Ummm..
Can you pass me my undie?
But I'm also kind of...
Ah.. that's right...
Here, I won't look
I'll look this way, ok?
Look that way? Ah ok
- I'm done - OK
Eh? Done?
- I'm home - Where did you sleep last night?
- At Kohei's place - Ah
- Did somebody come by? - Ayumi did
- Eh? - She just left
She brought you a gift
I kind of peeked
- You didn't tell Ayumi that you quit driving school? - Huh?
It didn't look like she knew about it
- I'm heading to bed. - Good night
- You see Mino, all men are... - Isaki...
- You've been saying the same thing... - Eh?
Is something wrong?
- I really can't say! - Aww what is it? what is it?
- He just left... - Huh?
Well, I mean...
After sleeping together, he just got dressed and left
It's because he probably has no feelings for the girl, right?
It means he wants to pretend it didn't happen, right?
- You mean, Reach did that? - No... no!!!
It happened to somebody I know
- Reach, what's the matter? - Eh?
I'm a pretty good listener...
because I've been through a lot
So it's ok. Talk to me.
Well, he kind of left this woman behind....
Heh?
Ah... like after spending the nightthis person left without saying anything
Oh It's not me... it's my friend
He thought she was telling him to leave
but now he thinks she was just embarassed and wanted to get dressed
I know it is all my fault
but I was so embarassed I didn't know what to do
...said my friend
Oh really...
So that's what was bothering you
Well it's not really my problem...
When people say it's their friend's problem it usually mean it's their own, right?
I know right? Though that is not the case for me
Don't worry, you don't have to hide it
I took off my undies too
Eh? You had embarassing incidents like that too?
Yep
I slept with Eisuke
- What? - It happened when we were in Kagoshima
- You knew about this? - No no.. of course not
Oh, wow~
I got caught up in the moment because...
I was feeling down after what happened with Akira
I really shouldn't say this but Eisuke was like a substitute for Akira
When you're really down, you tend to lean on someone who's by your side
Yeah...
So I thought it was never more than that
But then I realized, Eisuke was more than just a substitute
He became the real thing
Weird, right?
how you don't realize about your own feelings until much later
- I think it happens - Huh?
It takes a long time to realize what your true feelings are
and when you do, you become scared
Ah is that so
- So this is about you and Reach... - Yep...
Heh?
No, this is about someone I know
- He's not picking up? - Yes
What the hell is going on? Were is this guy?!
- Hello - Oh, Kaji... no I mean...
- Maki, do you know where Kaji is? - No I don't
- What's the matter? - I can't reach him
He suddenly disappeared in the middle of this important negotiation
Operations department is also fuming over this
Be sure to let me know if he calls
Ok
Put this trash bin somewhere else!
I'm back~
[Kaji]
I can't come to the phone right no After the beep...
[Serizawa Reach]
Hello
- Can you talk now? - Yep
I just got home
- Oh really? - Yup
Wow you got it early today
Well it's not like I always drink
You always look like you hang out at "Yume no kura" restaurant
'Yume no kura' isn't the only place that sells drinks, you know
They only seem to sell drinks to you(But all you do is drink over there)???
Um...
What is it?
I'm sorry about last time
- By that I mean... - Why are you apologizing?
I had a lot on my mind at that time so...
- Me too - Huh?
I was having some problems too
I mean, we were both really drunk, so don't worry about it too much

- Yashima, I hear Kaji is back? - Isaki...
Yes, he's talking to the boss right now
And?
- We're opening next month - Oh?
Kaji really is good
Negotiation with Japanese branch was going nowhere,
so he went straight to the Paris headquarter
And they decided to sign the contract with us
Then...
It's going to a crunch to meet the opening date but let's try our best!
- OK! - Here
Oh really I didn't know that
- Ah wait Isaki - Yes
Verene is going to be in charge of here
Hello I'm Verene
This is Isaki. She is going to be your assistant
Nice to meet you
I'll show you around
Kaji, let's go
Boss, Isaki worked so hard for this. Shouldn't she be the branch manager?
The term of the contract was...
putting their own people in charge.
So I worked up my courage to tell Mino...
that it's ok if I'm a substitute for another man
I thought that was cool of me to say that
- Hey, you listening to me? - Huh?
- You must have a lot of free time - Huh?
I don't have free time!
I have to provide an estimate for Mr. Yamada
- Aren't you the one wasting time? - Huh?
I can't help you until you finish writing the script
You have to wrap it up this week if we want to make it on time for the Film Festival
Yeah I know
Remember we stayed at that summerhouse to work on our graduation project?
Trying to emulate what famous writers do when they need inspiration
even though it was just a borrowed place from professor Masuda
Hello
Hey Mino, what's up?
- Just coming back from the driving school - Come on in
I'll be right back I need to write up an estimate
- Reach, here thanks - Hey, Kohei!
I'll get going
- Mino, can I ask you something? - What is it?
You know how Kohei feels about you, right?
If you don't feel the same way, please don't lead him on
Like, by coming here to his room.
- He really likes you.. - Reach, what are you going to do?
