02x10 - Episode 10

[bunniefuu]

-[Ari] Hey, good morning!
-[all] Morning.

-[Ari] What's good, everyone?
-[Ha-chan] Rise and shine.

We gotta start the day off right.
Good morning, wassup?

-[Leo groans]
-[Ruru laughs]

-He's a little too relaxed. [laughs]
-[Ari] Too what?

-[Kimura] Excuse me.
-[Ha-chan] "Relaxed."

-[Hikaru] Will you stop?
-What? What happened now?

-Seriously, guys.
-[Ma-kun] Hang on.

[Kimura] Sorry to interrupt again,

but there's another thing
I need to tell you all.

KAZU-KUN [29]
HOST CLUB OWNER

-[Ha-chan] Not this again.
-[Kimura] So…

RURU [26]
MODEL

Assun, do you remember
what you did late last night?

Huh? I don't remember.

ASSUN [30]
ENTREPRENEUR/HOSTESS

[Kimura] Well, last night,
there was an incident where you got drunk

and barged into the men's bedroom.

-[Ma-kun] Seriously?
-What?

-[Nagano] What?
-[Kimura] That's what happened.

-No way. I don't remember.
-I was awake at the time.

[Assun] Hey.

-[Nagano] They're asleep.
-Who is it?

-[Assun] Ma-kun.
-He's sleeping.

[Assun] Masaya.

-No, I need to talk to him.
-[man] Uh…

-You can't do that.
-Wake him up.

[Awich and Nagano laugh]

Sorry, but you need to leave the room.

[Awich] Ah, so that was Leo.

[Kimura] To reiterate,
in the hours after bedtime,

both men and women are strictly prohibited
from entering each other's bedrooms.

-Yes.
-[Kimura] That's the rule.

As our school rules say,
no inappropriate relationships

are allowed on campus.

-[Assun] Yes.
-[Kimura] It's clearly written down.

Assun, you were suspended for one day
because of an alcohol-related issue.

And on the exact day you returned…

Mmm-hmm.

…another alcohol-related incident
took place.

We won't be taking
any disciplinary action.

That said, we really urge you
to reflect on your actions.

-Yes.
-[Kimura] That's how we feel.

I'm sorry, everyone,
especially on the final day.

It's okay, we're totally fine.

You've got to be careful
with alcohol, okay, Asuka?

-Yes.
-Behave yourself.

This girl is not gonna shape up
unless someone teaches her a lesson.

So, what would you do, Kazuma?

[Kazu-kun] I'd definitely…

come down hard on her.

[Ma-kun] Yeah, that makes sense.
Hmm… What am I gonna do?

It's tricky when it comes to alcohol.

In all honesty, I feel like
neither side is really wrong.

-Hmm.
-Yeah, yeah.

That's why…

alcohol consumption
is one of the harder issues

to find common ground on, I think.

[moody music playing]

[boy on PA] Tonight is the final night.

Everyone, make up your mind
about your feelings

and prepare for tomorrow's
graduation ceremony.

[Hikaru] Honestly, it doesn't feel like
the final day, does it?

-[Ruru] Right.
-[Ha-chan] It doesn't.

[Ruru] So much happened.
I seriously went through every emotion.

[Ha-chan] Yeah.

-[Ari] Like a roller coaster.
-[Hikaru] We cried, we laughed.

[Ari] If I had to use one word,
it's "growth."

-[Ruru laughs] Fo' sho.
-[Assun] That's cute.

[Ari] Nice growth.

[Ma-kun] And what do we have
in our hearts?

[all] Friendship!

[Ruru] Wow, you finally turned into
a rapper too, Ma-kun. Finally!

-[Ari] A stocky-built rapper.
-[Ma-kun] Hey, don't call me stocky.

[Tai-chan] Here we go.

-Want to sit?
-Yeah.

-[Nagano] Go, Maririn!
-How are you feeling?

[sighs] Hmm…

-So much has happened here.
-Yeah, seriously.

TAI-CHAN [22]
HAIRSTYLIST

MARIRIN [25]
BAR WORKER

Having been able to grow together was one
of those things we can call love.

-Mmm.
-Yeah

-Who should I confess to?
-Mmm.

I feel like I'm the only indecisive one.

Like, I still can't make up my mind
even in the end.

Right.

-Yeah.
-You have until the last second to think.

Either way, I'm rooting for you.

-[Tai-chan] Yeah.
-And I like you.

-I accept every part of you.
-You do? Mmm.

Even if I get rejected,
I feel like I'd be okay with that.

But if there's even one person
in this entire world…

who likes me or thinks I'm special,

then I feel like
I can keep living my life positively.

[Bo] You pretty much made up your mind?

-Hmm…
-Not yet?

