However, when he saves her from a pushy classmate, the two become unlikely friends. Nanase picks up a box which belongs to Hana-kun, but he tells her that she can throw it away because he does not want to look like a brat when giving the present to the person he likes.

When their teacher Komari-sensei falls ill, Nanase and Hana-kun go to visit her. While there, Nanase spots a plush toy which looks exactly the same as the present inside Hana-kun's box. She realizes that Komari-sensei is the one that Hana-kun likes, and that he did not want to seem immature to her so he decided against giving her the present.

Nanase inadvertently confesses to Hana-kun when she tells Komari-sensei that the box belongs to someone she likes, not knowing that Hana-kun was standing around the corner the entire time.
