Thanks for coming.

I'm glad.

It's true. I'm touched.

So... why...?

I want to be with you, but...

Nagao turned me down.

Use this, it's clean.

I've never done this before.

Don't cry. He likes you.

He just misunderstands...

He thinks there's something between us.

I will talk to him about it.

So stop crying.

How can you say that?

You act like you're not involved.

Don't be so kind to me.

Don't be kind to me now!

Good morning.

Kanchi!

Kanchiii!

Morning.

What's wrong, you didn't sleep well?

No.

I'm sorry about last night.

Don't worry about it.

But...

Don't worry. I'm not depressed anymore.

Is that right?

Take me out next time.

I'll return the favor ten times to you.

I can't eat ten people's worth of food.

I'm glad.

I was afraid that you were still upset

and that you were going to hit me.

Shall I hit you?

If hitting and kicking you would make me feel better,

I would have done it by now.

I may have been better off sick.

Would you have visited me at home?

I'm joking! Bye.

Oh no...

Idiot.

We'll prepare everything by 12:00 and ready to go by 3:00.

You can do it right? Thanks.

Some people get three days off, so why does our

company make us work on Saturdays?

Don't get angry at me about it.

Are you in a bad mood today?

Not really.

Hello.

One moment, please.

Nagao, there is a call for you.

It's from Ms. Sekiguchi.

Rika, who's coming from sales?

Kanchi is. He'll be here at around one.

Is there something going on between you and Nagao?

Let's not talk about it.

Did something happen?

Nothing, nothing, nothing happened.

I see, so that's what Kanchi said.

After that, I haven't been able to concentrate

on anything at all.

Maybe there is somebody else that he likes.

That's impossible.

He only has you in his heart.

Satomi...

did you want to go out with him seriously?

Do you like him?

I wanted to be with him.

Do you like him?

I want to be with him when I'm happy and when I'm sad.

Do you like him?

Doesn't that mean I like him?

To like is to like.

Kanchi is coming here soon.

If you don't want to see him, you should go now.

I've arranged to meet him here.

I spoke to him on the phone.

That girl.

There he is.

Don't make girls wait three minutes. Late charge fee.

I'm not a pizza deliverer.

Don't you have to be at the showplace?

How about you?

It's my lunch break.

Why are you two together?

I was discussing something with her.

Discussing?

I guess I'll leave you two alone now.

You two look good together.

I may have been acting spoiled.

You may have misunderstood my hesitation...

Let's forget about that.

Let's just stay the way we were. Old friends.

You're the one who first said that

you wanted to be more than just friends.

I wasn't the first.

It was Mikami.

I saw you two kissing that night.

He told me that you had cried then.

He said that you must have really disliked him.

I thought so at first.

You're right...

But the reason you cried was because

you really like Mikami, right?

You're wrong, Nagao-kun.

It was the same tear you showed me two nights ago.

Rika.

We're going to take a break.

I'll see you.

Nagao.

May I ask you one thing?

You already have.

Since when did you have special feelings for me?

Since we first met...

I'm sorry.

Sekiguchi.

Hello. Sekiguchi speaking.

Hello, this is Mikami.

Yes?

This is Kenichi's mother.

Do you remember me?

I'm in Tokyo right now, and I wanted to ask a favor.

Do you have some time?

You work so hard.

I always work hard.

Stop bothering me and go away.

She dumped you.

She didn't dump me!

Then, did you dump her?

That's not the issue.

Why don't you cry while I'm here?

It will just get harder when you're alone.

I wouldn't cry in front of you even if you peeled onions.

You can discuss things with me.

I'd rather discuss things with a Ouija board.

What? And here I am just trying to make you feel better.

Is that right?

Hey, Kanchi.

Heyyy.

He's working, he's working.

Kanchi Nagao is working to forget his pain.

Work! Work Hard!

Turn your sadness into energy and...

WORK!!!

Oh, is he burned out? Nagao has stopped moving.

Is it the thought of Satomi that

races through his mind?

Leave me alone.

Kanchi.

Be strong!

Cheer up!

