Original subtitles

I'm long past the point where I dreamed that,

one day,

the prince on a white horse would come to me...

or that I would meet my soulmate.

But there's one thing I believe in.

And that is,

if I keep trying hard,

I will find my one and only life partner.

It's fun...

I will find him.

Will I find...him?

It won't likely to happen!

But...

I never thought it'd come to this.

Aiko-chan, Aiko-chan!

I heard the priest today is left-handed, please set everything accordingly.

He'll be here soon.

All right.

Did they also ask for more chairs?

He was popular, wasn't he? And handsome, too!

The funeral of your first love?

I haven't seen him in over ten years, though.

Seeing him again like this after so long is just too sad.

Is it okay to serve the same amount of tea as the bento?

- Yup. - Okay then.

I have to empty my mind.

Why is it?

Because the staff shouldn't be crying at a funeral.

That sure is tough.

Thought suppression.

Thought suppression.

Thought suppression.

Aiko-san?

Thought suppression.

Thought suppression. Thought suppression.

Thought suppression.

Kuon-san?

- Yes, sir? - Come with me.

Okay.

I feel sorry for that little guy.

A sudden accident left him all alone.

What about his mom?

I heard she's not around anymore.

I see...

Take care of him, will you?

All right.

Karibe Ren-kun?

Yes.

Hello, I'm Kuon Aiko, the staff here.

If you have any problems, please feel free to ask me anything.

Thank you.

What's with your outfit?

Seiichiro-san, change into your mourning clothes.

It's your brother's funeral.

Can we borrow mourning clothes?

Actually, you should host the funeral.

Who?

He's my uncle.

Senpai's big brother?

I just came to see him.

Hey, Seiichiro-kun, you can't be like this!

Seiichiro-san!

Will that freak be able to raise Ren-kun, though?

But he seems have a lot of money.

Huh?

Have you registered yet?

It's still too early, so if you don't mind...

Where did he go?

Ren-kun!

Your father used to look up at the sky like that.

Did you know my father?

Yes.

He was my senior in high school, so...

Were you his girlfriend?

We went out after I confessed to him so many times.

Confessed to him so many times?

Even if he kept rejecting me, whenever I heard he broke up with his girlfriend,

I'd confess again.

And finally after my fifth try...

Jun-senpai!

Please go out with me!

Are you sure?

Yes. Let's date.

It didn't last long, but he was my first love.

Did you break up because my dad cheated on you?

Well...

He used to tell me...

that those too-many-attractive women were to blame.

Sounds like him.

But I couldn't hate him.

Every time I saw his face crinkle up when he smiled,

I couldn't help but smile, too.

But I can no longer see...

Um...

Please use this if you'd like.

Fall in love.

Would you like to fall madly in love?

What?

What's your reply?

Hey!

Please stop!

Aw!

Hey, Kuon-san!

What's going on here?

Is he dead?

Are you okay?

What's happening?

I'm sorry.

Don't touch me.

FIND A JOB ON THE "JOB HUNTING NET".

NO RESULTS. THERE ARE NO JOB VACANCIES FOR YOU.

It's so tough~

Thanks for waiting.

Here you go.

This much for 100 yen? Are you sure?

You can have it anytime.

Thank you. This is such a huge help.

I'm unemployed now, you see.

But you got fired because of that weird guy, right?

Yes, but I also injured him, so it can't be helped.

However, that Onigawara really pissed me off!

Onigawara?

He is a big, burly man who looks like an Onigawara.

Why don't you just forget about finding a job and get married instead?

I don't have the partner.

Creepy.

Right. He looks like that.

That's creepy.

The end of the month, huh?

It costs a lot of money just to be alive, doesn't it?

You're Kuon Aiko-san, right?

Yes.

My name is Kogo, from Danoh Publishing.

EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT. KOGO TATSUYA.

How can I help you?

I'd like to offer you a job.

A job?

- For me? - Yes. For you.

This is Kogo.

Let's go in. Your client is waiting for you.

