Full summary:

Chapter 21 sees Jak, who has been feeling remorse and anxiety over his actions with Julia, standing in front of her house, serenading her through a song, which he calls the "coffee song," asking her to let him in and have a coffee with her. Despite having performed this song multitude of times, he feels the most anxious, hitting bum notes and forgetting lyrics, but continues ever so strongly.

Julia finally opens the door, Jak’s guitar falls from his hands, he asks to come in, which she permits, though her body language and tone may seem hostile to some. In the kitchen, Jak awkwardly tries to tell Julia about Vincent and Wayne's latest achievement, only to admit that it's not why he's there. Julia forgives Jak, saying they can be friends again, but Jak rejects the notion, saying he doesn't want to be friends, which leaves Julia baffled.

Jak then admits he's in love with her. Julia is hesitant and resistant initially; she claims it wouldn't work as they know each other too well. Jak challenges her, asking if she was jealous of Natasja, and urges her to admit her feelings for him. Julia finally concedes that she may have had feelings for him but never acted upon them because he never showed any interest.

Feeling emotionally drained, Jak picks up his guitar again and starts to play a song Julia doesn't recognize. It ends with him quietly admitting that he needs to leave and walking out of the house, but not before Julia stops him. Outside, Julia runs a red paintbrush filled with paint across his favorite t-shirt, painting on it, to Jak's shock. She responds with a smile and paints two big red letters on it. When prompted, she confirms that she'll go to the dance with him. Their moment ends with a soft kiss shared between them, promising a potential romance blossoming.

The chapter ends on a cliffhanger note, hinting at an impending romance between the two close friends.
