The narrator shares a story of how he attempted to get a girlfriend in just 8 days. He starts by sending a message to a girl named Luna on Instagram, complimenting her beauty. After a few days of conversation, they decide to talk on the phone, and their conversation goes well. However, when the narrator asks Luna out on a date, she declines, saying she's going out with her sister and her boyfriend. Despite this, the narrator continues to chat with Luna, and on the 7th day, she agrees to meet up. When they meet, the narrator gives her a yellow flower, just like in a song he had mentioned earlier. However, the story takes an unexpected turn when the narrator reveals that he and Luna decided to just be friends, rather than pursuing a romantic relationship.
