That night as the other tenants celebrate, Kyoko is quiet. Everyone asks why she's angry but she refuses to say anything. A phone call interrupts the conversation and gives the other tenants a chance to question Godai. He realizes that maybe she saw he and Kozue, and when she comes back and tells him that its Kozue on the phone, he is more sure than ever that this is the cause of her ire. Kozue asks if she can meet with Godai now that finals are over. And the next day at a cafe, Kozue tells Godai about her friend's proposal and begins to cry, telling him that she didn't know what to do. Godai tries to calm her and tells her that he plans on asking someone important to him to marry him as soon as he graduates.

Kyoko quickly realizes what he is trying to do and tells him how stupid he is for falling for that. Godai agrees and becomes frustrated, but Kyoko turns the tables on him, telling him to close his eyes. However instead of kissing him she tugs on his cheeks. Godai sighs, but Kyoko then tells him to turn around and close his eyes. He does as he is told and Kyoko slowly sneaks around in front of him and kisses him before running inside. Godai screams in excitement and runs up to his room, ready to tell Kozue once and for all that Kyoko is the only woman for him. Yotsuya interrupts him however and mentions the annual New Year's Eve party at Chachamaru. Godai happily agrees to go and looks forward to seeing Kyoko again that evening.
