Post by bunniefuu »

-[Gensei] Let's do this!
-[Ryota] Water plants?

[Gensei] Yeah.

RYOTA [28]
MODEL AND CAFE MANAGER

GENSEI [34]
FROM TAIWAN, HAIR & MAKEUP ARTIST

[Usak] It doesn't matter if
you've come here for love or friendship.

I think there are things

you can only say here.

I hope that all of you guys
will cherish this opportunity,

be honest about your feelings,

and enjoy each other

the rest of the time you have here at...

the Green Room.

[Gensei] When I saw

Usak speaking,

what impressed me was
he seemed to have no regrets,

because he accomplished
his purpose for being here,

and shared that he was able to express
his feelings before he left, so...

I've decided that

I really wanna see things through.

So I'm going to stick it out,

and be as honest as I can

for the rest of my time here.

-[Ryota] Nope.
-[Alan] We don't have any syrup.

-[Ryota] We have chocolate syrup.
-[Dai] Somewhere...

-[Alan] Caffè mocha! Is this ready?
-[Gensei] Sounds good! I want one.

-[Dai] Yeah, we can make one.
-[Gensei] I can make a caffè mocha.

-[Gensei] Are you making it?
-[Ryota] Mmm.

-[Gensei] Can you make one for me?
-[Ryota] Okay. Sure, of course.

-Ryota is gonna make a caffè mocha for me.
-[Dai] What? I'm jealous.

-Ryota is gonna make a caffè mocha for me!
-[Ryota laughs]

-Ryota is gonna make a caffè mocha for me!
-[Alan] For me!

-For me! Are you listening, guys?
-[Ryota] Hey, that's, uh...

[wistful pop music playing]

-[Ryota] It's done.
-[Alan] That's great!

-Oh, my gosh. So beautiful.
-[Ryota] Here you go.

-This one is good.
-[Gensei] Thank you so much.

-[Alan] Should I make that?
-[Ryota] Yeah.

[Alan] Okay.

-Oh! With Ryota's back in the photo.
-[panel exclaiming]

He's saying, "He's mine!"

-He'll keep that photo forever.
-[Yoshimi] Yeah.

PLEASE DISCUSS AND DECIDE
WHO TAKES THE SHIFT TODAY

[Dai] Is there anyone
who wants to be on shift?

-Oh!
-Oh!

-I wanna work with Ryota.
-Let's go, then.

Yeah.

[chuckles]

-[Gensei laughs]
-[Ryota] No objections?

-[Ryota] I'm okay.
-[Shun] Why do you wanna work?

-I wanna work with Ryota.
-Mm.

-[Dai] So cute.
-[Alan] You're so cute.

[Dai] We welcome
that kind of initiative around here.

You're so cute!

-I wanna work with you.
-Let's go.

[Alan] Yeah!

Let's have fun.

[Gensei] At first, I misunderstood and
thought that Ryota had feelings for me.


I'm still very attracted to him.

I'm still the most comfortable

when I get to hang out with him.

Hello, would you like some coffee?

[Ryota] Hello.

Coffee's available.

Do you have an iced, filtered coffee?

-[Gensei] We do.
-[Ryota] Yeah.

[Gensei] Please wait just a moment.

So were you out walking nearby?

[woman 1] Yes, we were.

-[Gensei] Just the two of you?
-[woman 1] Yes.

Oh, that's good. He's smiling a lot.

-[all laughing]
-[Ryota] Here we go. Thanks for waiting.

-Can you hold it?
-[woman 1] Thank you.

-Thank you very much.
-[Ryota] Thank you.

-[woman 1] Thank you.
-[Gensei] Aw, he's cute!

-[Ryota and Gensei] Thank you.
-[woman 1] Thanks!

-[Ryota] Hello.
-[Gensei] Would you like some coffee?

-[man] Mmm.
-[Gensei] How do you like it?

-It's refreshing and has a great aroma.
-[Ryota and Gensei] Thank you.

It has some Ethiopian beans.

-They give a stronger acid content.
-[man] I like the acidity.

[Ryota] Colombian beans
tend to be more acidic as well,

so that might also be the reason for it.

-[woman 2] Thank you.
-[Gensei] Thank you!

[Ryota] Thank you for your time.

[Gensei] You're cute
when you're in your serious work mode.

I usually work like this at my café.

[Gensei] You know what?

-From the beginning...
-Yeah?

-Well, I've been wanting to talk with you.
-[Ryota] Mmm.

Almost since day one.

-Oh!
-Yeah.

The first time you asked me
to work in the coffee truck,

I was happy and kind of surprised.

And do you remember
the matching for the first date?

I wrote your name.

-What?
-[both laugh]

I'm surprised. Are you serious?