Huh, do what?
Choosing Isaki over Ayumi, even though Ayumi already said she likes you, is kind of....
Hey wait a minute Where did you hear this?
So what are you going to do?
What are YOU going to do?
It's so tough. If I put myself first I end up hurting others
But I can't just avoid the situation either
How can they make you an assistant?!
You're so much better than Verene or what's her face
- I am, right? - Right?
I can't believe Kaji agreed to the terms of the contract
- Really! - Really
If I were in charge I would've shot it down!
I would've said, 'Maddam Verene? NO!''
I'm sorry I wouldn't have the spine to say such thing
I'll just have to take comfort in that we're were able to open the shop
Sorry your farewell party turned out like this
- Ah don't worry about it. - Ah ok
Good evening
- I'm sorry! - Eh?
I'm really sorry about slapping you last time
It was my misunderstanding
It turns out you were the wrong person. I'm really sorry!
Ah, it's ok
I'm really really sorry!
It's really really ok!
Yukie, what do you wanna drink?
I brought you some new customers
Thanks
- Is he your boyfriend? - He's very handsome
Isn't he?
But we're just friends
What would you like?
Sorry for making you wait
So what's up?
Kohei, didn't you tell me last time...
that I shouldn't look for a substitute,
because I'll end up getting hurt?
Yeah I did
I was really touched
It was the first time someone ever told me that
And I thought you are a very caring person
I finally realized where my heart is
Kohei
I...
am going to tell him that I love him
Eh?
Thanks for giving me the courage
Thank you
Snails really stink!
And there were over 50 over them
I couldn't bare the stench
If there were just one more I would've died
So what did you want to talk about?
Well it's nothing really Did you hear anything from Reach?
- Reach? - Yeah
When I went to his house he never came home the night before
and I haven't been able to reach him since then
- Ah that's because he's camping out - Huh?
He went to write a movie script at the same place where we worked on our graduation project
Reach is making a film?
He quit driving school to submit an entry for Film Festival
Kohei and I were going to pay a visit. Let's go together ok?
Please return all these clothes
But our research has shown that these are very well received
I'm only translating her order
- Thanks for the hard work - Oh, you too
Sorry about what happened. They were adamant about using their own people
You don't have to take the assistant position
With your skill, you can easily get a job as a manger at our other brands
If you'd like, I can talk to the human resources
It's ok Don't worry about it
Ok?
- Excuse me, can you take care of these? - Yes
- Hello, this is Isaki - Hello...
I cannot come to the phone right now
Please leave a message after the beep
This is Reach
I don't have anything important to say...
Just wondering how you were doing
That's all
Ugh, what am I doing?
Kohei
- What's up? - I came to heal my broken heart...
What?
You idiot, we're here to cheer up Reach!
Come this way!
Gotta eat curry rice like back in the old days
Let's go in Kohei
You dumbass, quit fondling the watermelon!
- Long time no see - Long time no see
Eh?
Please designate this area as kid's area
We're going to turn it into a space for Moms
But...
And please throw out these childish direct mailing postcards
But Isaki felt that since this is a kid's clothing store,
postcard would be a great way to...
We already have new design coming so please discard these
Yes
Please stop by to check out our pretty kids clothing We'll me waiting! - Isaki
Shouldn't we go for super-hero genre?
Romance genre suits Reach more
- Bah, let's take a break - We haven't done anything yet
Keep working!
I said keep working! You have no concentration
- Hello - Hello
I got your voicemail
Oh
I was just wondering how you were doing too
Ah
I don't have anything to say really...
I just missed you
Sorry
It's ok! Don't worry about it!
Oh it's not that... I'm at Yugawara right now
Huh?
I worked on graduation project here So I figured it'd be nice to write my script here
- Oh I see - Yeah
±×·¡?
So you're really making a film
- Hey, why do you like films? - Huh?
At first, you just wanted to emulate Eisuke...
but that wasn't the only reason, right?
I'm not good at expressing my feelings through words so I figured I could do it through film
- Ah... - What do you mean, "Ah..."?
So you're writing what you're feeling right now
Huh?
In your script
- Good luck - Ok
I'll get going
Ok
I know it's already late tonight but may tomorrow we could...
Ok
- Are the stars there pretty? - Huh?
Is the sky clear over there?
So?
It's cloudy... I can't see anything
You should've just lied and said it was pretty!
If I lie, you can see it on my face...
But I can't even see your face right now
Ah, I see them here
- through the cloud - Oh...
What? A gift for you?
I don't have time for that!
You just told me to work hard!
- What's up? - Oh it's nothing
Reach, curry is ready Ayumi's tasty special curry!
Hurry up!
I'll talk to you later
Ok
- Yummy! - Yummy
Can't beat curry when you're camping
Reach, try this
I'm going to go now
You're not going to eat?
Yeah, I have a flight tomorrow
Then Reach, you should take her to the train station
That's ok. Good luck with your work
It's raining, so be careful!
Ayumi!
Ayumi
I've been meaning to tell you this...
