This one is pretty. I want this one.
May we have this one?
Is it for your girlfriend?
Y-y-yes...
She called me your girlfriend.
Girlfriend?
Boyfriend?
Girlfriend?
Put it on me, ﻿my boyfriend.
Here?
I would have bought ﻿you a better one.
I like this one. Does it look good on me?
Yes, it does.
Thank you.
Will you stay over tonight?
I stayed over last night and the night before.
Leave then...
Maybe \ should* But you'll get lonely.
I can have fun by myself.
Quit acting so tough.
Boy, am I having fun!
You sound ridiculous.
Kanchi...
I think I'll leave.
Go right ahead.
I'm leaving.
2 steps...
1 step...
Are you going out for a walk at this time of night?
I'm going to the baths.
You have one here.
I go to the public bath once a week.
I'll go too then...
- Were you waiting long? - Yes, I was.
Doesn't my freshly cleaned hair look nice?
I guess. We'll catch a cold.
Let's come again. The bath here feels great.
Let's go to the hot springs on the next 3-day weekend.
Really? I'm going.
Hurry.
Did Mikami really say that he was coming?
He said you had to be here.
I doubt that.
Kanchi is waiting too.
You still have feelings for Nagao!
What's the matter?
Did you and Mikami have a fight?
- No. - Let's go.
Nagao...
What?
Would you be happy if Sekiguchi and I broke up?
What do you mean by that?
Nothing really.
What are you thinking about?
Kanchi...
Hi.
Thank you for waiting.
Thank you for making us wait.
Come...
What?
They look like they're angry at each other.
You came.
You too.
The woman you saw, she has nothing to do with me.
I know, but...
Forget about what I said that time, too.
It was my misunderstanding.
Do you want to go or not?
We'll go, right?
Okay, let's go!
I'll carry it.
That's all right.
My bag is heavy.
Looks heavy, are you carrying snacks in there?
I wonder if there's a kind person to carry this for me.
It's a tough world.
I won't ask you for anything.
Give it to me.
I'm so lucky.
Kanchi, hurry.
What a nice room. It feels like we eloped.
We're finally alone.
I'm sorry.
Aren't we supposed to come here alone?
I don't mind. I like them.
I want them to make up, so that we can be together.
Next time let's go by ourselves.
Sure.
- Kanchi. - What?
I'll tell you how Satomi looks in the nude later.
You're embarrassing me.
I'm kidding.
Do you think you'll make up with Mikami?
We're not really fighting.
Was it because of Mikami's affair?
I heard that.
Am I wrong?
Well?
I did not.
But I did something that could have been misunderstood for one.
It was all just a misunderstanding.
The cause of the fight...
...is my jealousy.
Yes, I was and still am jealous.
It's so funny that they're so intense about this.
They've always been like this.
You're incompetent.
Try it.
Sure.
How pitiful.
One more time.
Aim carefully, then shoot.
Quiet.
I'm through here. Good night.
Thank you.
Please enjoy.
This sure feels awkward.
Let's go for a walk.
Is it true?
What?
What you said earlier about being jealous.
Does it sound funny?
Those two look good together, don't they?
Don't you think she's a good match for him?
Yes, I do
I'm sorry, I...
Forget it. Don't apologize.
If you don't have any feelings left for Nagao.
Satomi.
What is it?
You're my one and only and I'm your one and only.
Don't forget that.
I won't.
It's so peaceful.
Yeah.
It's cold!
I'm cold. Let's go back in.
Just a little longer.
- Kanchi. - What?
You appeared in my dreams.
Did I appear in yours?
Nope.
I dreamed about eating omelet and rice.
I was doing folk dance.
We were all in a big circle.
I danced with all the men I went out with.
About how many was that?
It's a secret, because I don't want to shock you.
I'm just kidding. There weren't that many.
And you were next and when I put my arms out to you,
the music stopped.
You disappeared.
I was so sad that I woke up and cried.
How could you dream about omelets at a time like that?
But...
Let's dance.
Let's continue my dream.
I don't want to be alone ever again.
Don't go to anyone else.
I won't let you go.
I've tried calling, but you haven't been home lately.
Are you seeing Nagao from the business department?
Why do you ask?
Whenever you fall in love, you seem to work better.
Really?
I'll deliver this to the business department.
Good morning.
This is the report from our last event.
