To get over his feelings and try to forget about Hina he goes out with friends and meets Rui, who is totally unsociable and unable to hold a conversation but invites him home with her! She does not want to start a relationship, nor does she care about Natsuo, she just wants to have sex because she is a virgin and doubtful she can find 'love' or a boyfriend!
Without much thought Natsuo agrees but afterwards feels guilty for losing his virginity to a girl he doesn't really particularly like. Just having sex with a girl he just met makes him feel he betrayed his crush to Hina! In a twist of fate his father announces that he is getting remarried and a love triangle full of surprises gradually unfolds as Natsuo, Rui, and Hina all end up becoming part of the same family and living under the same roof.
