Episode Title: I Ended Up in the Same Group as the One I Like
For Watarai, who’s always judged by his looks, the first person to ever compliment his personality was a boy named Hioki. On the day they had to choose groups for the school trip, Watarai suggested putting Hioki in the same team as Morosaki, Nakasato, and Hotta, and ended up in the same group as the boy he couldn’t stop thinking about. The more he got to know Hioki, the more precious Hioki became to him. He never planned to confess, but that night by the ocean, the words slipped out. Hioki fell silent, leaving Watarai instantly regretting it… until Hioki finally gave his answer.

WATARAI FELL FOR HIOKI FIRST SINCE HIOKI DIDNT JUDGE WATARAI FOR HIS LOOKS BUT HIS CHARACTER AND HE HEARD HIOKI TALK ABOUT HIM AND HOW HIOKI DESCRIBED HIM AS NICE INSTEAD OF HANDSOME LIKE HOW MOST PEOPLE DESCRIBED HIM AND HIOKI SAW HIM FOR WHO HE WAS SO HE TRIED APPROACHING HIOKI BUT ALWAYS LOST THE CHANCE MAINLY DUE TO HIS FANS, UNTIL HE EVENTUALLY GOT THE CHANCE TO TALK TO HIOKI ON THE SCHOOL TRIP AND NOW WE GO BACK TO WATRAI CONFESSING TO HIOKI AND HIOKI SAID HE NEEDS TIME SINCE HE DOESNT KNOW IF THE FEELINGS HE’S FEELING FOR WATRAI ARE FOR AS FRIEND OR ROMANTICALLY SINCE HE HASN’T DATED OR HAD FRIENDS LIKE THAT BEFORE. And omg the people in their class just called the boys the four heavenly kings since they were so handsome when actually they didn’t even know EACH OTHER’S NAMES I’d expect them to be childhood friends or something.

I really enjoyed seeing Watarai's side of things. Also had to rewatch several times from 21:29. Hiokis' little jump and quick talking was so adorable. The actor is doing such a great job portraying an overwhelmed shy person.

OMG this was such a wholesome ep - i couldn't stop smiling from start to finish - i love Hioki he is such a genuinely good person. little wonder Watarai fell for him. who wouldn't?!? such a sweet, sweet boy. the fact no one else noticed how charming & lovely Hioki is, until Watarai came along - is just shocking. Hioki is a gem of a character, a diamond in the rough **************but loved seeing the whole of the BL from Watarai's perspective. am also kinda shocked that the 4 guys just befriended each other at the start of the school semester. was sure they were childhood buds. *****************************************************also wondering who Ryoto, Morisaki's brother crush is - as he told Watarai they were in the same situation. that's also why he tried to help him in the previous ep. loving this!!!

Wow, the four boys only met four months ago, yet their bond feels like a friendship built over years. Genuine connections like this are so rare, and watching them together feels so real.I love the flashback showing how Watarai started liking Hioki, how everything quietly began. It wasn’t just some random crush. Being popular isn’t always a blessing, and it was Hioki’s small gestures and simple words that pulled Watarai in. After watching episode seven, everything makes sense and connects beautifully back to episode one.Only three episodes left. I’m already feeling sad. I’m really going to miss this show. It’s become my little Sunday comfort, something I look forward to every week.

I like the way Watarai takes care of Hioki, and does not leave him alone. I'm so happy that Watarai finally confessed his feelings to Hioki. Sadly, Hioki is drunk; he'll probably forget it.
