01x02 - Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice But To Go On A Date Saturday!

[bunniefuu]

My name is Kota Fukuhara.

They say names are reflected in one's nature,

but not in my case.

As you just saw, bad luck has showered down on me since long ago.

I'm glad it's not a raw egg.

I'm sorry.

Finally, a crack. It's my lucky day.

Lucky?

- Wait. Naoya is dating someone?
- Yeah.

Do you know what he said when I invited him to hang out?

What did he say?

He doesn't want his partner to misunderstand.

What a perfect answer!

So, who's he dating?

I have no clue.

He can hear you guys, you know.

So, who are you dating?

- I won't tell you.
- Come on, you can tell us.

I don't want to spread gossip.

Well, is that so?

Dude, spill it already.

- No.
- Just tell us.

Oh, man! Word is spreading too fast.

♫ During the day, things aren't looking up and
you're discouraged. Yeah! ♫

♫ No matter how tough things may be...
You can overcome them, keep it up ♫

♫ Let's go! I'm right here within your reach ♫

♫ I'll catch you when you fall into despair.
I'm here for you. Never leave you ♫

♫ The vast world could bewilder us from time to time ♫

♫ I hope you'd never change because you're
perfect the way you are ♫

[Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to Kiss!]

Who is it? Tell us.

Why not? Tell us.

[Episode 2
Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to Go on a Date on Saturday!]

Okay, let's stay together.

Really? Thanks...

He totally misunderstood me.

Now we're dating.

Wait, that was my first kiss.

But it's either this or going back to my miserable days.

Great, let's date.

Okay.

- Who is it?
- I told you, I don't know.

- You don't know?
- I don't.

Do you guys know?

Of course not!

I've had a lot of bad luck so far,

but today might be the day I get m*rder*d.

I have to be careful when going home at night.

- He's dating me.
- Whatever.

Kota!

Don't come to me. They'll catch on if you act like that.

How was your class?

He's so close.

It was good. Thanks.

Kota.

Hey, do you know who Naoya is dating?

- What?
- Hey, stop that!

This guy is keeping his mouth shut.

Come on. Do you know?

I... don't think so.

You don't know, either?

His cheek is so bouncy.

Bouncy?

This feels like... we're friends?

Is this also thanks to Naoya?

- This is crazy.
- So bouncy.

Hey, stop making him uncomfortable.

- Don't keep him all for yourself.
- Shut up.

Hey, shouldn't you get to class?

Oh, crap!

- Let's go, Mugi.
- Oh, man.

He won't tell us, and you've missed too many classes already.

I know, but...

Hey... I'm sorry.

Did I do something wrong?

No, I just didn't like it.

I couldn't stand by and watch other people touch you.

What?

Sorry, I got jealous.

Those words from that face...

will completely make me fall head over heels for him!

Kota, about yesterday...

What's with that guy?

He's like a manga character.

He would be popular for sure.

Oh, crap! I'm losing my cool.

If I can't control myself,

we will have to break up before everyone finds out.

Seriously?

I wasn't even away from him for that long. Darn it.

No, I can't break up with him.

I've decided. I have to stay with him no matter what.

Naoya!

Even if that means...

Naoya!

that I have to betray his trust.

Naoya!

Where is he?

Hey, can you stop dragging Sho to your mixers?

He's the reason why I couldn't go eat pancakes as we promised.

- Right?
- What a pity.

- It's all his fault.
- What?

Sho told me you kept forcing him to go to your mixers.

Yeah, he keeps forcing me.

I told him I didn't want to go, and I even begged on my knees.

I told him I didn't want to go.

- I was bawling.
- What?

I just wanted to be with you, Nacchan.

He's a horrible guy. Isn't he awful?

- It's a misunderstanding.
- Hey, what?

Just blame him. I did nothing wrong, okay?

- Why are you running?
- What a cute face.

Getting pulled into that stupid couple's quarrel

is because that guy's not canceling out my bad luck right now.

He isn't here, either.

In that case, I need to do my best to stay with him.

The lunch my beloved wife made for me...

What the hell is this? Flower pin holders?

- Isn't that next week?
- Yeah, I hope it'll be nice weather.

- What's going on?
- What are you doing?

- We were almost done with it.
- Sorry.

That's weird. Where did he go?

Naoya!

I'm so glad I found you.

Hey, what happened to you? You're soaking wet.

It's okay, I have a change of clothes.

I'm worried. I can't let my boyfriend get sick.

What?

You're so lucky to have a spare set of clothes.

Yeah.

- Phew.
- Oh.

Here, chocolate and vanilla.

Thanks. I'll enjoy it.

Ah, this is so good!

I've never had ice cream from the cafeteria before.

Because whenever I had ice cream,

it always fell to the ground without fail.

Hey, can I have a bite?

What?

