Nagi and Sakura meet for tea. Nagi is sad hearing Sakura and Shinobu are no longer together. She tells Sakura that she always thought they would be forever. Sakura says that she thought that too, but Shinobu threw that away. Nagi can't believe it, she asks Sakura if Shinobu really said that... Sakura has no answer, but look at the time, she has to go.
A seed was planted.
Nagi looks for Shinobu. When she meets him, Fumi is there. She thinks Shinobu did betray Sakura, and let's them have it. Fumi tries to reac but Shinobu stops her. He just confirms everything Nagi is saying and Nagi leaves angry.
Fumi meets Nagi. She wanted to make things clear. She doesn't want Nagi to think less of Shinobu. He tells her of the misunderstanding and that Shinobu found comfort in her arms months after the break up. Nagi sees the big picture.
In the set Nagi sees Sakura and fuccboi. They are an item and recently became official. Sakura smiles but her eyes have a shadow when no one's looking. Nagi goes to her in her final day of shooting. She just tells her that it's a pity that two people who once loved each other so much have parted ways due to not facing each other in the crucial moments.
Sakura's bubble finally shatters. She thinks of fuccboi, she does have feelings for him after so many months, but she has to talk to Shinobu. She starts spiraling because, "why didn't I faced a man who always loved me unconditionally."
She finally goes after Shinobu. She learns that he is dating Fumi. She assumes that he did indeed betray her. But finally she has grown. She wants to hear it from Shinobu. She wants to know what happened all those months ago. Fumi learns that Sakura wants to meet Shinobu. She is afraid. Shinobu tells her that Sakura has send him a message wanting to meet. Fumi doesn't want him to go. Shinobu apologises but he needs to see it through. She let's him go. But she breaks down crying as he leaves.
They meet. They talk about their careers, how far they went. Finally Sakura asks him the question. He says she was right, he was going to leave her, he was dating Fumi. Becuase he wants to set her free. Sakura hears it, hardens her heart and leaves.
As Shinobu is walking away, tears falling down is eyes, Sakura grabs her arm. Because as she was leaving she realizes that Shinobu would confirm what she asked regardless of the truth because he wanted her to be happy and she was in a good place.
Shinobu breaks down. The truth starts to come out. They can't make a scene in the street so they go to a love hotel. fuccboi was following Sakura, and he sees them entering. He can't believe it.
In the room, Shinobu and Sakura finally talk about the break up. Sakura finally learns the truth. She spirals once again, but Shinobu says that it doesn't matter. It's not her fault, she did what she needed to do with what she knew. But Sakura drops the "i never stopped loving you" bomb. Starts undressing and takes the initiative.
Shinobu let's himself go but eventually he makes her stop. He is with Fumi now, and can't do that to her. Sakura asks him if he stopped loving her. Shinobu doesn't answer. He simply says that they both have different lives now, they are both on the path to their dreams and he is happy that he contributed to Sakura's. He wishes all the best.
Sakura cries, she was the one that destroyed what they have.
As Shinobu leaves he is confronted by fuccboi. "what have you done to Sakura" "how dare you showing yourself to her" Shinobu just pushes him away and leaves. he has nothing to say to him.
Later Sakura leaves the hotel and fuccboi is still there. Sakura says that she learned the truth. She says that it wasn't his place to tell Shinobu anything, that she can't look at him now. and leaves. fuccboi is left there.
Shinobu returns home Fumi is nowhere to be seen. He decides to work on his next project. Fumi will star in it. In the early morning, Fumi arrives. Shinobu is there and she flabbergasted. I thought... shinobu smiles and says, it's done. now I'm completely free. She falls down crying.... "i-i i thought you left" Shinobu simply smiles at her... She tries to say that she went for drinks and something had happened... But Shinobu says yesterday doesn't matter. And they watch the sunrise together.
Sakura feels like a worthless woman. Days later she finally relents to a director that wanted to give her a part in exchange for some "private guidance." She gets the part. fuccboi goes to her. The director had told him that Sakura got the part due to her impressive skills, that fuccboi had taught her well, subtext is obvious. He breaks down, he apologizes, he tells her how much he loves her, that he did all he could the way he knew how to make her happy.
Sakura relents. they take it slow from there. She thinks about everything that has happened. How things turned out to be. She decides to leave the past and face the future.