Not yet.

[Bo] I see.

Another beautiful moon.

[Hikaru] It really is.

They say the phrase
"the moon is beautiful"

is the Japanese way
of saying "I love you."

Oh, really?

[Bo] I want you and no one else.

My feelings haven't changed
right up until the final day.

BO [27]
COMMERCIAL PAINTER

-Thank you for facing me head-on.
-No problem.

But I also think it's amazing that
you made me want to face you head-on.

-You think so?
-Yeah.

Hmm. I guess when I like someone,
I want to pursue it all the way.

-Hmm.
-[laughs]

[Awich] Everyone's grown so much.

I don't want any regrets.

True that.

Ah, it's the bad boy.
[sighs] Here he comes.

-What are you guys doing?
-What do you want, man?

-[Tai-chan] You talking?
-It's fine, you can talk.

[Hikaru] Oh, wait, let me get my bag.

Did you tell her
everything you wanted to, Bo?

Yeah.

-Then can I borrow Hikaru for a bit?
-[Bo] I didn't ask but…

-Mmm? [chuckles]
-[Nagano] Oh, he's being bold.

Thank you.

[heartfelt music playing]

See ya.

-[Tai-chan] Hey, Bo.
-Yeah.

Well, these two weeks
were heavier than prison.

Yeah.

Facing other people means
facing yourself too, right?

I never did that when I was in prison.

But here, I faced 'em head-on.

And through that,
I think I've grown as a person.

Mmm.

Given the way I am,

I guess it comes down
to what the girls think of me.

[Nagano] What's he gonna say to her?

-Yo, Hikaru.
-[Hikaru] Yo, yo.

I went all in yesterday,
but it completely shattered me.

-So you've been shattered twice?
-Yeah, you're right.

I've probably been shattered
more than anyone here.

-That's okay. That's growth.
-Mmm.

I'm honestly really torn inside right now.

Should I pick up
the shattered pieces of me

and go charging full speed at Ruru again?

Is that the right move? Or should…

should I go to the person
who taught me a lot?

That's me.

-"That's me"?
-[laughing]

You said it. Stop that.

-[laughs] So, am I just delusional?
-No, you're not delusional.

It's you, Hikaru. You're the one
who taught me so many things.

Mmm.

I know I turned my back on you once

and showed you
a seriously pathetic side of me.

Mm…

you've always been there,
somewhere in the back of my mind.

[gentle music playing]

I've never said this out loud before.

Yeah.

I just can't find the answer yet.

Just how much this girl, Hikaru,
like, means to me.

It feels like I finally realized
how deep my feelings for her go.

As for Maririn, first of all,
she has a kind heart

and is always very considerate.

Whenever I was feeling down,
she was always the first to notice.

I mean, should I go for her?

Or should I pick up
the shattered pieces of myself again

and give it a shot with Ruru…

one last time?

I really can't find an answer,
even within myself.

-[Ari] Bo was looking for you.
-[Ha-chan] Bo was looking for me?

-[Ari] Yeah.
-Bo!

[Bo] What do you want?

-Bo!
-[Bo] What do you want?

[Ha-chan laughs]

[Ha-chan] Ari said
you were looking for me.

What? Ari said that?

That guy. [laughs]

Wait, Bo, I'm coming up.
Hold on, stay right there.

[Bo] Don't come up here.

Huh? What did you just say, punk?

-Tired, huh?
-I am.

Thanks, Bo.

-For what?
-Huh?

For what?

-Mmm, well, you know, a guy like you--
-Don't go getting butterflies, dumbass!

[both laughing]

-[Bo yelps playfully]
-[both laughing]

-That's just who I am, okay?
-Oh, I know that already.

It's just so dumb, you know.

Jo-- Oops, I just called you "Jo."

You love to provoke people.

I can't help it. It's just who I am.

-I know that.
-Mmm.

But to be honest, I feel relaxed with you.

-[laughs]
-Yeah, right.

Don't get butterflies now! [laughing]

[Nagano] Look at his face! Right?

-[Megumi] I know.
-[Nagano] Only with Ha-chan.

[Awich] What kind of game is this?

-This girl is dangerous, for real!
-Did that hurt?

[laughs] Come on, this isn't Mad Max.

[Megumi] Seriously.
She's not supposed to whack him.

[Ha-chan] Sorry.

[Bo] Yeah.

-[sighs] Well…
-[Ha-chan] What?

Don't you think making friends is
way easier than finding a girlfriend?

HA-CHAN [27]
FIGHTER/SPORTS TRAINER

I totally agree.
Being here has made me realize

how much I suck at romance

-all over again.
-Yeah, you suck at it.

-Earlier, I-- Huh?
-"Huh?"

Listen, why do you diss me
while I'm still talking?

