For context, Takumi is the bass player in the band (Red Flag), whom Hachiko falls in love with as soon as he gives her time. Things get complicated between the two when Hachiko senses her feelings for her friend Nobu and Hachiko becomes pregnant. Hachiko, out of necessity, decided to stay with Takumi because he could be the father of his child, but that decision irrevocably affected Nobu’s relationship with her roommate, Nana Osaki. Takumi routinely verbally abused Hachiko, forcing himself on her and exposing every aspect of her social life under the guise of keeping their relationship a secret from fans. To make matters worse, the man cheated on her even after the birth of the child, and the father of the second child is still very up in the air.
