The chapter opens with Hiroyuki's declaration that he's not in love with anyone. He's just thinking about Asano. He asks Hiroyuki if he could see him in a similar way. Hiroyuki says that he doesn't think it's possible, but that he would like to see Asano less outside of his job. He also says that Asano is cute, but not as serious as Hiroyuki thinks he is. He says that Hiroyuki is just a friend of his at work, and that nothing more is expected of him outside of work. As he leaves, Hiroyuki tells him that he looks much healthier than he did the day before. He thanks him for looking out for him, and says he'll be back soon. He gives a shout-out to the cafeteria, where Hiroyuki and Asano are dining. As Hiroyuki leaves, he kisses Asano on the lips. He tries to kiss him back, but he can't seem to get the kiss to go away. He tells Asano that he won't give in to his feelings for Hiroyuki, and then he tries to squeeze Asano's ass with his tongue. As soon as he squeezes, he feels as though he has to stop.
