"Do you have time now?"
Aiko suddenly receives a call from Kai Shirasaki (Ryo Narita). Surprised, she rushes to Kai's place.
Aiko called out to Kai, who was sitting on a bench by the sea, "Um..." Kai was surprised and said, "You're the one who was surprised! You called me out of the blue." Kai said that he had suddenly had an idea and bought a smartphone.
Kai said that when he searched for the law firm where Aiko works, he suddenly got a call. "A kind assistant gave me Hanamura's phone number," he said as an excuse.
Aiko then asked Kai why he had called, and he replied that he wanted to know how to save her cell phone number. "Is that so? Oh, no, did you bother calling just to save it like that?" Aiko's surprise doubled.
Kai continued, panicking, making excuses, "About apps, security, and things like that. Oh, and screen protectors. It seems like it requires a lot of skill to put them on."
Then Kai noticed a small leaf next to Aiko's ear. He moved closer to Aiko's face and took the leaf. The moment Kai muttered, "Ah, sorry," Aiko grabbed Kai's arm as he tried to move his face away and pressed her lips against his.
On social media, the story became a hot topic, with comments such as "Aiko kissed him first?!", "I can't believe it was Aiko who made the first move!", "Aiko going up to kiss him was so cool!", "The ending...it was so innocent and heart-pounding," "She confesses her feelings and kisses him first, she's the heroine of a fire drama," "Kiyohara Kaya is so cute," "The combination of Ryo Narita and Kiyohara Kaya is so cute it's soothing," and "Kiyohara Kaya just shines."
