Picking up the events from the previous installment, A Condition Called Love Episode 7, titled My First Confession, begins with Hinase Hotaru confessing to Saki Hananoi that she truly loves him. Undoubtedly, her words overwhelm the boy.

However, Saki asks her whether she's sure about her feelings. Hotaru replies that while love means different things to different people, she truly believes her feelings for Saki are love. The boy then reveals his own feelings about Hotaru.

Saki says he only wants Hinase Hotaru, and nobody else, including his family or friends. He asks whether Hinase is willing to accept him knowing all these. At that moment, Saki's grandmother arrives. Hotaru leaves Saki's home and the latter accompanies her to the station.

He reminds her about his words and proposes not to talk for a few days. Saki wants Hinase to think about his words and give him a reply later. The next day while shopping, Hinase meets Saki's grandmother, from whom she learns about the boy's parents.

Apparently, Saki's parents are medical volunteers, who travel from one country to another to tend to poor children. Thus, they couldn't give time to their own child. Since his childhood, Saki has been reared by his grandmother.

However, the boy left his grandmother's home to live at his parents' old apartment. Yet Hinase realizes that Saki truly cares about his grandmother, given how he took her to a hospital for a minor cut.

At night, she sends a message to Saki about how she feels that the boy's insistence on not caring about anyone else than her is wrong. Hinase also adds that she misses him. After a few hours, she gets a phone call from Saki, whom she finds standing outside her house.

Hinase quickly runs to the door and hugs Saki Hananoi. Later, they exchange a wholesome moment, where the boy kisses the Hotaru's forehead and confesses his feelings of love.

Following that, the episode shows a post-credit scene, featuring Saki Hananoi in his childhood and a bearded person. The man learns about Saki's parents, so he advises him to live a carefree life, and find someone he truly loves, i.e., a soulmate.

The episode returns to the present and shows Saki preparing breakfast before going to school. He receives a message from Hinase Hotaru and replies that he's missing her.
