[bunniefuu]

What does it take...

[Truly falling for someone.]

...to truly fall for someone?

So, this friend of yours
hated him at first,

but slowly started to like him, right?

Does "liking" someone mean
wanting to be by their side forever?

Maybe I can only be my true self
when I'm with Na-chan.

That's a secret just between you and me.

It's a promise.

I understand.

"Your Summer, My Storm"
[Episode 5]

All right, let's begin
today's cooking class.

- Okay.
- Looking forward to it.

What are we making today?

I can't wait.

Here.

Why do I have to join too?

A bet is a bet, so stop complaining.

No way.

Come on, please.

[1 hour ago]
I am not going to be my mom's student.

I heard everyone else there
is older than me.

Aren't you good at handling
this kind of stuff, So-chan?

At least come with me for the first class.

Please?

Good luck with that.

Na-chan.

You're so annoying.

How about this...

Let's settle this with a game.

Ready... go!

Yes, I win!

Damn it, I lost.

Why did I even agree to play?

Just accept your fate.

We have two new students joining us today.

This is Kobayakawa Sota-san.

- The pleasure is mine.
- Looking forward to it.

You look great in that apron.

We're the boys' team. Nice to meet you all.

And this is my son, Natsuki.

He might be a bit of a handful.

Please feel free to put him to work.

Nice to meet you.

I never thought the day would come
when I'd get to cook with Natsuki.

- Right?
- As a fan, I'm absolutely thrilled.

Men who can cook are very popular.

- Oh, stop it.
- So that's what you're after.

- Who would've thought?
- That's not it at all.

I'm just giving some advice
to a young man struggling with love.

Everyone, let's wrap
up the chatting for now.

Yanagi-san, this is your
fault. You got us scolded.

Huh? Is it my fault?

Today, we'll be using olive oil

to make two types of salads, gazpacho,

and pasta.

For the ingredients, we have...

[Sanada Ryunken]
Welcome!

Ah!

Why are you yelling all of a sudden?

It seems Natsuki has a crush on someone.

Huh?

Who is it?

No, I don't know who it is either.

What the heck...

But he came to me for relationship advice
under the guise of "asking for a friend."

That's definitely about himself, right?

- Right?
- Yeah.

By the way, when did this start?

Well, it sounds like he's
trying to steal someone's girl.

What?

Is Natsuki having an affair?

No, it doesn't seem like that either.

It sounds like he fell for the
girlfriend of someone close to him.

Are you serious?

But I don't think he specifically
said it was someone close to him...

What was it again?

A lover?

Wow.

That's amazing...

Sota-san, you're incredible.

Thank you.

Your willingness to challenge yourself
with anything is a great trait to have.

He already likes cooking, doesn't he?

You can tell a lot about a person's
attitude from just one thing.

Natsuki, you should learn from him.

Ouch!

Stop exaggerating and get to work.

Here, take the cucumber and start chopping.

What's wrong?

Your socks.

Huh?

Ah, huh?

How did that happen? I
swear I put on a matching pair.

So-chan surprisingly has a clumsy side too.

That's not true at all.

Didn't you wear your T-shirt
inside out last time too?

That's because it's hard
to tell with a white T-shirt.

Is that so?

I'm serious!

Mmm, delicious.

That's the cucumber I chopped, you know.

Chopping the cucumber is all you did.

Well, if I hurt my hand, it
would affect my studies.

That's true.

Do you want some too, Na-chan?

- Here.
- Huh?

Open wide.

It's good.

I was going to feed it to you.

- No thanks.
- Why are you being so shy?

They seem to be having a lot of fun.

Watching handsome guys
fool around is so therapeutic.

It's a real feast for the eyes.

It's not yours.

Here, Yui, enjoy.

Natsuki in love, huh...

Does Rio-san know about this?

Is Rio still in Okinawa?

Yeah.

Ah.

Hmm?

Looks like she'll be back soon.

Let's eat.

Here... enjoy.

Great, isn't it?

Fuku-chan, you didn't even make these.

My bad.

I just came to return the plates.

And you even let me join in.

Your timing is impeccable.

- Delicious.
- He really nailed the timing.

The ratio of guys today... or rather, the
ratio of handsome guys is especially high.

It's quite rare.

To think there are guys in
Towako-san's cooking class.

Yeah, Yanagi-san is the second,
and Sota-san is the third.

