-Good evening. -Good evening.
Terrace House is a show about six strangers living together,
and we observe how they interact.
All that we've prepared is a beautiful home and automobiles.
-There is no script at all. -Yes.
In last week's episode, Ryo was injured while playing basketball.
Hana is supporting him through his recovery.
-Right. -Icing his foot and cooking his meals.
She was trying her best to make a lasting impression.
I would like to figure out my feelings,
-and could use your help to do that. -Okay.
She basically said everything but the words "I like you."
She's going all in.
But Ryo is going through a rough time. So it's hard to...
-Match her enthusiasm. -Because of his injury.
That confession was much too soon.
She must be panicking.
Having spent lots of time overseas,
he and I have very similar life experiences.
I also like that he's financially stable.
You're almost a spitting image of my ex.
The way you blink is similar, I think.
He looks like her ex...
That move was undeniably effective.
"The way you blink..."
-Could it really be that similar? -Seriously?
I'm sure blinking is roughly the same for everyone, generally.
She must be watching him very closely.
-Exactly, spot-on. -Right?
She wants him to know she notices him.
-She's intrigued. -She wants to make it known
that he's on her radar, huh?
Wow. Russia, the undefeated champion.
The whole country?
-They're made of steel. -They are resilient.
I mean, the leader of the country rides a bear.
Wait, he rides a tiger. That's right. Long enough to take a photo.
-They're a different breed. -No joke.
Tupas stole Emika away to the playroom.
He's actually quite assertive.
I can't wait to see Yesterday.
Let me know when. I'll join you. Perhaps we could do dinner
-on the same day. -I'd love that.
Emika says she would consider dating him.
Kai invited Vivi out on a pottery date.
They seemed to be having so much fun.
But the exchange that happened right before this date was crucial.
-In the girls' room. -Yes, the night before.
She would rather have gone with Ryo.
After she revealed that, it was as if she forgot that she'd made plans with Kai.
I know we talked about it, but I didn't think it'd happen so soon.
-How exciting. -Let's go.
-The weather is great. -True.
Her vibe was like, "Did we say today? Sure, why not?"
If she didn't have to go, she probably wouldn't have gone.
That's what I read from her reaction.
But Kai insisted that they go.
In the last scene, they were enjoying curry that Vivi cooked.
-Then Hana entered the room. -And then...
-What's up? -Nothing. Do you want to chat?
Me? Sure.
-You folded this? -I did.
-Look at you. -What about it?
That must've been rough for her.
It's too much. Vivi innately knows how to charm people.
It comes effortlessly for her.
She doesn't seem to be scheming or manipulating.
-She's simply endearing by nature. -So true.
That's why it hurts so much for Hana.
-Because she can't do that? -Well...
If Vivi were trying very hard to be alluring,
Hana wouldn't take her seriously.
But Vivi's cuteness is irresistible.
-You know? -That's the difference.
-That's just who she is. -Ryo seems delighted by it.
Ryo's spirits were low because of the injury.
Imagine your rival being the person who's able to bring a smile to his face.
-That's tough. -True.
I imagine Kai will succeed in cheering her up.
I'm excited to see the comedian flex his skills.
Hush now! Stop it.
-Don't be too harsh on him. -Just watch.
-The playroom would be better? -Yeah.
Have you been?
-Not yet. -It'll be your first time?
-I'm happy to show you around. -Thank you.
Right, they're still there.
I don't think this smells at all.
-That one? Maybe. -This one.
It's my first time in here.
-So, this is the playroom. -You like it?
It's so spacious. Very cool.
So, what's up?
So, the person that... How should I say this? I have special...
-feelings for... -Yeah?
I don't know how to interact with him.
One of the reasons I came to this house was that...
I don't have much experience with love and dating,
and I wanted to overcome that.
I knew I couldn't continue the way I had in the past.
I've been challenging myself to grow, and I've been giving my best effort.
I can't believe I'm crying over this.
There's nothing wrong with it at all.
-I think it's normal. -I feel pathetic.
