Original subtitles

Really, I'm just a regular guy you find anywhere.

If we were to date, I want to wait until we know each other better.

I'm happy you've really put some thought into this.

You look exactly like someone I know.

Being so happy-go-lucky, I bet that's what she likes.

- You have a crush. - What?

So, what's your name?

Got it, Koichi!

Hikaru. I love you.

Mr. Kurotaki.

Table three is ready for the check.

I've talked to Mr. Kurotaki on the phone every day since!

I mean, the other day he fell asleep while we were mid-conversation!

So I listened to him sleep.

You're already acting like a couple.

Just make it official already.

Really?

But I'm okay keeping things like this for a little longer.

We've been too busy to get together.

Why put it off?

If I'm going to ask him out again,

I want to learn more about him first, too.

And I want him to know more about me as well.

Seems like you two already have a bond.

Speak of the devil.

He has a favor to ask?

Sorry! I hogged the conversation again.

What's going on with you?

I'm focusing my time on job hunting.

I'm busy putting together a show to help my job hunt.

Right, trade school students graduate after two years.

Which is why I can't just hang out with you all the time.

- Done. - Yeah?

You're a lifesaver.

I panicked this morning when I heard the hair and makeup person fell through.

Then I remembered you're in beauty school.

You're fine with just some student?

Huh? Of course!

The owner was happy, too.

Plus, you did a great job.

So breezy.

Sir!

Koichi here is looking for a job.

Could you introduce him to some people?

Of course.

I'd be happy to help, if I can.

- Thank you. - Thanks, sir!

Great.

You've got crazy people skills.

Anyway, how are things going with you?

What do you mean?

With your crush!

Forget about me.

- Well, with me-- - I didn't ask.

I mean, it's going well.

Like I care.

She'll actually be here soon, so you can meet her.

What? Why?

I asked her to help out.

She's here.

Okay.

Crap!

Haruka!

You look a little different from usual.

It's the clothes and Koichi's skills.

Koichi?

I'll introduce you.

Huh?

Koichi?

Where'd he go?

I can't get caught.

Your friend?

Things were chaotic this morning,

and he helped do my hair and makeup.

I wanted you to meet.

Really? I wonder where he went.

For real.

The bathroom?

What's he like?

He talks all mean, but he's actually a good guy.

Sorry, I got a sudden stomach ache.

My job's done so I'm heading home.

I guess he got a stomach ache.

- I wonder if he's okay. - Oh, no! One second.

I have some stomach medicine.

It works well, so I'll give him some.

Okay, the bathroom's that way.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

He'll want a hot drink.

Okay, now's my chance!

What's his name again?

Koichi.

That's right!

My bag!

He wasn't there.

Hikaru?

What are you doing here?

No, this is Koichi.

What are you talking about?

I wouldn't mistake Hikaru.

What are you doing, Hikaru?

You mean, that Hikaru?

Well, yeah.

What now?

So you're a cross-dresser?

Yeah.

What?

You bunked with Haruka?

- No! - What's this about?

Yes, I was with Hikaru, but we didn't do anything!

I figured that, but.

Sorry, but this is a hard pass.

Wait, Mr. Kurotaki!

So you're a cross-dresser?

Yeah.

Wow, makeup's amazing.

Why did you tell me your name was Koichi?

I was messing with you.

I thought Haruka fell for some shady playboy.

Call it a background check, I guess.

You pass.

- Hikaru's-- - Mr. Kurotaki!

Standby, please.

Okay.

Well.

I'll be right back.

I'm ready.

I don't think Hikaru was messing with you.

I think he lied for my sake.

Yeah?

One time he was worried I'd be judged

for hanging around a guy who cross-dresses.

I'm really sorry.

You don't need to apologize.

I see.

But

how'd you become friends when you're so different?

Hikaru cast a spell on me.

It's so amazing.

It was a spell that gave me confidence and courage.

Really?

When I'm with Hikaru,

I can love myself.

Mr. Kurotaki?

Sorry.

Thanks for helping out today.