- It seemed to be a success. - Yes.
Excuse me.
Have you had lunch yet?
Not yet.
Two "A" lunches. Do you want something to drink?
No, thank you.
May I have a glass of orange juice with that?
So you're still drinking juice with your meals.
You're just like a kid.
Don't tease your superiors.
Yes, sir.
Yes?
Are you seeing Nagao?
Yes.
Really?
You look really awkward when you talk about that.
Quiet.
Do you think you'll last?
Will you assure me?
You sound like my father.
I am.
I always think that it will last...
...even when I was seeing you.
I'm happy even if you're only flattering me.
You change your tactics so quickly.
I'm sorry about the last time.
You didn't hold back at all.
You knocked my tooth out.
I'm sorry.
I lied, but I've never been hit by a woman I never dated.
I don't mind.
Did you finish your report?
Somehow.
I can't believe you want to be a doctor.
What about you?
Are you studying medicine for your father?
Didn't he tell you to find a husband to take over the hospital?
I'm not like that.
Not at all.
I want to leave my home.
You don't like it there?
I hate it.
There was someone who said the same thing once, too.
What?
Nothing.
Hello, this is Sekiguchi.
It's me.
What's the matter?
I'm drinking with my friend. I'll be a bit late.
I'll be waiting.
Hurry back home.
Sorry.
Yes.
Is Kenichi in?
Isn't Mikami Kenichi here? I heard he was staying here. Where is he?
Kenichi?
Hello.
Who is it?
Hello, this is Sekiguchi.
I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing? Kanchi isn't home yet.
What is it? Did something happen?
His birthday is tomorrow, I wanted to...
It's his birthday tomorrow?
Didn't you know?
No.
I'm home.
He just came home. Just a minute.
It's for you.
- Who is it? - Satomi.
Hello. Sekiguchi?
Nagao.
What is it?
I wanted to thank you for taking us out the last time.
You didn't have to.
Is it okay to call you again?
Of course, call me if I can do anything for you.
Good night.
What are you doing?
What are you thinking about?
What?
I want to know.
I was wondering how she was doing.
You always have that look when you think about her.
What look?
That sad, painful look.
You must be imagining things.
All you have to do is think about me.
Okay.
Welcome back.
It feels awkward when you say that.
It's cold out there. Aren't my hands cold?
You always keep your hands in your pockets.
- Mikami. - Yes?
Nothing.
What's the matter?
I trust you.
At least your place has a lot of oranges.
And it's good too.
My folks send them to me.
From Ehime?
What is your hometown like?
I have some photos.
I want to see.
What's that?
I saw it!
It's so rural.
But I like those kinds of places.
What is this?
That is my elementary school.
Is that where you studied?
I played more than I studied.
What did you play?
Tin can soccer and seeing who can swing the highest.
And we used to pretend that we were explorers.
We'd pretend to find lost cities and hidden treasures.
What kind of treasures?
Old lemonade bottles and cotton candy sticks.
It sure sounds ridiculous now.
But it was a quiet town and you could hear the clouds.
The sky was so blue, it looked like a painting.
During the summer we had a bon dance contest
and I would dress up in my yukata, scoop goldfish and play with fireworks.
We used to slide down hills on cardboard sleds.
That was so thrilling.
- More than space mountain? - It's not even in the same class.
I was the best stag beetle collector in the class.
- Do you need skill for that? - Of course.
You can find a lot right after the rain stops.
After a shower we would all gather them.
How nostalgic.
I carved my name on the railing of this schoolhouse when I graduated.
I bet it's not there anymore.
Let's go check that out!
Then you can carve my name next to it.
But Ehime is far from here.
I want to go to the town where you were born.
Next time we both get some time off, I'll take you there.
Really?
It's a promise.
We will both be able to go one day, won't we?
Nagao, would you like to go out for a drink?
Good idea, let's go!
I want to go just the two of us.
That's like settling for second rate.
I'm not second rate.
Then what are you? Third rate?
Do you want to, Nagao?
It's my birthday today, so...
It is? Then let's have a party!
No, no, I have to be home early.
You have someone waiting for you?
Not really.
You're here?
Don't try to ambush me.
Are you coming over tonight?
What is it? Do you want to fool around?
It's not that.
Let's rent some pornographic videos.
I know an outrageous one.
That outrageous?
