01x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

Stop staring at me like that.

Wataru.

Look at me.

When we were apart, I was thinking
about you the whole time too.

But sometimes I wonder
if you didn't miss me as much.

I felt the exact same way.

So I'm really happy.

If you were even a little bit jealous,
that would make me so happy.

I get it, I get it.
Now let me go.

Hold on a second.

I've been holding back a lot.

I know that too.

When summer break comes,
let's go on another pilgrimage.

This time, we'll go wherever you want.

Where I want to go, huh?

All the places I want to go are overseas.

Then we'll have to work
hard at our part-time jobs.

Right?

But putting going abroad aside for now,

let's go somewhere together.

Yeah.

I'll think about it.

I really wish summer break
would hurry up and get here.

I really wish summer break
would hurry up and get here.

What?

Nothing. I just remembered you said the exact
same thing in your second year of high school.

Did I?

You have a great memory.

Of course I remember.

I remember everything about that summer.

I just feel like, whether it
was back then or right now,

I'm the only one whose heart is racing.

Summer break, huh?

[Incoming Call: Saeki]

Saeki?

Wataru, I forgot to
mention something earlier.

Oh?

I was hoping you could help me
thank the senior who gave us the tickets.

Ah, Niimi-san.

I'll tell him.

Also, is it really okay
for Niimi-san to miss it?

It's a rare advance screening, after all.

Ah, about that.

Actually, he originally
asked me to go with him.

Wait, really?

Of course, I was planning
to go with you too.

But I just felt like I wanted to
see it with you for the first time.

After I turned him down,
he just gave me the tickets.

Huh?

Hello?

Saeki, are you still there?

I'm here.

You suddenly went quiet, so I
thought we got disconnected.

No, sorry about that.

I'm just really happy.

I see.

Hey.

It's a bit early, but can
you get May 1st off?

Huh?

Why?

Because it's your birthday.

Oh, right.

Okay.

I'll ask for the day off.

Thanks.

And,

Are you not going to call
me by my first name anymore?

Ah.

Good night, Wataru.

Good night.

Chiharu.

And I had finally calmed down too.

Damn it.

It's all the phone's fault.

I shouldn't have called him.

"My Summer Of You" [Episode 8]

Toda-kun.

That friend from last time
is your movie buddy, right?

Is he not coming to see a movie again?

He's only a freshman, so
he's probably busy with classes.

I see.

Does he have a girlfriend?

A girlfriend?

It's not like I'm interested
in him or anything.

I'm just purely curious
about a handsome guy.

So? Does he?

He probably has someone he's dating.

Why are you getting all shy, Toda-kun?

Huh?

Just bring him along next time.

Right, Saito-san?

You'll give them discount coupons, right?

Give them? Of course I will.

He's a precious handsome guy, after all.

No, I mean, because he's Toda-kun's friend.

But I guess you're right.

If he has a girlfriend,
he'd probably go see movies with her.

Who knows?

I'm going to change the posters over there.

We are dating, right?

Between college and our part-time jobs, we
surprisingly don't have much time to see each other.

Even when we do meet up lately,
the mood just isn't there.

My birthday?

No, no, no.

So what exactly are you
getting so shy about?

I was overthinking things
yesterday and barely slept.

[Calendar Notification:
Deadline for Report Submission]

This is a lifesaver. I think I
can submit my report on time.

You're the best, Sekiguchi senpai.

Thank you so much.

Right, right?

Even though we're at different colleges, you
can totally count on me for general ed classes.

Sorry for taking up your
time before your shift.

Can I treat you to some
ice cream as a thank you?

No need.

Just consider it my
birthday present to you.

- Seriously?
- Yeah.

Then I'll gladly accept.

So, what about Wataru?

Do you have any plans
after you submit your report?

Ah.

I have some plans.

Don't tell me you got yourself a lover?

Alright, deal's off!
Give me back the report.

No, no, it's not like that.

I told you, it's for my part-time job.

Really?

Really.

You're not having someone cook you a
delicious homemade meal to celebrate, are you?

You're not, right?

Right?

- No.
- You're not, right?

- No.
- Really?

- Really?
- I'm serious.

There won't be any scenes of someone
chopping away with a kitchen knife, right?

You're super skilled at this.

My parents are often away for work,
so I cook pretty often.

Even so, it's just average.

Really?

And that does it.

By the way, what fillings do
you want in your rice ba*ls?

Wow, salmon, I guess.

Okay.
Tuna mayo.

Okay.

Mentaiko.

Alright, let's go with those.

Awesome.

Let's make some rice ba*ls then.

Okay, I'll help too.

Put the amount you want to eat on here.

Press a little indent in the middle.

And put the filling in, right?

Yeah, exactly.

I'll make a tuna mayo one.

- Tuna mayo?
- Yeah.

Take this,

- Take this.
- This is really hard.

Put it here, and cover it up a bit.

I see.

- Wataru!
- Whoa, the salmon is spilling out.

Wataru, you're supposed
to shape it into a rice ball.

Okay, okay.

How are you shaping it so well?

Just a little bit like this.

Look, look.

How did it end up like this?

Oh, the thing I've been waiting for.

Are you sure you want to eat this?

