Everyone believes that Tsukushi Makino and Tsukasa Domyoji are dating, and neither reveal the truth. Tsukushi enjoys the attention from her female classmates. Later, they take her to a club where she meets a foreigner.
Plot[]
After a rumor circulates about her dating Tsukasa Domyoji, Tsukushi Makino is being fawned over by her classmates. She asks "Why are you suddenly doing all this for me?, to which they all answer "We're friends aren't we? Tsukushi is a bit irritated, considering these girls would never speak to her before. Even Yuriko Asai speaks to her nicely, though still begrudgingly. Tsukushi tries to tell them it is a "misunderstanding" though they do not listen.
Akira Mimasaka and Sojiro Nishikado ask Tsukasa about his "all-nighter" date with Tsukushi. Not realizing they are talking about sex, his answers make their imaginations run wild. Sojiro laments "I've never tried that" and Akira apologizes for "making fun of [him]." Tsukushi and her classmates walk up. Tsukasa only manages to say "How. Are You?," before awkwardly leaving. Sakurako Sanjo comes up to Tsukushi. The other girls instantly dislike her and invite Tsukushi to go dancing, leaving out Sakurako.
Her classmates bring Tsukushi to a night club that the F4 frequent. The girls spot a handsome foreigner dancing. He comes up to their table and asks to join them, specifically looking at Tsukushi. The guy asks her to dance with him. Her classmates pretend to be happy for her, though they actually irritated. On the dance floor, Tsukushi realizes whom he reminds her of, her crush Rui Hanazawa. He comes closer to her, asking "How about slipping out of her with me?"
