Then Jun rode off, leaving Shin in total amazement. Was there any kind of contract signed? No, it was just a gentleman's agreement. Jun didn't need to know whether Shin agreed to it, after all he was the one who came up with it, plus what kind of a man that doesn't have the bravery to do what he dares others to? So stop saying he ran away with it, OK? Then what? Like tons of opportunity for both Shin and Hiromi to tell Jun the joke had to end. But instead they just played along with it. Hiromi could always apologize and tell him she'd said it out of confusion just to shoo Tomoyo away or sth along those lines.
What's more:
+Jun did it for his sister. He knew about her feelings, so he'd agree to such a condition-->Now Noe's happy. (If there's anything you can call sacrifice, this would be it)
-Why did Shin do it? He was a clueless (and that's not an excuse) idiot who never thought it through.-->Now Hiromi's screwed up.
+Hiromi can break up with Jun any day without being heart-broken.
-After lying to himself, Shin went on to deceive Noe. Lovely. Or should I say, self-centered.
P.S: After Jun walked Hiromi home, she did think about him for a moment, this is probably a hint for future development. If everything works out for everybody in the end, then maybe Shin was not toying with Noe after all, and I'll be more than happy to forgive him for all his sins (ye I know I'm not God )
I was not saying that Shin is blameless, oh no he has done so many terrible things, but everything he did was trying to help other and never without thinking for a moment that he was steping on others feelings. Jun is ruthless, he doesn't care who gets hurt as long as his sister is happy. Shin was unlucky that he got involved with Noe in the first place.

Maybe Jun just want Noe to grow up and he thinks that dating someone will help do that. Shin suffers from diarrhea of the Mouth, I grant that much. Still Jun took a bluff as a deal! Even shin told Jun that he never agreed to the deal(this is a fact, not my opinion, he told Jun this when he was stocking him in the rice field), but now he is stuck because if he doesn't do his part Jun break ups with Hiromi. I give 60% of the fault to Jun and 40% to shin!