-Everyone goes through it sometimes. -Yeah? Well...
-About Vivi... -Yeah?
Ever since she arrived, I've been feeling... that...
her communication abilities far exceed mine,
even with the strides I've made since I moved in.
Conversation flows easily between the two of them.
I was already feeling down about myself after realizing that.
Then I saw them heading off to chat alone.
So, I... I just...
I have no idea why I'm crying so hard.
If you feel that deeply, you must really like him.
Yeah...
I'm frustrated.
I was trying my best, but it wasn't enough.
I see...
I already sensed that
Ryo doesn't see me in any romantic way.
But if I gave up because of that, I knew nothing would change
and that I wouldn't grow.
Even if he doesn't reciprocate my feelings,
I wanted to give it my best shot so that he would like me maybe a little.
But my heart...
It's too painful and I want to give up.
-Why? -It's too much to endure.
How was your date today?
It was fun... Was that a date?
We made pottery.
-Pottery, huh? -Yeah, that's all.
-Making pottery is super-- -I hear you. That doesn't make it a date.
-Just because you hung out one-on-one. -Right? I agree.
-We just... -Hung out?
As friends.
-It was platonic. -Right.
-I see what you're saying. -Yeah.
I value my own time, maybe a bit too much.
It's really important that I know what I want to do with my time
and who I want to spend it with.
That resonates with me a lot.
I'm currently 26 and I want to be married soon.
Rather than thinking, "Would I like to date this person?"
I think, "Can I see this person as the mother of my children?"
I get that.
My values are similar.
I often feel like
rushing into a relationship is a waste of my time.
-Good point. You're advanced for 24. -I want my own time...
I haven't met a young person as put together as you. Brilliant.
Vivi is so effortlessly charming.
She's able to fall into a rhythm with Ryo.
I mean, they must have great chemistry. That's apparent to me when I see them.
It's pretty obvious. Vivi and Ryo must also sense
that they're quickly becoming fond of each other.
-Yeah... -So there's that.
I can tell.
So, if I tell him how I feel about him, I'm scared that he'll reject me,
or that I'll force him into an uncomfortable position, so--
It's not your job to worry about how he reacts.
-Really? But-- -If you want to tell him...
If you explain your feelings and things don't work out,
there's not much you can do about it.
But you can use that experience to help you continue to grow.
Yeah...
-Maybe I should try. -Yeah.
If he rejects me, I think that...
it might take a lot of pressure off of my shoulders.
You have something
that is undeniably special about you.
Yeah...
You'll find someone who loves you for all your greatness.
What about you? Do you have a crush?
A crush?
I've hung out with Vivi,
and I like that she's honest and true to herself.
Being with someone honest would encourage me to be true to myself.
Oh, no. Sorry for what I've said.
-Don't worry about it. -But...
My feelings toward her aren't affected by this information.
It's an interesting twist...
Maybe that's not the best way to put it.
I'm a Negative Nancy, so don't take my words to heart.
When I'm having a great time with someone, it makes me want to see more of them.
When they're away, that makes me miss them even more.
So maybe focus on creating fun moments.
I'm always trying not to turn them off, so I often forget to have fun.
-You end up overthinking things, right? -Yeah.
I'm not sure how to ask him out,
so I casually floated the idea of going for dinner together sometime.
But I'm not sure what to do from there, so nothing has happened.
You should make that happen.
If I give up now, I won't evolve.
I'm going to try again. I want to give it another try.
Yeah, I think that's a great idea.
What do you do on your days off?
I like going to the movies.
-Or to museums. -Ooh.
Museums. There's the Yokohama Museum of Art in Yokohama.
I've never been there. I usually visit the Ueno Royal Museum.
Or the Mori Art Museum in Roppongi.
-Ueno is my favorite. -You go by yourself?
-I prefer to. -I understand.
You can look at your own pace.
I thought about inviting you to visit the museum in Yokohama.
But going solo is much better.
-I agree. -Right.
But I wouldn't mind trying it with you.
