Original subtitles

(Previously...) Nice to meet you.

I'm Kurobe Harutora.

I'm Kishida Sui, a second-year.

Pleasure to meet you.

Sui is hitting on the underclassman.

You didn't know?

Because this guy is gay.

Wait, is Sui...

(Sorry.) Into guys?

Welcome back.

When I'm with Harutora,

I can smile so naturally.

Then, when it's just the two of us,

could you take off your mask?

What?

Do you not want to?

It's not that I don't want to...

Can't you?

It's not that I can't.

Please.

Senpai.

But it's so embarrassing.

I'm sorry.

It seems I really like

seeing you all flustered, Senpai.

It's my fault.

I just kissed you on impulse.

I'm going to take a shower.

What was that just now?

I couldn't sleep all night.

Good morning.

Oh, good morning, Senpai.

I'm heading out.

Ah...

Was it a dream?

Probably not...

And this too, while you're at it...

Senpai.

So, are you gonna play?

- We just have to go for it. - True that.

We need to get ready.

Senpai.

I've already finished cleaning.

He must have just gotten caught up in the moment.

And Harutora is acting completely normal.

It seems I really like seeing you all flustered, Senpai.

Senpai.

Have you already taken a shower?

Y-Yeah... Sorry.

No...

I'm the one who lucked out.

Ah... No, that came out wrong.

I meant to say, I'm glad you didn't get hurt, Senpai.

You scared me.

I thought you were like me.

What?

N-Nothing! It's nothing at all.

By the way, Senpai.

Aren't you going to the public bath?

It's just too awkward.

Plus, everyone knows I'm gay now.

So that's why...

Um... In that case,

can't we put a bathtub in the room?

Huh?

Like an open-air bath or something.

What?

Uh...

Or maybe a Goemon bath?

This is exactly what I like about Harutora.

You're really charming.

What?

Earnest,

gentle,

and occasionally a bit clueless.

"Hold on, Harutora-kun" (Episode 2)

Yeah!

Harutora, it's about time to take a break.

Okay.

Um, Senpai.

Aren't you tired from doing extra practice with me?

Not at all, I'm having fun.

Besides, if no one keeps an eye on you, you'll just push yourself too hard.

Ah, am I being too nosy?

Not at all, I'm really happy!

Um... Excuse me.

- Yes? - Could you call that guy over there for me?

Oh, sorry, I'll go get him.

Those two girls said they want to talk to you, Harutora.

Why?

I think they want to get to know you.

That's not what I'm asking.

What?

Harutora?

It hurts when you say things like that, Senpai.

It really hurts.

Um... If you don't mind, could we exchange contacts?

Sorry.

That might not be a good idea...

Huh?

What did he mean by that just now?

My poor heart...

I can't take it anymore.

Sui.

Dai-chan.

What's wrong? Why are you clutching your chest?

Nothing... Just had a sudden palpitation.

What are you, an old man?

By the way,

I saw you hugging that underclassman earlier.

Are you okay?

Hasn't this happened before?

Someone making you think they like you, but they're actually just messing with you.

Huh?

What, don't tell me you took it seriously?

Were you waiting for a kiss?

No way.

Who would ever fall for someone like me?

Harutora isn't like that.

He would never do something like that.

Ah... Sorry, you're right.

I know that's probably the case.

I just think you should be careful.

So you don't get the wrong idea.

Yeah, I know.

I just lost my balance, and he caught me.

I see.

That's good then.

Senpai, welcome back.

Sorry, did I wake you?

No, I was already awake.

You're back really late today.

I was just... studying a bit.

By the way, if you're free this Sunday,

do you want to go here?

It's a foot bath.

The scenery there is beautiful.

I figured if we go here, you wouldn't have to worry about other people, Senpai.

You can just relax.

You're already so busy with the club,

yet you went out of your way to find this for me...

I just think you should be careful.

So you don't get the wrong idea.

Sorry, never mind.

Ah... Did I get something wrong again?

No, it's just that we have exams next week.

Oh, so that's why you were studying.

Yeah.

Okay, I get it.

Good night.

(Bringing you melting warmth)

It's so pretty.

Is it not over yet?

[Harutora's name is in yellow]

That's amazing.

Sui, what are you doing?

Dai-chan.

You two have a committee meeting too?

What a pain.

And it's going on so late.

Ah...

Not really...

Hey.

Seriously?

I mean,

let's go over there.

There's no one around.

Come on.

I'll do it for you.

You don't look like you hate it.

Right?

Even if someone looks like they're smiling,

they might actually hate it.

Don't do something so disrespectful to Senpai.

I'm just kidding, just kidding.

Senpai, are you okay?

Thanks for bailing me out.

I'm really fine.

He was just messing around.

But, I think I just realized I actually kind of like it.

Being treated aggressively like that isn't so bad.

I see.

Harutora...

Stop it...

I'm not going to stop.

Isn't this what you wanted, Senpai?

No... Please stop.

Then you should have made it clear to that guy too!

If you don't like it, say so!

Senpai...

I'm sorry.

I like you...

I like...

I like you, Harutora.

So please don't do this to me anymore.

Everyone has

so many different feelings inside.

Here.

Pass.

Ah, sorry.

Sui, I'm beat. You're up.

Yeah.

Let's go.

Come on!

Here.

Nice!

Again.

Yes!

- Hold on. - Oh, crap.

Nice block!

- Get back on defense! - Got it!

Harutora...

Then you need to make it clear to him, too!

If you don't want to, just say so.

Sui.

Bring it.

- Looking good! - Push it!

Good.

Nice steal!

Yes!

Are you kidding me?!

Sui!

What am I even doing...?

Um... Harutora.

Senpai.

I'm sorry.

Huh?

I...

Even I...

couldn't figure out my own feelings for the longest time...

But I finally understand now.

I...

I like you, Senpai.

I really like you.

That's why I did what I did...

I'm sorry...

I ended up hurting you.

Really...?

Huh?

Will you really be my boyfriend?

Are you serious?

Of course I will.

Your heartbeat is so calming.

(Next Episode Preview) We can't keep going on like this.

Are you sure it's not?

I told you it's not.

It pisses me off when people mess with you, Senpai.

Because Harutora said he likes me.

No matter what happens,

(This drama is a work of fiction) I'll always be by your side, Senpai.