But, even though we didn't go,

getting to work with you
in the coffee truck

could be called a date, right?

Mmm, yeah. That's true.

With all that being said,
I have a gift for you.

What?

I have a gift for you. This.

-[Ryota] Oh.
-Please open it.

-[Ryota] Thank you.
-[chuckles]

[warm music plays]

-Hey, wait...
-[Gensei chuckles]

I bought it for you.

[Ryota] What? Thank you!

[Gensei] Oh, it's cute on you.

[Ryota] Is the length okay?

I'd like to see it as a choker, too.

Wearing it as a choker might be cool.

Nice. It looks really great.

[Ryota] Is it good?

-[Gensei] It really suits you.
-[Ryota] Thank you.

[Gensei] Hmm. I hope you wear it.

-Usak's words were a big influence on him!
-They really were.

Isn't this a nice change?

Hey, I know I gave you the necklace,
but can I ask you for a favor?

What is it?

-I'd like to do your makeup.
-Sure, you can definitely do my makeup.

When I look at your face...

-I think about doing your makeup.
-Yeah.

-I want to make you look beautiful.
-Hmm.

-Let's do it.
-I'd love you to do it.

-Is that okay?
-[Ryota] Please do it.

-Well, then...
-Please make me beautiful.

[laughing] I will.

I feel like I was

very clear with him today.

Mmm. I was able
to share my feelings with him. I did it.

I said I wanted to talk to him,

and we talked about everything
that's happened till now.

Mmm. The rest is up to him.

But... if I get a chance
to talk to him again

the way we did today, I would love it.

-This is a gift from Gensei.
-[Dai] This is nice.

-[Alan] I love it.
-[Ryota] I like it.

[Dai] Yeah, it's very cool.

[Gensei] There's an accessory shop
near our selling spot.

I went to the shop before we opened,
and I gave it to him when we were done.

[Alan] Aw, that's so sweet. Oh, my gosh!

[Dai] So sweet of you.

[Gensei] I like to give someone gifts
on an ordinary day.

-[Ryota] Mmm. Mmm.
-It's good if it looks nice on him.

You know what? It's not every day

we feel like giving gifts.

-[Gensei] Mmm. Mmm, mm-hmm.
-[Alan] Those feelings are special.

[Alan] Mm, I agree.

The fact that he gave it to me feels

like it could be a gesture
of meaningful feelings.

But it was, "I'm gonna give you this,
so can you do me a favor?"

I wasn't totally sure
why he gave me the necklace.

So to tell you the truth,
I don't really know

how serious his feelings are for me.

I didn't understand
what he was telling me.

[Chiaki] What? He doesn't understand
Gensei's feelings after all that? What?

-I thought Gensei was clear.
-[Durian] Yeah.

But I guess
everyone processes things differently.

Maybe it wasn't clear enough for him.

Was Ryota confused
because Gensei didn't come right out

and tell him
he has strong feelings for him?

-Gensei is really evolving.
-[Yoshimi] Yeah.

-He's evolved so much.
-[Megumi] Thanks to Usak.

-He left a gift.
-[Thelma] Yeah.

His gift was left in everyone's hearts.

-It was planted in their hearts.
-And now it's starting to sprout.

[Thelma] Amazing.

When feelings are in motion,
people are more vulnerable.

[Megumi] As their feelings grow,
they start going after what they want.

[Thelma] That's true.

We're talking like nothing's different,
but Durian's transformed.

-[Yoshimi] Wow.
-[Durian] I didn't notice.

-[Chiaki] You're beautiful.
-[Durian] Thank you very much.

-[Thelma] Stunning.
-This is my business look.

-[Megumi] You're a goddess fashionista.
-[Durian] I'm back to my usual self.

[all laughing]

[Alan] It's amazing
how quickly you created these for us.

[Ryota] Hmm.

-Yeah.
-[Shun] Hey, Dai kui tui.

[Dai] Huh?

-He says you should come here.
-[Dai scoffs]

-Here.
-[Dai grumbling]

Aah.

-Please, go ahead.
-[Ryota] Please go ahead.

[Dai] The customers
will like those charts.

-[panel gasping]
-[Durian] If you do that kind of thing...

-[Yoshimi] He's making Dai confused!
-[Chiaki]Yeah!

-[Durian] He shoved his hand away!
-[Thelma] What?

You know,
there's one thing I don't get at all.

I think just being friends

sounds a lot better for me.

Despite what he said,

he was messing with me
and giving me mixed signals all day.

[jaunty electronic music playing]

[groans] Oh, man.
I really don't understand that guy at all.

[groans]

Well, I'm kind of

starting to get comfortable
being with him.

Right now, he... What can I say? He isn't...

Since I said we should just be friends,
he's been different.

He's no longer clingy.