I'd like to see the museum in Yokohama.
-I've never been either. -Really?
What are they showing right now?
-I'm not sure. -I wonder.
-If it sounds interesting, we should go. -Sure.
I totally get it. That's my idea of fun.
The top photo in your LINE feed looks a lot like my necklace.
What's that for? You're wearing my initial?
Get over yourself.
-What was that about? -"Get over yourself."
What does the "R" stand for?
First off, my last name starts with "R."
-I see. -Yeah.
And also, a guy that I used to like...
his last name also started with "R."
You can't forget him?
No, I'm at peace with it.
-So now it's "R" for Ryo, right? -Perhaps it could become that.
I'm insufferable.
-Wow. -I've been wondering this entire time
whether that had anything to do with me.
-You thought it was about you? -Yeah.
-From the very beginning? -Yeah.
You thought I came to Terrace House to get close to you?
Yeah.
It's a joke. Of course I didn't think that.
I thought it was for Russia.
"R" for Russia? Yeah, you nailed it.
I should buy a necklace with "J" for Japan.
-No, it should be "V." -What?
-I'll get you one that says "V." -As a gift?
Yeah.
-Let's get a matching pair. -That's crazy.
Hilarious.

I'll go shopping for it tomorrow.
-At the local mall? -Sure, the mall should have it.
-I don't like cooking much for myself. -You don't?
Well, sometimes... Sometimes I do prefer homecooked meals.
But sometimes you feel lazy?
I end up making the same thing a lot. Like what you ate earlier.
I'll mix salmon sashimi and avocado, and top it with some sesame seeds.
-And add ponzu. -You like ponzu?
I could drink it straight.
I dunno.
I love ponzu, too.
-You're lying. -For real.
-I'm a huge fan. -Well...
-I'm the bigger... -Really, I'm telling you.
-Stop it. -Call my brother. He'll prove it.
Call my best friends. They can prove it.
-Do you eat rice with just ponzu? -Of course, anytime.
My favorite is rice with a raw egg and ponzu.
A raw egg and ponzu? Not soy sauce?
Ponzu, totally.
-Aji Pon brand? -Aji Pon...
Do you like Aji Pon the best?
-What is Aji Pon? -A major brand of ponzu.
Oh, it's the one with...
-The yellow cap one, right? Okay. -Right, that's Aji Pon.
-You didn't know the name? -No, I didn't.
-I knew. -Wow.
Good for you.
Can I record that gesture?
-No way. -Please? Do it again.
-Ugh. For what? -Please. Do it for me.
You have to. It was so cute.
Go ahead.
Do you know ponzu?
-Do it again. -I won't do it twice.
-Why? -Why do I have to do it twice?
'Cause it's cute.
Got it. Yay.
-I hate this... -I love it so much.
What am I doing?
Why so glum? Look.
Gross.
-It's not gross. -You think?
-Not one bit. -That's great to hear.
I should cook rice for tomorrow morning.
-Maybe there's leftovers... -There are lots.
After Emika has some, there won't be any left.
You think? Hold on.
I'll go look.
Your curry was delicious.
Thank you.
-There's plenty left. -How much?
Well... for you...
-one serving, I guess. -I thought so.
I'm not sure if Emika will be hungry.
Shall I make some more, just in case? Let's do that.
Don't worry, I'll do it. You should head to bed.
-No, you should rest. Have a seat. -You're tired, aren't you?
I'm telling you, I'm fine.
-No, you're not. -Why would I make you cook my food?
I'd be happy to do it.
Cooking rice makes you happy?
I'd be happy to do it for you.
What?
-No one is that kind. -Why not?
It's no big deal.
-You won't let me? -If you really don't mind.
-It'd be my pleasure. -Well, then...
-Sure. -Thank you.
You should have a seat. Actually...
-You should head to bed. -Are you sure?
-Of course. It's already late. -It's midnight.
-I thought so. -All right, then.
-Again, thank you so much. -Got it. Bye.
-Good night. -Good night.
-I really appreciate it. -No problem.
