Long Summary
Mika lies on her bed and admires a photo of Hayato, telling him that he is super cool. At the same time, Hiroyuki looks at a photo of Yukari but then starts imagining Ryuu in a wig. He starts imagining Ryuu calling him senpai and bangs his head on his table, annoying Mika. The next morning, Hiroyuki asks his mom about breakfast, but she is away at a concert, so his dad suggests that they eat bread. He sees that Mika is cooking something, and Mika asks if he has any friends in the baseball club, to which Hiroyuki denies. Mika clicks her tongue and hurriedly leaves. Hiroyuki eats his bread as he wonders why she is in such a hurry, but notices that Mika has left her notebook on the table. Mika plans to pretend that she got lost while delivering her brother's bento and then bumping into Hayato, whom she will eat lunch with. Usokawa offers to help her if she is lost, but Mika refuses, causing Saginuma to taunt him. Mika starts imagining her interaction with Hayato, imagining that she is crying and leaning against the wall, but Hayato puts his hat on her and stands very close to her. Mika blushes and starts speaking aloud. Kotaro, who happened to be right next to her, asks about bento. Shocked, Mika picks up the bento, saying that she has to give it to Hayato. Kotaro then turns around and runs towards Ryuu, who is carrying Midori. Ryuu asks if Mika is alright since he had just seen her crouching. Before he leaves, Mika pulls on his shirt and blushes, telling that since he has already overheard her. Ryuu explains that he is in the same class and club as Hayato. Mika is excited to hear this and assumes that Ryuu is in the baseball club as well. Before Ryuu can finish explaining, Hiroyuki yanks Ryuu away from Mika, yelling at his sister that she cannot like him. He takes out the photo that Mika was staring at after seeing that she is confused. Ryuu calmly states that it is because of Hayato, who is in the center of the photo. Mika asks why Hiroyuki has her notebook, and he explains that he was delivering it to her since she forgot it. He asks why Kotaro looks so depressed, and Kotaro starts crying since Hiroyuki said that she cannot like his older brother. Ryuu assures Kotaro that he only said it because he was worried about his sister. Mika grimaces at her brother, calling him disgusting. Hiroyuki asks Mika how she knows Hayato, and she explains that a friend had given her the photo and she had fell in love at first sight. He begins to leave, warning her that meeting Hayato in real life will destroy her fantasies. Before Hiroyuki walks away, Hayato, carrying Taka, arrives, asking them why they are being so loud. Ryuu greets him and introduces Mika, but there is no one sitting beside him except for Kotaro. Hiroyuki realizes that Mika is hiding behind his back because she thinks that Hayato is more attractive in person and is too shy to talk to him. Taka gets down and opens Mika's bento, assuming that Saikawa is the one who prepared it. Ryuu tries to stop him, but Taka quickly takes a bite. However, he immediately spits it out, calling it gross. Mika starts to cry and runs away. Hayato hits Taka on the head and tells Hiroyuki that he and his sister are alike. Ryuu starts to tell Hayato about the bento, but Hiroyuki stops him and says that he will take the bento since she has worked so hard on it. Hayato looks at the bento as Hiroyuki comments that she worked hard, but it still looks awfully disgusting. Hiroyuki is about to throw away the bento but then reflects for a moment, thinking that if Ryuu were her brother, he would eat her bento because she has worked hard on it. Later, Mika, depressed, lies on her bed and refuses to come down for dinner. She regrets bringing a bento and is embarrassed thinking about how Taka had called her bento disgusting in front of Hayato. She decides to go to the bathroom, but Hiroyuki is occupying it. She starts to complain, but Hiroyuki yells back at her, saying that it is her fault for giving him a stomachache. Mika asks if Hiroyuki ate her bento, which Hiroyuki affirms. He tells her that she can do better next time, but he had eaten it because she had worked hard. Mika is rather touched but insults her brother, denying that he is cute. Hiroyuki stays on the toilet for hours as he resolves to never do anything nice for his sister ever again.