What kind of job is it?

I'll explain it to you later.

Here's your client, Karibe Seiichiro-kun.

Is it perhaps a sexual-related job?

Karibe-kun is only interested in beautiful well-proportioned women with well-balanced faces.

So, you, with your unhappy face resembling a capybara,

are out of his league.

An unhappy face resembling a capybara?

Anyway, you did hit on me back then, didn't you?

Huh? Hang on.

There's no way Karibe-kun would hit on you.

But he asked me to fall in love.

That was a job offer.

Huh?

Please don't tell anyone about this.

Karibe-kun is a mangaka.

And he's the one who made the "Ginga Tenshi" (Galaxy Angel).

"Ginga Tenshi"?

SUBTITLES BY @EVEYCHOOEY.

"Ginga Tenshi"?

How could you not know that?

"Ginga Tenshi" a.k.a "Ginten" has been serialized for 11 years and is considered...

a monumental work in girls' manga!

I'm sorry, I'm not really into girls' manga.

Wait... you really don't know anything about it?

No.

Is... is that so?

Since you don't seem to know anything about it, let me explain it to you.

"Ginga Tenshi" is an epic science fiction love story about a heroine who is an ordinary town girl in the Edo period,

who's traveled through time and fell in love in the past, the future, the world, and outer space!

It has sold over 80 million copies in total.

It has a large number of enthusiastic fans.

Its popularity has spread all over the world.

In short, Karibe-kun is a genius mangaka.

I see

And the mighty Karibe-kun is offering you a romance-related job.

You're such a lucky girl.

What kind of job is it exactly?

You'll have to experience romance in a setting that Karibe-kun has decided,

and tell us about the process.

To use as a reference for the manga.

Does he always do this?

No! This is the first time!

He's decided to set his next story in Tokyo in the Reiwa era,

but the setting is too ordinary that it's hard for the genius Karibe-kun...

to get a good idea of what it's like.

So, without further ado, here's the first mission...

I'm not doing it.

Huh? Look, it's the "Ginga Tenshi", okay?

I don't think it's right for a human being to get paid for falling in love.

But you're in need of money, aren't you?

Well, that's a different matter.

Well... you can take the night to think it over.

I won't change my mind.

Excuse me!

What? Wa... wait...

Wa... wait... wait!

Please wait!

Aiko-san!

Ren-kun?

Hello.

I see. You're going to live here, aren't you?

Yes.

Are you sure? Will you be able to live with someone like him?

I'm fine as long as I don't be a burden...

Aiko-san!

Good luck!

Wait, Aiko-san!

Are you perhaps Ren-kun?

Yes.

I still need to talk to you... Aiko-san! Wait!

Aiko-san!

Thank you for letting me stay here.

We've already prepared a room for you.

If you need anything, just ask me or the housekeeping lady.

Thank you.

- Ren. - Yes.

This is my home and my workplace.

If you interfere with my work, I'll ask you to leave.

I got it.

Isn't it great to fall in love and get paid for it?

You think so?

If it's a pseudo-romance, you don't have to sell your body and mind, right?

That's true, but love is love.

Sounds nice. I'd like to replace you to do it.

No matter who the partner is?

I guess I can.

Even me?

Aiko-san, are you, by any chance, hitting on me?

Not at all.

Oh...

You're so frivolous.

If it were 10 years ago,

I would've just gone along with something like this,

as I was so eager to do all kinds of things.

But as I became more and more aware of the reality that no matter how hard I tried,

I wouldn't always get the results I wanted,

It stings...

I've become completely weak,

even when I try to move forward.

Aw! It's hot!

Aw! It's hot!

I'm tired of getting my hopes up and being disappointed.

And on the other hand, not having to deal with people's expectations...

is both easy and lonely.

I'll be thirty soon,

and this is such a depressing reality.

Geez!

So annoying...

Who the heck is it?

Good morning!

I want to ask for your reply about yesterday.

I said no...

People's feelings change easily, you know!

Mine will not change!

Then can you tell him in person?

