The person that I like is my bodyguard.
Who is that?
Yuna!
Please answer.
Yuna, stop!
Kouhei?
Are you the former bodyguard that Yuna likes?
Please give us a response.
Why would you do this?!
I shall quit as an actress.
Are you serious?
I'll complete the remaining filming on my own.
In just 14 days, I'll become a normal person.
Then, I'll always be able to hold your hands, like I am now.
Meaning, you'll no longer be an actress, right?
That's right.
I'll no longer be an actress.
I think its...
...impossible after all.
Eh?
I really think this is wrong.
Kouhei?
Wrong?
Impossible?
What do you mean?
That's...
I'm not really sure myself.
But, I still feel that it's wrong.
What is?
I don't know.
Let's go.
If we don't hurry, they'll run out.
The love that she gives her acting career up for...
...falls apart this quickly?
Hot!
You ok?
Shall I do it?
I'm fine. You sit down.
But...
It's fine, so sit!
I'll do it.
Thank you very much.
Now lets eat.
Yup. Digging in!
It's great!
Convenience store meals are delicious aren't they?
Don't you think that you should add this?
Ah, that's right.
Honestly, it was a bit bland.
How am I supposed to open this?
Oh, hey!
I'm sorry!
Sorry.
Later.
You're really leaving?
I am.
If you get any more bugs, give me a call.
Opposite!
Opposite way!
Will she make it at this rate?
You gotta buy a ticket!
Take that please.
Ah, thanks so much!
She's here!
Yuna, can you give us some more details about your statement?
Excuse me, I have no time!
Yuna, Yuna, Yuna!
Kon?
I'm very sorry.
This is the last time I'll be late.
Geez, immediately after that retirement declaration and leaving your company, we get this.
If you aren't up for this, feel free to quit.
I'm really sorry.
Takanabe, I'm so sorry.
Hijin?
I took in Hijin.
Eh?
Also, I'd like to have her at your side until the filming ends.
This isn't something that you can afford to turn down.
You're a bona fide professional.
A professional actress.
You have both the right and duty to perform to your utmost until the end.
I'd like for you to concentrate purely on acting.
That is the purpose of my offer.
Takanabe,
I'm in your debt.
You used that phrase perfectly.
Your thanks is unnecessary.
Hijin.
Unni, I'll do my best until the end.
Thanks Hijin.
Eh, a management change?
Yeah, but this is still a small security company.
I can't having you expect a lot from me, but
with my new role as a boss I can re-invite-
Sorry, but I can't.
Eh?
Is that all?
Eh? "All"?
Then, I'm busy so...
W-Wait a second!
Kouhei, you're jobless, right?
I can finally help you out...
What? What the hell?!
I can't even return a single favor?
Becoming a boss sure is meaningless!
Kouhei!
Stop slacking, and make some takoyaki!
I can't help you anymore, Mitsy.
Eh?
I can't make takoyaki anymore.
Because I've made up my mind.
Made up his mind?
About what?
Yuna.
Kouhei!
What's with that get-up?
Let me be your bodyguard for the last 12 days.
Eh?
It's the 99 day promise.
Let me be your bodyguard.
Kouhei, don't you understand why I decided to quit being an actress?
It was to protect you.
Doing this will only bring you more trouble.
I know.
But, I want to protect you too.
I want to do something for your sake.
But, being your bodyguard is all I can do.
Still...
I'll take care of everything you're worrying about.
Let me protect you.

Oppa~ Fansubs Presents, My 99 Days with a Star!
She's here!
Huh?
Yuna, what is going on?
Please answer.
Going to work with your lover?
Excuse us. That's dangerous.
Weren't you fired as her bodyguard?
Move, please. Excuse us.
At least let Yuna through.
Please!
What are they thinking now?
Good morning.
Good morning, Yuna!
Today you're even 15 minutes early.
Takanabe... look!
It's a bit sudden but,
with regards to Han Yuna's recent relationship scandal,
her boyfriend, Namiki Kouhei has agreed to an interview.
Is this happening right outside?
Then, I'll start.
Yuna recently declared her intent to retire as an actress,
so can we assume that means you two will be getting married soon?
Married?
Ah... with regards to that...
Why?
