A brief synopsis of Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? episode 5

Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? episode 5, titled "A Hunk and Morning Glory Yukata," begins with a flashback to when Yuu and Himari’s friendship first blossomed. At that time, Himari made Yuu promise they would always remain best friends and that he would never fall for her.
In the present, however, Yuu admits that he has indeed fallen for her but chooses to act as if nothing has changed, despite moments where his true feelings almost slip out. Similarly, Himari tries to suppress her emotions but finds herself flustered whenever Yuu gets close.
As Yuu struggles with his midterm retakes, having neglected studying to craft a ring for Himari, she volunteers to help him prepare. As they chat happily, Rion comes across, but apologizes and quickly walks away, visibly disheartened.
Though Rion begins avoiding Himari, Himari discovers that Shinji was the one who leaked that Yuu is the creator of the flower accessories. When she confronts him, Shinji confesses that he did it to help Rion win Yuu over. Himari, however, refuses to give up, even if it risks her friendship with Rion. With that, the conflict between her and Shinji intensifies.
Later, Hibari assists Yuu with studying at Himari’s house, and he ends up staying the night. The following day, when Hibari drops them off at school and Rion learns that Yuu stayed over, she insists on joining their study sessions as well, determined not to let Yuu and Himari grow any closer, closing episode 5 on a tense but amusing note.