That's not very polite.

Um, I'm bad at serious conversations.

[laughs] 'Cause your face
is already a joke?

-Exactly.
-[both laugh]

[heartfelt music playing]

It's like his kindness works
in ways you can't even see.

He has so many little, subtle acts
of kindness like that.

So, when I think

and ask myself for real who's the best guy
I want for my boyfriend,

I think it's Bo.

It's just-- Well…

Maybe I've never really made
the first move in romance before,

especially when I wasn't drinking
or anything like that.

But that's not how things work here.

I feel like I'm working up all my courage

to face the truth
and choose Bo. Right now.

-[Ruru] How's it going?
-How's it going? Mm…

-Well, nothing has changed for me.
-[Ruru] Yeah.

My feelings haven't changed at all.

[Ruru] Mmm,

I'm going to confess to you tomorrow.

-Yeah.
-Mmm.

-But still, um…
-But what?

My resolve is set.
I already have my answer.

-That's scary.
-[Ruru laughs]

We've barely talked,
and you're already saying that?

-[Ruru] I know!
-[laughing]

You're making me look like I got rejected.

We've only talked for, like, two minutes,

and you're already like,
"I've made up my mind."

MAXIMUM MANLINESS!

Seriously, that overnight trip
was intense.

What decided it?
What made you think, "He is the one"?

Hmm…

-I decided…
-[Kazu-kun] Yeah?

I decided to stay true
to my own feelings, I guess.

Ah, so no specific thing,
but looking at the whole picture?

Exactly.

How will it shake out?

But she said her resolve was set.

Well, whatever her resolve may be…

I'll support her decision.

And if she chooses me,

I'll face her with everything I've got.

[Leo] How should I put it?

The fact that I've been able to…

[Ruru] Mmm.

…face you this seriously, to be so honest…

makes me a little surprised at myself.

-[Ruru] Mmm.
-Yeah.

From the bottom of my heart,
I'm really glad I met you, Ruru.

[Ruru] Mmm.

I don't think I've ever…

fell for someone
this much before, I mean it.

[Ruru] Mmm. But for me too.

It's like,

after meeting you, and hearing the words
that came out of your mouth…

I'd never had anyone
say those things to me.

It's just… It's all new.

I'd never thought about someone
this much before.

[Leo] Yeah, I get it.

[Ruru] And honestly,
I had so much fun with you here.

-For real.
-Yeah. Same here.

[Ruru] You're always cracking me up, Leo.

-It just comes naturally.
-[Ruru laughs]

-You can be your true self from now on.
-[Ruru] Yeah.

[gentle music playing]

I'm being my true self
right now, talking to you.

[Leo] Yeah, yeah.

[Ruru] And you're the one
who made me feel this way,

you're the one
who helped me grow like this.

[Leo] Yeah.

Seriously…

for these past two weeks,

thank you for always telling me
how you feel, with such passion.

No problem at all.
I just want to be honest with you.

But you know what? I thought
my resolve was set until just now.

Sorry, but to be honest,
I'm completely torn.

Really.

I couldn't find the answer
this whole time.

But now, I think I finally know
what it feels like to be in love.

I can actually feel it, right now.

[Nagano] What?

No matter how this turns out,

I have no regrets.

When I confess tomorrow,
I want to do it with confidence.

I'll tell her how I feel…

put it all out there, through my words

and my emotions.

That's what I want to do.

[music continues]

-I have a lesson I've learned for myself.
-Mmm.

When things seem to be going well,

I think it's because someone
is putting up with me.

Mmm.

That makes sense.

Asuka, let me tell you, I'm the type
of person who puts up with things

until I absolutely can't anymore.

-Yeah, I figured.
-Yeah.

-I don't say anything.
-I want you to stop doing that.

-The reason behind all my past breakups…
-Yeah?

…is because I'd put up with everything
and said nothing for too long--

-That's the worst thing you can do.
-And at the very end, boom. I just snap.

-You must know that.
-Really. I know.

-I hit my limit eventually, you know?
-Yeah.

Yeah, that's just how I am.

[Ari] Seriously, I have so many things
I want to tell you, of course.

[Hikaru] Mmm.

[Ari] Mmm.

Um, you know…

-when I was coming here…
-Mmm?

I was so nervous
because of what happened with my ex.

And I still hadn't completely
gotten over her when I arrived.

Mmm-hmm.

[Ari] I thought there probably
wouldn't be anyone here for me

who could take her place.

But I did come here
with this tiny bit of hope,

wishing that maybe I could find someone

who would show up
and be what she was for me.

[Hikaru] Yeah.

[Ari] And if that person were to show up,

I wanted to…

write an original song for her
and confess my feelings through it.

Mmm.

