You can come anytime.
Because...
I'll leave a space for you.
For a limited period.
Until I get back on my feet again.
[Nakaji] [Keep trying!]
You idiot.
Sometimes you should just open your mouth and tell me to keep trying directly.
Sorry.
Wh-
That was... that's just...
A hug in place of a "keep trying".
Just like what guys do when they score a goal in soccer?
Yes, like that.
Oh, okay.
I know.
Got it.
Bye.
Yeah, bye.
I'm telling you, your Onii-chan likes his egg yolks to be mushy.
Why can't you do it right?
Ah, you poor thing.
What? What's that?
I have something that I didn't tell you.
What is it?
You're scaring me.
Can I tell you?
Wait, wait a second.
What are you doing?
Casting a spell on myself that will make me fearless no matter what happens.
What is that?
Are you done?
Are you ready?
I'm ready.
What is it?
Onii-chan,
Haru was on a date.
Eh?
She was on a date with a handsome guy.
No way.
Here, look.
Ah, Nakaji.
Nakaji?
This is Nakaji.
He's my friend.
Oh, really?
I'm more interested in this...
So, he's her friend too.
We're all buddies.
There's nothing weird going on between them.
This is delicious.
Do you know the name of these flowers?
Eh, what is it called?
I bought these at the shop. I think you look good with them.
They're gerberas.
My Haru is a pink gerbera.
Thank you.
Let's go.
1. Developing
The wedding dresses are pretty.
Yeah.
You'll look great in them.
Really?
I want to see you in a wedding dress.
Do you mean that in general terms?
General terms?
Never mind.
Let's go.
Gerbera?
Yes.
"My Haru is a pink gerbera."
Yes.
You should say, "I'm neither your Haru nor a pink gerbera."
What?
Isn't that so?
Haru is Haru, you don't belong to anyone.
Someone who would doze off in the train with her mouth open sometimes.
Just a human being, not a pink flower.
How can I say that...
Are you still holding yourself back?
And, I still can't tell him to walk a bit slower.
Huh?
"You're walking too fast. Please walk a little slower."
I can't say that.
Holding flowers and your bag in one hand,
and holding his hand with the other,
and you have to jog along?
Yeah.
Is it like training?
It's not that bad...
Well, he doesn't look too thoughtful,
but the problem lies with you not being able to speak up.
I'm too careful around him somehow.
Are you studying this for him?
Korean Are you studying this for him?
Korean
'Thank you.'
'Gamusa hamunida.' [T/N: Japanese Romanization]
'Hello.'
'Anyon hashimunika.'
'I like you.'
'Choahe.'
Wow! You are studying.
Well, you said you didn't want to take any more tacky gigs.
I think it would be good for you to work as an assistant for famous photographers.
I don't think that I'm in the mood for taking jobs right now.
Does it mean that you won't work as an assistant anymore?
It's not that, I'm just not in the mood for work right now.
I'll work hard on your magazine's column though...
Did something happen?
It's not that big of a deal.
Later.

Okay, "ari ori haberi imasokari" [T/N: Old Japanese grammar]
What's so funny?
You have to remember this.
Right, everyone, let's read it together.
"Ari ori haberi imasokari"
Okay.
That was the Ra-line exception rule.
So, Takagi-san.
What's the meaning of "imasokari"?
I've observed your lessons.
Eh?
You have great perseverance.
You're still working hard even after something like that happened.
You can't escape.
Well...
We thought-
Take a seat.
I need to tell you something.
Are you going to say something related to your wish of my withdrawal?
It's not that.
There's suddenly a vacancy at my friend's school which has a prestigious reputation.
They are looking for a full-time teacher.
Why don't you take the exam for that position?
Huh?
I'd be happy to give you my highest recommendation.
But first, they would like you to do a qualification exam.
Sorry.
No.
I was just riding a bike and...
Keisuke-
I know.
This must be a bother for you.
I know that.
It's not that.
You bought the ring because I said I wanted it.
Yeah.
I'm a little worried about that.
