When La la land cafe had finally closed for the night, all staff had to render a few more minutes inside the establishment to clean whatever mess was made by their customers.
Hayashi Sakura was wiping the tables on the event lounge when she suddenly recalled what Yamaguchi Alan had said to her earlier.
["You look like that special girl whom I have liked for quite some time now…"]
What? Special girl? So their friend does have someone he likes but he never once told them about it. Perhaps he doesn't trust them anymore and instead he is relying more from his new set of friends who did nothing but ask him to drink or go to a mixer with them?
With that, Sakura is quite annoyed with Alan right now. She thought they were already close enough for them to share each other's secrets. She did tell hers back when she cooked ramen for them both, how come he doesn't trust her any longer?