Oh.

Yeah, that's good.

- Do you want to try mine?
- Oh, sure.

Yeah, that's good too.

Right.

Finally!

For the first time in my life, I ate all my ice cream without any spills!

Oh, sorry.

I got so excited all of a sudden.

It's fine. I don't mind seeing you get excited like a kid.

Actually, I like it.

Look at that gaze.

It's totally like we're a couple.

Hey, Kota, are you free this weekend?

Oh, yeah.

Let's go out then.

What? You and me, just the two of us?

Yeah, how does that sound?

But I...

Goats bite me at the zoo.

A fight breaks out and the baseball game gets canceled.

The beach is unusually cold for the season.

The wood at the camping site is wet and won't catch fire.

Even the people around me have gotten affected by my many nightmares.

Kota?

Are you okay? Do you feel unwell?

No, I'm fine. It's nothing.

Oh, right! With Naoya and his super good luck, I can go anywhere.

You can choose what we do.

Really?

Sure... You can choose.

Where should we go? I haven't hung out with anyone in ten years.

The zoo? The amusement park?

Or maybe the movies? The aquarium sounds good, too.

Oh! There's the cat cafe, too.

A night pool sounds fun, too.

And then there are the hot springs, karaoke...

Let's do as many of those as possible.

But... it's pricey and takes so much of your time.

It's fine, since I can get to be with you all day,

from morning to night.

Yeah.

Are you asleep yet?

Looking forward to tomorrow. Get plenty of rest tonight.

Whoa! It's like I made a friend.

Or I guess, a boyfriend.

Thanks. What a nice guy.

This should be enough.

You're the only one I'd say that to.

How can he casually say something so cheesy?

Good night. See you tomorrow at 11:00 a.m.

What's with this curious sticker?

What a natural Casanova!

Oh, God!

It's Saturday, the big day!

All right, clear skies.

Wait! Why am I checking my phone so much?

Oh, no! For the past few days, that guy's all I've been thinking about.

No, don't forget.

You're only with him to escape your bad luck.

Don't let him pull you in.

My defense is perfect.

Now, I just need to get to the meeting place first.

Our meeting time is 11:00 a.m.

Even with my bad luck,

I should be there before him if I leave 2.5 hours early.

- Whoa! Watch out! Get out of my way.
- I can't.

Who do you think I am?

This kind of trouble is nothing compared to the bad luck I've had in the past.

- I bought it.
- And I'm done fixing the chain.

- Here.
- Thank you.

- Sure.
- Thank you.

I'm really sorry.

- Bye.
- Goodbye.

Plenty of time.

Good morning. See you soon.

I should reply.

[Naoya, good morning! Okay, see you soon!]

What?

Nobody told me about this.
[Notice
Roads closed in the morning for a marathon]

Whatever, I expected as much.

There's plenty of time to walk or catch the train.

Is that you, Shinnosuke?

Shinnosuke, you're alive?

- Shinnosuke!
- Wait! Who are you?

He thought I was his long-lost brother? Gee, that wasted so much time.

[Under Construction
Sorry for the inconvenience]

Construction?

Huh? Dammit!

What horrible luck!

What time is it?

What?

What? No way! Is he...

Stop! Don't be reckless!

What're you doing? That's dangerous!

What? Weren't you going to jump off?

Oh, my athlete's foot was so itchy.

You'd better watch out, too.

What?

What should I do? I can't get in touch with Naoya now.

All I can do is try to reach the meeting place as soon as possible.

[Did something happen? Are you lost? Are you okay?]

I'm glad you got here safely.
[Okamoto Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic]

Thank you. I can't thank you enough.

Thank you so much.

It's fine. Anyone else would do the same.

- Stay safe!
- Thanks.

Bye.

I'm already so late.

If only I memorized his number...

Excuse me, I'll ride next.

Thank you.

All right! I'll get there in 20 minutes.

Please don't let me run into any more bad luck today.

Sorry, Sir. There's been an accident ahead.

What?

I knew it.

Kota!

Naoya, I'm so sorry.

I can't believe you're still here.

A lot happened and I wanted to call you.

But my phone broke, and I didn't know your phone number.

I'm really sorry.

I'm just glad you're okay, Kota.

It's my fault.

What? No, it's all my fault.

I'm sorry.

I'll pick you up tomorrow at your place.

What?

We can meet again tomorrow.

What? Are you sure?

I'm actually glad. Now, I can see you tomorrow, too.

Naoya.

I'll take you home.

Okay.

How did you end up like this, though?

It was a total disaster. The paint just went flying.

Tell me all about it.

Just like that, we decided to try again tomorrow.

I decided to find a boyfriend this year.

I wanted to see you as soon as possible.

Stay with me from here on out.

We're a couple, so how about a kiss?

Three, two, one.