Since you don't really have that much money.
Ah, are you mad?
No, I'm not.
It's true that I don't have a lot.
I don't know what to do.
Laughing at a situation like this.
The two of us laughing together.
It's strange.
After...
we broke up.
Definitely?
Is that a definite decision?
There's something I should tell you.
This wound here.
I got jealous and so I hurt myself.
I'm scary, huh?
I'm sorry.
I knew.
I knew about it.
But,
I couldn't hate you for it.
Sorry, Keisuke.
I have to go shopping for dinner.
I see.
Keisuke
Hmm?
I'm sorry.
What?
Please don't come over anymore.
Okay.
Ah,
you erased it?
Yeah.
Bye.
What are you doing?
Hmm?
Isn't this pretty?
It's pretty!
Here.
Eh?
Keep it.
Is that okay?
Yeah, this is something like a toy...
Thank you!
Hello?
Hey, are you at work now?
No, I'm already heading back home.
Can you do me a favor?
Haru?
What's up?
I was waiting for you at the store, but the air-conditioner was too strong.
I didn't mean that.
You want to come in?
You won't do anything weird, right?
Huh? I won't do anything weird.
I don't have the energy for that now.
Then I'll come in.
Did something happen?
Why?
Linda said you sounded depressed and he asked me to talk to you.
He said that you'd probably tell me everything.
Linda...
You don't have to tell me anything though...
Linda's worried, but that doesn't mean that you have to tell something
that you don't want to talk about.
I was dumped.
Eh?
By Kiriko.
She dumped me.
I'm sorry, Haru.
She told me that her wound was because of herself.
I'm sorry for saying terrible things back then.
I'm okay with it,
but are you okay?
I don't think so.
Is there anything I can do?
Somehow,
your presence had already made me feel a little better.
Me?
Yeah.
Tell me about it.
Eh?
You always have fun stories, so tell me about it.
Umm...
This is so sudden...
Sorry, I'll make tea.
Oh, right.
Can I talk about my thoughts concerning the other day?
The other day?
Yeah, it's about my story.
Sure.
You said that you'd leave me a space, didn't you?
Ah, and you asked me how big the space would be.
I think there wasn't a place for my heart to relax.
Like I said the other day,
my brother is just cooped up at home.
Teachers are at school...
I didn't know when I could let it all out.
I didn't know who I could show my weaknesses to.
You told me to be true to myself when we first met,
but I didn't have a place to be true to myself.
Yeah.
Do you understand?
Pretty much.
So, I realized that that's what you are to me.
And,
I hope, I can be a place like that for you too.
Where both of us...
A place where we both can talk about many things and what's in our hearts.
A place where we can get courage.
So are we something like soulmates?
That sounds too cool, but maybe?
Good friends, close friends?
A man and a woman as close friends... is that even possible?
Well,
to me you are...
I cheer up when I see you.
Really?
Yeah.
That's good.
Nakaji,
I'm going to do my best.
Eh?
I'll take the exam for a full-time teaching position.
The principal at my school praised me for my determination at work even after what happened.
And he asked me if I would try and apply at a private high school that he know of.
That's great! And he asked me if I would try and apply at a private high school that he know of.
That's great!
Oh, that's right...
I forgot.
I bought this at the store.
It's for you.
What?
Bye.
Keep trying!
Haru!
Thank you.
Let's go with strong lighting here.
How about having the light coming in from the side so the shadows will look longer?
That's a great idea.
I'll take that.
What?
The design critic, Shiina Nozomi?
Yep.
She said that she really liked your photos.
She has pointed you specifically to do the cover and opening page photographs.
That's amazing!
It's all down to you.
I'm glad that you seem to be doing good.
Did Haru tell you?
Well, just a little.
It's not like I want to hide it from you guys...
We broke up.
Kiriko and I.
Yes.
But it's in the past now.
No...
I've put the past behind me.
If there's anything I can do, just tell me.
I'll remember that.
Nakajima.
We're starting now.
Okay.
