◇The following contains spoilers.
In episode 6, Fumina gets her hair cut by her boyfriend Yukio ( Ryo Narita) at a beauty salon. On the way home, the two have a casual conversation about how cute the color of the building at the end of the street in front of the salon is.
A few days later, Fumina is meeting with her senior novelist, Yamada Sen (Uchibori Taro), at a hotel. Fumina shows Yamada a lengthy, heavy-hearted email she sent to someone she used to like but couldn't become his lover.
The man she met, musician Ryosuke Tabata (played by So Matsushima), was the one who caused Fumina to distance herself from the person she had fallen in love with. Two years ago, Ryosuke called her at night, and despite Kotaro's warnings, Fumina tried to visit Ryosuke's house...
Later, Kotaro, who likes Fumina, chases after her as she is about to go to Ryosuke's house and offers to go with her, but Fumina pushes him away, saying she doesn't want to get him involved. Kotaro desperately presses Fumina, but when she says, "Please don't come, seriously. Go home," he makes a condition: "Okay, then just one thing! Just do me one favor and I'll be leaving soon!" When Fumina asks, "What?", Kotaro suddenly begs her, "I want you to kiss me." Surprised, Fumina refuses, saying, "That's really gross!" Kotaro looks up to the sky and silently watches Fumina leave in a taxi.
On social media, Kotaro's sudden "request" became a hot topic, with comments such as "Kotaro, that's not okay lol," "What? In this situation?", "Cute lol," "It made me laugh," and "I love when Kotaro throws a tantrum lol."
