GOOD MORNING CALL

Nao is still reeling from the morning's events but Uehara doesn't remember a thing. Marina suspects something is up and starts asking questions.

Nao tends to Hisashi, who is hospitalized from overworking. A mysterious woman appears. Rumors buzz at school that Hisashi and Nao are an item.

With Christmas Eve fast approaching, an unfortunate encounter with a delivery boy leads Nao to a new job, where she meets Abe, the "confession king."

A confession to Abe confuses Nao's relationship with Uehara further. Later, she hears that he'll be spending New Year's with his coworker, Nanako.

At Marina's suggestion, Nao and Uehara eat lunch bento together in public. It's fun, but she wonders if he's thinking of Yuri when they're together.

Yuri announces she's getting divorced and asks to stay at the apartment. Uehara goes home to his brother, leaving Yuri and Nao to live alone together.

Uehara's older brother, Takuya, tries to explain himself, but Yuri isn't having it and throws away her wedding ring. Nao works to help them reconcile.

Nao overhears Uehara talking about his feelings for her. Too flummoxed to respond, she avoids him. Marina suggests a Valentine's Day date.

Nao finds out Yuri stayed overnight and announces she'll be moving out. Daichi calls Uehara to a one-on-one meeting on the school rooftop.

The parents find out the truth and Uehara leaves to live at home. When her father cancels the contract, Nao runs away and Uehara goes to face him.

In an effort to rebuff Yukari's overtures, Icchan claims Nao is his girlfriend. Uehara overhears, but his lack of a reaction worries Nao.
