In the previous chapter Miu comes to know that Keita's parents aren't his real parents. She was shocked when she knew about it however she thinks it isn't something that she should be too concern about instead she should come to accustom to this fact soon and things will be alright.
At the same moment, Keita's father told the family that he had decided for them to return to America as an university over there had formed a research team and he will be leaving Japan in 2 weeks time. Miu wonders if Keita will be leaving for America too and Keita's father told Keita that he will be staying behind as he just started going out with Miu. Keita laughed saying that it's great as he isn't prepared to change school. Miu showed a sign or relief.
Keita's mother is worried about leaving Keita alone and Ietei jumped out saying that he can be Keita's guardian. Miu said that Keita's house will still be very noisy even without his parents around. Keita looks sad and seems to be in thoughts. When he realized Miu was talking to him, he patted Miu's head and told her not to worry as he isn't going anywhere.
Miu in her bed, thinking about the things that happened today. She's feeling uncertain and worried but can't make out what made her felt that way. While Keita stood at his balcony with a sad look deep in thoughts.
Back in school, Miu and Gutsu chan were having lunch and Miu told Gutsu chan what had happened. However half way through their conversation, an announcement over the PA system called Gutsu chan to the office and she ran off.
Nanasae suddenly appeared behind Miu, she had been eavesdropping. Nanasae told Miu that she's innocent as usual to believe everything Keita told her. She told Miu that it's impossible to know everything about one's partner. She might hurt her partner if she questions or step one something which her partner wants to hide or run away from.
During physical education lesson, Miu was observing Keita and thinks that he seems more active than usual. The boys decided to play soccer and Keita's the goal keeper and soon Miu heard that Keita's head was hit by the ball.
She went to the infirmary to see Keita. Keita laying him bed, covering his face with the blanket with his back facing Miu. Miu asked Keita if he actually wants to go to America with his parent. Keita asked why did she ask and didn't his father told him not to go already? Miu realized Keita's tearing. She demand Keita to tell her how he truly feels and she will listen to him.
Keita told her that he knows that his parent sees him as their real son even though he's not. However, when they told him they aren't blood related, he felt betrayed and was never able to erase this worst kind of feeling. Miu stretches out her arms and hug Keita thinking that he had been bearing all these pain himself and she wonders if there's anything she can do for him.
Back at home, Miu texted Keita to meet her at the balcony. She told Keita to leave for America with his parent and that she will be alright.
