Original subtitles

I... I think that's what I meant.

I like Kon-chan.

Just kidding! I was messing with you.

I'll head out first, then.

Hey! Hayakawa.

Was what you said back then really a lie?

What happened back then...

If it wasn't a lie, would you seriously consider it?

You go ahead and sleep! I'm going to take a shower.

Hayakawa.

It's really great to see you again.

I originally planned to keep my feelings for Kon-chan sealed away in my heart.

Don't look back...

"Depth of Field"

(Episode 6)

Were you just testing it out earlier?

Yeah, that's right.

What are you doing?

There was a bit of a mistake just now.

- I've been giving it my all in practice. - Alright, alright!

Hayakawa, don't overdo it with the practice.

Hey! Take a break for a bit.

(Konno: Want to grab something to eat?)

(Hayakawa: Sure.)

(Konno: My friend wants to meet you.)

Friend...

I really am such an idiot.

Still holding on to a bit of hope.

You haven't changed at all since high school.

Sorry for asking you out all of a sudden.

Not at all...

You two are...?

We were college classmates.

Since our student ID numbers were close, we naturally got to know each other.

Yeah, that may be true, but Konno is the kind of person who really takes photography seriously.

So I just wanted to get to know him.

- That's the first time I've heard you say that. - And... it feels like he's really well-connected?

- I don't have any connections. - Sure you do.

Introduce your father to me!

Introduce you to my dad? Are you planning to fly to New York?

Hey! Wanna go check it out?

No way! You should just take me with you!

Because New York has Broadway and the Statue of Liberty.

It's basically one of the hottest spots for photos!

- Have you been there? - Yeah, I have.

I want to go too!

If you take photos there, I bet you could attract some models, right?

Ah! Speaking of models. Hayakawa, could you take a look at this for me?

This is the one.

This... is this Miss Nan's work?

That's right.

That's impressive.

That's amazing.

Actually, I really like it.

Hey! I'm so happy!

Actually, I invited you out today because I wanted you to be my model, Hayakawa.

Model?

Yes! It fits my image perfectly!

And I keep having the urge to shoot Hayakawa again.

You get it, right?

The urge...

Sometimes you just have that feeling.

By the way, which one's your favorite?

- I really like this one. - Right? It's great, isn't it?

How did you shoot this?

Looks like it's in a puddle, doesn't it?

This is the one. I used the puddle to take this shot.

See, there's a reflection. That way, it's handled really cleanly.

- Sorry about that. - Yeah, yeah, that's it.

- Sorry about that. - Coming right up.

- Give me a stronger highball. - Sure.

You can take your time thinking about what happened earlier, no rush.

You can really take it easy. No need to feel any pressure.

I'm counting on you.

- Which round is this? - The second round.

Is Konno always like that when he's drunk?

If he drinks too much, he definitely does!

He smiles about eighty percent more than usual, and he often forgets things.

Konno, time to go home.

Your place is right here, so if you miss the last train, it actually works out pretty well!

It's actually a bit of a hassle for me when you come by so often, you know.

Here, have a drink.

Sorry... I drank too much.

Oh no... I'm so sleepy.

Aren't you going to take a shower?

Still the same, huh.

Kon-chan...

Sorry.

- Hey! Konno. - Don't call me that.

Just hearing that makes me mad.

Huh, with a girl? Konno?

Well, how should I put this... I just kind of went along with it after getting drunk...

Hmm... I've never seen it myself! Haven't even heard about it.

By the way, what's the relationship between Miss Nan and Konno?

Huh, us? No, no, that's not possible.

I see.

Once again... you're thinking "maybe," aren't you?

Honestly, this probably isn't the best time for him to be in a relationship, right?

What do you mean?

See, he's about to leave Japan soon, isn't he?

- What? - Huh? You haven't heard yet?

He was planning to take a break from school for a while to help out because his dad is overseas.

Didn't we say yesterday that it was in New York?

So I don't think he's planning on dating anyone right now.

I see.

Sorry, I thought Konno had already told you.

After all, it's been three years since we last saw each other.