My pleasure!

Thank you for walking me this way.

Later then.

Later!

Is Koichi's crush…

Use moisturizing serum to hydrate the skin.

Put it in your hand

and warm it up to body temperature.

Then cover your cheeks with your hands.

Hikaru mentioned he was job hunting, right?

- Maybe I'll pick this. - That's a good one.

What about that color?

"I can't rely on Hikaru forever, but I don't know which looks good."

- Am I right? - Why are you here?

Shu told me he saw you frozen in the cosmetics section.

Why didn't you ask me?

It's not like that. Um…

Which one would you buy for yourself?

What?

Idiot.

We don't have the same skin tone, so our colors are different.

But this one would work for us.

I didn't come to pick one for myself!

The thing is, I wanted to buy you a present.

Huh? Why?

Because I want to wish you good luck on job hunting.

To thank you for all your help, and to support you.

Honestly.

You're hardly ready to pick yourself.

Plus, you're an idiot.

I wouldn't go to an interview in drag.

But I appreciate the thought.

Seriously, I know money's tight.

Thank you.

Don't worry! I just got paid!

It's fine.

No!

- It's fine. - No!

- I'm buying you something, so pick! - It's fine.

- How come? - Are you even listening to me? Fine!

- Please! - Excuse me.

Can I get help?

Let me buy it!

Could I get two of this one?

- Sure. - I can't afford two.

I got a matching one with Hikaru!

Cut that out, it's embarrassing.

Come on! Let me be happy.

Giving each other presents.

I'll never forget this.

Yeah.

Okay, now I'll work hard on my makeup,

and ask Mr. Kurotaki out on a date.

By the way, he wasn't mad at all.

He complimented how good your makeup was.

Do you want to put this lipstick on together?

What?

- Come on! - You're kidding.

Honestly.

How will you do that without a mirror?

Um.

- Then-- - Give it to me.

Here.

Does it look good?

Who do you think picked it?

Of course.

Here.

Thanks.

Now then.

So pretty!

Obviously.

Of course.

When I put this on,

it feels like you're with me.

Like a good luck charm.

You're going to wear this and kiss him?

We're a long way from kissing still!

What are you even talking about?

I should go home, yeah!

What?

I'm going home.

I'm so embarrassed.

You can go on ahead.

Okay.

Want to go out the next day that we're both off from work?

You have a crush.

What? Like hell I do!

Actually, yeah, I do.

Hello?

Sorry, you think we can meet now?

Hikaru!

Haruka, that outfit.

I picked it out from an affordable shop you introduced to me.

What do you think?

You did your hair and makeup too?

Yeah.

So,

I'm going to go tell Mr. Kurotaki how I feel.

I wanted to let you know before I did.

Six out of ten.

Too much eye shadow.

Too much brow.

You're going like that?

I worked pretty hard on this.

This is your last one.

Princess.

I keep relying on you to help me.

You noticed?

Don't worry about it.

The reason I lied was so I could keep hanging with you after you started dating,

and keep up the image that I'm a girlfriend.

It was for myself.

That's what you were worried about?

Whether I start dating Mr. Kurotaki or not,

I'll always be with you.

- Hello? - Sorry, you think we can meet now?

What do you want?

Koichi, is your crush on Haruka?

There's no Koichi.

I'm really sorry.

Look, don't apologize for that!

- That's what pisses-- - My bad.

I'm probably gonna piss you off even more.

So I apologize.

Such confidence.

Haruka told me how important of a friend you are.

You'd better cherish her.

I'll kill you if you hurt her.

There, all done.

Thank you.

You're the one Haruka wants.

Not me.

So get it together.

We're friends.

Mr. Kurotaki.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Not at all.

Um.

The reason I asked to meet you today

was to tell you something.

Me, too.

I have something to say.

Would you like to date me, Haruka?

This is being a girlfriend!

I like Haruka.

Do you actually like her?

Keisuke?

Mio?

She's my ex.

Do you want to come over?

I'm sorry.

Don't worry, you have Hikaru with you.
