Rinko's crush wasn't Makoto, but Takeo! Elated by having a girlfriend for the very first time, Takeo's heart is about to burst from happiness. But Takeo's true mettle is about to be tested when a major accident occurs during a singles meetup between his and Rinko's friends...

Rinko's birthday is the same day Suna's father is scheduled to undergo surgery. Takeo tries to honor Suna's wishes by following through with his and Yamato's birthday date, but Takeo can't stop thinking about Suna's plight. After much thought, Takeo decides to tell Rinko.

Mariya Saijou tells Takeo that she likes him "as a person" after falling for Takeo, knowing full well that he already has a girlfriend. Being dense, Takeo takes her words literally, but what will he do once he finds out how she really feels?

Takeo's mother's due date is approaching, but she continues to engage in household chores with dangerous enthusiasm. She ridicules Takeo for being anxious for her well-being, but an unexpected incident causes her to evaluate her son.

True love.