Why did you return as her bodyguard,
knowing that it would raise a commotion, right before she retires?
Why would an amateur like you open a press conference here?
Please don't tell me that you're going to brag about how blissful you two are.
I like Yuna.
I like the Yuna that is such a mesmerizing actress.
I was content just watching her act in such a lively fashion.
So, I can't say that I ever considered marriage or forcing my feelings on her.
That it has come to this...
The result was that Yuna took the brunt of the accusations,
and I've been forced to hide in her shadow.
But, I realized that it was wrong.
I want to continue protecting her for what remains of our 99 day contract.
I realized that in order to do this, I had to tell you all the truth.
By revealing everything, I hope to allow Yuna
to concentrate on acting for her remaining days as an actress.
Everyone, please help me.
Stop chasing Yuna around.
If necessary, I'll answer any questions that you have.
Then, let me ask one.
What'll the two of you do after the 99 days are up?
You've never thought about marriage, yet you want to remain her bodyguard for 99 days...
Then, what in the world happens on the 100th day?
That would...
...probably be...
...nothing.
Eh?
I believe that our story will end within the 99 days.
Don't be so ridiculous!
After making such a big deal about how much you love each other...
I can't believe you'd give up after quitting as her bodyguard?!
But, I really believe that.
It must be like that.
Everyone, I'll ask once more...
Let us quietly complete our 99 days.
Please!
Eh?!
What the-
Go ahead.
I'll go get our lunch.
"Our 99 days", sounds good.
You were listening?
There was a big commotion, so I had no choice.
I see.
Let's complete "our 99 days".
Let's definitely complete them.
Yes.
Finished after 99 days?
"Nothing" afterwards?!
Yuna made a retirement declaration for YOUR SAKE!
She gave up her Management's support, and is living alone!
And yet, you do this?!
What is wrong with you?!
I...
What?!
You asked me how I would protect Yuna.
Yeah, I did!
I thought, and thought, and thought!
And this was the best answer I could come up with!
There is nothing other than this that I can do!
Protecting her by taking the full brunt of the media's attention.
I understand that as your means of protecting her!
But, why does everything end after the 99 days are up?!
This and that are completely different!
Fried Tofu, this is the path I chose myself.
It isn't because it's "unavoidable" or "fate"...
I made this decision myself!
Kouhei!
Are you really ok with that?
Yuna chose YOU!
I believe that Yuna feels the same way.
So, until the final day, help us.
Kouhei!
I won't regret.
I won't look back to the past.
Even if a sad ending is all that awaits you?
I will definitely find the answer.
Cut!
Han Yuna sure is the best.
It's unfortunate that she is quitting.
Seriously.
Thank you.
Please!
Acting is all that Yuna can do.
That is where she shines the most!
Please forgive her.
I beg of you!
Impossible.
She made a retirement declaration on her own. She left on her own.
Only a super softie would forgive her after that.
Why were you so nice to me?
You had so many chances to kill me.
So many...
You had so many...
Yuna!
You! Don't shoot me with water!
4 more days.
Tae Sung!
Doing good?
Noona!
I'm going back to Korea.
Huh?
You're going back to Korea?
I'm going to go to Law School,
and pick up my law studies.
It won't be easy but,
I plan to work hard and not give up.
I see.
You taught me that,
along with Kouhei.
This...
You hang on to this.
Even if we are apart,
don't let your heart waver.
Thanks.
Stay healthy.
You too.
It's cold.
Hey, kiddo!
Want some ramen?
Boss!
What are you doing here?!
You can tell by looking, can't you?
A ramen nightstand.
Oh! It's good!
Back in the day,
there was this nightstand I visited when I was troubled.
The old man running it would listen to me complain about my life.
He'd say things like, "You've got it rough." or "It'll all work out."
Just a couple of encouraging words.
That alone would reassure and support me.
Eventually, I thought to myself that I would like to do the same for others.
Really?
Still, Yuna's conference was amazing!
On the other hand, yours was-
Eh, you saw it?
I never knew that a star gazing fool like you could be so brave.
You decided yourself, right?
Do as you please.
No matter what, you're my son.
Boss...
Love sure is nice.
Ah, it reminds me of my past!
You fell in love too?
Of course I did.