So, I actually wrote you
a brand-new track,

you know, some new sh*t,

so I was wondering
if it would be all right

if I perform it right now?

Oh, okay.

[both laugh]

[Ari] This is totally weird, right?
[laughs]

-Ready?
-[Hikaru] Yeah, I'm ready.

Here goes.

-[in English] Wassup! Wassup!
-[Ari] Wassup! Wassup!

Look at you, you're a real-deal rapper.

[Ari] Yeah. Well, I wrote it all down.
Just, you know…

-That hit me hard. That's cheating.
-[Ari] Cheating?

Can you stand up for a second?

Look, I mean,

this is how I truly feel.

When I'm rapping,

I don't lie. For real.

Hikaru, I'm…

-[laughs]
-I'm really in love with you.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

-[Hikaru] Yeah.
-For meeting me.

[Hikaru] Thank you.

Well, my ex put a love spell on me,
but it's completely broken now.

I'm already looking toward
the next person.

I have no regrets.
I did everything I could.

Over these past two weeks,
I know I truly gave everything I could.

I can't do any more than this.
I have no regrets at all.

[romantic music playing]

When I think about
whether I like him or not…

I don't know.

Hmm…

Well, it's gonna be Asuka tomorrow.
Of course. Asuka for sure.

I'll confess to her.

I can picture a future with her.

That's why I want
to leave this place with her.

Love is great, isn't it?
It's so warm. It really is.

Receiving it and giving it. Both ways.

Love is great.

Like, honestly,
the more seriously I think about it…

the more I wonder
if I'm really good enough for him,

or if things would actually work
between us.

And then, of course,
there's the alcohol thing.

I'm worried he'll end up
putting up with it without telling me.

Well, I definitely don't want
to put him through that.

So, maybe we're better off
not ending up together.

[soft rock music playing]

[Ruru] Whether we have regrets or not,

-this is ending.
-[Hikaru] Yeah.

Coming here, what I learned most
was the love I received from you all.

I was able to change a lot.

I'm excited for tomorrow.
I'm sad, but excited too.

[Ruru] Right.

It was also a time for me
to reflect on my own flaws.

-That's exactly it.
-[Ruru] Yeah.

If I hadn't come here, I would've
stayed fine living with all of my flaws.

[Assun] Yeah, I didn't even mind
having them before.

I thought about my past too.

About the way
I've lived my life up until now.

[Ruru] Yeah, yeah. I know.

We came for romance,
but we learned so much more than that.

-[Ruru] Yeah.
-[Ha-chan] So true.

It's kind of love
in a broader sense, you know?

-[Ruru] Yeah, exactly.
-[Assun] Not just romantic love,

-but love for our parents too.
-[Ruru] Yeah.

-Maybe this is what Badly In Love is.
-[Hikaru and Ruru] Yeah.

-Shall we huddle up?
-[Assun] Shall we?

Let's do it.

[Ruru] Let's give it our all tomorrow
and tell them how we feel.

-[Megumi] So touching.
-[Ruru] Here we go.

Ready? And…

[all] Badly In Love is the best!

We're family!

-I really love you guys!
-[Ha-chan] Thank you.

-[Ruru] I love you.
-[Ha-chan] Thanks a million.

[Ruru] Yeah, me too, thanks a million.

-Seriously, thank you.
-[Assun] We're a family.

[Ruru] We really are a family.

[Bo] Guys, thank you all for meeting me.

[all] Thank you.

Thank you, everyone.

-Mmm.
-Thank you.

Tomorrow, let's make sure

we all give it everything we've got,
with no regrets.

Yeah, let's go for it
and make it the best day ever.

I'm really glad I came here
and got to meet you guys.

For me, I feel like
I've found true friendship.

It's been real, guys. Seriously.

This is gonna keep me going for life.

This bond we shared here, all of it.

I'm not afraid of anything anymore.

[sniffles]

-[Kazu-kun] I don't want this to end.
-[Bo] Me neither.

[Ari] But it's not gonna end for us,
even after we leave here.

[Bo] Right.

We were able to meet,
thanks to this opportunity.

-Right?
-[Kazu-kun] Damn right.

I love every one of you.
Let's bring our A-game tomorrow!

[all] Let's go!

So, here we are at last.

That's what a dating show
is supposed to be!

-Yes.
-[laughs]

We had to wait until the final episode…

-but it happened.
-[Megumi] Thank you for your patience.

And then Tai-chan, on the day
before the confession, of all days…

[both] Mmm.

…started bringing up Hikaru
all over again.

-Mmm.
-[laughs]

-What's going on with Tai-chan?
-Jeez, Tai-chan is just so wishy-washy.

Tai-chan… But I honestly thought
he should just go with Maririn.