Why did you decide to take
cooking classes, Yanagi-san?

I wanted to make better
bento boxes for my grandson.

The kindergarten he goes to
requires them to bring their own lunch.

Wait, you make all of Riku's bento boxes?

Because I'm the only one who can.

His mom is swamped with work
and is incredibly busy every day.

So Yanagi-san makes all of Riku's lunches.

At first, he couldn't even tell the
difference between tamagoyaki and a fried egg.

- He's really improved a lot.
- Please don't bring that up.

No, Yanagi-san is truly amazing.

My dad used to cook for
me when I was little too.

But it was always just rice with pickled
plum, the simplest bento you could imagine.

Looking back on it now,
it's just a funny memory.

By the way, Kaoru-san.

Last time, you went out of your way to teach me
how many slices per loaf to buy at the bakery.

That really helped me out a lot.

You're very welcome.

Did the sandwiches turn out well?

Thanks to you, Riku happily ate them all.

Riku is a lucky boy.

He even told me he wants
a character bento next time.

A character bento?

Yanagi-san, I'm so impressed by you.

Eat up...

- Not again.
- I told you, you didn't make these.

Natsuki, go feed Rock.

Ah, okay.

Careful.

I got this.

Huh?

Ah!

See? I told you to be careful.

I'm home!

Huh?

- Rock!
- Huh?

I'm home!

Welcome back.

Did you say you were coming back today?

Did I not?

I didn't hear anything about it.

Is that so?

Ah, Sota.

I'm back.

Welcome back.

How was Okinawa?

It was amazing.

Ah, you must have caught a cold because you
missed me too much while I was gone, right?

No, I'm fine.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Ah, here's a souvenir.

Thank you.

Natsuki.

Have you been studying hard?

Of course.

Really?

At this rate, his next mock
exam scores should improve a lot.

That's pretty impressive.

It's nothing much.

That's Sota for you.

I'm the impressive one here, right?

- Um, Rio.
- Hmm?

Did you buy the Okinawan salt?

- Ah...
- Huh?

Did you forget?

I reminded you so many times.

You can just buy it online.

Then it wouldn't be a souvenir.

Isn't that right, Sota-san?

Exactly.

- Yeah.
- Huh?

Oh, come on.

Did my mom somehow rope you in
while I was away?

He even came to the cooking class today.

Right?

- Wait, Sota did?
- So she's back...

Okay.

[So close!]

[That's it.]

[Truly falling for someone.]

What does it take
to truly fall for someone?

Natsuki.

- A souvenir.
- A souvenir?

Which one do you like?

Hmm... This one.

I knew you'd pick that one.

I prefer this one too.

Thanks.

After all, we like the same things.

That's not true.

Huh, did you need something?

Not really.

I'm studying here.

Natsuki.

- What?
- I heard you've got a crush on someone?

Huh?

Yui just told me.

Yui-san?

Yeah.

Why?

Didn't you go ask Ryo about it?

Pretending you were asking for a friend.

He saw right through you.

That blabbermouth.

Who is it?

Huh?

And I heard you're stealing
someone else's partner.

What?

Feels so good.

[Hokkaido Hot Spring Inn Special]

What are you looking at?

Huh?

Nothing, it's nothing.

Right?

I wasn't looking at anything.

Isn't that right, Rock?

You smiled.

I can't believe Natsuki actually
has a crush on someone.

I told you it's not like that.

Setting aside whether stealing someone's partner
is right or wrong in the eyes of society...

I'm just glad you finally
found someone you like.

Up until now,

even with the girlfriends
who said they liked you,

and you tried to like them back,

you never truly fell for them, did you?

Well... that's true.

Even if they already have a partner,

the feeling of falling for someone

is just unstoppable.

I told you...

An unrequited love

is really painful,

but even if it works out in the end,

you'll always be haunted by guilt.

You can never truly be happy.

Huh?

Sis, have you ever experienced that?

Huh?

Ah...

Anyway, let's not talk about me.

You can't just stop halfway.

In short,

Natsuki, don't fight
your feelings for the person you like.

Just be honest and go for it.

I will

always

be on your side.

That's all.

Ah.

[Truly falling for someone.]

If only he wasn't my sister's boyfriend...

[Hello Shisa]
So flashy...

Strange...

Huh, a cold?

