What did you want to talk about?
Shuji, what do you think of Riko?
She's just a childhood friend.
Is that what you really think of her?
What do you mean?
If you're really just childhood friends,
it shouldn't be a problem if I confess to her, right?
What would you do if I said I liked Riko?
She's always been so straightforward
and careless.
She also ruffles my heart willfully.
She follows me around and annoys me.
But…
She said she likes my photos.
I thought she was just a childhood friend.
But since we've met up again, before I knew it,
I stopped seeing her that way.
I've realized that I like her too.
You're selfish, Shuji.
You're leaving in six months, right?
Who told you?
You may be chasing after your dream or whatever.
But can you take Riko with you?
I can stay by her side forever.
I'll protect her.

[Episode 7]
Arata!
Sorry, I'm late.
No problem.
The ocean... The ocean is a great idea.
What?
You're going to take pictures for the presentation here, right?
You're always so hardworking.
Um, Riko?
It's fine if I take the picture with my phone, right?
That's not why I invited you here.
I have something to tell you.
What is it?
Why are you so nervous?
I like you, Riko.
What?
But we've always been friends.
I've never thought of you as a friend.
I've always liked you.
Sorry.
I already have someone I like.
I like Shu.
So I can't accept your feelings.
I'm sorry.
- But Shuji's going to... - What?
Never mind.
I'll wait...
Until you see me.
Six months, a year, or how long it takes.
Arata.
This is awkward.
Yeah, a bit.
Sorry. It's my fault.
You don't need to apologize. I was happy to hear your feelings.
But I don't how I should act around you now.
Can we just act as we used to before?
But...
At least while we're working, I want us to be like we were before.
I want this project to be succeeded till the end.
I know I'm being selfish.
I want to support you on the project to the end too.
Thanks.
Shu, could you take a look at the photos we took recently?
Sorry. I'm a bit busy right now.
If you keep staring at takoyaki intensely, it would taste bad.
We can't have that.
What? You said you wanted to eat takoyaki, but you don't seem excited at all.
Yoshino, I'm going to tell you something, but try not to be surprised.
What is it?
Actually,
Arata confessed to me yesterday.
What?
I was so surprised.
I always thought we were just friends.
I didn't expect him to confess to me.
Wait. You don't seem very surprised.
You really didn't notice his feelings before?
Of course not.
Wait, did you?
It's obvious.
Seriously?
What are you going to do?
Of course, I turned him down.
I feel bad for Arata, but I like Shu.
Riko.
I realized that I seriously like him.
I see.
Your first love that you couldn't forget
Is finally moving forward.
I'm going to be honest with my feelings now.
Shu!
I retouched my photo, so can you take a look?
Sorry.
Shu...
Is this the right angle?
I did it. Look!
You didn't get it at all.
What?
What is this?
I thought it'd be easy to understand if we used people who looked like anime characters, but maybe not.
Your drawing is terrifying!
Really? Terrifying?
- It's terrible. - No way.
- Were you going to use the drawing on the document? - I was.
- Does it look odd? - Yeah.
- I have another drawing too. - I don't need to see it.
But I didn't like it. What do you think?
- That's good. - You like this one better?
How cheerful. They remind me of the time when I was in high school.
I prefer the first one.
I wanted to try something different.
This is just an idea.
Shu.
Do you have time to help our photoshoot this week?
I'm sorry but I can no longer help your project.
I'm going out for a bit.
Wait for me.
Shu, is there something wrong?
I don't understand if you don't talk to me.
Why are you avoiding me?
I didn't mean to avoid you.
Then why?
I cooperated with you only to take photos.
- Wait. - Don't!
Sorry.
I am an idiot.
I can do this. One day...
I will definitely catch up to him.
Why am I always stumbling over?
If I give up now, all my efforts will be a waste.
Okay.
I can do this.
[Deep Green Photo Studio]
Shu.
You waited for me to do what?
You haven't changed at all.
Shu.
Listen.
Please...
except this.
Happy birthday.
I wanted to give you this.
It's nothing expensive.
I can't except this.
Why not?
I can't tell what you're thinking at all.
You were sweet to me the other day.
Did I do something to upset you? What did I do wrong?
This is
none of your business.
Why do you say that?
This is my business too.
Because I've always liked you since young.
I tried to forget you after you moved to Tokyo and lost contact with you.
You were always in my heart.
I was happy when we met again accidentally.
I knew it was our fate.
Shuji Ichihara,
I'm in love with you.
Sorry.
This is a gift for you.
If you don't want it, you can just toss it.
See ya. Bye.
[Arata Shindo]
Saeki!
Are you all alright?
Arata, what brought you here?
I'm fine, so don't worry.
Of course, I'm worried about you.
Don't act tough.
I can't leave you alone when you're in pain.
I said I'm fine.
Makes me cry when I feel the true kindness of a person.
But that's because I'm being selfish.

Are you crying?
I'm not.
You're lying.
Even if you don't shed tears, your heart is crying.
I can tell.
[Preview] I confessed to Shu.
But he rejected me.
Don't you feel sorry for Arata?
Is that my fault?
Yoshino, I didn't know anything.
I like Arata.