-[Megumi] Exactly.
-Since she's been coming onto him hard.

I wonder who Tai-chan will pick.

-I have no idea.
-[Megumi] Right.

Meanwhile, Bo has feelings for Hikaru,

but Ha-chan declared
she would confess her feelings to Bo.

-Oh, right!
-Yep.

All three of us agree that Bo and Ha-chan
are good together.

-Right.
-Mmm.

Ha-chan's the only one
Bo lets his guard down around, isn't she?

-[Awich] That's true. He does.
-Right?

Ha-chan's really the only one
he shows his face to.

But overall, everyone's faces

-have really changed for the better.
-They have.

-Yeah.
-[both] Mmm.

By the way, in this season,

-the women can confess too.
-[Awich] Yes!

[Nagano] Eh?

I've been thinking about that
this whole time.

-Oh, really? You thought about it?
-I was like, "Let the women confess too!"

-Wow! It's happening.
-That's what I thought.

[boy on PA] Everyone, we will now begin
the graduation ceremony.

GRADUATION

When your name is called,
please step forward,

call the person you have feelings for,

and confess your feelings to them.

If you wish to object, please come forward

and make your own confession.

First up…

Ma-kun.

All right!

-Good luck.
-Thanks.

Well, during our time here,

a lot happened.

But I learned so many things
and I learned them in my own way.

And even after this is over,
they'll live on inside me.

When my time comes, I know
I'll look back on this very moment.

Thank you, guys, so much.

The one I want to confess to is Asuka.

-Come on up.
-Yes.

Well, Asuka, I'm sure you already know,

but from the moment I saw you,
everything about you was exactly my type.

The more I knew you,
the more I fell for you.

We did see you make mistakes,

but you owned up to them, apologized.

I thought that was cool.

I'm still immature too
and still a work-in-progress as a man,

but I swear I'll become
a real man one day.

So, let's leave here together.

Hmm.

[inhales softly]

I really respect
that straightforward side of you

and how incredibly unshakable
your inner core is.

You're like, "I am who I am."

I don't know if that makes things easier
or harder for you, though.

Um, you can be awkward and straightforward
but deeply caring.

And I like you.

And, I think we'll have
a lot of challenges ahead.

But let's get through them…

together.

I look forward to being with you.

-[all applauding]
-[romantic music playing]

-[Ari] Wassup!
-[all whooping]

Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow!

-All right!
-Oh, yay! Oh!

-Yeah!
-[Ari] Wassup!

-I'm about to cry.
-Wow, oh, my God. I'm gonna cry too.

[Ruru] I can feel the tears.

[Maririn] I feel like
I just saw a wedding.

[boy on PA] Next up is…

Ha-chan.

[Awich] Oh, nice.

-Go for it, Ha-chan.
-Yes.

[Nagano] You got this, Ha-chan!

[Megumi] It's her first-ever confession.

Um…

First of all, when I joined
as the transfer student,

I realize I probably didn't make
the best first impression.

But even so…

I was able to…

become part of the group.

I can say this
from the bottom of my heart now.

Mm…

The guy I want to confess
my feelings to is…

Bo.

Please come on up.

Okay.

I'm seriously nervous.

So, to start out…

when I was first trying to fit in,

I said some rude things to you,
because I was drunk.

But even when I was drunk,
you were able to, well,

like…

handle it in your own way.

I really thought so.

And as things went on with you…

I guess since that night,

we started talking and joking around
with each other a lot.

I started noticing…

things like how you are
with your subtle kindness.

I'd like to learn more things
like that about you.

That's simply how I feel.

I hope you'll accept my feelings

with the same kindness
you've always shown me.

I'm sorry.

I like someone else, so I can't.

Yeah. I knew that.

-[Bo] Thank you.
-Thank you, though.

-[Ha-chan] I tried my best.
-[Ruru] Mmm.

-Good job.
-Yeah.

Oh, she did well.

-[Nagano] Ruru is so sweet.
-She was brave.

She was.

-[Megumi] She was so cool.
-Yeah.

I wonder if they would've
ended up together if they'd had more time.

If their story does keep going, we'd love
to see them as a couple, wouldn't we?

[Megumi] Definitely. Right.

I think Bo chose words
he felt would embarrass her the least.

-[Megumi] "I like someone else."
-He kept it nice and short.

[Awich] "I've decided."

[boy on PA] Next up is…

Ari.

Yeah!

Sorry, brothers. I'm going first.

-Go for it.
-All right.

[exhales nervously]

First of all, out in the real world,

you don't get many chances
to express your feelings,

and in my experience,
many people can be cold.

But everyone here
tried their best to welcome each other

and face each other head-on.

A lot of my old perspectives
got turned upside down in a good way.

