## Plot

Kazuya and Chizuru meet at college, however both pretend to not know each other. Later Chizuru drags Kazuya to a room, telling him to not tell anyone about her job and to never rent her again. However to their surprise, they live door by door in the same apartment complex.

Nagomi calls Kazuya, informing him that she will be visiting him and she wants Chizuru to also come. Kazuya begs Chizuru to pretend to be his girlfriend as his grandmother is coming, but she refuses. Nagomi arrives and they start waiting for Chizuru. Kazuya goes out to call her, and while pretending to talk with her on the phone, he goes to the next door and begs her again, but Chizuru still refuses. Kazuya decides to tell the truth, however Nagomi had already figured he got dumped. Nagomi tells him that at some point she started to believe he will never get a girl like him, but Chizuru showed her a beautiful dream, so she can never hate her. Chizuru overheard their conversation from the window and decides to act as his girlfriend. She comes apologizing for being late, but stating she wanted to prepare food. Nagomi gets happy to see her. Later as she leaves, she tells Kazuya next Wednesday when he comes to visit her, to bring Chizuru with him. Kazuya manages to convince Chizuru to be his girlfriend for one hour each Wednesday, but she set rules that he never talks to her at college or contact her outside the app.

The next day, Kazuya runs into his ex, Mami, and is reminded of how beautiful she is. Later Chizuru calls him and they go to the hospital. After their visit, Kazuya is seen by Yoshiaki and Shun, who think that Chizuru wants to sign Kazuya into some sect and take all of his money, but end up stating that she is his girlfriend. They can't believe she is with such beautiful woman, but accept it as they hear they haven't had sex yet. They invite him to come drinking with them and Sasano and Kazuya ends up accepting.

At the place, Kazuya is surprised to see his Mami there and Yoshiaki apologizes as he didn't knew she would be here. Kazuya feels awkward and wants to leave, but he can't leave Chizuru alone. After he returns from the toilet, he sees Mami talking with Chizuru. Mami then starts explaining how troublesome Kazuya libido is as once they held hands and kissed, he always wanted they do that. How he "couldn't stand up" from where they were sitting after she wore a miniskirt. Seeing Kazuya not saying anything, Chizuru stands up for him, telling her to not badmouth it and that its not okay to talk about private things for their ex. As they argue, Kazuya states that's just the way he is and Chizuru decides to leave.

After the party, Kazuya talks to himself, knowing that Chizuru stood up for him as he couldn't, but in the end she is just a rental girlfriend. Mami ends up following Kazuya and thanks him for standing up for her and states that she failed as a girlfriend. She comments she didn't knew Kazuya had such a manly side and invites him to her place.