If things keep going like this,

I think everything will move
in the right direction.

When he's less forward,
I feel more comfortable.

At least, till we...

begin dating.

[Thelma] Mmm.

He said he became more comfortable
after they decided to just be friends.

But it doesn't necessarily
mean Dai also feels comfortable.

It must be hard for Dai.

-To know what's safe to share emotionally.
-[Durian] He must be suffering.

[Megumi] And then Shun does that!

-[Chiaki] Oh, yeah, look at that!
-[panel exclaiming]

[Chiaki] This isn't good.

-[Durian] I don't like it.
-[Thelma] I can't believe it.

This kind of guy drags us into the mud.

-And then he had to push his hand away.
-[Durian] Exactly.

-[Thelma] Yes.
-Look at his face!

-[Thelma] No wonder he's suffering.
-[Megumi] It's understandable.

-Poor guy.
-So Shun may be doing this to say,

"I'm okay..."
-[Thelma] Yeah.

"...being with you on my terms."

"But don't put your hand on me..."

-[Megumi] Ugh!
-"...if I'm not in the mood for it."

[Megumi] Oh!

-It seems like he's clarifying his stance.
-[all] Aaah.

But the boundaries he's giving him
are inconsistent.

-[Yoshimi] Yeah.
-[Chiaki] And it's not fair.

-It's getting very complicated.
-[Thelma] He's difficult.

[alert chimes]

PLEASE DISCUSS AND DECIDE
WHO WILL TAKE TODAY'S SHIFT

-[Gensei] So, now, raise your hand...
-[Taeheon] I'll do it.

-[Gensei] Oh. Oh! That was fast.
-[Ryota] Oh.

-[Kazuto] That was quick!
-I'll go.

[laughter]

-[Gensei] You wanna go?
-[Dai] Cool.

[Ryota] Taeheon will go, then.

[Dai] Who will you choose?

I will

choose Kazuto.

Aah.

-Let's go.
-[Taeheon] Mmm.

Then

you should go.

[chuckles]

-[Gensei] Good luck.
-[Taeheon] Please work with me.

[Kazuto] My pleasure.

-[Megumi] Kazuto again. Isn't that wild?
-Oh, my God.

Everybody wants to hang out with Kazuto!

-[Ryota] Shunko!
-[Shun] Hmm?

[Ryota sighs]

I couldn't really say anything there,
could I?

[Shun chuckles] Why?

-Well, I wanted to ask him out.
-[Shun] I understand.

I had no idea
that Taeheon would beat me to it.

I wonder what his intention is,
although I don't think there's any.

[Shun] Hmm.

Did you think you would work today?

No, actually, I didn't.

But I wanted to work with you.

-Oh, really?
-We haven't had a chance to work together.

I'm glad we're getting to do this.

[Kazuto] Welcome to our shop. Oh, hello.

-[woman] Hi.
-[Taeheon] Welcome.

-[Kazuto] Here.
-[woman 1] Thank you so much.

-Thank you. Take care.
-[woman 1] Thank you.

Welcome to our shop.

We have coffee, caffè lattes, and cookies.

[Taeheon] Almost done.

-Here you go.
-[Kazuto] Thank you very much.

[sighs]

-Hi, sorry for the wait.
-[woman 2] Here it comes. Thank you.

[woman 3] Thank you.

-[Taeheon] Here we go.
-[man] Oh great.

-I'll take it, then. Thank you.
-Here, thank you. Have a good day.

[Ryota] We just stew the patties, right?

[Gensei] How do you change
after you start dating someone?

[Ryota] When I date someone,

I tend to take a back seat to the person.

-[Gensei] Oh. I see.
-I usually always adjust to him.

-I'll give him unconditional love.
-[Gensei] Unconditional.

[Ryota] What are
some of the ways you change?

[Gensei] I don't know.

I want to be with someone
who makes my heart skip a beat.

-[Ryota] Oh! I totally agree.
-[Gensei] That's important.

-[Ryota] It is.
-[Gensei] Yeah.

[Ryota] I think that it's important
for a boyfriend to be cool,

but I also think
it's very important for him to be sweet.

When I think he's sweet,
it's easier for me to forgive him.

-Have you talked with your crush lately?
-[Ryota] What?

Yeah, I've been able
to talk with him a little bit.

It's kind of important
to spend time with everyone.

-[Gensei] Mmm.
-But especially with my crush.

[Gensei] Mmm.

-[Ryota] I'm finding the balance.
-[Gensei] Mm-hmm.

[Ryota] I'm trying not to be
too aggressive.

-[Gensei] Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
-[Ryota] Yeah.

[Gensei] Did you already tell him
about your feelings?

[Ryota] Yes, I... did.

-Mmm!
-[Ryota chuckles]

I did share my feelings with my crush.

