Hoshitani was shocked for a second, then frowns, looking at the note in his hand. Nayuki asks concerned, "What's wrong?" Hoshitani shakes his head and smiles, putting the note in his pocket, "It's nothing." Accepting the answer, they both walk to class.
During lunch, Hoshtiani excuses himself and leaves, the other got worried. "What's wrong with him?" Tengenji asks. Nayuki answers, "I don't know." Then, Kuga notices a note on the ground and picks it up. He reads it, then shows it to the others. It says: 'Please meet me up on the roof during lunch. I need to speak with you.' Expecting the worst, they raced to the roof, then hide behind the door.
Hoshitani was in facing a senpai. Suddenly, the senpai bows his head, yelling, "Will you go on a date with me?" They're all stunned. 'A confession?!' Understanding the situation, Hoshitani sighs, "I'm sorry, but I don't return your feelings. I like someone else." The senpai gets depressed, "I understand." Smiling, Hoshitani says, "But don't worry. You'll find someone to date eventually, so don't give up, ne?" The senpai nods in thanks, then leaves. They quietly sneak away from the door before Hoshitani notices them.
Later, they're all gathered in a Nayuki's and Hoshitani's room. Tsukigami explains that they saw what happened during lunch. Blinking, Hoshitani says, "I see." "What kind of reaction is that, your boor?" "Well, it can't be helped, can it?" Hoshitani answers like it's obvious.
Tengenji sighs in defeat. Tsukigami asks, "So...about who you like..." Hoshitani flushes slightly, "Don't get me wrong. I love you guys. You're my friends, but... I do have someone I really like. I won't tell though. It's a secret." Kuga raises an eyebrow, "It's Otori-senpai isn't it?" Hoshitani full out blushes and stutters, "Wha-what makes you say that? It's not Otori-senpai! Really!" 'How did he know?!' They all aren't convinced one bit, but decide to keep it to themselves and humor him. Then, they all go to bed, wishing him luck.
The next day, during lunch, Otori came up to the roof, Hoshitani waiting for him nervously. Once Otori was in front of him, Hoshitani asks, "W-Will you go on a date with me?" Dumbfounded, Otori stares at him, Hoshitani clenching his fists together, eyes closed as he waits for a response.
And, I can't decide on a good response! Plz help me out! Choose either A. Let him down easy, B. Accept the date, or C. Run away. Again.
