A Condition Called Love - Episode 2: My First Boyfriend

In Episode 2, Hotaru openly confesses her new relationship status as Hananoi's girlfriend to her classmates and admits to being surprised by her own romantic involvement. On the way to school, Hananoi offers Hotaru his gloves when he notices she forgot hers.

During a conversation about relationship expectations, Hotaru asks Hananoi about his goals for their relationship, to which Hananoi humorously responds with an exaggerated long-term goal, leading to a misunderstanding.

The next day, Hotaru arrives early to surprise Hananoi but realizes he is always there before her, sparking a series of increasingly early attempts. When she finally succeeds in arriving first, she experiences the anticipation and joy of waiting for someone.

At school, they exchange study notes, and Hananoi appreciates Hotaru's efforts. In their conversation, they begin planning future activities together and decide to write them down to gradually deepen their relationship.

Toward the end of the episode, the two discuss their individual contributions to their relationship, with Hananoi expressing his wish for Hotaru to feel special rather than just fitting in.