Thanks to all of you, I've grown so much.
Seriously, thank you!

Thank you.

-[Megumi] That's so sweet.
-[Tai-chan] Thanks, Ari.

So now, during our time here at school,

I've…

fallen for a woman.

And that is…

Hikaru!

-[laughs]
-[Ari] Come on up.

Okay.

-Wassup.
-Hey.

[Awich] What's gonna happen?

-I object!
-[Hikaru chuckles]

[Awich] Ohhh.

[Nagano] Just them?

All right. Then let me go first.

When I got here,

you were the very first person
who caught my eye.

I was like, "Whoa!"

You were the first one
I was interested in,

and we're from the same prefecture.

Well, you're exactly my type,
with the blonde hair and snaggletooth.

I thought, "That's her."

So, yeah, something eventually
just clicked for me. I got hooked.

And along the way,
as we spent time together,

I saw the way you…

thought things through
and took time with decisions.

At first,

I thought maybe you were indecisive
about your feelings.

But once I decided to give
that side of you a chance

and got to know you as a full person,

I realized that was actually…

exactly what I was looking for.

Even that cautious side of you

started to look super lovable
as we spent time here together.

And then, gradually,

my feelings for you
just grew bigger and bigger.

Even when we weren't together,
I couldn't stop thinking about you.

Literally, nonstop.

Yeah. And then I realized, "You know what,
Ari, you must really like her."

I wanted you
to experience true love with me.

I want to be the last boyfriend
you'll ever have in your life.

I swear I'll make you happy.

I hope you'll trust me
and want to be with me.

I'd love to live in Kanagawa together.

[Bo] It's short,
but let me read this aloud.

[Hikaru] Okay.

Um, "Dear Hikaru,

since I first told you how I felt,

this is my first proper letter to you,
apart from the one on Valentine's Day."

"Even after turning me down, thank you
for taking my feelings seriously

when I said I didn't want regrets."

"I've always heard it said
that seeing someone without makeup

will reveal your true feelings,

and for me, that moment alone

was more than enough reason
to be attracted to you."

"When I think about the future,

I can picture a bright one with you."

"And as you opened up to me,
I found myself liking you even more."

"I promise to make you happy,
which is why I ask

that you go out with me."

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Mm…

Mm…

Well, Bo,

you show subtle acts of kindness.

Like, mm…

Like when you carry my bag
before I even notice

-because I always forget it.
-[Bo] Hmm.

I think you're a really great guy.

Mmm. [chuckles]

[Hikaru sighs]

But…

mm…

I wasn't able to fall in love with you.

I understand. Thank you.

Ari.

From day one,

you were, you know,
almost annoyingly telling me all day long.

You know, I was like, "Are you gonna be
rhyming and rapping the whole time?"

You were always expressing
how you felt about me.

Mmm.

And it really got through to me.

I honestly felt so much love from you.

Mm…

And it's meant more than I can say.

Let's go back to Kanagawa together.

Aah, yes!

[Megumi laughs]

Hikaru!

-[Megumi whoops]
-[Nagano] Whoo!

[Awich] Kisses!

[Ruru laughs] She's dying! She's dying!

-My headpiece's gonna come off.
-Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.

-Sorry, brothers. I'm outta here.
-[Hikaru laughs]

-Congrats.
-Thanks, man.

[Tai-chan] Congrats, Ari.

I seriously thought
I was gonna get rejected.

[Kazu-kun laughs]

-[Ari] Seriously, you're the best.
-[Kazu-kun] Let's go!

I really thought I was done.

[feel-good music playing]

[imperceptible]

Viva wassup!

[Bo laughs] That guy…

[boy on PA] Next up is…

Maririn.

-Okay.
-[Ruru] Good luck.

I'll do my best.

Um…

Listening to everyone's confessions,
I'm already about to cry.

But I'll do my best and confess too.

First of all, um…

[sighs]

At first, I was surprised

that it would be so scary
to face reality like this.

I couldn't really open up,

and it took me way too long
to tell you about myself

or to get close to you all.

This was the first time
I had a home-cooked meal.

I'd never sat around a table

and eaten with people,
like a family, before.

Like…

you all looked me straight in the eye

and kept trying to understand me,
even when I stayed insecure.

You really listened to me so much.

So, thank you.

I still have a lot to work on,
but I feel like I've become stronger.

And the person I want to confess
my feelings to is Tai-chan.

-All right.
-[Maririn] Please come up.

[laughs]

I chose you based on my first impression,

but I heard that you had feelings
for someone else,

so I gave you up.

But as we talked more and more,
I got to know your kindness,

and the way you were so natural around me
really got through to me.

I think I already know how you feel,

but I wanted to say it
so I wouldn't have any regrets.

