My personal feeling is that we've already seen indications of the answers to these questions. Hiromi and Shin were practically together from ep11&12 but as we see, even though he has no contact with Noe she still presents herself in his mind at various times. In other words the coming together of Shin+Hiromi was in some ways, anticlimactic and not as conclusive as one would imagine in the situation of a "long term desire". On the second question, at first it may seem that Noe's only relevance is that Shin was "forced" to date her (and that's a commonly expressed sentiment), and yet episode 12 shows, I think, that Shin clearly does believe she has had a much bigger impact on him.
I will say this though: it would be easier for the writers to do a Hiromi ending with Noe also having a positive ending compared to the opposite situation. Well, just a little bit longer and we'll see.....