How could rinsing rice be so erotic?
How interesting...
-Oh, dear... -Did you see that, Tokui?
-Tokui. -Tokui!
Tokui, did you see that?
-It's your favorite scenario! -Bullseye.
He would've loved this.
-He would've said, "It's getting steamy." -I can hear it.
Best scene we've had in a while.
-It's almost like fate. -Masterclass flirtation is a sight to see.
It's less about them being masters. The chemistry is just perfect.
-I see. They're not playing games. -Not at all.
They're just effortlessly in sync.
-Got it. -They have similar values.
-Perfect from the get-go... -Hana should hold back for a bit.
-That's true. -If she waits patiently,
their passion might burn and disappear instantly.
-That's not possible. -Highly unlikely.
Never have Japan and Russia had better foreign relations than now.
-This is the best outcome. -Isn't it?
Based on their floorplan, I'm assuming you could hear
every conversation that happens downstairs. Am I right?
But if those two are this close,
it might help Hana to see that and let go of her feelings for him.
Letting go is a big part of growth, too.
Seeing that is a rude awakening. I'd see that and think,
"Jeez... Have at it."
-You're right. -I would.
Your delivery of that joke is cuter than the original.
"Please, have at it."
Who would've thought this could happen?
-Things move at lightning speed! -People are unpredictable.
Vivi isn't hesitating to make advances anymore.
Her affection is no-holds-barred.
-Her bra is completely undone as well. -Is it, now?
Absolutely.
Her bra came undone along with her inhibitions?
If there wasn't true chemistry, he wouldn't say things like,
-"That's not 'R' for Ryo?" -Exactly.
-It would be too forward. -You're right.
They're already super into each other.
They don't even need to confess their feelings.
-It's unnecessary. -They'll naturally evolve into a couple.
-They've practically docked already. -They've docked?
-You bet.
We've been watching unpixellated, explicit content this entire time?
-Yeah. Didn't you see it, too, Shochan? -Wow.
-I couldn't believe my eyes. -See? I knew it.
That's why you said you were feeling excited.
-I couldn't contain it. It was explicit. -That's what it was.
-It was practically sex. -That's why I was excited.
I've never felt so electrified watching rice being rinsed in milky water.
Contain yourself.
You went too far with that line.
-You can't say "milky water." -It's disrespectful to the rice.
-Why is it always me? -You should apologize.
-I thought... -Apologize to dear Torichan and to rice.
-I thought we were having a good time. -That was so bad.
-That's right. -"Milky water" was too far.
-Face Torichan. -Make it right.
To Torichan and to rice farmers everywhere, I sincerely apologize.
That's right.
Disrespectful to the rice that nourishes us.
-How could you say such a thing? -Tokui...
I can't function without you by my side.
Tokui!
-Tokui, can you hear me? -Tokui...
-Tokui. Come home. -I'm not strong enough.
I am inexperienced in raunchy jokes.
Should I microwave this with the curry?
The rice is cold, too.
I'll microwave it.
-The fried egg as well? -No, that would make it rubbery.
-It would? -Yeah.
-I'm off today. -Oh?
That's nice.
-You get days off? -Yeah, today.
Do you have regular days off?
A precious rest day?
-Very precious, indeed. -I see.
I'm back at work tomorrow.
Shall we take a drive...
and enjoy lunch somewhere, Emika?
-Are you free? -That sounds lovely, doesn't it?
-I am. -Have you eaten already?
I haven't had anything yet.
-I was literally about to. -Great timing.
I'm happy to wait.
That can be for Kai.
I'm really glad you hadn't eaten that yet.
Really? You were watching in suspense?
Absolutely.
I'm so hungry, I was about to scarf this down.
Where are you two headed?
-Did you say, "Let's take a drive"? -Yes.
Maybe out to Shinokubo or around there.
Do you like spicy food?
-Huh? -She loves spicy food.
Spicy food? I love it.
-Let's head to Shinokubo. -Okay.
Crazy. How exciting.
That sounds fun. I should go get ready.