Want to hear about it?
I'm fine.
Hey, let me tell you.
No, I'm really fine.
C'mon, listen!
Why?! I don't want to.
N-Na-Nagira Kenichi.
Chi-Chihara Junior!
A-Ashida Mana!
Na-Nakashima Mika!
Yuna, please standby.
Sure.
We've got to end this, right?
Ka-Ka-Kaname Jun.
Ouch!
Yuna, aren't your forehead flicks getting stronger?
To enjoy these word games during our last couple of day, I practiced!
She is doing that just because she enjoys the forehead flicking!
So that is the path you choose.
They both look good, don't they.
They do, eh?
They look good to you too, eh?
Yes.
You're fired.
Eh? EH?! Why all of a sudden?!
Theatrical Company?
You can't remain an assistant forever.
You had better hurry and start your own career.
But, there is an audition.
Passing that is your first condition.
Yes, sir!
You're really leaving?
Don't you support my dream, Momo?
No... it isn't that, but...
Let's race.
Who will reach their dream first?
Then, listen to my request first.
Dance for me one last time.
Staff recruitment.
No openings here either.
Hey. Momo, what's wrong?
Tae Sung went back to Korea.
He says he is going to make his dream come true.
I see. He went back.
He was the first person to help me with my dream.
If he wasn't going to stick around, then I wish that I had never met him!
I'd rather not have met him.
That's not true.
A meeting between two people is never meaningless.
Ok, Momo?
1 day left.
Alright, next up is the last scene!
Everyone! Put your heart into it!
Yes!
Yuna, Takanabe, you're on.
Well, Yuna.
This is the finale of our time travel trip.
Keep it together and let's enjoy this.
Ok.
That's right. It was me.
Why were you so kind to me?
You even had numerous chances
to kill me.
I had no desire to kill you
without your memory.
Plus...
Don't say it.
I've come to love you.
Me too.
White Memory?
It's a memory of Love.
Cut!
OK!
With that perfect final scene,
we now wrap up the set of "White Memory"!
Everyone, thank you for the past 3 months.
Yuna, great work.
Thank you.
Takanabe, good job.
Yes, good job.
Thank you.
And now a word from Takanabe.
Yes. Umm, everyone truly did a terrific job.
You too.
I claimed to have heard the blessings of the drama gods before filming,
but today, at the instant we
wrapped up,
I could clearly hear the
blessing being voiced.
It's all over.
Yes.
These last few days went by fast.
Thanks to you, I could concentrate on
my work.
That's good.
Kouhei.
I'm going to Hollywood.
Huh?
I'm leaving tonight.
Tonight?
Didn't that offer disappear?
I turned down the offer.
But I plan to take the audition.
Audition?
Manager Serizawa told me about it.
Don't misunderstand.
This isn't lingering affection or pity.
They were looking for a unrefined diamond
so I'm just passing on the info.
Manager.
I don't care if you take it or not.
Do as you please.
I personally believe that
she still has some expectations of me.
You're right.
Kouhei.
It's just like you said.
Being an actress truly suits me.
I have the most fun when I'm acting.
I don't think about anything else, and can relax in my own niche.
Thanks for these 99 days.
Thanks to you being my bodyguard,
these have been a wonderful 99 days.
I enjoyed being by your side.
I felt safe.
You listened to my most willful
requests.
No matter where I ran off too,
you'd find me,
encourage me, and make me smile.
Thank you.
Same here.
I was also happy.
I could see your sparkling side at such close range.
Closest to you yet furthest away.
But for us, that was the best place.
There we could be happy.
I'm sure these 99 days were
a present from god.
I think so too.
I'll treasure these 99 days forever.
And, from the 100th day onwards, I'll work hard to shine even more.
Yuna.
I want you to shine too.
And I want you to find your own star someday.
Ok.
Kouhei.
Take care.
You too.
Goodbye.
Ready and...
Merry Christmas!
Yay!
Cheers Cheers.
Cheers!
Oh yeah.
These are Christmas presents from Yuna.
She says they're for everyone.
Then I'll distribute them.
What's with you?
Hey hurry!
Hey? Is this ok?
You're not going to see Yuna off?
Oh! What's inside?
What's inside?