You're blushing. You're feeling warm.
Will you have dinner with me?
Today is my
Sorry, I have other plans.
Ohara, who works in our department, asked me out.
- Are you going? - Of course.
Why?
Wouldn't you go if a girl asked you out?
I wouldn't.
You would, because you're so popular.
All I care is to be popular to you.
What was that?
Nothing.
I guess I will go drinking.
Go right ahead.
- I'm going.
- Enjoy yourself.
I can turn him down if you ask me to.
Is that how you want to react?
I heard Ohara is quick. He might not stop with drinks.
I'm so impulsive, I might even agree to it.
What will he do? He's in a pinch.
They enter the hotel and Ohara tell her
that she can shower first. What will happen next?
Nagao seems to have stopped working.
He is feeling uneasy.
Will he finally state his true feelings and say,
"Rika, don't go. Come back to me!"
Be quiet.
Actually, it's my birthday today.
I know, I will do some shopping and be waiting.
What about Ohara?
There is no one named Ohara in my department.
Later.
What a waste for a man and woman to just study together.
You're the only one who thinks that way.
Let's be honest. Don't you feel the passion?
No, I don't.
You must have a father complex.
That's enough.
The medical school is...
Do you hate your parents that much?
It's none of your business.
I guess not.
You don't understand how I feel.
I do.
I really do.
I have a question.
It's about this syndrome...
Do you know?
What are you doing?
"I trust you."
I'm just kidding.
Wait.
Hey, wait.
I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
I shouldn't have come. This is no place for me.
Let's go somewhere.
If only l had waited at home, you would have come.
You would have been kind to me.
But...
I came here.
Am I supposed to keep waiting?
Am I supposed to look away from the part of you I don't know?
I guess I would be happier that way.
But...
But I can't do that.
Goodbye.
Hello, Heart Sports...
Nagao?
Sekiguchi?
Is it good?
Of course.
Are you sure? If it isn't, I will put a curse on you.
Go right ahead.
I wonder if it's too big. The two of us can't eat it all.
Aren't you going to ask me anything?
I will listen if it will make you feel better talking about it.
Why do people fall in love? It only brings sadness.
That is not true. There are good times, too.
When is it good?
It's good when you feel at ease with each other.
And... when you know you have to work hard.
But I feel those things more when I'm with you.
Maybe it's you that I like.
You shouldn't say things like that.
I used to like you too. To tell me now is...
I didn't mean it that way.
I don't want to see you suffering anymore...
I will start eating without you.
Patience.
I have to go.
She is waiting for me.
Rika?
Yes.
I will pay for it.
That's fine.
I will stay here a little longer.
I'll pay for this.
I'll talk to Mikami again.
No, you don't have to.
I don't want to burden you anymore.
Go home to Rika.
Hurry...
If you don't...
Happy Birthday.
Thank you.
I'm home.
Happy Birthday, Kanchi.
Over here.
Did you do this all by yourself?
What do you think?
I bought the cake.
3, 4, 5, 6, 7... Start of elementary school...
Is that when you met Mikami?
I guess so.
8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13...
Start of intermediate school...
Your first love?
It was earlier, around here.
At 6? You started early.
14, 15, 16...
Start of high school...
You first meet Satomi and it's love at first sight.
17, 18, 19, 20.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
A soccer player.
Too bad.
I still want to be one.
21, 22, 23...
You moved out to Tokyo.
The most important event in your life happened at this age.
What could it be?
I met Akana Rika.
Let's leave it at that and finally... 24.
One candle... that's all I know about you.
There will be more in the future.
Okay, blow it out.
Happy Birthday.
Thank you.
Let's eat.
I bought some champagne too.
I'm sorry I was late.
It's okay.
One of our best outlets called as I was leaving.
They wanted to discuss about some defective stock.
And everyone had left... I ran home too.
I'm sorry.
Rika? What's the matter?
Why do you have to lie?
Lying doesn't suit you.
I won't stand for any lies.
I won't stand for it.
Waaiitt!!!
Rika!!!
I lied because...
I may be like this...
but I like the me that fell in love with you.
Rika.
I'm upset!
There is only one choice.
You can't have both ways.
What happened?
You promised to love me 24 hours a day
... when you're working or drinking with friends...
You said you would love me with all your heart.
You captured my heart, so look at me only.
Otherwise...
I will disappear!
