Plot And Overall Review
Kazuya and Ruka begin to date each other; however, he is depleted by her clinginess over him. While strolling onto the college grounds, Ruka shows up and asks him what they would do at Christmas. Ruka suggests that they watch a movie together or go on fun dates, while Kazuya responded by telling her that he will think about it.
Chizuru watched both of them from a window, and her companions approached her, asking about her plans for the upcoming Christmas. She disclosed to them that she had already made her plans.
Christmas was practically around the corner, and Kazuya felt alone all by himself. He wished to spend Christmas time with Chizuru and chooses to book her for Christmas Eve. However, Chizuru's timetable was already occupied.
Kazuya didn't have any desire to go out with Ruka on Christmas. Hence, he messaged her and lied that he will be going out with his family on Christmas and won't make it.
After going outside to shop for Christmas Eve, he sees Chizuru running in a hurry towards a handsome man. Seeing that, Kazuya couldn't control his feelings and begins to stalk both of them out of curiosity.
While stalking both of them afar, he got to know that the guy’s name was Umi. When Kazuya was alone with him in the bathroom, he heard Umi talking with someone on his phone. Afterward, he felt something was up and decided to tell Chizuru everything that he heard.
On the night of Christmas Eve, Kazuya is at last spotted by Chizuru. She asks what he was doing here, and he blurted out that he was following both of them since the afternoon. She then reminds Kazuya that what he did was stalking.
Afterward, Chizuru reveals a secret to him that she operates as a rental girlfriend to practice acting because she wanted to become an actress. She clears up the misunderstanding about her and Umi and discloses that they go to the same acting classes. After hearing that, Kazuya mentions it was all his misinterpretation and feels relieved.
After Umi takes his leave, Chizuru hands him a phone cover as a Christmas present for his broken phone to justify being the one who broke it.
Upon receiving the gift, Kazuya starts crying, disclosing that it was the first time a girl gave him a Christmas present.
