In Japan, it's quite normal for a girl to take the initiative and confess her feelings to a boy.
So, for Tokairin Yūko, when Doctor Qingdai suggested she should define her relationship with Inomata Naoki, she didn't see anything wrong with it, nor did she feel that it was inappropriate for a girl to confess first.
However, she still hesitated and felt uncertain. Although she indeed liked Inomata Naoki very much, was she really ready to make him her boyfriend, or even her husband?
If it had been the old Tokairin Yūko, she might have made up her mind without any hesitation, but the Tokairin Yūko of today felt she needed to think it over and also listen to what her friends thought.
"Meiqin, do you think I should confess to Mr. Naoki as Doctor Qingdai suggested?" Tokairin Yūko looked anxiously at Misumi Meiqin, wanting to know how her close friend viewed this matter.