Alright then, talk to you later. Goodbye.

So warm.

Absolutely stunning today.

- Hold on, hold on. - What's up?

- Hey! Isn't that awesome? - It really is!

Hayakawa.

- Sorry. - Oh no.

- What's up? - Look.

This Sunday, someone from Nouvelle Records wants to meet and have a chat!

I heard they came to see our performance last time.

- Uh, that! - That!

- Huh? - That's awesome!

How about we pick a place and have a strategy meeting?

Coming, coming, coming!

- Hayakawa! Hurry up, hurry up! - Coming! Coming!

(I want to return your key.)

Sorry about the keys. I heard you're heading to New York.

You can head home early today.

By the way, is it really necessary to work this late?

At the very least, let me help clean up a bit before I go.

Alright, I'll leave it to you then.

Good job.

Good job.

What's up, are you two a couple?

No.

So... is it someone you want to be in a relationship with?

Just friends.

There was a bit of a pause just now.

You don't have to hide it, it's okay.

I've been through that myself before.

Is this... the kind of liking that comes from friendship? Or is it something more...?

I used to think we were just friends.

Even though he's a bit clumsy.

But I like the way he gives it his all.

I just want to be there by his side, watching him.

But we were apart for too long...

What got everyone started with music in the first place?

I was influenced by my older brother.

Hayakawa comes from a family of musicians.

I see.

So have you been living with music ever since you were a kid?

I also had a period when I stepped away from music.

I made up my mind never to touch it again.

So you had a time like that too?

Why do you want to start over again?

That's...

Someone once told me to be honest with my own feelings.

He told me, you can make choices for yourself.

Yeah! It's really lucky to meet someone like that.

Yes.

Hayakawa, isn't it thanks to that person that you're able to live so honestly now?

Being honest with myself...

- Thank you all for coming today. - Thank you for giving us this opportunity.

Ah! I'm so nervous.

I feel pretty good.

Right, Hayakawa!

- Hayakawa? - Ah! Sorry.

I'm heading out first.

- Huh? - Huh?

Miss Nan, is Konno with you right now?

I have something I want to say to him.

Konno has already left for New York.

Why...

So cold.

(Strawberry milk)

Why are you already drinking? We haven't even toasted yet!

Cheers!

Sorry.

I'm going to start eating.

I heard you're heading to New York.

I heard it from Miss Nan.

I... was planning to tell you when I returned the keys.

Sorry, I'm the one who didn't reply to your messages.

Actually, weren't you supposed to leave today?

Yeah.

But...

it's been changed to tomorrow night.

Because I want to talk with you.

I want to talk with you too.

Thank you for everything back in high school.

That's why I'm still making music now.

Thank you.

That's what I should've told you first when we met again.

In the end, it still feels like I'm avoiding you.

Sorry.

Don't apologize.

That was the result of your own hard work.

By the way,

I never expected you to act like that when you're drunk.

You probably wouldn't remember anyway after drinking that much.

I remember.

But Miss Nan said you get amnesia when you're drunk.

I remember.

Kon-chan, you...

Do you kiss anyone when you're drunk?

I don't kiss just anyone.

I only did it because it was you.

Alright!

Let me confess my feelings again, to make up for what happened three years ago.

Alright!

Kon-chan.

I like Kon-chan in that same way.

This time... I'm not lying.

Even last time... I wasn't lying, either.

Me too...

I like you in the same way.

I always thought... I had to keep it hidden.

No more lying from now on, okay?

Yeah.

Alright.

What's up?

Hot pot, can we pause for a moment?

Huh?

I want three years' worth of kisses.

And for all the kisses we won't get to share in the days ahead, too.

I really miss this.

I've heard this song here before, too.

Yeah.

Uh... this...

This song was inspired by Kon-chan.

Don't call me gross.

- Ugh~ That's so gross! So gross! - Are you even listening to me?

Hey, want to go grab something to eat?

Not bad.

What do you want to eat?

Meat.

Not bad!

I want to have ginger pork.

Kon-chan, you're treating us, right?

Alright.