Hana, please eat this fried egg.
Okay.
-I hope I didn't overstep? -Not at all.
Thanks for letting me take her out.
-"Letting you take her out"? -We're "letting you"?
That makes it sound so official.
HEADING TO LUNCH WITH EMIKA. -TUPAS
-We'll be on our way. -Have fun. See you.
-Are you nervous driving the Jaguar? -Super nervous.
I could never drive this on my budget.
In school, I was always in the lower ranks of popularity.
I can only imagine that you were...
-quite popular. -People have told me that before.
Maybe because my fashion is flashy, people assume that.
But on the inside... I wouldn't say that I'm antisocial,
but rarely am I the center of attention.
-I'm surprised to hear that. -Unexpected, isn't it?
-Yeah. -I've been told that before.
I'd like to say
to my high school self...
"You may not be so popular now,
but if you work hard, you'll grow up and drive a fancy car like this
in the company of a beautiful woman."
You'd tell him
-he'd drive around with a popular girl? -Yeah.
How silly.
SHINOKUBO, TOKYO
This might be my first time in Shinokubo.
-I'm so hungry. -Me, too.
I'm glad I didn't eat the curry.
-Sorry to make you miss that. -It's okay. I had some yesterday.
You were literally seconds away from digging in.
-Oh, here's the place. -This is it?
MEMORIES OF KANTON
-Please, go ahead. -Thank you.
-Bon appétit. -Bon appétit.
-This looks great. -Looks delicious.
Let's eat.
Yum.
This would pair well with kimchi.
-Do you know what I'm about to say? -Huh?
"It's so good."
So, you've lived at Terrace House for three months now.
Have you been motivated to find love?
Finding love...
is the most urgent desire at the moment.
A little while back, I was considering leaving the house.
-Why? -But I hadn't found love yet.
I decided to hold onto hope and stay a bit longer.
Is there someone that fuels your decision to stick around?
I stayed because there was a person I saw potential in.
There are many aspects of a person that you can only see
once you live together.
Yes, that's true.
This morning...
you had no makeup on.
That caught my attention.
If I were more confident in my looks, I would wear makeup less often, but...
You're not confident about your looks?
-Not at all. -But why?
It's difficult. I tend to think negatively when it comes to myself.
I think you should be more proud. I mean...
I'm not in a position to tell you how to exist,
but I think you're brilliant and have tons to be proud of.
Thank you so much.
-That was delicious. -So good.
-I'm glad you invited me out. -The pleasure is mine.
Thank you for sharing your precious day off with me.
-Do you need to use the restroom? -Let's see...
I will make a stop before we go.
400 yen will be your change.
-Good to go? -What about the check?
I took care of it.
-Really? Thank you for the meal! -Don't mention it.
It's almost nighttime.
Hey, how was it?
Did you enjoy lunch?
Lunch? I had a lot of fun.
Is Tupas very talkative?
-He's good at leading the conversation. -For real?
We do hit lulls sometimes. But it isn't uncomfortable when we do.
Does he seem interested in you?
-It's too soon to tell. But... -Is he more like a friend?
I think he just wants to get to know me better.
I want to take my time to do that, too.
It was great. It's been a while since I've enjoyed that type of outing.
Do you see romantic potential in him?
Yeah, totally. I can see it.
-But who knows? -What will happen?
I feel masculine energy emanating from all of our new housemates.

LILY FRANKY, 56 ILLUSTRATOR
I don't think that's the part you need to push.
There you go.
-Very good. -Here you are.
It's been a week or ten days already, hasn't it?
That's correct. I moved in just last Saturday.
I know you're used to keeping our office and my home tidy.
-You're a professional. -So, I...
I hope you're keeping Terrace House very tidy.
I cleaned our home before leaving for your house today.
I made sure of it.
Is there anyone that catches your eye so far?
There is. Thank you kindly for asking.
-Already? -She's also very introverted.
-So she's very subdued, too? -She can...
-Do you have a photo? -She can be somber.
This is her.