Just leave him be. He's actually
trying really hard to control his emotions.
But...
This one is Kouhei's.
Huh?
For me?
Were you surprised? I was surprised.
What this?
It's a Cactus, Cactus.
Merry Christmas! It's Uncle Santa.
Wah! It's Santa!
The real Santa!
I've got presents for good children.
Wah! Presents!
Fried Tofu, it's you right?
What are you doing?
Here.
What's this?
It's a Christmas Present for you.
I parked my wheels in the lot out back.
Go stop Yuna.
If you don't go, I'll take Yuna.
I'll chase Yuna to Hollywood. Hmm?
Hey, Uncle Takanabe Santa!
What, you knew all along?
Where's your reindeer?
They ran away.
They quit?
Excuse me a sec.
Ga... Fried Tofu.
Don't say Fried Tofu.
Oh I remember you.
Who are you?
Fried Tofu?!
Ah! I forgot!
I was given this to hold onto. This.
Who is this from?
Hmm?
He didn't leave a name. He was a wild looking stud.
You're my marker.
Polaris.
The promise is for 99 days.
So you'll be at my side until Christmas eve.
Ow!
Kouhei!
Your dream is not small.
Hooray! Hooray! Kouhei!
I really loved your smiling face.
I will protect you.
Thank you Kouhei.
Huh?
What?
Huh? Kouhei?!
Where are you going?
Kouhei?!
Uncle Kouhei?
Looks like his feelings finally caught fire.
Kouhei. Fire!
And I join the "Softie Club" too, eh?
Ah~ Gross.
Become victorious with sweat on your brow.
Takanabe. Fire!
A bike?
Fire!!
Star Airlines, Flight 713 to Los Angles now boarding.
Please enter through gate 16.
Fire...
Yuna!
Kouhei!
I have to say something.
I had to tell you this no matter what.
I found my star.
Huh?
My very own star.
It's you, Yuna.
So please shine brightly.
So that no matter where you are, I can see you.
Please shine as brightly as you can.
Kouhei.
Yuna.
I love you.
19 Months Later
Still after Uncle Kouhei?
He may be away from Yuna,
but I doubt you have a chance.
Shut up!
What happened to Yukiko?
She went away with a new man.
Just because she has a nice face...
What happened to Momo?
She's having lessons at the office.
I'm leaving.
Just because she's a little cute...
There is no way she could become an actress.
Actress?
Actress.
Huh?
Wrong. That looks like you're mocking the viewer.
Do it again.
Umm, can't I just dance?
No. Do it again, go.
Ok.
Huh?
Keep doing it like that and you'll never become a pro actress.
Ease up on the shoulders. Do it naturally. "Huh?"
Huh?! You want another tab?
Yeah.
Give me back the ramen.
I'll pay you when I get my next job.
Ok. I'm begging you.
You're the Manager!
How can a Manager act like this?
President?!
I'm back.
Yuna?!
What in the world are you doing here?
What happened to Hollywood?
You didn't quit did you?
No way. I had tons and tons of auditions while I was there.
And I passed tons of them.
And now I'm preparing for the one that seems to be the most fun.
Is it ok for you to return to Japan when you should be preparing?
I can study in Japan.
Preparation, aka. "Kouhei Break!"
What the?
Anyway, did you find any new stars?
You don't find them that easily.
I see. I passed my auditions easily though.
Ah, I see.
Are you bragging?
That's kinda low of you.
It's been a while since I've heard your complaints. They're fun.
Come on... Wait, how's Fried Tofu?
Ah, Takanabe.
He's been through tons and tons of auditions.
But they all reject him.
Seriously?
He can act but his English isn't very good.
Fire!
That's not the time to be saying "Fire."
Don't worry about him.
Kouhei, if you're useless here, you're gonna get stuck as my bodyguard again.
Do not worry. I'm doing just fine here.
More importantly, you better not be treating your new bodyguard as a cactus too.
Do not worry. My bodyguard over there is excellent.
I don't have to call him a Cactus.
Ow! What did you do that for?
It's been a while since I forehead flicked you.
That really hurt. I'm gonna get you back.
What the heck!
What are you doing?
I'm just going to do it once.
Stop! Stop Stop!
What the heck?!
Hey!
