tells him she has no plans to join Kureha's agency despite her recent success.

00:55:51But Shinji advises her to reconsider, saying she has the looks and charisma to become popular,

00:55:55and that one day she could use that fame to help Yu's business. He says if she really loves Yu,

00:55:59she should build something of her own first. Himari listens silently, torn between her feelings and

00:56:04her dreams. Shinji adds that if she still feels the same after years apart, he'll fully support her in

00:56:08getting Yu back. Later that evening, Himari visits Yu and they spend some romantic time by the river.

00:56:13She tells him not to cheat on her while she's away, but Yu jokes that they aren't even dating yet.

00:56:17Himari smiles and says that once she becomes a real model, she'll promote his accessories everywhere.

00:56:22Yu, who's torn between asking her to stay and supporting her decision, says he could come with

00:56:26her if she wanted. But Himari shakes her head, saying she loves how dedicated he is and doesn't

00:56:31want him to abandon his flower dream for her. He then takes her hand, and they promise that even

00:56:35if they go separate ways, they'll keep working hard for the future they once dreamed about together.

00:56:39The next morning, Ryan wakes up late, taking advantage of her free day since her club has no activities.

00:56:43She plans to relax and cool off, but her mother calls her downstairs and asks her to make a

00:56:47delivery to Shinji's house because her sister isn't around. Ryan reluctantly agrees, though

00:56:51she would've wanted to spend her free time watching the latest season of Squid Game. At Shinji's place,

00:56:56she finds him at the tennis court, giggling to himself like a maniac. It turns out he's happy

00:57:00because Himari's leaving, so Ryan can finally get close to Yu. But Ryan doesn't want to win this

00:57:05way and urges him to stop her sister from taking Himari away. At first he refuses, saying he can do

00:57:10nothing about it. Then Ryan starts boosting his ego, saying if he manages to outsmart Kureha,

00:57:14he might finally impress her. This finally convinces Shinji and he agrees to help Ryan out,

00:57:18but he warns that it will push Yu further away from her. Ryan responds that she doesn't mind,

00:57:23because she's certain she'll win his heart someday. Elsewhere, Hibari receives a call from someone,

00:57:27asking her for a favor. At the same time, Yu is watering the plants at school all by himself.

00:57:31He looks devastated, realizing that once Himari leaves, the gardening club will feel empty. As he stares at

00:57:35the flowers, he reminds himself that she'll return someday. But deep down, he can't shake the fear

00:57:40that maybe she won't. Just then, Shinji shows up out of nowhere like a wild Pokémon. He tells you

00:57:44that he should consider following Himari to Tokyo like the last time. Yu responds that it's a

00:57:49completely different situation now, because she's pursuing her dream to support their future store.

00:57:53But Shinji tells Yu that if he really loves Himari, he should just quit making childish accessories

00:57:57and live a normal life with her. Shinji adds that Yu probably doesn't even love Himari,

00:58:02he's just using her to promote his stupid business. That... Comment cuts deep and Yu becomes so angry

00:58:07that he grabs Shinji and shouts that he loves Himari deeply. He then pushes Shinji to the ground

00:58:11and runs off to find her, while Shinji smiles as he has cleverly played his part. As Yu keeps running,

00:58:16memories of Himari flash through his mind. Their laughter, her encouragement, the quiet moments they

00:58:21shared. He whispers to himself that all he wants is for her to keep looking at him the way she

00:58:25always

00:58:25does. Even when the idiot slips and scrapes his leg, he doesn't stop and keeps running like

00:58:29Forrest Gump. Meanwhile, Himari is at the station when she receives a text from Kureha saying she's

00:58:34stuck in traffic. The delay gives her time to think and she recalls what Kureha once told her,

00:58:38that her beauty could take her far and that she could use it to support Yu. But as she stands

00:58:42there,

00:58:42she realizes that what matters most to her isn't fame or beauty, it's the time she spent with Yu.