-So, I guess...
-Uh, were you straightforward?

-Yeah, I think I told him quite clearly.
-[laughs] Wow.

-[Gensei] You're difficult.
-[Ryota] What?

-You're a difficult person.
-[Ryota] Me?

[Gensei] To understand.

[Ryota] I need to be clear with him,
so there's no confusion.

[Gensei] Ryota has feelings for someone.

And I could tell after talking with him
that he really likes him.


Now that I know,
I'm feeling pretty sad about it.

Yeah, it's hard.

But he was wearing the necklace.

I'm not really sure
what it means to him now.

So Gensei has figured out
that Ryota has a crush on someone.

But Ryota is still wearing his necklace.

[all agreeing]

This kind of confusion
happens all the time.

-[Kazuto] Sorry for the wait. Thank you.
-[woman] Thank you.

-[man] Thank you.
-[Kazuto] Take care!

["Don't Let it Go" by Chicago Loop plays]

-[Thelma] What?
-[Durian] Who is this?

-[Yoshimi] Here he comes!
-[Thelma] A new member?

Oh! Look at that!
Someone new is joining them.


-[Kazuto] Welcome.
-[Taeheon] Oh. Hello.

[man] One iced latte, please.

-[Kazuto] An iced latte?
-[man] Yes.

-Cookies are discounted right now.
-[man] Oh, I'll buy one, too.

-[Kazuto] Thank you very much. 600 yen.
-[man] Okay.

-Hmm? Thank you.
-[Kazuto] Please eat it within three days.

[coins jingling]

-[Taeheon] Your change is 400 yen. Oh...
-[man] Thanks.

-Should I wait here for the coffee?
-[Taeheon] Oh, I'll bring it over to you.

[man] Thank you.

[Taeheon] You think he's a new member?

-I don't know. You think so?
-[Taeheon] I don't know.

[Kazuto] He has a suitcase.

[Taeheon] Shall we?

-I want to apologize for the wait.
-[Kazuto] Thank you. Sorry for the wait.

-[Taeheon] One iced latte.
-[man] Thanks.

Uh, to tell you the truth...

I'm a new member who'll
be living with you, starting today.

-[Kazuto] Wow!
-[man] Nice to meet you.

[Kazuto and Taeheon] Nice to meet you.

-[Taeheon] My hunch was right.
-[Kazuto laughs]

-[man] I'm glad to meet you.
-[Kazuto] Great, I'm glad to meet you.

[cicadas chirping]

[Alan] I wonder how they spent today.
Aren't you curious?

-Mmm. Yeah.
-[Shun] Mmm.

[Kazuto sighs]

-[Alan] Oh, look, they're back.
-[Kazuto] We're back.

-[all] Welcome back.
-[Dai] Welcome back guys!

-[Ryota] Welcome back.
-[Taeheon] We're home!

[Alan] Why's Taeheon wearing that?

-[Gensei] Oh, cute.
-[Alan] You look different. So cool.

-[Dai] You look awesome.
-[Alan] So sleek.

-[Dai] How was your day?
-[Kazuto] Really fun.

We have an important announcement to make.

-Don't. I don't wanna hear it.
-[Ryota] Yeah?

-[Dai] What?
-[Shun] What?

-[door opens]
-[gasping]

[Alan] Wow!

Good evening. I'm Ikuo, a new member
joining you today. Nice to meet you.

[Alan] That's hilarious. What a surprise.

-[Thelma] Wow!
-He seems like a nice person.

-[Chiaki] A new energy in the house.
-[Yoshimi] He's got his own thing.

-[Ryota] Do you know him?
-[Alan] I don't!

[laughter]

-[Dai] You talked as if you knew him!
-[Kazuto] Yes!

-[Dai] That was weird.
-[Alan] Hilarious he's joining us now!

-That's all!
-Glad to see you.

[group] We're happy to have you!

I'm Ikuo. I'm 22.

I work at a hamburger shop.

When I find someone
who makes my heart skip a beat,

I want to sleep with them,

take baths together,

and enjoy a simple life.

I'm the kind of person who wants
to do everything for that person.

I want to wash his hair.

I want to play with
the bubbles on his head, like this.

I'll definitely go after
what I want while I'm here.

Do you mind if I like you?

I'm sorry, I just poked my nose into this.

I'll always treasure you.

Did you see that montage?

-He's kind of intense!
-[all] Ohh!

-[Gensei] Mmm.
-[Alan] This looks absolutely delicious.

-[Dai] Delicious.
-[Gensei] Why did you decide to join us?

I just want a boyfriend.

-[Dai chuckles]
-[Gensei and Taeheon] Mmm!

Simple.
I haven't had a boyfriend for a while.

I'd like to use this chance
to find a good partner.