Oh, sorry about that.
Bye.
I've decided to take the full-time teaching exam next month.
So you won't be a provisional teacher anymore?
Well, only if I pass.
I see.
I think it's better for you to just be a provisional teacher.
Why?
You don't need to work so hard.
I mean...
Those things might happen again.
But you were the one who encouraged me to be a teacher.
Well...
We didn't know what would happen.
But...
I'll be there.
What do you mean?
I'll be there to protect you,
So you won't have to work.
Oh yes!
Let's go see a movie.
You know, there's one I want to watch.
Okay.
Shall we?
And I made a reservation at a fabulous restaurant.
You did?
(T/N: A play on words. Nutritious (eiyou) and Good (ei yo) sound similar in Japanese) Food is good and it's good for you!
Funny!
Just joking!
Haru!
I've been doing good with work lately.
Thanks to you, Haru.
To me?
Yes.
Since I started dating you.
Oh yes!
So, I'd like to buy you something, anything.
It's okay.
You've got Minha's school fees to consider.
Don't worry about it.
Oh, you're a pink gerbera,
so how about a pink dress?
Oh, how sad...
On the evening of your day off,
you're buying cheap rice balls?
Leave me alone!
I'll have one.
Oh, did you know?
This 'Rice Ball Series' is delicious.
I know.
And this salted cod roe--
You're joking, right?
Give it back.
No.
It's mine.
- It's mine. - It's mine.
We got laughed at just now.
By high schoolers..
Can I have one too?
Go ahead.
That's 800 yen.
No way!
You're going to charge me?
I'm just kidding!
Oh yes,
take a look at this.
Oh! It's your pictures!
Yes.
Let me see!
The other day,
I asked for this at the store, and they said that it wasn't out yet.
Tada!
Wow!
That's cool!
I see this person a lot on television.
You really captured her smile here.
Really?
As I've expected,
popular boys are different.
You did good.
I did.
Well, you are a popular girl lately.
How can you end up eating a rice ball with me on a Saturday evening?
I went on a date with Doctor.
And?
I felt nervous and lost my appetite.
Oh?
You were having a great time, eh?
Is that what that means?
You feel so happy,
you can't eat anything.
I don't know.
It seems different somehow.
Strangely enough, he makes me a little nervous.
Why Doctor?
Because he's my boyfriend?
Because he's Doctor?
Because I'm not used to this concept of dating?
Maybe.
That's right.
If by any chance,
Yes?
You compared me to something...
What would I be?
If I compared you to something?
Anything.
Well,
Like the bike under the tree over there?
A road racer?
Is that a compliment?
Or...
How about a Lomo in a second-hand camera shop?
It's like, no-one-will-buy-it-but-
That's enough.
So you're indicating something that needs to be oiled to work?
Needs to be oiled?
Both the bike and the camera.
Something mechanical?
If you put it that way,
but they're my hobbies.
I'll go.
Thanks for the drink.
Hey,
you know...
I know?
I've been trying my best.
What?
About work.
So that I won't lose to you.
I'm working hard as an assistant photographer and is trying to steal his skills,
and stuff like that.
That's good.
And, I'm sorry...
but I already knew.
Huh?
I talked to Linda and he told me.
He sounded happy knowing you were doing your best.
He really likes you, Nakaji.
He just worries too much.
My son,
he's been really into his work,
and hasn't had the time for love.
Oh, sir,
I heard you'll be an honorary professor soon.
Yes, thanks to everyone's support.
Mrs. Ichihara, congratulations on your new hospital.
Everyone,
let's meet up at the usual place,
and celebrate Nakaji's achievement.
Thank you for waiting.
Look at this,
he's a friend of mine, the photographer.
That's amazing.
Let me take your earrings for you.
Thanks.
I'm coming.
I saw Nakaji's pictures.
They're wonderful.
That's amazing, Nakaji.
To be requested by Shiina Nozomi.
Nakaji has a lot of courage.
Don't you get nervous when taking pictures of celebrities?
