So... let's see here...
Chapter 1: Ito's favorite idol shatters her illusion of her by acting like an entitled brat and she tells her off, which makes Sumika want to get to know Ito better and to learn how to become this ideal idol she seeks.
Chapter 2: Ito gets roped into playing a non-speaking role in her drama that, for some reason, gets kissed, and Sumika actually kisses her instead of doing a "stage kiss". Also, Ito overhears some people spreading rumors that Sumika has a horrible personality.
Chapter 3: Sumika has to fill out a questionnaire that she has no clue about so she seeks the help of the only person she feels could help her: Ito. They go out on a date and, from all appearances, have a really good time. Some rude girls recognize Sumika and put down Ito, but Sumika refuses to give them a selfie because she's "on a date", with a little show of dominance and it is clear that she is actually starting to have feelings.
Chapter 4: Ito and her friend attend the event the questionnaire was for and Sumika does a pretty good job of making a girl who has similar self-esteem issues to Ito feel better about herself, thinking she did a good job, and Ito starts telling her off because it is too similar to the two-faced type of things the girl-next-door, who she obviously used to crush on, used to say to her face, despite saying mean things about her to her friends. Then the girl-next-door herself shows up and throws Ito into a whirlwind of panic and she pretty much makes Sumika feel like SHE was the one at fault when, this time, it was ALL ITO.
Chapter 5: Sumika is depressed AF. She wants to quit her job but is convinced that she needs to be a professional. The jerk from before (most likely) posts trash talk about Sumika being a horrible person and her management team tries to keep it from her. In her depressed state, Sumika wanders off after a shoot, worrying everyone. Ito figures out that it's probably her fault so she helps look for her, finds her, then, Sumika convinces her to let her play in the school pool, where Sumika confesses to her and what does Ito do? Does she think back on the fact that she has actually gotten to know this girl as a person and enjoyed her time with her? NO! She DOES come to the realization that her IDEALIZED idol Sumika is not a real person that exists in the real world, but does that realization help her come to grips with the fact that the "uncomfortable feelings" she has when she thinks about her might be something to do with attraction and romantic interest?
NO!
She takes it as some sort of personal affront and rejects her outright!
Ito is, frankly, damaged goods thanks to her girl-next-door and is currently a raging bitch! Sumika seemed like a bitch at the beginning, but at this point, I don't think she is one.
