“Broken hearts, huh? I guess I just have to admit defeat.”

Due to the sudden illness that struck Shigeki Irie, Nao now has second thoughts about pursuing Medicine. His father had intended him to succeed the company and with pressing problems that follow him even in the hospital, Nao decided to help as much as he can. He agreed to attend a marriage interview with a young American girl whose father might help the company go back to business. Kotoko was heartbroken. Finally losing hope, she slowly turns her attention to the ever-faithful Kin-chan.

“There’s some kind of sensation left behind on my lips.”

Nao decided to switch his major to Medicine, and for the first time, he had to work hard for it. Kotoko was ever supportive to his decision, after all, she was the one who believed Nao can be a great doctor. Spring break comes, and Nao had to leave for a while to work at Romance Village. Kotoko, Yuki, and the others went there as well. With so many people around, will Kotoko be able to make a move on Nao?

“Thank you, Kotoko.”

Kotoko’s Dad decided to move out of the Irie’s. Kotoko and Nao started to drift apart, just when things are starting to work for them. And then one day, Yuuki had an accident. The daily visits in the hospital brought them back together, and to a shy boy named Non-chan.

“Both my heart and body are in shambles“

Kotoko and Sudou became immediate best friends when they decided to stalk Irie and Matsumoto around. Later, Kotoko realizes that she has nothing to gain from this but hurting herself. Just when she has started to go home, her minuscule luck totally ran out and their cover was blown.

“I’ve come to a really bad place“

Kotoko thus enters a new life as a university student. She begins her day by putting on the best clothes, plus make-up and pearl necklace. Nao hardly noticed of course, and told her not to follow him around, as if he’d already forgotten about their kiss. Kotoko, on the other hand, had nothing but dreams about that kiss, replaying it in her head over and over, too excited and happy that she had to tell it to someone, and unfortunately, she chose her best friends who just loved to gossip. Well, they actually started believing there’s a something between Kotoko and Nao, but that was before they met Yuuko Matsumoto.