-[Taeheon] Mmm. Mmm.
-[Ryota] Mmm.

[Gensei] So what do you look for
in a partner?

I like someone
who I can get along with easily.

-[all] Mmm.
-[softly] I know what you mean.

He knows what he means.
Shun says," I know what you mean."

His voice was almost inaudible.

And I also...

well...

I like to be pampered very much.

-Mm-hmm..
-And I like to flirt with my guy a lot.

-What?
-[laughter]

Oh, gosh. Your reactions are too small.

-I wanted reactions!
-[Alan] You're not giving him enough!

Well, I was kind of happy
to have another member in the house.

He's quite good-looking.

He smiles a lot. He looks friendly.

He seems like a positive guy.

He seems mentally strong.

[hairdryer whirring]

-[Ikuo] This shirt might be good.
-[Alan] Huh?

-[Ikuo] This shirt might be good.
-[Alan] Looks cool.

-It's a nice choice.
-[Ikuo] Do you like it?

-[Gensei] Hey, Ryota.
-[Ryota] Yeah?

-[Gensei] If I ask for that one...
-[Ryota] Caffè mocha?

I'll make one for you.

-[Gensei] Can you?
[Ryota] Yeah, of course.

-Here.
-[Gensei] It's beautiful.

[Ryota] Thank you.

-[Gensei] Thank you.
-[Ryota] You're welcome.

[Durian] Caffè mochas are
the one thing connecting them.


-[Chiaki] Yeah, Gensei loves his mochas!
-[Durian laughs]

[Ryota] I'll be there soon.

What are you gonna do
if you're Ikuo's favorite, Gensei?

[Gensei] No, I don't think
that's gonna happen. No.

-It's unlikely.
-[Ryota] Why?

[Gensei] The age gap.

[Shun] That doesn't matter, does it?
[chuckles]

[Ryota] Mmm.

[Shun] What would happen
if he likes Kazuto?

[Gensei] No.

But I don't feel like
those two are compatible.

Kazuto and Ikuo.

-[Gensei] I don't think so.
-[Shun] They're so different.

[Ryota] Mmm. I'm not sure.

I can't imagine that couple.

[Gensei] Yeah,
it'd be hard to imagine that.

[Ryota] Hmm. That's true.

[Shun] Let's ask him who he likes
best from his first impression.

-[Ryota] Oh.
-[Shun] He'd tell us.

-[Ryota] Yeah, he would.
-[Shun laughs]

[Ryota] He would say it with confidence.

-"Shun was the best!"
-[Shun laughing]

What if he says, "Dai was the best"?
[laughing]

Does that mean a scramble
between me and him?

-[Ryota] Yeah. It would be.
-[Shun] Right!

-[Ryota] Ahem.
-[Shun] You're right.

-[Gensei] We don't know what will happen.
-[Shun] It could happen to anybody.

[Ryota] Yeah.

[chuckles] A scramble!

-A scramble! [laughing]
-[Yoshimi] But he's right.

-Ikuo has arrived.
-[all exclaiming]

[Durian] Yeah, Ikuo has arrived!

[Chiaki] I'm excited
that we have a new member!

He likes to be pampered, and he's bold.

He's not like anyone in the house so far.

We have the sweet, polite type.

But no one yet who's said,
"I want to be pampered."

[Megumi] You're right.

Who do you think he likes?
We don't know anything yet, but...

Who does Ikuo like?

[Chiaki] He said someone
he can get along with.

-Alan?
-I thought it might be Alan, too.

I also thought it might be Alan.
They seem like they'd connect.

-I think Ikuo might go for Dai.
-[Thelma] Oh!

-Think he'll choose him?
-[Yoshimi] Yeah.

-[Megumi] Why?
-[Yoshimi] They have chemistry.

It seems like they might
see the world in a similar way.

-They're both extroverted guys.
-I see.

Up till now, the members have seen Dai
as a younger brother type.

-But we've seen him be very thoughtful.
-[Thelma] Yeah.

I feel like he'll welcome
someone who likes to be taken care of.

Do you think things are
gonna get uncomfortable?

-[Ryota] Smells good.
-Almost done. Oh, wow!

-It's my favorite.
-[Dai] Are you okay?

-[Alan] They look delicious!
-[Dai] I can't wait to eat those!

Is the potato hard?

[Ikuo] It's good.

-[Dai] Okay?
-[Ikuo] Mmm.

[Kazuto] So today's picnic
is gonna be special.

-[Ikuo] Food looks great.
-[Dai] It'll be a great day.

-Will you make the onigiri?
-[Ikuo] Let's.

-[Dai] Sure.
-[Kazuto laughs]

[Ikuo] We're leaving.

