Episode two starts with child Kensuke and Asaya arguing on a bridge, it is one-sided mostly. Kensuke is upset his friend Asaya is leaving him to transfer to another school. Kousuke begins making breakfast, while Kensuke decides to pass on it and it asks if he can stay home. He simply does not want to see Asaya. When Kousuke starts asking him questions, he bolts.

The episode transitions to Masahiro and Kensuke at their lockers, Kousuke stating that he didn't sleep really and Masahiro explaining his is frazzled because of Kousuke being his teacher. It makes him happy however to see Kousuke as his teacher, and he reflects upon that in class. Kousuke teases him in class, and causes Masahiro to stand and say "I'll do my best! I won't let you down!" causing his classmates to stare at him. Kensuke is having a decent day until he looks back at Asaya and freaks out.

Kensuke reveals to Yamabe and Fukushige that Masahiro is Kousuke's underling but that doesn't mean he will get test answers from him. The girls come into the classroom to question Kensuke on if he found out if Asaya has a girlfriend, to which he had never found out, so he runs away instead with Masahiro.

The girls find them and corner Kensuke frustrated by his behavior, and reminding him to find out if Asaya has a girlfriend. Masahiro suggests Kensuke just talk to Asaya to which Kensuke states he can't because they aren't friends anymore.

He recalls when the two of them were kids and stated they would be together forever. An important memory for the two is when they took shelter in a tree during a rainstorm and were afraid they would both die there.

The episode then transitions to Relax Bar Mary where Natsuo gives Kousuke a drink and Ayaka congratulates Kousuke for returning with a new job.

That scene quickly ends moving to Asaya entering the school campus in the morning and not greeting Kousuke causing the teacher to confront him on why he didn't say good morning as the other students did. Kousuke states Asaya's good looks will go to waste if he scowls all the time, and Kousuke recalls when he saved Asaya and Kensuke from the tree when they were kids.

Masahiro overhears this conversation and tells Kensuke, who freaks out about Asaya speaking about him with Kousuke. The two end up running into Gozu who demands that Kensuke help Asaya grab some materials from a classroom.

Kensuke awkwardly does as asked and is panicked to be so close to Asaya, he convinces himself to take deep breaths before being instructed on what to do by Asaya. He is upset however, that Asaya is acting so happy when they ended their relationship on bad terms years ago on the bridge.

Asaya takes off his mask and shows that he was hurt like Kensuke was and that he missed him too but was forced to go to a different school because of his parents. He made sure he would get into the school Kensuke was going to so he could see his smile.

The two almost share a kiss which is interrupted by Gozu who bursts in, a happy Kensuke returns to class, glad he made up with Asaya. He states to the girls, that he will ask Asaya about if he is single on the way home since they are walking home together.

Kensuke complains about his height to Asaya, who states that he wants Kensuke to stay exactly the way he is. The two recall how Asaya was pretty when they were kids and Kensuke always defended him from the kids who bullied him over his feminine looks.

The two look at the mountain in the distance and remember their adventures together finding stag beetles, making chalk drawings, and then getting trapped in a tree when a rainstorm started before being saved by Kousuke. Kensuke cries and cuddlesup close to Asaya.

Kensuke ends the nice moment, asking if Asaya has a girlfriend to which he states he doesn't but he is upset over the question because Kensuke is asing on behalf of the girls in the class and not himself when Asaya has feelings for Kensuke. Asaya branches off towards his home and refuses to allow Kensuke to visit the apartment.

Asaya and Kensuke walk on campus to class together the next day, with Asaya still denying if Kensuke can come over. Asaya asks if Kensuke likes him, to which he says he does and that they both like each other, that they are the same. Asaya disagrees with this, grabs Kensuke's hand and runs with him to under the bridge, where he pins Kensuke up against the pillar of the bridge and kisses him.

Kensuke pushes him away and questions him on what he is doing, to which Asaya states his feelings for Kensuke, and that he will make him his. "Cut ties with me again...or sleep with me."
