Chapter 2

Ichika is of the Koi to Yobu ni wa Kimochi Warui manga series.

Plot
Ichika Arima arrives home, and there's a delivery for her. She believes it's the manga she ordered. However, it's a rose from Ryō Amakusa. Ichika is a bit perplexed and tells her best friend Rio Amakusa and Ryō's sister about the gift. Rio thinks it's hilarious, much to Ichika's surprise. It seems for the past few days, Rio has been delivering Ryō's gifts sending Ichika gifts, from expensive chocolates to plush toys. So Rio gave him Ichika's address. Moreover, the latter comes to find that this is the first time her admirer has been so smitten. To make matters worse for Ichika, Rio is ok with Ichika dating her brother.

Rio suggests Ichika complain to Ryō about the gifts because he might carry on this routine for eternity if she doesn't. Rio gives Ichika Ryō's mobile number.

It's a typical workday for Ryō, with his female colleagues fawning over him. Suddenly, he receives a phone call from an unknown number - it's Ichika. Ryō is ecstatic that the young woman called him. Ryō goes on and on about the gifts he's gotten Ichika. On the other end, Ichika is quiet. Ryō gets the feeling that he's bothering her. But the young woman corrects and puts his mind one ease. Thus, pushing him to continue his pursuit for Ichicka's love.

Ryō's confession scares Ichika as the young man will continue to express his feelings for her regardless if it bothers the young woman. Unable to contain her emotions, Ichika unleashes an onslaught of insults and hangs up.

The following day, Ichika receives a red carnation. Apparently, "Ichika" is written as "one flower".