-[Chiaki] Shun is worried.
-[Durian] Yeah, he looks a bit concerned.

-[Dai] Hey, we're the same age, right?
-[Ikuo] Mm-hmm.

-[Dai] How long have you been single?
-[Ikuo] Uh, about a year and a half.

-How about you?
-[Dai] Two years. Exactly.

-[Ikuo] About the same.
-[Dai] Exactly two years.

-So you're looking for a boyfriend.
-[Ikuo] I want a new one.

[Alan] Hey, did you ever make
those bento boxes for your ex?

[Kazuto] I hardly ever
made food for my ex.

-[Ryota] Oh.
-[Alan] Hmm.

-[Ryota] But it's fun to make them. Right?
-[Kazuto] Mmm.

-[Ikuo] Please put rice here, on the top.
-[Dai] What about you?

[Ikuo] Wait.

Now.

[Dai] I'm not your servant! [laughs]

-[Ikuo] I'm sorry!
-[Dai] Here's the plastic wrap.

[Ikuo] You didn't think I was being bossy?

-[Dai] A bit.
-[Ikuo] Okay.

[Dai chuckles] I've had
too much fun today.

-When are we leaving?
-[Ikuo] The picnic hasn't started.

-We'll have even more fun.
-[Dai] Do we need to go soon?

[Alan] When was the last time
you had a picnic?

-[Gensei] It was about three years ago.
-[Alan] For real?

-[Dai] Gosh, that's a lighthouse, right?
-[Alan] Mm-hmm. I wanna go up there.

-[Dai] This is pretty.
-[Gensei] Can we go up to the lighthouse?

[Alan] I think so.

[joyful pop music playing]

[Dai] Here we go.

[all] Thank you for the food!

-[Ryota] What am I gonna eat first?
-[Alan] I'll start with fruit.

-[Dai] Mmm.
-[Ikuo] I'm gonna eat this one.

-[Kazuto] Apple?
-[Dai] Mmm.

-[Ryota] This is delicious.
-[Ikuo] It's good.

-Kazuto, this is really good.
-[Kazuto] You like it?

-[Alan] You're a genius.
-[Ryota] You are.

This is so delicious.

-[Dai] Oh, did you like the potato salad?
-[Gensei] It's so tasty.

[Alan] The chicken makes it even better.

[Dai] We worked hard on making it good.

-[Gensei] I want some.
-Yeah!

[Alan] Have you tried this?

-Do you have someone you're interested in?
-I do, I do.

-[all] Hmm!
-[Gensei] I see!

[Ikuo] There's someone
I want to get to know better.

-So I feel good about that.
-[Alan and Ryota] Mmm.

[Kazuto] Oh! Phew.

-[Alan] Oh, great.
-[Kazuto] Whoo!

-[Gensei] Hit it!
-[Alan] Ready?

[Alan] It's peaceful.

-[Dai] Come on!
-[Kazuto] It's so peaceful.

Yay!

[Ryota] It's hot.
Do we wanna go in the shade for now?

-[Dai] Let's take a break.
-[Ryota] Let's.

-[Alan] Volleyball, then?
-[Dai] You're a tough coach.

-[Shun] Let's do it, then.
-[Dai laughs]

-[Dai] Good!
-[Ryota and Gensei] Good.

[Ryota] Was he a volleyball player?

[Dai] Maybe
he's the type who can do anything.

-[Alan] Ready? Ready if you are?
-[Ryota] He's athletic.

-That's one of the...
-[Ryota] I don't like those people.

-...things I like.
-[Ikuo] It's gonna be great!

[both laugh]

-[Dai] You know what?
-[Ryota] Yeah, what do you think?

Playing in these outfits is hilarious!

[Dai] I'm curious about Ikuo.

-[laughs]
-[Ryota whispers] What? What? Wow.

[Dai] But I'm not really sure.
It might just be because he's new to me.

-[Ryota] Yeah.
-[Alan] Not bad!

But when you made the sandwiches
and onigiri today...

[Kazuto] Serve again.

...Ikuo made sure he stayed close to you.

I think Ikuo likes you.

-[Dai] I sensed that too.
-[Ikuo] I'm gonna hit it back.

-[Kazuto] Okay!
-[Alan] Well done.

-[Kazuto] Oh!
-[Dai] I like his vibe.

-[Ryota] Yeah.
-[Dai] I mean...

-[Ryota] Hmm. Yeah, he's honest.
-[Alan laughing]

-[Megumi] What?
-Dai?

-Uh, Dai?
-[Thelma] Dai's in the middle...

-[Megumi] Okay... Wow.
-[Chiaki] Is he moving on?

-Ikuo's totally different from Shun.
-[Thelma] That's right.

-[Ikuo] Wanna go up and take photos?
-[Dai] Huh?

