"Akenon, did I really have to come wth you to karaoke? Things are not so going not so great in our friend group." Megumi grumbled and complained as Akenon dragged her by her wrist. "Oh, come on! Me and Ishikawa planned this karaoke session to break the ice! It won't hurt!" Akenon giggled as Megumi gave up trying to refuse.

When they got to the karaoke room, Megumi saw Ishikawa, Yoshikawa, Hori, Miyamura, Itsuki, and Chitose. "I still don't see why she has to be here." Megumi gestured toward Chitose, who was too busy talking to Miyamura. "She's part of the gang now!" Yoshikawa smiled. Megumi glared daggers at Chitose. "Home wrecker." She mumbled at Chitose as Akenon tilted her head and blinked several times.

"Who's goin' first?" Ishikawa asked the group as Chitose put her hand up. "Me! I wanna duet Izukkun!" Chitose put her hand up as Miyamura rubbed the back of his neck. "Actually, I have a sore throat... I'll just watch." Miyamura chuckled awkwardly as Megumi stood up. "I'll do it then." She furrowed her eyebrows slightly and crossed her arms as Chitose's eyebrow twitched. "You don't have to." Chitose tried to keep her smiley face on but somewhat failed. "I will." Megumi replied with a stern look as everyone in the room stiffened up. "Cat fight." Ishikawa whispered in a sing-song tone as Hori nudged him, obviously annoyed.

Megumi and Chitose finally decided on singing "Bitter Bitter Sweet" which was a two girl duet. Chitose sang Yui's part (high voice) and Megumi sang Yukino's part (low voice), even though she could do both. Megumi and Chitose both gripped the mic and glared at each other intensely, as if they were about to full on battle. "Okay, start!" Yoshikawa yelled gleefully, trying to hide her concern as the opening music started playing. Chitose and Megumi's voices sounded exactly like the real song, which made everyone surprised. When the chorus came, Chitose and Megumi actually looked like they were enjoying themselves and having fun signing with each other. It looked like they were real friends. Their smiles were not fake, and they seemed to forget about their rival for just that one song. They laughed during the instrumentals and claps along with each other's verses, which surprised everybody even more. They both sang the lyrics with a smile, dancing in time with the song, their eyes full of joy as they were obviously having fun, it was not some facade.

When the song ended, they both laughed with each other and hugged out of joy. Suddenly, they realised everyone's eyes on them and immediately realised what they were doing. They were having fun, like real friends. Megumi and Chitose both have a big "KYAA!!" And swiftly backed away from each other. Megumi brushed herself off, crossed her arms and let out a "Hmp!" While Chitose fixed her hair and went back to her seat in a disgusted tone. "They could be friends if they wanted to." Yoshikawa sighed as Hori rolled her eyes. "Puh-lease. They are only enemies because of Miyamura." Hori slumped back onto her seat.

The rest of the karaoke session went by like a breeze as everyone agreed to have dinner at a restaurant together. "Hey Takeshita, is water wet?" Ishikawa asked randomly as he seemed to be lost in his thoughts as the group was walking together. "Idiot, what kind of question was that?" Megumi grumbled as Ishikawa smiled awkwardly. "Erm... a out-of-curiosity question?" Ishikawa acted like a know-it-all as Megumi gave him a stern look. "You better stop talking to me right now, my brain is getting tired from this unnecessary conversation." Megumi shot back in a tsundere tone as Ishikawa chuckled out of fear and backed himself up to talk to Akenon, "She's turning into a tsundere for sure, I think I liked her better when she was a kuudere." Ishikawa sighed out of exhaustion as Akenon linked her arm with his, which made Ishikawa blush a bit. "Well, she's expressing more emotion I guess? Like, anger emotions." Akenon smiled at her boyfriend as he inhaled through enclosed teeth.

When they got at the restaurant, they sat in a booth. The first side of the booth was Yoshikawa, Hori, Akenon, and Megumi. The other side was Miyamura and Chitose. "Heh... I don't think we have enough room here for all of us." Yoshikawa pointed out as she spoke to her side of the booth. Megumi knew that Yoshikawa was gesturing for her to move. Megumi sighed and moved sides so she sat next to Miyamura, and Miyamura was now between Megumi and Chitose. Chitose was snuggling up to Miyamura while Megumi kept her distance.

After they ordered, the group dug in to their food. Megumi tried to order something new like yuzu juice, and Miyamura tried something different too; an iced coffee.  Megumi took one sip of the yuzu and shook her head with no emotion. She pushed the yuzu away from her as Miyamura tried his iced coffee and did the same with more disgusted face. "H-hey, do you want to switch, Megumi-san?" Miyamura asked awkwardly. "I don't see why not." Megumi said as she glanced over at Miyamura's drink, which was her favourite iced coffee. Megumi's drink so happened to be Miyamura's favourite yuzu as well. "I drank some.. so it would be like-." Miyamura was about to say  "It would be like an indirect kiss" but Megumi interrupted him by grabbing the iced coffee and drinking it with no hesitation. Miyamura then started blushing heavily. He looked at her with a flustered face as she noticed and looked back at him. "We've kissed before. This is fine." Megumi said in a tsundere tone as she continued eating her takoyaki.

"Guys, let's play truth or dare!" Akenon suggested as everyone nodded in approval. "Okay first me!" Chitose yelled as Yoshikawa asked in a cheery tone, "Truth or dare?" Akenon then thought for about two seconds and replied with dare. "I dare you Chisote, to kiss Miyamura." Hori sneered as she laughed a bit and gave Megumi a look. She knew what she was doing. Chitose turned bright red and Miyamura chuckled uncomfortably as he rubbed the back of his neck. "A dare is a dare." Hori clarified as she kept giving Megumi looks and whispered from across the booth, "You can't do anything about it. If you object, it'll look like you still have feelings for him. But of course, you don't want them to kiss, do you?" Hori furrowed her eyebrows with a sneaky smile as Megumi crossed her arms and scoffed. But Hori was right. There was no way out of this.
