Maybe we should...
break up.
Are you serious?
I'm putting you through so much.
I love you, Kakei-kun.
I love you, love you, love you and I love you so much.
I love you, too, Narumi.
Narumi, you said...
Love can overcome anything.
But can it really?
Love fades in time and environment.
This relationship is just tiring to us both.
How could you say such cold things...
I don't understand.
Let's stop repeating the same things.
Narumi, I think...
You need someone else.
Someone like Toride...
That's enough.
I got it.
Let's call it quits.
You're right.
I guess love can't overcome everything.
Besides, we live in different worlds.
Kakei-kun, you used to work at a Host Club.
And your have a mother like that...
Bye.
I'm glad!
I feel relieved!
Next time I'm going with someone like Toride-kun.
who's gentle and only looks at me,
or the one with a nice car like Matsuoka-kun.
I'll go everywhere with him
and will make a lot of memories.
Sooner or later, I'm going to...
I'm going to...
...forget you, Kakei-kun.
I will definitely forget you, Kakei-kun!

So, you haven't seen Kakei since?
Umm...
It was so simple.
Maybe "You" should call him.
I don't have the courage.
I knew it was coming...
I felt lately...
Kakei-kun was tired of seeing me.
He probably feels relieved.
What?! This key doesn't work now.
So many things just break.
It's almost Christmas...
Yeah...
Matsuoka!
Oh!
Ah...Narumi...
Aa!
I guess I'm in the way here.
See you.
So is it over between them?
Who knows...
Here...
Tickets to a Christmas Classical Concert.
How did you get the tickets?
Would you want to go?
When is it?
24th.
We just call it a "Christmas Eve."
Find a date for those special nights.
I don't have such a person in my life.
I don't like getting together and breaking up so easily.
I really want someone who truly understands me.
I'm late for class.
Good luck.
Matsuoka! The tickets...
Komazawa Gakuen
Sakura Jyosui 3 Chome Bus Depot
What are you looking at?
Toride-kun! ...
That one...
What a lovely platinum earrings!
It's almost Christmas.
I'd like that for Christmas.
128,000 yen?
I could support myself for one month on that.
What a price...
Do you want to go for some tea?
Sure.
Have you been eating well?
Yes.
Don't lie to me.
Don't drink coffee.
You shouldn't drink coffee on an empty stomach.
Drink some milk.
Milk...
It's good for you.
Excuse me...
I want to order a cup of milk...
Warm one, please.
Don't be so sweet to me.
Don't be so considerate.
The tears are coming!
Here.
Thanks.
I'm sorry.
But I can’t help being myself when I'm with you.
That's OK.
Cry all you want to.
You don't have to force yourself to smile.
Toride-kun...
This is from those Telephone Clubs.
Home Telephone Club Real phone calls from girls Normal, SM, 3P---any desire possible!
Yeah...
Someone gave it to me on the street.
You know...
You can't buy these things...
Here's your pay.
Thank you.
Tamotsu...
What are you doing for Christmas?
I don't know.
Don't you have a date with your girlfriend?
We broke up.
Don't give me that look.
We broke up.
I see.
I'm still in the middle of knitting...
It's a beautiful color.
Is it a present for someone?
Yes.
I like the color.
It's perfect.
This is Sonoda speaking.
This is Toride speaking.
Ah... Toride-kun...
You're too much.
Sorry I'm not Kakei.
No, I didn't mean that...
Yes, you did!
I don't care about that.
By the way, Seika is on the way.
eh?!
I want to come there but I'm a little busy now.
Hold on, Toride-kun!
Toride's such a big mouth.
What a messy room...
I don't feel like doing anything...
When did you break up with Kakei?
About a week ago...
You can't sleep, eat or do anything.
You find tears coming to your eyes. Right?
Sometimes I felt urges to walk through the Red Light.
Typical heartbroken laments...
Well then, leave everything to me
Let me use your kitchen.
Let's eat dinner together.
Bon Appetit.
Umm...not bad...
Let me taste...
It's...delicious.
Isn't it easy to eat even without an appetite?
Yes...
Thank you, Seika.
That's what friends are for.
I just went through
a heartbreak, too.
I was walking with him...
I got so nervous abruptly...
I said that we'd never walked together like this before.
And guess what he said?
He said, "Really?"
Ah...Yes!
He was trying to hide his shyness, perhaps?
"Bye Bye", we said. Then a little while later...
"Seika!" He called to stop me.
The stars were shining above.
I had my hopes that he'd confess his love to me...
Then, he said...
Narumi...
Has she been going to school?
