Hiroto's a bit upset with Hanaya. But they’ve agreed to keep their distance and give each other some space. So things between them are... quiet.

Enter Yeona. The new girl… who isn’t so new to Hiroto. A rising teen model with big dreams and a spotlight chasing her, Yeona once shared a classroom — and a friendship — with Hiroto back in Tokyo. She moved to Seoul after 9th grade, and now, out of nowhere, she’s reappeared in this sleepy seaside town. Hiroto knew she was coming back to Japan… but Kamakura? His school? That he didn’t see coming.

On her first day back, the two reconnect after school. But knowing the kind of industry Yeona's stepping into, Hiroto doesn’t hold back — he dives into a heart-to-heart about purpose, identity, and the bigger picture of life. He’s hoping to plant a seed... maybe even wake something up in her.

But not everything is as simple as it looks.

What’s the real reason Yeona chose this town… this school?
And what will Hanaya think when she sees Yeona getting too close to Hiroto?