Don't be like that.

I think I was spoiled...

Since when did you have special feelings for me?

Sekiguchi!

You didn't answer the phone.

I unplugged it.

If I don't turn this report in by Monday,

I'm going to fail my course.

I stayed up all night.

I'm surprised that you came over.

Don't get me wrong. Your mom asked me to.

Your father had a heart attack.

Do you want coffee?

She wants you to come home.

She was worried.

Why don't you call home?

It's the usual story.

Are you leaving?

I gave you the message.

Wait.

Let me go!

That's not why I came.

- Why did you? - Let me go.

There are other girls you play around with.

Is that why you don't like me?

You don't get closer nor do you go away.

You have no right to say that to me.

You always just leave.

Go home.

There are many others to replace you.

Get out.

Get out!!!

It's me. Were you asleep?

Yes, I was.

Are you okay?

Only you and 24-hour stores are fine at this hour.

You're wrong. I'm not fine either.

Why is that?

Because you're not.

Do you regret saying what you did to Satomi?

I'd be lying if I said no.

I'm the one who declined after she decided to go out with me.

That's one of your good points, Kanchi.

You were thinking about what's best for her.

I'm not that admirable, I was just dumped.

The main objective of romance is to participate,

even if you fail at it.

That loving feeling you have

remains in your heart forever.

That gives you the courage to live.

It will brighten things up.

Don't console me too much.

Cheer up. I'll cheer up, too.

Right.

Satomi and Mikami will be okay, right?

Even Mikami, won't be playing around forever.

He'll only think of Sekiguchi when the time comes.

I guess from now on, I have to root for them.

I'm sure it will work out.

Thanks to you I was able to pass the course.

That's nice.

As thanks, I'll take you somewhere.

Stop it.

People are watching.

So?

You're like a malignant tumor.

Aren't you embarrassed?

I'm not a well-mannered person like you.

I'll be waiting at that bar at six o'clock, bye.

Let's go.

Nagao, we're having a meeting.

Where?

Conference Room A. Where?

Let's go, let's go!

Ah, yes! Let's go, let's go!

Don't sit at my desk.

Is your broken heart mended already?

I thought you were decent, but I was wrong.

You're free tonight, right?

Did I say I was?

Remember you were going to return a favor to me?

Things are kind of hectic now, so...

Yes or no?

Yes, yes.

One yes is enough.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

You're not cute at all.

Well, I don't want you to think I'm cute.

Oh, you're so cute, so cute.

Yes.

I lose track of time when you're around.

Is that true?

Huh?

What you just said.

Did I say something?

Do you want to travel somewhere together?

Really?

Let's go and sever our relationship.

Huh?

He's with another girl.

Kanchi.

Hi, Nagao.

What are you up to?

What? What are you up to?

What are you so serious about?

Let's move over there.

Let's go over there, okay?

What's this about?

He can't leave things alone.

Normally, you wouldn't care about girls who've dumped you.

Are you his girlfriend?

I...

Yes.

You're quite a guy.

You made Sekiguchi cry.

She said that you turned her down.

She really likes you.

I know.

Then why don't you think about her?

I do. Then why don't you think about her?

But she keeps running away from me.

That's because you keep fooling around.

Is it okay?

Is it okay if I stop playing around and

concentrate only on Sekiguchi?

It's not my business.

Don't be so proud.

If you want to take it back, now is the chance.

I see.

Next time we meet, things will be different from the past.

Kanchi, let's sing a duet.

No thanks.

Let's release some termites at Mikami's apartment.

Kanchi, wait!

I have to go this way.

You promised to take me to ten places.

Next time, bye.

Stop me!

Where did you get that?

It was thrown away.

Why don't you come over?

Come on in.

I'll go home.

Why?

We were drinking, so I just wanted to make sure

you get home safely.

Kanchi, are you...?

What?

Don't worry, I'll yell if you attack me.

Or should I keep a gun in my pocket?

I guess I'll stay.

Come in.

Sit anywhere.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I was almost finished.

Now you can enjoy it again.

I'm not going to let you leave until you finish it.