I really wanted to make a film so I quit driving school
So right now I'm saving up funds so I can submit my work next month
And...
- And I think we should... - I know what you're going to say!
So please, let me dump you this time
I thought I could understand you better,
but I guess I was wrong
I don't like someone who's just getting by
It doesn't suit me
I'm sure I'll meet someone much better
And you will too, Reach
So...
Ok...
Stars are beautiful
The End
Done!
- You sure we didn't miss the train? - You're the one who made us late
- Hey, Reach - Sorry, wait up
- Reach! - Ok, I'm going!
Can I have this please?
- Here.. - Thank you
- Isaki - Ah, Mino! What's up?
Can you tag along with me to somewhere?
Sorry, but today is not the best....
- Isaki - Yes
Sorry, but maybe next time
Ok
Please return all the clothes on this list
and replace them with new ones
- Right now? - Yes
Ok
I'll be right back
- Good work - Good work
- Need any help? - No, it's ok
Sorry, looks like everybody got paged to the HQ
You're really mad, right?
What?
It's ok. You can vent to me
You know...
- I really didn't want to do this job - Huh?
I did it, because I had no choice
But after awhile, I started to develop a passion for this job
Like how you get attached to someone you hate?
Don't you ever think about just getting married?
Isn't what's his face getting married? Our old friend... Sasagawa
Yeah, and I hear Suzuki already has two kids
Remember how we used to talk about...
who would be the first one to get hitched and who would be the last?
Yeah I remember
We said, if we're not married by 30 we should just pick amongst ourselves
And right now...
- It's only two of us left - Really?
Wow I guess you're right
Let's get married
The remaining two of us
- You know, this is the worst proposal ever - Yeah I guess
Tags, tags
- Do you want to date? - Huh?
With me that is...
I'm sorry
I...
I already have someone I like
Haha you were probably joking but I'm being so serious with my answer
I'm serious
Sorry...
[Serizawa Reach]
Sorry, we're not yet...
- Hi~ - Come on in
Here you go
Sorry for showing up before the opening
It's ok
You know...
we are planning a going-away party for Isaki...
so can we rent this place out?
I thought it was postponed?
- Oh really? - Yep...
Isaki is too busy to hang out with me these days
And Reach is off somewhere writing script
- Things aren't going well for those two - Huh?
Eh? I mean Reach and Isaki
No way...
Eisuke, you're surprisingly thickheaded
Isaki said Reach is just like her little brother
That's why it's so hard for her
If she had known about her true feelings from the beginning...
things would've been much easier
I don't understand women at all....
- You don't know? - No I don't
You really don't know?
Then...
you don't know how I feel about you?
Welcome
Hello
- What would you like? - Beer please / Beer? Ok!
- What should we eat? - Sorry, I already ordered for you
Oh really?
- Beer coming up - Thank you
Cheers~
Can you take our order please?
- Is something wrong? - Huh?
You said you 'missed me'
Yeah, there's been some stuff going on...
- Ah, did you finish your script? - Yup
- What's it about? - Huh?
Come on, you can tell me
- It's about a dog and.. - Dog and?
- a middle-aged man - Huh?
Well it really doesn't matter what it's about
Ah, so you finished it
How's your work?
- We were able to open the shop - Oh, that's great!
- Yep - "Yep"?
- Let's not talk about work - Isn't it fun?
Huh?
that you get to work with people and complete something from start to finish
I also had a lot of fun working on the script with Kohei and Kida
Oh here
- What's so fun about it - Huh?
Anyway, I'm happy for you. Looks like things are going well for you
When you worked on your script Ayumi was there too, right?
- Yeah, but that's because Kida and Kohei brought her... - I heard you guys ate curry too!
Sounds like you did a lot of fun things over there
- Did what? - Well...
Well think about it. You stayed the night with your girlfriend
Must be nice... being able to run away like that in the name of making film
- Run away? - Yeah,
just like what what you did that morning.
Sorry, let's forget about it
What happened that time between us... was just a mistake right?
The reason why I went to the summerhouse is because...
- so Ayumi and I can... - Reminisce about the past, right?
I hear you also wrote your graduation project there
You went there to pour your heart out into the script, right?
And your graduation project was a love story, right?
That was a long time ago
- Hear me out first! - But you didn't listen to me either...
What?
After what happened that time...
I became so confused but I was too busy with work...
so there was a lot going on in my head...
- But you never said anything to me back then - That's because you just left!
I was going to tell you, but you had already left
You are the one who told me to pursue my dream
What are you saying?
You made the film because of me?
You did it because you wanted to!
And you too wanted to run the kids apparel shop
- and try your best - Yeah I did
But...
And you're the one who told me not to worry about what happened that morning
because we were both drunk
Then why did you leave without saying anything?
and why are you trying to apologize?
I took that as you were trying to pretend nothing happened
Please stop tell everybody about what happened between us that night
- Who said I did such thing? - Do you know how much it hurt me?
I'm trying to be considerate and try to work this out
Yeah you are right
- I should've kept my big mouth shut! - That's not what I meant!
Then never should've slept together!
Never should've slept together
