To be honest, if it turns out that they don't get together, it wouldn't be the end of the world.
There's a whole other life waiting for her after she graduates (assuming no-one else shows up in her last year of school), and if things aren't meant to be with Junichi here, that just means the window would be open to find the right person at some other point in her life.
Of course, it's hard to have such a view when you are still in that school environment, so it's quite natural to imagine Rihoko not being too ready or able to imagine it happening...
...but then, life seldom works out in quite the way any of us imagine it to.
(Indeed, one thing she could learn somewhere down the line, perhaps, is how not to do things; maybe next time, if she finds someone with whom there could be that spark of a relationship, she might learn to be a little more forward with her own feelings.)