It was really a shock to me.
eh?!
I...
I had a crush on Kakei.
Since prep-school...
I had a crush on him.
Why didn't you tell me?
Don't worry about it, Narumi.
Even if you weren't around,
Kakei never would've fallen in love with me.
So~
I gave up!
But I didn't really feel depressed.
There’s someone else in my heart already.
Someone else?
Yes.
Someone so close...
that I just never noticed.
I'm sorry, Seika.
I didn't know your feelings...
Narumi...
If you want to make me happy,
find the courage
to call Kakei again.
I feel bad for Toride...
But I want you two to be happy.
Because I care about Kakei and Narumi, the both of you.
Can you give this to Kakei-kun?
I'd mail it, but I really want him to read it.
It's just a short letter.
Please.
OK.
I promise to give it to him.
Kakei
"National Center for University Entrance Examination [Daigaku-Nyushi-Center-Shiken] Jan 15~16
This is something!
Kyoto University Tokyo University
You're studying hard.
Are you only aiming for the National Universities?
Yeah.
I can't afford to go to another private university.
You'll get in, I'm sure.
Want some coffee?
You have no intention of seeing Narumi again?
It's over between us.
Are you sure that's what you want?
Until I pass my entrance exam,
I don't want to think about anything else.
I see.
You're right.
This is a crucial time in your life.
You should just concentrate on your studies to pass National Universities.
Thanks.
Toride cut classes again.
What's he up to?
He'd better get back to school soon.
Matsuoka-kun!
My letter...
Did you give it to him?
Yeah. He read it on the spot.
Really?
Thanks!
I owe you.
Letter? What letter?
I wrote a letter to Kakei-kun.
I'd wait for him under the tree
from 7 to midnight on Christmas Eve.
Sounds typical of you, Narumi.
How romantic!
Do you think he'll come?
Don't worry. He'll come.
Kakei doesn't want to break up with you.
There's no worry.
What are you doing?
Skipping classes every day... and you've been doing this?
I'm not a rich boy like you.
You got angry?!
Sorry, sorry. I was just joking.
I was really joking.
Hey! Toride!
Finish up and start working!
Yes! I'm coming right now!
I'm paid by hour.
I've been answering for you but...
sooner or later, they'd notice you.
Just until Christmas.
Christmas?
I'll be right over!
You take over here.
Yes, sir.
I'm sorry!
To To To oo... Narumi!
Darling!
Hug!! Smack!!
Be sure to come, OK?
Alright!
Hey! Toride! Hey!
Look up! Watch it!
Sorry.
Sorry! I'll be more careful!
It's finished.
I hope you like it....
It's perfect.
Thank you.
Don't mention it, please.
Gakugyo Omamori Good Luck Charm for Studying
Thank you.
You work for us again, will you?
Yes!
Thank you everyone.
Thank you!
Oh, you, too.
Good luck!
Ika No Shiokara (Salted Squid)
Tamotsu, are you home?
What are you doing?
What does it look like?
How depressing.
It's Christmas outside!
That's why I told you to forget about college.
Say, my man is ...
opening a Host Club.
He says he'll hire you, Tamotsu.
What are you looking for?
What do you call it?! Candle holder?
The one that spins around and around.
With that one...
Me and my man...tonight...
Ah!
Here it is.
Bye.
Narumi!
It's so beautiful.
Beautiful, indeed...
I wish I could stay but I have to go.
You're tutoring on Christmas Eve?
I deliberately scheduled myself for work.
It's better than not having anything to do.
Tell Kakei I said "Hi".
Don't worry.
He'll come.
See you later.
Bye bye!
What's all this?
Even Jukensei (“Taking Examination Students”) needs Christmas Break.
I had our Family Chef fix this.
She happens to be our maid.
Can I use your kitchen?
Sure.
Here... Caviar and Tapioca Soup.
French Cuizine?
I forgot to buy a cake.
But I'm glad you got one.
What?
I found a box over there.
Dear Tamotsu Merry Christmas
What are you doing?
Toride-kun...
Long time, no see.
I hear you've been cutting classes and
spending all your time with your girlfriends.
Who told you that?
That's what Matsuoka-kun said.
I hear you're waiting for Kakei.
How did you know?
I ran into Seika,
a little earlier.
Aren't you supposed to meet him at 7?
It's 7:30 already.
Goodbye.
What?
I don't want to be ...
...seen like this.
It's miserable...
On Christmas Eve...
...being alone...
...waiting for a man who might not come at all...
It's miserable.
It is miserable alright.
I don't want to see you like this anymore.