Um, well…

Um…

This is who I am,
so if you're okay with someone like me…

um, yeah, please go out
with me. [chuckles]

Well, first of all, I want to say,

you faced me head-on the whole time.

Thanks for that.

And, well, you were always so honest
and earnest in expressing your emotions,

and your feelings toward me.

I took them to heart.

But having said that,

I don't wanna give up on my own.

And there's still someone
I can't give up on.

So thank you for your honesty,
but right now,

I can't reciprocate.

I'm sorry. But thank you
for facing me head-on. Thank you.

Thank you for listening to me.

-Let's do our best.
-Yeah, good luck.

-Don't make her cry.
-[Tai-chan] No.

-[Nagano] Wow, that was really nice.
-[Megumi] Aw!

-Well done.
-Your hand is so sweaty.

-Are you good?
-Yeah, I'm good.

-[Nagano] She's so kind.
-[Megumi] That's friendship.

[boy on PA] Next up is…

Kazu-kun.

All right.

[exhales]

First of all, in the end,

this experience turned out to be…

a truly precious…

and irreplaceable treasure to me.

I never thought I would grow
as a person at my age.

I never thought I'd discover
a new side of myself.

That's thanks to all of you.

So, thanks, everyone.

The person I want to confess
my feelings to is…

Ruru.

Yes.

-[Maririn] Good luck.
-Here I go.

Hold on a second.

-[Megumi] This is no surprise.
-[Nagano] Yeah.

[Megumi] Leo's been devoted to her
this whole time.

Kazuma, Leo,

let me jump in.

I'll go first.

First of all, compared to everyone else…

we didn't have as much time
to spend with each other.

But the time I spent with you
was the most intense. Truly.

Before I knew it, I'd fallen for you,
even with just the little time we'd had.

After today's graduation ceremony,

we're going back to our ordinary lives.

I wanna say…

even after we go back,

I want to be the one closest
to you, supporting you.

Going to a sauna with the girl I like…

making Valentine's chocolates
and giving them to her…

Looking that person in the eye

and telling her how I feel
in front of everyone like this…

I'd never done any of that.

You should know…

you've claimed so many of my firsts.

It's only right you come home with me.

Ruru, I like you a lot.

All right.

Well, um, at first,

I spent a lot of time worrying
and second-guessing myself.

Mmm.

Honestly, there were times when I thought
finding romance wasn't all that fun,

but being here and watching everyone
approach love so sincerely,

made me want to do that too.

You've turned me down before,

but I felt I still didn't want
to give you up.

I don't want to end it here,

but I do want to see
what lies ahead of us.

I want you, Ruru, to go out with me.

Well, I should begin by saying
you caught my attention from the start.

You were always great company,

and before I knew it,
I was falling for you.

And then, after your date,

you told me what happened at the villa.

You were honest with me.

Even so,

I still believe that nobody feels
more strongly about you than I do.

No one can.

So, out of everything,

that's what I would tell you, Ruru.

I've never been sure about anyone.

I know it's you, Ruru.

It is. And when I leave,

I want you with me.

[sighs]

So, first, Tai-chan.

With you…

I was usually the one who was
always dumping my feelings onto you.

And, every…

every time we talked,

you would say to me,
"Talking with you has changed me."

No matter who
you're talking with, Tai-chan,

you're always able
to express your gratitude

and apologize when you need to.

I think that's one of the best things
I learned from you.

But…

my feelings for you never grew beyond
the feelings I have for Leo and Kazuma.

I'm really glad I met you.

I was able to grow as a person too,
because I got to know you.

Mmm.

-So thank you for coming into my life.
-Thank you.

[sighs]

[sighs]

Leo.

With you…

since we came here,

you have always come on stronger
than anyone else.

You were always honest
about feelings for me.

Every single word you said
resonated with me.

More than anything anyone else said.

Thank you for not wavering

and for communicating your feelings
until the very end.

Thank you.

But the fact is,
when it comes to real life,

there are obstacles…

and as I reflected,
I couldn't get past them.

With the way I feel now,

even if I left here with you,

the truth is,

I think I'd end up hurting you,
eventually.

So…

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

-[gasps] What?
-[Nagano] Look at that.

No!

-Enough! Just turn it off!
-[Megumi laughs] What? Why?

At this point,
let's just make up the ending!

Could she reject all of them?

[sighs]

Well, Kazuma, with you,
you were a transfer student,

so compared to Tai-chan and Leo,

we didn't talk as much

or spend as much time together.

So at first, I…

I wasn't really thinking
about you as an option.

But then, you told me

you'd made Valentine's chocolates
for the first time

and gave them to me.

And then we…
went on that overnight villa trip.

We talked about a lot of things.

It was really intense.