I go in the bathroom, write 'person' on my hand and swallow it.
[T/N: A gesture to overcome fears in Japan] I go in the bathroom, write 'person' on my hand and swallow it.
No way!
Seriously. And then,
I chant 'celebrities are people too' three times.
That doesn't seem like you.
He's sometimes a coward.
We're celebrating today,
so let's drink up!
Drink up!
I can't...
Huh?
Oh, you're studying?
Studying?
She is taking the full-time teaching exam next month.
It'll be embarrassing if I fail so I didn't tell you guys but..
We're not the kind of friends to worry about something like that.
I know.
Well, thanks for stopping by.
It's okay.
Congratulations!
I wanted to drink anyway.
Haru,
I'll pay for you.
No...
It's fine.
I'll pay you the next time we see each other.
When it's just the two of us.
I can take you home.
No, it's fine.
Just have fun with everyone.
See you.
Bye.
Later.
Hey...
Don't look so bored after she's left!
Exactly.
I heard things are going smoothly.
Well... we're, already...
We're already in an adult relationship right now.
What?
As a man and a woman.
Oh,
So that's why...
I was thinking that Haru had suddenly became a lot prettier.
She is.
You two...
Come on guys.
I'll take Nakaji home.
Then, I'll take Doctor.
Doctor, wake up.
Time to go home.
Nakaji.
Careful.
Are you all right?
It's nearly closing time.
I'm still drinking.
Bye.
Bye. Take care.
I'm not drunk.
Please go.
Why did you drink so much, Nakaji?
Do you feel sick?
No, just sleepy.
- Huh? - Sleepy
Doctor,
why did you lie to us?
Huh?
About Haru.
Your 'adult relationship' is not true.
I can't fool you.
Not me.
But Nakaji was fooled.
Doctor.
Don't rush things.
If you do, a girl will only run away from you.
Really?
You have to trust Haru,
she's decided to go out with you.
Linda, don't you have anyone you like?
What?
I do.
You have a girlfriend?
No.
It's a hopeless love.
You're such a good guy though.
There you go.
Thank you.
We'll be leaving soon.
Here you go.
I want to have it.
What?
No one can restrain my heart to think.
[Keep trying!!]
Thanks.
Water?
Yeah.
No, I want tap water.
Okay.
Here.
Sorry.
It's okay.
You don't usually drink this much.
Good, I'm okay now.
Want to drink some more?
No thanks.
Was it that shocking?
What?
About Haru.
What about her?
That she slept with Doctor.
Oh, how upfront.
It's better to say these things upfront.
Haru is...
Haru is also...
doing that sort of thing, huh?
You say that?
Well, I should go now.
No, wait.
Money.
Oh, I don't have any money.
The last train's gone.
It's not that far.
I can walk home.
It's dangerous for a girl to walk home alone.
Good.
Shall we drink,
until the first train?
Seriously?
Yes.
I have a good rum.
Okay.
What's wrong?
Nakaji.
Peach?
Can I?
Huh?
Just like this.
I'm all by myself now.
I'm lonely.
I'm scared.
I've always thought,
that your hair,
looks so fluffy,
and soft.
Do you want to touch it?
Like a cat.
It's the only good thing about me.
That's not true.
What's that smell?
It's crab! Crabs!
From Hokkaido.
Dad sent them to us.
That looks delicious.
and that's a lot.
Mom's out giving some to our neighbors.
Do you have anyone with whom you want to share too?
It's okay, I don't have anyone.
That's great!
I'll take some.
I didn't know you can cook?
I can.
It's open.
Hey there.
Hey.
I've brought them for you.
Horsehair crabs?
That's better...
You piggy.
Want some coffee?
Not today.
Okay.
It's not-
It's fine.
Cook it well.
See you.
Peach?
Peach.
I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
Weren't you coming to my house?
Yes.
By any chance...
Was that your earring?

About your father...
It's cancer.
Cancer?
You and Nakaji make a good couple.
Will you go out with me?
Do you like me?
Haru, are you really okay with that?