"A university student dreaming of becoming a flight attendant."
She has a gloomy personality?
Just seeing her Instagram,
you might think she's a super popular person.
-I can see that. She seems effervescent. -She does.
From her photos, she seems to have more friends than she'd ever need.
Ooh, bikini shot.
She is quite the opposite.
Here, she looks carefree, shaking her hips in a bikini.
That's what I mean. It's as if...
She exists on a different planet than yours.
Absolutely.
She may be reserved in reality, but her Instagram showcases her vanity.
And she has lofty dreams. She's quite ambitious.
She values vanity. You two have opposite personalities.
I was truly gloomy as an adolescent, so I feel that...
I'm reliving my youth and getting a second chance.
"Reliving" may sound odd...
That's a dangerous slope to fall down.
If you try to chase a past that was never meant to be,
it's likely you'll end up...
Hitting a wall?
Which may be fine. Stumbling through life is your MO.
There's something I've been meaning to ask since the other day.
So, when...
-When I was chatting with Ryo... -Yeah?
I first thought you were laughing.
Then I thought I heard you sniffling.
So, it's just... Let me explain.
-Were you laughing? -No...
I couldn't tell if you were laughing or crying.
Well, I wasn't laughing...
It's just that you two get along so well, and...
-No way. -I felt envious, I guess.
I have no idea what's happening. I haven't asked how he currently feels.
For all I know, he could be in love with you.
That's not the case.
-You never know... -Definitely not the case.
-You never know. -There's no way.
I'm feeling myself already getting too excited.
For real. So, that night I was chatting with Ryo, right?
At one point, he did this weird move.
So I filmed it.
Ever since then, I've been watching that clip over and over
and just thinking, "Aw, he's very cute. How is he so freaking cute?"
I'm becoming far too excited.
-But he left today for away games. -Yeah...
That's the saddest piece of news I heard today.
-I didn't know. -About what?
That he wouldn't be home. I was looking forward to seeing him.
-But he's not here. -He's often gone.
-Is that true? -He's away a lot.
I don't like that.
-I agree. -I didn't know.
Yep.
I see... I'm feeling ambivalent.
Please understand that I have no animosity toward you.
Nor toward Ryo. I'm fighting to master myself.
I hope your ambivalence isn't about me.
-Hey. -I'm home.
What were you up to today?
-I was working. -Working, huh?
Was it fun?
-Work? -Yeah.
I love every moment of it.
-You do? -Of course.
Doing work that you love is amazing.
How was your date yesterday?
Did you score some brownie points on your drive with Emika?
I'm not sure if what I'm feeling is
simply the excitement of befriending someone more popular,
or if I actually have romantic feelings for her.
If it is romantic, what is it that makes you feel that way about her?
If it is romantic,
I'd have to say it's simply the first inspiration upon seeing her.
That makes sense.
That's the only way I know how to identify attraction.
She caught my eye when I watched the show.
She's cute and intriguing. I was drawn to her from the start.
I wasn't expecting her to still be here when I moved in...
since she'd been here for three months already.
I see.
I was having a few drinks by myself at the closest train station.
I felt a bit lonely.
I haven't made many friends yet since moving to Tokyo.
Living here with the six of us
and casually enjoying small talk every day...
I'm happy here.
-You are, huh? -Sure.
Until now...
I haven't felt loved...
I haven't felt genuinely loved...
by the people around me.
I've always been...
starved for affection. I've been yearning for affection.
It's always been just my mother, my younger brother and me.
Those two are the only family I have in Japan.
Lily practically saved me. My father left us.
We enjoy having dinner together.
Sometimes he even cooks for me.
At 22 years old...
I sometimes think this is what it would've felt like
if I had a father.
I've never had the luxury of being able to lean on someone.
I've never had that.
The other day...
when we had that welcoming party, I was so happy.
Yeah. I felt really happy, too.
I've never been part of a group like this before.
Not once in my life.
I know I'm in my head a lot.
If I find someone that I really like...
I want to totally let my guard down with them.