Karibe-kun thought you'd accept it.

No! Why would I go there?

Don't say that. Hold on...

Ouch!

I finally caved in...

This is Kogo.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF.

Go ahead without me.

Just go inside. Hurry.

Hello!

Yes.

No, everything is okay.

Yes, the Reiwa work...

You see, I'm here to formally decline your offer.

After all, I don't want to fall in love with someone I don't like...

for the sake of just a manga.

Just a manga?

What?

Are you looking down on manga?

I'm not!

Manga can move the reader's emotions.

They make you laugh, cry, angry, and sometimes even hurt you.

That's why I create them with the determination to take responsibility forโ€‹ the readers' lives!

I don't want to be denied by ignorant people like you.

I have no intention...

If you want to complain, say it when we're on an equal footing!

Huh?

Ren, it applies to you, too.

Memories are useful for drawing.

That's why I'm taking care of him.

It's a give-and-take.

Interpersonal relationships are supposed to be about equality.

So if you want to stay here forever,

you'll have to be equal to me.

Okay.

You don't have to talk to a child like that.

It doesn't matter who you're talking to.

"Equal".

"There is no superiority or inferiority between the two parties."

Both sides must be on par?

If you feel sorry for Ren, then take my job offer.

If your reason for doing it is for his sake,

then both you and him will be of use to me.

In other words, we're equals.

I don't really get it.

This is why you're just an ordinary person.

In the first place, I can't do that romance stuff.

Why not?

That's because...

I'm not capable of doing proper romance.

What do you mean by that?

Tell me.

Well...

There's always something wrong with the guy I fall in love with.

Like what?

The first person I went out with...

was my first love and I liked his looks and personality very much.

But he was a womanizer to the extreme.

AIKO, I DO LOVE YOU...

BUT I LOVE HER MORE.

THERE ARE TOO MANY PRETTY GIRLS.

SORRY

My next boyfriend was a perfectionist and also very possessive.

And he'd get out of control when he was angry.

WHY WON'T YOU LISTEN TO ME?!

WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER MY CALL?

YOU WERE LAUGHING WITH ANOTHER MAN EARLIER, RIGHT?

The guy I dated after that was extremely kind...

but he was a loafer who didn't work at all.

And to top it all off, he took all my money and ran away with it.

I'M OUT OF MONEY.

I'LL PAY YOU BACK!

THERE'S NO SUITABLE JOB FOR ME.

ONLY BEEN PLAYING GAMES.

My friends call me "A bad-guy magnet".

I don't know if it's because I'm a sucker for bad guys,

or it's because...

they were dating me that they turned into bad guys.

So I can't have a love life to refer to in a manga...

I see, the heroine of "Ginten" also...

always fell in love with a guy who had some kind of problem in every era.

So, she's a bad-guy magnet.

It fits.

The new chapter of "Ginten" is in the Reiwa era.

The heroine, Misuzu, is in love with a prince in ancient Egypt,

but she travels to the future...

and finds herself in the Japan of Reiwa.

"GINGA TENSHI". NEW CHAPTER. IN MODERN JAPAN.

"Karibe Maria."

That's a woman's name, isn't it?

The readers wouldn't think that a man who looks like an Onigawara is the artist, would they?

Misuzu who has always loved bad guys in her life,

for the first time, she's falling for a decent guy!

And it's set in Japan's Reiwa era!

It's you indeed.

It has to be you.

The payment is one million yen.

Decide right now. I don't have much time

You have five seconds to respond, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

I'll do it!

Okay...

Bravo, Aiko-san!

We did it.

This is the theme this time.

BAD-GUY MAGNET.

ROMANCE BETWEEN A BAD-GUY-MAGNET MARUNOUCHI OL AND A GOOD YOUNG GUY.

This looks great. Let's use it.

It has a real sense of Reiwa.

But you see,

I don't have the skills to get hired by a company in Marunouchi.

Just put on an act.

But how?

Why can't you figure it out yourself?