It's nothing serious.

But today's tutoring...

Don't worry about that.

But are you really okay?

I went to the doctor
yesterday and got some meds.

I should be fine in no time.

I see.

I'm really sorry.

Don't.

Just get some rest.

Sis.

So-chan said he caught
a cold and has a fever.

So it really is a cold.

Yeah.

Sis, you should go check on him.

Why?

I have to go to work now.

Huh, aren't you worried at all?

It's just a cold, right?

Don't they say a cold is
the root of all illnesses?

So-chan is so healthy, he'll be fine.

But what if he passes out?

He might even die alone in his apartment.

You're overreacting.

sh**t, I gotta go.

I'll call Sota later.

I'm heading out.

Take care.

No...

[Are you really okay?]
[It's nothing, don't worry.]

Hasn't it gone down yet...

How are you holding up?

Is it really okay to ask someone
who's sick a question like that?

What's your temperature?

No, what's the point of asking that...

How should I even ask?

What kind of message should
you send to someone who's sick?

What, "take care"?

Ugh, what is this...

What kind of message should
you send to someone who's sick?

- [Kazuharu] You okay?
- [Ryo] Still alive?

I asked the wrong people...

Ouch.

Hmm?

What's going on?

Did your fever go down?

Na-chan...

A reply.

I think it should go down soon.

Thanks.

So that means it hasn't gone down yet?

Why hasn't his fever gone down
even after taking the doctor's meds?

It might mean it's not
the right medication.

If the fever doesn't break
after three days, be careful.

It's only the second day, huh...

Time to eat...

I wonder if he's eating properly...

What happens if you don't eat
anything when you have a cold?

If you can't keep anything down all day,
you need to be extra careful.

If you can't even drink water,
you have to go to the hospital.

Huh.

If he hasn't even had
water, isn't that bad?

Sorry for scaring you.

Whenever I catch a cold,
Rock always sleeps next to me.

But that guy doesn't have Rock with him.

Would it be too annoying
to send another message...?

But what if he really passed out...

If he passed out, he wouldn't
be able to check his phone.

Huh.

If he passed out...

[How are you doing now?]

This should be fine.

A reply.

Huh.

I should just go over.

Huh.

Huh.

So-chan?

Huh, he should be here, right?

Huh, no way...

So-chan!

Answer the door!

Na-chan?

Huh.

What's wrong?

How come?

No, that's my line.

Weren't you running a fever?

It broke. The meds finally kicked in.

I see...

And then I suddenly got hungry.

Thank goodness.

Don't tell me...

Did you come because
you were worried about me?

Na-chan...?

Thank goodness...

Huh, wait...

Na-chan?

Hold on...

Thank goodness...

Wh-What's wrong?

Um, are you okay?

So good.

I'm glad.

Sorry.

It was just a cold, but I
made you worry so much.

I was just overthinking it.

I meant to send a smiley sticker,

but I accidentally sent
a crying one instead.

It made it look like I
was fishing for sympathy.

I'm really sorry.

But...

I had no idea you were such a worrywart.

Me neither...

Huh?

I'm not usually like this.

Even if my sister caught a cold

and asked me to buy her ice cream,

I'd just find it annoying.

But...

the thought of you passing out, So-chan,

or coming down with some serious illness,

or even the thought that
you might die alone in your apartment...

I just got so restless.

Ah...

So that's it...

What's wrong?

Could it be...

Na-chan...?

Is this...

what I think it is?

Huh?

Could it be... I...

actually have feelings for him?

I've fallen for So-chan...

Ah.

Ah...

Sorry... What am I even saying?

Ah...

Just forget what I just said.

Pretend I was never here.

Forget everything.

I'm leaving.

Na-chan!

Wait!

I'm sorry!

[Incoming call: Rio]

The person you are
calling is unavailable...

It's this way, right?

It should be around here, right?

Huh?

Wait...

Huh?

Why is Natsuki...

Na-chan.

I shouldn't...

have ever truly fallen for someone...

[This drama is a work of fiction]

[Next Episode Preview]

[Where will her closed-off heart go...] I'm never
going to fall in love or like anyone ever again.

You like Sota, don't you?

[Will their relationship change?]
That was just a joke...

Did something happen?

[A new storm brewing within the family!?]
Are you hiding something from me?

I'm not going to fall
for my sister's boyfriend.