00:58:47Tears fill her eyes as she admits quietly that she doesn't want anything else. She just wants you to

00:58:52love her. Just then, Ryan arrives and Himari assumes she came to say goodbye. But Ryan jokingly says she

00:58:57came to thank because once Himari leaves, Yu will be hers. She then asks if Yu's dream means more to

00:59:01her than her feelings. Himari says yes because helping Yu chase his dream is the only way she

00:59:05can truly support him. But Ryan presses her again, asking if that's what she really wants. Himari snaps

00:59:10that what she wants doesn't matter anymore. Rion sighs and tells her that she'll take her place and go

00:59:15to Tokyo instead, on one condition. Himari must promise to give Yu to her when she comes back. That

00:59:20makes Himari freeze as she can't believe Ryan would suggest something like that. But Ryan just smiles like a

00:59:24demon, saying at least this way Himari can finally admit she doesn't want to let go. Overwhelmed with

00:59:29emotion, Himari breaks down crying, hugging Ryan tightly and confessing she doesn't want to leave Yu.

00:59:34Ryan holds her against her boulders and explains that dreams are important, but not at the cost of

00:59:39happiness. She assures Himari that Yu doesn't value his dream more than her. Just then, Yu appears,

00:59:44panting and covered in sweat. He rushes over to Himari and pleads with her not to go. Yu admits that

00:59:48he

00:59:48doesn't know whether to choose her or his dream, but he certainly doesn't want to lose her. He also makes

00:59:53it

00:59:53clear that they don't need any dream to be together because if she's not in his life, there's no life

00:59:57at all. Before Himari can say anything, Kureha arrives and reminds them of the deal. Yu begs for

01:00:02another chance, but Kureha refuses, saying she already gave him one and that Himari owes her.

01:00:06That's when Shinji appears from a nearby balcony and tosses a bag of cash at her. Like a certain

01:00:11Colombian narcotic lord, he announces that he'll pay off Himari's debt himself. Seconds later,

01:00:15Hibari also pulls up in his car and Shinji reveals that he signed a contract with Hibari to borrow

01:00:19money. Kureha realizes she's been outplayed and accuses Shinji of betrayal,

01:00:23but he calmly points out that she had refused his help earlier, so this is just him returning

01:00:27the favor. Furious, Kureha storms toward Hibari's car and kicks it a few times in frustration before

01:00:32finally leaving with him. Everyone stands silent for a moment. Then Shinji laughs and says now that

01:00:37the chaos is over, they should celebrate. Because he helped them, they owe him big time,

01:00:41so he lists out a list of conditions. He tells them that no one is allowed to move to Tokyo

01:00:45until

01:00:45graduation and that they should keep working together and focus on their dreams. Everyone

01:00:49glares at him, but Shinji just grins and says they should all go eat to celebrate. They then end up

01:00:53at a sushi restaurant, where Shinji and Ryan stuff their faces like they've just survived a famine,

01:00:58while Himari looks horrified at the growing bill. Later that evening, as Yu and Himari are walking home,

01:01:03he suddenly says he's quitting everything. Himari stares at him in shock, but Yu explains that his

01:01:07sister helped him realize that he's been so focused on opening a store that he forgot why he started in

01:01:12the first place. Back in school, he used to handle every flower with care, trying to preserve its

01:01:16life, but over time that passion faded. He says he wants to dream even bigger now, not just about

01:01:20a store, but about creating something meaningful, and he wants Himari to be part of it. Yu also vows

01:01:25that he'll never let her sacrifice anything for his sake again. Himari's cheeks flush at his words,

01:01:30and before she can react, Yu bursts out laughing, teasing her for blushing just like she used to

01:01:34around him. A few days later, the two are back at school, tending to the garden. Himari teases Yu to

01:01:39say

01:01:39how much he loves her, but when she leans too close, they trip and fall together. Yu then looks

01:01:43right into her eyes and confesses that he loves her a lot. They get so excited that they almost kiss,

01:01:48but Ryan and Shinji show up, ruining their moment. Thankfully, it's not all bad, as Ryan has brought

01:01:53some homemade cookies, and the four of them laugh and eat together under the bright summer sky. If you