Did you throw away your brain?

- That's a good line. - "Did you throw away your brain?"

Let's start with appearances.

Clothes, cosmetics, transportation, and meals,

these are necessary expenses that we will pay separately.

Oh, and don't forget the receipts.

Also, the fact that Karibe Maria is Karibe-kun,

or that she is a man,

is strictly confidential, so please keep it.

If it leaks out, we'll sue you.

Please keep that in mind.

I will.

Now, please sign this covenant.

You can leave right after this.

Okay.

All right.

We'll start the day after tomorrow.

I don't have much time.

Marunouchi OL... Marunouchi OL...

"Seven Days of Marunouchi OL's Outfits."

Okay.

To be honest, I don't really want to do this ridiculous...

romance work.

But...

I don't know what I'm supposed to wear anymore.

It's been a long time since people are having high expectations of me.

So it made me want to try my best.

Aw!

Kochan!

The "Ginten"'s NAME (rough draft/storyboards of manga) hasn't been finished yet, has it?

You see, we're still cooking up some ideas for the opening chapter of the Reiwa Arc.

You're doing it at such a slow pace, can you really finish it in time?

I wonder what will happen if you lose the first few color pages (in the manga magazine).

In that case, do you mind if I take those color pages instead?

Thank you for your hard work, Karen-sensei.

Congratulations on the anime adaptation of "Ad-lib Unrequited Loveโ€‹".

Thank you.

But I still haven't defeated "Ginten" yet.

I'm sorry that we still occupy the first place in the survey.

Oh, come on!

Karibe-sensei and Karen-sensei are the two pillars of our "Shojo Morning".

SHOJO MORNING.

Is Karibe-sensei going to attend the next party?

No...

I'd like to meet her at least once.

The artist only communicates by saying "thank you" without showing her face.

KARIBE MARIA.

She doesn't seem to be that young from the way she draws.

I'll leave that to your imagination.

I'll be happy to be the substitute to take on the first color pages anytime.

Duly noted.

Karen-sensei, have you been to the new cafe downstairs?

- I have. - Really?

Why did you go there?

Sensei, shall we go there? Let's go.

I have to do something.

First off, please go to the cafe here...

in Marunouchi tomorrow morning at 8:00.

So it's a morning activity.

An acquaintance of mine who works in Marunouchi will be there.

What?

He's a single, handsome young man...

who works for a prestigious company.

Then, if we can arrange a blind date with him...

That's too simple!

What Karibe-kun wants to see is a natural encounter.

The other party will be there to see me.

What?

Please find him in the cafe and meet him naturally.

You can't call that "natural", can you?

So you're saying, you're confident that you'll be able...

to naturally meet a Marunouchi guy tomorrow morning without any preparation?

I'm sorry!

So, you'll be studying rugby now.

RUGBY IS A GENTLEMAN'S SPORT.

HOW TO PLAY.

POSITION.

Huh? What should I?

I can't let him end up just passing you by when you two meet.

So I'm going to give you a weapon.

I see.

So the other party likes rugby, doesn't he?

Yes, we joined the same rugby club at college,

and it's safe to say that he's a rugby geek.

Huh? You used to play rugby?

Is there a problem?

No.

Please teach me!

Whose emblem is this?

The Japan national team!

Yes, and what is the nickname of the Argentina national team?

- Jaguar! - That's their emblem!

Their nickname is Los Pumas!

Ah, that was close!

No, it wasn't! God, Aiko-san, you're so hopeless.

Will she be okay?

Aiko-san has trouble remembering things!

It's all written in Katakana, so...

Whining as soon as we start?

I can't complain to you since we're not equals, so...

Aiko-san, please just memorize it, by rote or whatever you can!

The fate of "Ginten" and the one million yen are in your hands!

Okay! Next question, please!

What is this called?

Jackling!

A knock-on!

Good luck!

The game will end at 8:30 when he has to leave the cafe.

FINANCIAL MARKETS SALES DEPARTMENT. JOINED IN 2013. HAYASE TSUYOSHI.

