When she arrives at the location, the popular model Kira turns up and she is captivated by his good looks. Someone comes chasing after Kira. He is Soma Meguru, Wako’s junior back in high school and a guy so pretty that he can be mistaken for a female. Meguru has been working at a fashion shop and taking charge of Kira’s styling since he came to Tokyo. This unexpected reunion catches Wako by surprise. She gets a bigger shock when Meguru suddenly hugs her and declares that he has always liked her because she saved him from bullying.