And the walls I'd put up…

that no one could get past…

you tore them down all at once.

But like I told you before, Kazuma…

my concerns about your job,
working in nightlife,

they never completely went away.

So even when you spoke honestly
and shared your feelings with me,

there was still a part of me

that couldn't trust them 100%.

-[Nagano] Uh?
-[Megumi] Hmm?

But time passed,

and something changed inside,

and like, after we did the fireworks,
I found myself thinking,

"I really wish…

I was with Kazuma."

Let's go back together.

-[Nagano and Awich scream]
-[Megumi laughs]

-[Nagano] Man!
-[all applauding]

[Megumi] Congratulations!

-[Kazu-kun] Thank you.
-[Ruru] Thank you.

Wait here a sec.

-Thank you.
-Thanks.

-Thank you.
-[Leo] Thank you.

[Nagano] Aw, Leo's a good man.

[Leo] This way.

-[Megumi] The guys' friendship.
-[Nagano] Tai-chan too.

[Megumi] Seriously, Leo,
you were really cool.

-[Tai-chan] I wish you the best.
-[Ruru] Thank you.

[Megumi] Super cool. Wonderful.

-It's heartbreaking.
-[Nagano] It really is.

You don't just move on from that.

-[Leo sighs] All right.
-[Bo] Leo.

[Maririn] Let's go.

-Thank you.
-Yeah.

-[Awich] So that's it?
-[Nagano] Is it?

[Awich] So it's over.

[Nagano] It's over!

[upbeat pop music playing]

[Nagano] That was fun!

Badly In Love Season 2 was great!

-[Nagano] I'm getting emotional.
-[Megumi] Right?

[Awich] Seriously.
I'm getting butterflies.

EVERYONE'S MARIRIN'S FAMILY
WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK. LOVE YOU!

LET'S DRINK WHEN YOU'RE IN OSAKA

THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING TWO WEEKS!
WE'RE FAMILY!

-[Maririn] It's hard to leave!

[Ha-chan] We all ended up heartbroken.

-Bye, Tai-chan.
-We're the heartbreak crew. [laughs]

[Tai-chan] We went down with dignity.

-Yeah, we did.
-Right?

At least for us,
we made a lot of good memories.

-I did. No regrets.
-[Maririn] It was fun.

-No regrets?
-[Tai-chan] I gave it my all. No regrets.

we need to talk to you.

-What?
-[boy on PA] Please come to the classroom.

[Maririn] Just Tai-chan?

[Tai-chan] Thanks, Leo.

-Bye-bye.
-Let's go home.

Really? Me? What did I do?

[Nagano] Excuse me,

I'm coming in.

GRADUATION

BADLY IN LOVE

[bell chiming]

[Nagano] What's this?

[boy on PA] How was your time
at this school?

Do you feel you've given it
your all with no regrets?

Tai-chan, despite many struggles
and many tears, you showed us growth.

Mmm.

[boy on PA] However, until the very end,
you struggled with who to confess to,

-and were uncertain about finding romance.
-Mmm.

[boy on PA] Would you like to go through
this school again,

-find the woman you love…
-[Nagano laughs] Wait, what?

-…and have another chance?
-[Nagano] Wait, what is this?

[boy on PA] We're saying,
if you're willing to try again, Tai-chan…

then please repeat the year.

Okay.

Yeah.

[theme music playing]

-[Awich] What?
-[Nagano] What does this even mean?

What? It's someone new.

What?

MARINE ACADEMY LOVE

BRING ON THE FIGHT
BRING ON LOVE

UNTIL LOVE BLOOMS,
THE LADIES WALK THROUGH HELL

TO FIND TRUE LOVE,
THE MEN GO TO HELL AND BACK

HANDLE WITH CARE

[Nagano] Huh?

-Wait. Who is that?
-[Awich laughs]

[Megumi] Unknown tattoo.

[man] What the hell?

What's all this crap?

-[thuds]
-Come on, you b*stard!

-[Tai-chan] Who are you?
-[man] Bring it on, dumbass!

[laughing]

BADLY IN LOVE 2
CLASS 2 NOW BEGINS

-[Megumi] So, there you have it.
-[Nagano] What?

Second term of Badly In Love Season 2,

-Part 2 begins!
-Whoa!

-[Megumi] Thank you very much.
-What?

What does this mean?

Um, right, for Part 2,
we have eight new men and women

gathered in Okinawa.

-[Nagano] What the heck?
-A new 14-day love story

-is about to begin.
-What?

So it's not Season 3, it's Part 2.

We'll just keep rolling.

Wait, I'm staying too?

[Megumi] Of course. Yes.

Hey, we can't have you leaving, Sensei.

We're starting again
with the same amount of energy.

-Just end it already.
-[all laughing]
