Firstly, she didn’t didn’t break off her partnership with Futoshi just to get closer to Mitsuru; she was worried for him because of how he closed himself off from others and how it was affecting him, and she wanted to help him. Futoshi was devastated and Kokoro admitted she felt bad for hurting him. However, Futoshi didn’t blame Kokoro because he decided to let her do what made her happy, and the two of them remained friendly.

Second, she didn’t make Mitsuru feel forced to conceive a baby with her; the scene in the greenhouse of ep. 17 was an act of impulse and she later apologized for making him feel she was forcing him. His initial reaction of her talking about making babies and propositing him was co fusion because he didn’t know anything about sex and procreation. But once he learned why she wanted a baby, he understood and wanted to make her happy. Which led to them having a consensual intimate relationship.