Hey. What's up, Tupas?
What's going on?
Huh?
-Um... have you been drinking? -You're bright red.
Ryo won't be home for a few days, right?
I'LL BE AWAY FOR BASKETBALL. -RYO
-For a few days? -Till Sunday, I think.
-You're right. -For real? He'll be gone for so long.
I texted him earlier.
What did you say?
I said, "You're not coming home today?"
He said, "I won't be home tomorrow, either."
I was chatting with Kai about this earlier.
I'm starved for love.
I've never really had the experience of being loved by someone ever before.
-Not even your parents? -I wouldn't say so.
It's a challenge to love someone else when you've never felt loved before.
That's incorrect. If you don't love yourself, you can't love someone else.
The opposite is also true.
You wouldn't know how to love someone else
if you didn't know what it was like to be loved.
You're saying if you never receive love, you'll never be able to love?
-Of course that's the case. -But it's not.
-But it is. -No, it's not.
-Because... -You've got it backwards.
You first have to discover love within yourself.
-That's not possible. -Why?
For example, your parents...
They show you love for the first time and you learn what it is.
Then you can exemplify that for others.
That's not true. What if you grew up without your parents?
How is someone supposed to understand love out of thin air?
You first focus on nourishing yourself.
Well, that's a beautiful theory.
It's not a theory. It comes from my own experience.
Your personality and the person you become is mostly dictated by
how your parents and family treat you
and the environment you grow up in.
There's truth to that.
But from that point of view,
you'll always be at the mercy of the decisions of others.
You've given up control over your life.
I don't agree with what you're saying.
I don't want to live life according to someone else's decisions.
I make my own decisions.
I don't have to live the way people expect me to.
That would be ideal.
-It's not just ideal-- -If I never learned how to be loved,
how am I supposed to know how to express that?
If you think that way, you'll continue to make excuses and pity yourself,
even when you're at fault.
If you accept a victim mindset...
it's easy to make excuses for yourself and deny opportunities for growth.
When you're in that cycle, there's no end to it.
At some point, we all have to grow up.
You have a responsibility in every decision you make in your life.
Whether you choose good or bad, the decision is your responsibility.
It takes the weight off to think this way.
Don't you think? Instead of blaming things on others.
No one else can fix your life for you.
How long are you going to wait for someone to show you love?
-You have to create it yourself. -That is ideal.
No, there's no other way.
You can't change other people.
Even if you find someone you love,
if they don't want to reciprocate that, there's nothing you can do.
Well, of course.
Right? Your security is then at the whim of whether someone loves you or not.
I don't want that.
So we have to be courageous
and proactive in finding love within ourselves.
What else can we do?
We'd be waiting forever.
-Isn't that a waste of life? -Yeah.
Hoping love will come and feeling dejected when it doesn't is lame.
So, look...
You're a good person and I know you're resilient.
So please don't talk about yourself in such a sad way.
You've "never been loved, so you don't know how to love"?
Of course you do.
The first thing you do when you wake up is come in here and clean all the dishes.
Don't you think that's a loving gesture?
You're able to show kindness to people.
So stop lying about yourself.
Stop saying that you don't know how to love.
You know how. You've learned plenty.
It's not good to play victim like that.
Being in this house is a great opportunity for someone like him.
-It was a great chat. -He's lucky.
Not everyone would be so patient with him.
I like how she pointed out to him,
"These actions that you do, these are loving acts."
-That was wonderful. -Very kind of her.
-Vivi is a rock star. -She gives great advice.
Her responses aren't half-hearted. She instills confidence.
"You already know how."
Damn it, Russia is undefeatable.
-Russia is invincible. -I'm impressed.
Hana, your opponent is mighty.
When Ryo did that move... What did he say?
He said "ponzu." Even that little exchange is so much fun when you're in love.
-That's what it means to be in love. -You're right.
-You've got a point. -Right?
I could stare at a loved one's photos or videos all day.
Or reread texts from them again and again.
Nonstop scrolling through LINE messages.
