But he couldn't even kiss her properly, and even though he didn't even think about eating her, in the spring of last year, he put his fangs on her face.

A year later at the university, Airdo finds a pamphlet that reports that his ex-girlfriend rabbit, Ako, entered a university beauty pageant, causing Airdo, who did not even know that she returned to university, surprised to see it. They went out for a while and ended up in the worst possible way, so Airdo wonders how Ako will be, since he has not seen her since they resolved the matter of her incident in court, Airdo puts aside the idea of ​​sending her a text message, since she could use that against him, since that's something she would do. Remembering that Ako is at a tennis club, Airdo goes to the court to meet her, wondering that if he meets her in person and apologizes, it will be less awkward if they see each other again in the future, Ako was proud of her face and after he disfigured her, she kicked him in the groin or bit him in fury, the Ako he knows is like that, a fierce and rough rabbit.

But to his surprise, when he meets Ako again, she is cheerful and radiant, hugs Airdo, claiming to be happy that he has come to see her, Ako's companions ask her if he is her boyfriend, but Ako corrupts them and says that Airdo is her ex-boyfriend and the person responsible for the scars on her face, so after an uncomfortable moment of silence, they tell her to get away from her and scold him for coming, but Ako stops them and tells them that she will leave with Airdo and they don't have to worry, canceling their plan to go see the fireworks with them. Feeling that all of this is too strange, Airdo proposes that both of them have a proper talk, while leaving the campus Airdo notices Ako's popularity and finally understands what is happening, Ako has always been quick to read situations and good at acting depending on this, Ako is still the scariest girl he has ever met. Ako leaves her act and asks Airdo why he came to see her after such a long time and on a Friday, claiming that it is difficult for rumors to start on vacation days and he should have visited her on a Monday, Airdo apologizes for making him cancel the date with her friends but Ako claims that if it is better, since she does not like fireworks and surely her entire club will know that he visited her. Airdo wonders how many stitches he made and if he is not the first one who should be blamed for causing those injuries, he simply does not understand, since Ako is not interested in seeing the fireworks, Airdo proposes to go to his house for a drink.

At home, Airdo claims that it is probably the first time they are alone in a room, Ako affirms it and says that her ex-boyfriend inviting her to his house for a drink is definitely a sign of an ulterior adjective, but Airdo alleges that this is not his intention and alleges that to hear her true feelings he would have to go to a place where no one sees them, where they do not have to worry about being seen, since they have always dated in public places because she was obsessed with showing him to everyone who was an interspecies couple and never sat down to talk about it, so he proposes that now they can talk freely.

However, he notices that Ako is unconscious due to her apparent low tolerance for alcohol, but after a moment of silence, Ako tells him that she feels sorry for him and that wound is really so painful, and immediately runs away, while Airdo follows her, Ako tells him that she does not want his pity because her scars will never disappear, so she will take advantage of them as much as he can, she will get more than a million followers on social networks and will write an autobiography based on her scars, so she orders him to stop being so arrogant, since he didn't cause her scars, it was her. Ako's screams are drowned out by the sound of fireworks, so Airdo is the only one who can hear her scream, Airdo claims that she is now better than she has ever been for this moment, and upon reaching Ako, Airdo declares to her and tells her that he loves her, so he asks her to go out appropriately, not for fashion, but as a real couple, Ako accepts giving her as a condition that he specializes in the reconstruction of scars, and until then, he will continue to be devoted to her, and when he starts working as a doctor, she will confess to him again, since that is the kind of story she needs for his autobiography, Airdo laughs and asks her to just wait for him, while they both give each other a hopeful look at each other.