Do you love Kakei that much?
I thought you already broke up with Kakei.
He betrayed you.
You went through so much pain...
I know.
I know, but...
You never learn...
Suit yourself.
I don't care anymore.
We sure ate and drank a lot.
I feel a little drunk.
Why don't you lay down?
Can I?
Sure.
I guess I will.
You should.
Matsuoka!
What?...
Are you meeting a girlfriend tonight?
eh?
You know...
I saw that present...
Is it for Seika?
er...
In fact...
You can't drive like that.
Stay here and rest.
OK.
I'll be studying over here.
Never mind me.
Are you up?
Yeah...it looks like...
I fell asleep.
Yeah.
It looks like...
I had a great dream.
What was it about?
Um...?
I can't remember.
Typical...
Want some coffee?
It'll wake you up.
Thanks.
I'll go buy some.
Don't worry about it.
I want some, too.
I run out of coffee.
Kakei...
It's cold. Freezing cold...
I'm leaving.
Matsuoka.
I'm leaving.
Why so suddenly?
Stop it!
You noticed, didn't you?
Not Seika!
Not a woman!
But you!
You...
Kakei, I've always...
I've always been...
Matsuoka...
Kakei...
I would...
I'd never hurt you
or demand anything from you.
You'd be never restraint in anyway.
I'd always protect you.
I'd do anything for you.
I love you.
It's been burdening me for years...
I love you.
It's OK.
I'm leaving.
Sorry to trouble you.
Aah...Matsuoka?
What were you doing?
Ah...
Matsuoka...
Matsuoka, is something the matter?
Matsuoka!
What's happening?
It's over now!
His eyes...
...showed his fear...
He looked at me as if I were a monster
W...Wait! Matsuoka!
What are you doing?!
Matsuoka!
Stop it!
You're going to be OK.
I'm sorry I'm not Kakei.
It's me, Toride.
All the illuminations are off now.
It's twelve midnight.
These lights go out after all...
I didn't know.
Kakei didn't come.
Why are you here, Toride-kun?
I've been watching you from over there.
I was going to leave when Kakei came.
You've been here since 7?
So have you.
Narumi...
Merry Christmas.
28 seconds too late, though.
Wahhh!
You said you wanted it for Christmas.
But this...Toride-kun, it costs...
130,000 yen!
By any chance...
Were you working for this?
Put it on, will you?
I'll hold that.
My hands are so stiff.
OK...I could take it off.
My ears are numb, too.
Let me try it.
Shoot!
eh?!
I found it.
It's OK.
Don't worry about it, Toride-kun.
But it costs 130,000 yen.
At least I want to find a half...
Don't worry about it.
I'll stay here.
Now I understand.
I can't do anything without you.
I could keep myself going with Kakei-kun
because you were always there for me.
When I was hurting...
Always by my side,
Toride-kun, you were with me.
Narumi...
I didn't realize it before but...
I always ended up...
with coming back here.
Just stay right here.
Don't go anywhere else.
Matsuoka!
It's snowing.
Ah...
There was a song...
whose lyrics go a little like this ...
A sweet ballard from the car radio
...turned two friends into lovers.
Will a White Christmas...
...change our lives?
What are you doing?
Say...
Do you know this legend?
Things that happen on a white Christmas
just as the snow melts away,
they disappear.
Never heard that one.
I just made it up.
You're fair.
Would you melt away if I held you?
You could try.
It's beautiful.
Here you go.
Chicken and cake.
Toride-kun...
I was wishing the lights would come on.
And then...
They did!
You're right.
I found the switch.
It was back there.
Is that so?
Did I wake you?
Shall I make some coffee?
Kakei-kun...
I just had to see you one last time, Kakei-kun.
At 7 PM on Christmas Eve,
Meet me under the Christmas tree at school.
If you don't come by midnight,
I promise...
I will forget about you and move on with my life
Narumi.
Matsuoka?
Coffee, black OK?
Seika?
Hmm?
Was Narumi waiting for Kakei?
Yes, under the Christmas tree at school.
Is something the matter, Matsuoka?
This letter...
I didn't give it to him.
Matsuoka...
Sonoda residence.
We can't come to the phone right now.
Narumi isn't home.
But it says "till midnight."
You never know...
She's sincere and earnest.
Is this Kakei?
It's me, Seika.
It's only 5 in the morning!
What's up?
In fact, yesterday...
Narumi was waiting for you, from 7 to Midnight,
under the Christmas Tree at school.
But her letter....
Matsuoka couldn't give it to you.
Narumi...
I found it!
I found it, Narumi!