-Just doing that can be so exciting. -Crazy, isn't it?
What about Vivi saying to Hana,
"You never know. He might be gaga over you."
-That felt like cruel lip service. -Well, that...
-It's unintentional. -Is she trying to be polite?
-Vivi doesn't know how Ryo feels. -Right. He hasn't said anything.
There could be a very slim chance that he is into Hana,
but Vivi left out the "very slim" part.
-Hana seems to have a good attitude. -She does.
-She's enduring. -She's in a rough spot.
She's up against an onslaught of hurtful events.
If I were Hana, I'd feel like a KO was imminent.
But according to the playroom chat from the last segment,
she's going to focus on doing the right thing for her own feelings.
Also, it would feel gross
if Vivi felt bad and held back from saying anything related to Ryo.
-Hana wouldn't like that either. -That's true.
I guess things are better this way.
It's been a while since we've seen passion blossoming
-like it is between Ryo and Vivi. -Things are heating up.
I look forward to seeing what awaits us.
I assume they'll be dating soon.
-I think so, too. -Maybe.
-Those two look great on camera, too. -Agreed.
I want to see more of them.
-I want a make-out scene. -Me, too.
Let's have it!
I assume Vivi would initiate that. Once she loses patience.
-I hope so. -I can't wait to see it.
But with Tupas...
-things are getting interesting. -Tupas...
We haven't had a character like him before...
-He's a first. -...in the history of Terrace House.
-Tupas is awkward around love. -He is.
He's awkward and very reserved.
-But I still don't understand who he is. -Me, neither.
I feel like he's hiding something.
This drunken episode hinted at some deep internal turmoil.
This clue will be important moving forward.
-I think you're right. -I wonder what it is.
Alcohol consumption could be his Achilles' heel.
I sense there will be trouble with drinking, too.
They should be careful not to encourage his drinking.
No, they should drown him in alcohol.
-That'd be more interesting. -Of course.
-Oh, yes. -Let's send him more Honeyberry Sours.
-Send him a whole case. -That's right.
-Hello. -Hi.
You're tackling some chores?
-Thank you. -Don't mention it.
Can I help?
-What are you working on? -Can you help?
Could you gather all the trash?
-Can you pick up the trash? -Sure.
Also, the fridge is looking stuffed.
-Yeah, we buy so many things individually. -Right?
Remember how you mentioned the other day...
that movie you wanted to see?
-Yeah, it's called Yesterday. -That's the one.
When are you free?
-I have a lot of free time. -You do?
I do.
I wanted to tell you yesterday.
I bought yogurt.
Thank you. But why?
You said you weren't feeling well.
Thank you.
-I heard it's good for hangovers. -Yogurt helps?
Apparently. That's what Google says.
-Please have some. -Thank you.
-What defines a date? -Hmm...
I think, if I'm not genuinely interested in a person,
I wouldn't feel like hanging out with them
and I wouldn't be motivated to invite them out.
-I get that. -Yeah.
I know that I'm very interested in you.
-I'm not sure what to say to that. -I wouldn't know either.
You've been inviting me out,
so I was wondering if you were interested in me.
I definitely think I'm interested.
Not "think." I know I am.
So, I'd love to enjoy more dinners together...
and hang out with you more.
That's how I feel.
I'm too in my head. I'm making myself nervous.
It's not often that I'm told things like that.
I feel bashful.
I'd love to hang out more with you, too.
I didn't think you'd do it.
Why wouldn't I?
Let's pin these somewhere.
-I like it. -Huh?
-It came out great. -Think so?
When should we see the movie?
When are you free?
I can go whenever, really.
How about Thursday?
Thursday? I have plans in the evening, but I'm free before then.
I was hoping we could have dinner after seeing the movie,
but you have plans...
I can change my other plans, then.
-No, you shouldn't do that. -It's no problem. It'd be easy.
If it's Thursday the seventh, I can move things around.
-The seventh it is. -It's a date?
-I'd love that. -It's in my calendar.
I look forward to it.