Just go in!

Looks like he's our guy.

Kyaa!

Are you okay?

Yes.

Such a slow-witted.

- Rugby? - What's going on?

Excuse me!

Goodbye, one million yen.

Oh no...

You're just gonna give up?

Don't give up!

The game ends~

Excuse me, can you let me through?

I'm sorry!

Thank you.

Do you like rugby?

Ah, yes...

Do you perhaps...?

I love it, too!

Nice try!

Wow! That was a great goal right before the end of the match!

I tried to apply the spirit of the jackal!

I see.

Kogo-san.

I finished the NAME (Manga's rough draft).

That's quick!

Don't touch it!

Sorry.

Karibe-kun won't let anyone else touch the manuscript.

Is that so?

Well then, tell me.

Tell you what?

The progress report.

The real situation that can't be conveyed in a video.

Okay.

I'll go read it in the back.

Well then, let me start my report.

Tell me what happened after you two met.

Okay.

Would you like to sit over there?

A table outside just happened to be available at the time.

I can't start my day if I don't have a cup of coffee here.

We had a surprisingly good time talking about rugby.

It was so moving!

I can relate.

Ah, I should get going.

It's a pity, I wanted to talk to you more.

Um...

Can you tell me your name?

I'm Hayase.

Hayase Tsuyoshi.

Hayase-san.

I'm Kuon. Kuon Aiko.

Aiko-chan.

Yes.

My heart skipped a beat when he suddenly called me by my first name.

So we decided to continue our conversation there tomorrow morning.

Hello? Are you listening?

What?

Are you taking notes in pictures instead of writing it down?

It's faster this way.

You're amazing.

It's nothing.

Karibe-kun, you're the best!

I can see the Reiwa Arc in it. It's great!

Thanks to Aiko-san, Karibe-kun could finished his drawing smoothly.

Thank you!

Don't mention it.

So, um...

Can I get my paycheck?

Huh?

Did you think you'd get one million yen for this?

Wouldn't I?

You've only just met him and nothing's started yet.

Wasn't there only one mission?

Of course not.

This is the next mission.

ASK HIM OUT ON A DATE.

Are you serious?

Morning.

Good morning.

Aiko-chan, do you have an SNS account?

I'm not on any SNS.

That's too bad.

I just want to invite you to an interesting community of rugby fans.

I'm sorry.

Getting along with people at work is already troublesome, so...

Ah~ I get what you mean.

- There's a case like that. - Yes.

Oh no. I can't find the right time to ask him out.

What building is your company in?

The South Building.

Oh, isn't there a sports bar nearby?

Yes, there is.

They often show rugby games.

Right?

I've been wanting to go there.

This is my chance!

If you don't mind, will you go with me...

If you don't mind, will you go with me sometime?

Huh?

Do you mind?

No, I was going to ask you out, too.

Really?

Yes.

I'm looking forward to it, because I also had soo much fun today.

Isn't that great?

He said he had soo much fun.

It's "soo much", not just "so much". OMG!

My heart went pit-a-pat.

"Soo" with double "o"?

Yes!

I see.

What else? Report that pit-a-pat thingy.

So, um, let's see...

When we were leaving the cafe...

PIT-A-PATTING

And this one is a bit cliche...

Are you okay?

Yes.

PIT-A-PATTING

Having that unexpected physical contact with such a gentleman made me so...

Let me make sure.

I want to see the exact movement of the bones and muscles.

I usually have Kogo-san do this for me.

Oh, you mean you need it for your drawings?

Yes, get up.

Okay!

What was your position?

I was like this, and the other guy was coming at me like this.

What about Hayase?

Hayase-san was... excuse me.

He was holding my arm like this...

Oh, and he was holding this hand, too.

Be quiet.

Um...

Is it like this?

That's not quite right.

It should be a little lower.

Hey, you're putting too much force!

That's too much force!

You should be more gentle.

More gentle? Then I can't move...

You wouldn't do it like that normally.

