Plot[]
Since the time they said goodbye to each other, Yuki has been thinking about Itsuomi. At the university she meets with Rin and tells her that she finally got Itsuomi's number. Rin tells her that now they were supposed to meet at the international club.
Yuki turns to see Itsuomi, who is talking to other foreign girls. Rin tells her not to worry about him, because there are boys too, in an attempt to cheer her up.
Itsuomi says goodbye to the foreign girls, unaware of Yuki's presence. Unable to yell at him, Rin calls him out.
Yuki freezes and can only wave her hand. Itsuomi approaches her, looking at her intently. Yuki is embarrassed to look at him, but she musters her courage. At that, Itsuomi asks her if she is not going to sign.
Yuki, embarrassed, goes on to write on her cell phone, but seeing Itsuomi up so close, has a hard time writing. However, she types on her phone that she would like to (sign), but is in college. Itsuomi, reading it, tells her that she is really cute.
Yuki shyly thought that she had read his lips wrong. Itsuomi tells her that he has to catch a plane to Laos. Saying goodbye to her, Rin tells Yuki that when she is with Itsuomi, she is happy and that it can be love. While Yuki is thinking about what Rin told her, Rin catches her attention and points up, seeing Ôshi.
He questions her in sign language about Itsuomi, but a friend of his immediately comes, taking his side and preventing Yuki from knowing what they are talking about. The friend tells Ôshi to invite Rin and Yuki the next time they go out drinking, but Ôshi cuts him off by saying that Yuki can't hear, even with her hearing aids on.
Yuki asks Oshi what's wrong, but he doesn't answer and leaves. Rin is glad that Yuki has a friend who knows sign language, but Yuki tells Rin that he uses them to tease her. Just then she receives a message from Itsuomi asking her about wanting a gift. Rin tells her again that when it comes to Itsuomi, she glows and that it is love, but Yuki has doubts about whether it is love or not. Yuki answers Itsuomi that she does want a souvenir.
A few days later, Itsuomi sends him photos of her trip to Laos, and he confirms that he will return to the university in two days. That morning, when Yuki was waiting for the traffic light to change, she sees Itsuomi on the other side. Yuki greets him, and he signs "good morning." Seeing this, Yuki wishes that what she feels is love.
While Itsuomi is looking for her souvenir, Yuki wanted to ask him many things. Itsuomi asks her to hold out her hand to him, and gives her a keychain, asking her if she likes it or not. Yuki takes out a notebook and writes that she likes the souvenir. As Yuki admires the keychain, Itsuomi pats her head.
Yuki is embarrassed to raise her head, not knowing whether he is speaking to her or not.