I'd like to.

-Let's go!
-[Dai] Sure.

-[Ikuo] To that rock, or that way?
-[Dai] Which do you like?

-[Ikuo] This way first?
-[Dai] Sounds like a good idea.

[Shun] Hey, I'm back.

-Did you have fun? Watching us play?
-[Kazuto] Any more ice cream?

-[Ryota] Yeah.
-[Alan] It's melting!

-[Shun] Thank you.
-[Gensei] Here you go, Ryota.

Thank you very much.

-[Ikuo] You're cute.
-[Dai] This is nice.

[Ikuo] I'll give you one point.

-For being cute.
-[Dai] Really?

-[Shun] Do they like each other?
-[Ikuo] Maybe more.

[pensive music plays]

Do you want to go beyond the lighthouse?

What do you wanna do?

[Alan] I wanna talk with Kazuto.

Since we came back from the ryokan,

I haven't been sure
about Kazuto's feelings.

I'm moving forward
without knowing his feelings.

Being in this place makes me
feel very uncomfortable, so...

-[Alan] Gosh.
-[Shun] Let's go, then.

-[Ryota] Where are we going?
-[Shun] To the lighthouse.

Oh! Their feelings are all tangled up.

-[Shun] I don't think what they're doing...
-[Ryota] Yeah?

[Shun] ...is anything
that Dai wants to be doing.

[Ryota] It must make you worried.

-I'm not worried about it.
-[Ryota] Hmm.

I'm not worried at all.

I don't think that Dai would choose him.

I think he'll choose me, but...

-[Ryota] Hmm.
-[Shun] You know?

That's...

[Gensei] If I were you,
I wouldn't like it.

-Yeah, right?
-[Ryota] Mmm.

[Alan] How was the coffee truck
with Taeheon yesterday?

-It was fun.
-[Alan] Did you enjoy it?

Because I got really worried,
to tell you the truth.

When Taeheon raised his hand
and said he wanted to work with you.


[Kazuto] Mmm.

[Alan] I realize I need to know
more about what you're feeling.

[Kazuto] Mmm.

So I really wanted this time.

[Kazuto] I see.

Comparing how I felt
before the sleepover date

with after the date...

I was truly Interested in you
before the date.

-Mm-hmm.
-[Kazuto] So...

I wrote your name
because I wanted to go with you.

[Alan] Mm-hmm.

Right now in my mind,
you're more... like a friend.

[Alan] Mmm.

[Kazuto] That's how I feel now.

-[Megumi] So shocking.
-But it was good for Kazuto to be honest.

Yeah, that's important.

-[Chiaki] Yeah.
-I wanna cry.

-[Ikuo] Do you wanna look at the crabs?
-[Dai] Wow, I want them.

[Ikuo] Come here.

-[Dai] Really? I'll try if you say so.
-[Ikuo] Yeah.

[Dai grunts]

-Will the crabs pinch us?
-[Ikuo] Look at them!

[Dai] Hey, are crabs able
to live inside the nest?

-There are so many in there!
-[Ikuo] Mmm. Yeah!

-[Dai yelps and laughs]
-[Ikuo] Careful. You'll get wet.

-Careful.
-[Dai laughs]

[Shun] But when I think about it,

I know that I'm not very forward, right?

[Ryota] Mmm.

[Shun] So, it's possible

a person like Ikuo
is more compatible with Dai.

[Ryota] Mmm. I'm not sure.

[Ikuo] What was your ex like?

[Dai] Among the people here,
the one who's the most like my ex

is you, Ikuo.

[Ikuo laughs] Do I look like him?

[Dai] Your vibes are similar.
And you're tall like him.

[Ikuo] Hmm.

-[Dai] You even kind of look like him.
-[Ikuo] For real?

[Dai] What was your last boyfriend like?

[Ikuo] Well, he was way older.

I was so pampered by him.

-[Dai laughs] You were his sweetheart?
-[Ikuo] A very sweet one!

Ask me how sweet I was.

-[Dai] How sweet were you?
-Like frosting on a sponge cake until...

-[Dai] You're annoying!
-You didn't listen to the end of my joke!

-[Dai] I thought it was gonna be long.
-I can't tell it anymore.

-[Dai] Not gonna finish it?
-No.

-[Dai] Aww.
-[Ikuo] We're kind of hitting it off.

-Isn't this insane? We're alike.
-[Dai] I feel like we're alike. Insane!

I love having good chemistry with someone.

But no matter how much I engage with
a person, and try to get to know them,

if their reaction is "Hmph,"

it turns me off, you know?

Hmm.

What do you think Dai feels about that?

I don't know
that they're going to fall in love

just because they're having a good time.

I agree. It's difficult to know. Maybe
they'll just end up being good friends.

