The narrator and his friend, Mina gawa, are out for a walk. They've been out for half a year, but they haven't yet kissed each other. Mina says that she's never kissed anyone, and the narrator says that's fine, since he's "pop ular" . Mina replies that she doesn't care what people think of her. The narrator is worried that they're going to get into a fight, but Mina says they'll be fine. The two of them hide behind a tree, and Mina says, "See . . I'm very nervous, but at the same time, I have to take it." The narrator asks why Mina is laughing so much, and she says it's because she is "embarrassed" , and that she needs to "set the mood" for them to go out together. She says she loves her, but she can't show her face, because she wants to hide her "embarrassment."
