Taiki Inomata, a junior high school badminton player at Eimei Private High School—a prestigious sports school—has a crush on Chinatsu Kano, an upperclassman and star of the girls' basketball team. Every morning, Taiki rushes to the gym, hoping to be the first to practice, but Chinatsu always arrives before him. One day, when Chinatsu accidentally hits Taiki with a basketball, she apologizes and gives him a chocolate bar as a gift.

Determined to meet Chinatsu, Taiki asks his friend Hina for advice on how to make girls happy, but her suggestions don’t convince him. Later, he finds Chinatsu alone in the gym, reading about basketball strategies. When she sneezes, Taiki offers her medicine, and she kindly wraps a scarf around his neck in return when he sneezes. He learns that she knows his name because their mothers used to play on the same basketball team.

Taiki discovers that Chinatsu’s family is moving overseas, but she wants to stay behind to fulfill her dream of competing in a national basketball tournament. Inspired by her dedication, Taiki vows to support her. When Taiki returns home, he is surprised to find Chinatsu in the kitchen. His mother announces that Chinatsu will be living with them starting in spring. The episode ends with Taiki astonished yet hopeful about this unexpected turn of events.