-[Megumi] Right.
-Just having fun isn't enough.

The funny thing is, Dai has already
fallen for Shun, who's pretty gloomy.

[Durian] Shun's
a different kind of person.

-[Alan] Be careful of the gravel.
-[Kazuto] Mmm.

-[Kazuto yelps and gasps]
-[Alan] Are you okay?

-Are you okay?
-[Kazuto] I'm fine.

-[Alan] Did it hurt?
-[Kazuto] Yes.

-[Alan] Let's go over to the grass.
-[Kazuto] Ouch.

-[Alan] Looks like it hurts.
-[Kazuto] It's really painful. Ow!

-[Alan] Can you walk?
-[Kazuto] Yes, but it hurts.

-[Alan] Did you hurt your ankle?
-[winces]

-[Alan] Hey, hey, hey, wait. Slow down.
-It hurts.

-[Alan] Are you okay?
-[Kazuto] Yeah, it... it isn't bleeding.

Does it still hurt?

I think it's fine.

[Alan] Are you sure?

-[Kazuto groans]
-[Alan] Can you walk? It must really hurt.

[Kazuto winces] Oh, it hurts.

[Alan] Can I give you a piggyback?

I can easily do that. Hold my bottle.

Hup! I'm totally fine with this.

-Wait.
-[both grunt]

[Kazuto] Wait, that way?

[Alan] Oh, wait. Where do you wanna go?

[Kazuto] That way. [chuckling]

Aww, Dad!

-[Alan] Knock it off!
-[Kazuto laughs]

-[Alan] Damn! I'm not your dad.
-[both chuckling]

-[Kazuto] This is steep.
-[Alan] I'm fine.

-To the observatory?
-[Kazuto] Are you okay?

-[Alan] I'm good. Let's go.
-[Kazuto chuckles]

[Alan] Gosh. It's so beautiful.

-[Kazuto] Thank you for today.
-[Alan] That's my line.

You were very clear with me when you said,

"I see you differently, we're friends."

That was important for me to hear.

Even though I haven't been sure
how you felt about me,

I've been, you know, a little overwhelmed.

My feelings took on a life of their own.

I feel like I'll be able to enjoy
my time with you more naturally,

from now on.

So I feel really grateful that you chose
to be honest and say how you feel.

-[Chiaki] He's great. A good person.
-A positive guy. I'm proud of him.

-He's quite mature.
-He expresses his feelings well.

-[Shun] What about Ryo?
-Hmm?

Don't you want to talk to someone?

I do, but... I can't go.
I don't want to be there with three of us.

-[Shun] I get that.
-[Ryota] Hmm.

I won't be able to say what I want.

If there's another chance,

I wanna talk to Kazuto.

It's Kazuto who I have feelings for. Mmm.

[laughs and sniffles]

-[Megumi] Aww, poor Gensei!
-[Durian] Gensei!

-[Chiaki] That must be hard.
-[Thelma] Painful.

Whenever he's available.

-Tomorrow, maybe.
-[Shun] Tonight might also work, right?

-[Ryota] Hmm.
-[Shun] Mmm.

-[Dai] Gosh, it's hot.
-[Ryota] Welcome back.

[Dai] Thanks.
I'm eating one of our bananas.

-[Ryota] Go ahead.
-[Dai] Thanks.

Do you want something to drink?

-[Shun] We took water. Thanks.
-[Dai] You did?

-He looked at him.
-[Yoshimi] Eye contact.

-Yup.
-[Thelma] He wanted to check on him.

-Those two are a mess!
-[Chiaki] Oh, man.

[groans]

[Dai] I'm gonna drink some water.

♪ I believe you gave me... ♪

Are you okay, Shun?

I'm so annoyed by him.

-[Gensei] He's annoying you?
-Yeah. I don't even wanna hear his voice.

-I don't feel good around him right now.
-♪ I've been thinking about you ♪

♪ I've been thinking about you... ♪

[Dai laughs] Wait!

-Run in a bigger circle!
-♪ I've been thinking about you ♪

♪ Forever, ever now... ♪

If I were you,
watching this would be hard for me.

-[Chiaki] Gensei must think the same.
-[Megumi] Poor Gensei.

I'm just thinking about what's going on.

-[Ryota] Mmm.
-And it's not about jealousy.

[Gensei] I hear you.

[Dai] This one's good.

Another one?

[Gensei] What the heck?
I've never had a picnic like this before.

♪ Forever, ever now ♪

♪ Forever, ever now ♪

-Wow, that was a wreck!
-[Durian] A turbulent picnic!

[Chiaki] Yeah, gosh!

I think that only Ikuo enjoyed it.

Ikuo doesn't know anything!

-[Yoshimi] Ikuo is innocent!
-[all laughing]