Are you feeling guilty? I hope you're not having fun.

Who would have fun with a puzzle this late at night?

You're good.

I'm good at these things.

Are you hungry? I'll cook something for you.

You know how to cook?

Of course.

You're cute. You get so serious about it.

Shall I stop then?

It's okay. Here.

That's wrong. It's over here.

No, that goes over here.

No, what are you doing?

I'm doing it so be quiet!

But this is my puzzle.

Is that so?

I can't stand it.

I can't stand breathing the same air that you are.

I'm going to hold my breath.

Go ahead.

I will.

You really were?

What?

Kanchi.

Yes?

You still like Satomi, don't you?

No.

Liar. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten angry.

You're not making any sense.

Because I'm jealous.

What?

You haven't given up.

Giving up is not the problem.

Then what is?

It's none of your business.

Okay, forget it then.

We're almost done.

We're missing the last piece.

Is it around there somewhere?

I can't find it.

One piece left...

Wow, I'm drinking coffee with you after staying up the whole night.

I can go home from here.

I wonder if we can catch a taxi.

There goes one.

Kanchi.

I'm not the only one.

Isn't that okay?

No.

I'd rather be number one rather than

just being the only one.

You're at the top of the list.

I don't like that.

Then stop. He's not right for you.

Don't decide for yourself.

Get in!

I think you should go home once.

I can't go back to that town.

You don't like it?

I hate the town where I was born.

After I left, my family adopted another son.

So, I have nowhere to return to.

Sekiguchi.

I want you to be by my side.

You can answer me anytime.

After all, I have waited five years.

I...

I always thought...

...the minute I say I like you, our past will disappear.

That's why...

That's how it should be.

Forget about the past.

Is it okay to?

Is it really okay for me to fall in love with you?

Believe in me.

I guess it's hard for you.

Does this make it fine?

You're the only one now.

I understand so...

What do you want to eat for lunch today?

Anything is fine.

Good morning!

I still can't find the last piece of the puzzle.

Come over again.

Next time, I'll cook you a real meal.

See you.

What is she talking about?

Did you go over to her place?

Well, sort of.

Did you do it?

Good morning.

I was scared.

I woke up and you weren't here.

Don't worry. I'm here.

Good.

I'd like a glass of water.

Just a minute.

Do you want another glass?

No.

Stay here.

I'm sorry.

I have to go to kindergarten.

I have to go.

I see.

I'm sorry.

Nagao, line seven.

Yes.

Hello, Nagao speaking.

It's me, Mikami.

I fulfilled my promise with you.

Promise?

Yeah.

Sekiguchi just went home.

You...

I slept with her.

Don't worry, I'll take good care of her.

Nagao! It's urgent. Akana and Watanabe are...

What are you doing?

If this was a cliff, I would shove you off.

What happened?

I don't know what happened, but you should apologize.

You're in the office right now.

I'm saying this for your benefit!

Go downstairs.

Yes, excuse me.

Sorry.

Nagao?

Yes? Nagao?

Have you eaten?

That was all Watanabe's fault.

What happened?

He didn't know that Akana was nearby.

And he was spreading bad rumors about her.

He said she sleeps with anybody indiscriminately.

But that's not what she was angry about.

She was mad because she had to defend you.

Defend me?

Watanabe called you stupid for sleeping with a girl like her.

Then she said that she doesn't care what people say about her,

but she can't forgive him for insulting you.

This...

It was in my pocket.

I see.

I'm sorry, I heard it was because of me.

It wasn't for you.

I did it for myself.

I can't blame it on others.

But you don't look to happy about it.

I'm not always happy and cheerful.

There are times when I get depressed.

There are nights when every song I hear sounds like a ballad.

Rika.

I don't know how to cheer people up like you do.

What am I supposed to say?

Say...

"I like you".

It doesn't have to be "love", "like" is okay too.

You don't have to mean it. It'll give me courage.

I love you.

How much?

About this much.

Is that all?

ABOUT THIS MUCH!!!

I love you.

Liar!

Hey.

Let's have sex.
