After receiving a call from his ex-girlfriend, Minato tells Ayumi (Kaho) that he "thought I'd go and see her for a bit." Normally, Ayumi would accept Minato's feelings, but she mustered up the courage to tell him her true feelings, saying, "I don't want you to go. I want you to stop meeting up with the people you used to date. I can't help but worry about it."

"Yes, I understand. I won't do anything that Ayu-chan doesn't like," Minato apologized and hugged Ayumi. Afterwards, after eating the meal that Ayumi had prepared, Minato said kindly, "From now on, when I can come home early, I'll make sure to come home properly. I want to be with you."

On the other hand, Minato admitted that he wasn't very good at changing his "own pace" to suit other people. "But wouldn't that change if you got married?" Ayumi said, and Minato's expression became complicated.

Later, Minato said, "There's something I want to talk to you about. Let's break up."

In response to this sudden turn of events, social media was flooded with comments such as, "They're suddenly breaking up?!", "Minato is the type of guy who suddenly decides to break up, it's tough", "No matter how you look at it, Minato is just too much of a jerk", "I'm so annoyed with Minato", and "I thought it would be better not to suddenly announce marriage, but now they're breaking up. That's quick."

Other comments included, "I wonder if Minato will lose interest if his girlfriend mentions marriage," "I think Minato decided it would be more honest to end the relationship now than to continue it out of inertia," "I think Minato is the type of person who wants a more even relationship and doesn't like being tied down by marriage. Ayumi is too much of a burden for someone like that," "Ayu, seriously, should break up with Minato already," and "I did a big fist pump when she said 'let's break up' at the end, lol."
