There are three details clearly remembered.

The first one was the blond boy who stared at the high school female classmate for a long time. After walking into the bathroom for a long time, the second boy wiped the corner of his eyes.

The second is that the male protagonist bathes his father. After insisting on letting his grandma go out, the weak father patted his son's hand with difficulty and said thank you.

The last one is that after the second male left, the male protagonist went to the second male's room to lose his temper, then took the second male's red sweater and put it on silently.

There are many other small but very real details, such as grandma hugging her clothes and almost crying after throwing away the condom, or the second male touching the male protagonist's hand with one finger to comfort him in the hospital, etc. The director is very good at grasping the details and can move the heart with these soft details.