Yeah, ever since I watched "The Chef of
South Polar," I've been dying to eat this.

That's good then.

Well then.

Let's eat.

I'll have the tuna mayo then.

Mmm, it's delicious!

Freshly made rice ba*ls are the best.

The way you eat, Wataru,
makes it look really delicious.

Hmm? Does it?

By the way, why are you eating mine?

I just wanted to eat
the rice ball you made.

You're so weird.

Ah, I'll go get some drinks.

I'll help too.

Okay.

Do you want to drink some alcohol?

Huh? But you can't drink yet.

That's true.

But you're already twenty,
so you're legally allowed to drink now.

We'll drink together
after your birthday passes.

I'll save it for June 6th.

I really do love that about you, Wataru.

Don't say it in such a serious tone.

Can I kiss you?

I guess so.

You startled me.

Ah, it's a message from Guchi.

Hmm?

Happy 20th birthday again.

Stay lovey-dovey forever.

Love, Guchi. Heart.

Are you really at your part-time job?

What is it?

Just thinking about how close you guys are.

Even though he beat me to it...

Wataru.

Happy birthday.

Here's your present.

Wow, thanks!

Oh, can I open it now?

Of course.

I wonder what it is.

Whoa, awesome!
It's "The Jet-Black Hawk"!

Hey, looking at this makes
me want to watch a movie.

I figured you'd say that.

Seriously?

Hey, we can keep watching, right?

Alright, let's pull an all-nighter
watching movies today.

Can't we?

No, it's fine.

What should we watch next?

He fell asleep.

Huh? Is it morning...?

Morning...?

Chiharu...?

Wataru, you're awake?

Good morning.

Good morning.

I tried to wake you up,
but you were out cold.

Ah, is it okay that you didn't go home?

It's fine. Totally fine.

Actually, I'm the one who should apologize
for falling asleep while watching.

And sorry for making
you sleep on the couch.

No, it's totally fine.

I wanted to sleep next to you.

But you toss and turn too much.

Huh?

Just kidding.

It's too cramped for two people.

Plus, I was afraid I'd embarrass
you by hugging you in my sleep.

But I got to see your sleeping face a lot,
so I'm already satisfied.

How can he act so nonchalant about it?

Since it was my birthday,

I thought maybe something
like that would happen...

I had a great birthday.

Thanks.

He's so sly.

Still unread.

I'm exhausted.

Today was brutal.

Golden Week is no joke.

"Blueprint" is super
popular right now, too.

The audience is really young.

Everyone's probably going on a
pilgrimage to the filming locations.

Ah, Toda-kun, you went
with Saeki-kun before, right?

Huh?

Ah, Saeki just invited me, that's all.

Wow, that's so nice.

In what universe do you get
invited by a handsome guy?

I see.

Hmm?

Saeki-kun seems cool and aloof,

but he's surprisingly proactive
about this kind of thing.

Huh...?

Does he feel the same way I do?

Can I kiss you?

That's weird.

Still unread.

I heard he transferred schools.

Wataru, what's wrong?

Thank goodness...

You didn't read my
messages or answer my calls.

I figured something was wrong.

Sorry.

After you left,
I felt a bit weak and fell asleep.

But it's nothing serious.



It's definitely because
you slept on the couch.

I'm really sorry.

It's not like that.

I already took some medicine.

I'm fine now.

- See?
- No, wait, hold on.

Why are you trying to kick me out?

No, it'd be bad if you caught it.

I never catch colds. It's fine.

But it's a rare long weekend...

Oh, stop nagging.

Seriously.

If I were sick in bed with a fever,
how would you feel?

I'd want to take care of you.

Exactly.

Alright.

Add this in.

There we go.

Okay, this should be right, yeah?

This should do it... right?

Is this really okay?

It's delicious.

Thank you.

Yeah, I'm glad.

Is there anything else you need help with?

Cleaning, laundry, whatever you need.

Ah, if you're sleepy,
don't hold back, just go to sleep.

I'll just read a bit
while keeping an eye on you anyway.

You look like you're having fun.

No, it's not like I'm
gloating over your misery.

I know.

I just feel bad
making you take care of me.

You know,

even though you usually do
this kind of thing so naturally,

I'm not used to it at all,
so I always end up fumbling around.

That's why I've always
thought you were so sly.

But,

I can tell you're trying really hard.

So at times like this,
I want to step up and show what I can do.

I feel like my temperature
is going up again...

Huh?

Then...

Can I ask you for a favor?

I want you to hold my hand.

Okay.

What's wrong? Can't sleep?

No.

I just feel like it's a
waste to fall asleep.

Plus,

it's frustrating that I want to kiss you
but I can't.

Huh?

Sorry, sorry.

I'm bothering you again, aren't I?

Well... it's not like you can't.

If it's just a quick kiss.

Eh...

No way.

I don't want to get you sick.

Then...

Through the mask.

[Akiyoshi: Let's go to the next
study abroad info session together.]

[Next Episode Preview] I'm planning
to build up a high tolerance for alcohol.

That's totally jinxing it, right?

You wanted to kiss me just now, right?

Am I going to hold him back?

Wataru.

Actually, I wanted to tell you in person.
