| Overview: | All the x-members of the tennis club at Sakura Junior High gather together at the class reunion party on New Years Eve. They're in their twenties now, and Mizuho is excited to finally get to see Tatsuya again, her long-time secret love.
During the class reunion, they plan a ski trip. Their plan is to stay at Mizuho's mother's lodge in the hot spring resort area. Unfortunately, however, in the midst of their stay, Mizuho's mother is taken ill. Instead of having fun with her friends, Mizuho takes on the chores that are usually done by her mother. Although Mizuho insisted that her friends go and have fun skiing, Tatsuya comes to lend a helping hand. This act of kindness gives Mizuho hope that, perhaps, Tatsuya loves her too.
That night, Mizuho's grandfather tells her to stay with them so that she can be close to her mother, instead of going back to her university. Mizuho tells Tatsuya in confidence about the decision she must make and asks what he thinks she should do. To her disappointment, he tells her to make her own decision. Upon returning home, Tatsuya is hit by a car. Worried, Mizuho runs to meet him at the hospital. When she learns that he survived unscathed, she asks him to spend a day with her.
They visit their old Junior High School and reminisce over the past they shared together. That evening, Mizuho tells Tatsuya that she made her decision to leave town and live with her mother. Left behind, Tatsuya feels terrible, wondering what he should have done. His friends tell him to go to Mizuho--act now before it's too late. Tatsuya arrives to find Mizuho wondering if she has made a mistake. She realizes, upon seeing her secret love in front of her, that she shouldn't have left him and reveals her true feelings, which he readily returns.
That night, they make love, and Tatsuya promises to come back again to take her home with him.