Show me how to do it.

It's like this.

Can people move like this?

Yes, we can.

- People move like this? - Just try to draw it.

Thank you, Onigawara~!

You look bubbly. Did something good happen?

I'm getting paid soon.

From that job?

Yes, Hayase-san is a really nice person.

Hayase? What's his first name?

Tsuyoshi.

His names sounds too strong for his image, though.

Aiko-san, isn't it not good?

What is?

He wrote, "I have a feeling spring will come for me, too."

Is that Hayase-san's account?

HAYASE TSUYOSHI : "I HAVE A FEELING SPRING WILL COME FOR ME, TOO" #MORNINGCAFE #ACUPBEFOREWORK

Will it be okay? He's taking it seriously.

It's just work for you, isn't it?

Yes, it is...

Sorry for coming, you didn't answer my calls, so...

I'm in the middle of work. Tell me what you want.

I can't fool Hayase-san any longer.

What?

For some reason, I feel like Hayase-san has feelings for me...

I didn't see this coming because I never thought I'd be liked by someone who wasn't bad.

Huh?

Well, isn't it a lie?

If he really has a crush on me, maybe he will eventually forgive me...

Can we finish this mission?

Are you an idiot?

I can't keep deceiving such a nice guy...

It's all up to you, isn't it?

What?

Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.

What's important isn't whether it's a lie or the truth.

It's how you feel.

Gomez, Gomez! Go! Go!

Nice play!

Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.

Why don't we go watch a top league game sometime?

I'll do my best to get the tickets.

But still... to deceive such a saintly person like him is just...

Look, Hayase-san.

I'm sorry!

I was deceiving you, Hayase-san.

What do you mean?

Those were lies.

The fact that I'm a Marunouchi OL,

and that we met by chance.

Even I knew rugby just through an overnight study.

THE KARIBE'S.

Excuse me!

Hello?

Is it Aiko-san?

Ren-kun? What's the matter?

My uncle fell ill.

What should I do?

What if he dies...

What to do... what to do...

Ren-kun, calm down.

It'll be alright.

I'll be all alone again.

Wait for me. I'll be right there.

I'm really, really sorry!

Excuse me!

Ah, wait...

Ren-kun!

Aiko-san!

Are you all right?

I just can't move.

Where does it hurt?

I'm having acute lumbar pain.

I've had it before.

Is it like a strained back or something?

Let's go to the hospital for now!

Bring my manuscript and a pen.

Manuscript?

I'll draw it here. I won't make it in time.

Let's just postpone the deadline a bit...

I can still move my hands.

- But still... - Just go get them!

Please.

Okay!

The manuscript and pen are on the desk.

Go to the left.

Bring the ink and eraser, too.

Okay.

You're in the way. Go to bed.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Amazing.

Did Karibe-san draw these...

What are you doing there?

Yes! I'm coming!

You're just forcing yourself.

Don't talk. You're distracting me.

I'm sorry.

Darn it.

If there's anything I can do to help...

I'm sorry. I won't bother you anymore.

Help me use the eraser.

I have no strength left.

Okay!

Hey!

Do it gently.

Gently.

Okay.

Put this one.

The last one.

Okay.

Turn it around.

Hold it tight.

Don't shake it.

Sorry.

It's dangerous.

It's finished.

It's done!

Thank...

Is there anything you want to do?

That's enough.

I'm fine.

Okay, then.

What happened?

It's written all over your face.

Tell me about your date.

I'm sorry!

I told him...

that it was all a lie.

Huh? Ouch...

But of course I didn't say anything about the manga.

I told him it was staged by me.

How did he react?

He seemed to be in disbelief...

I'm disgusted with myself.

I kept telling myself how bad it was.

Sorry, I'm just talking about me.

Keep talking.

Just go on.

I'd realized that...

what I thought I was doing and what I was actually doing...

weren't the same thing.

I'd always wanted to find a life partner.

But I kept falling for the wrong guys.

I was so happy when you said it had to be me and that you have high expectations of me.

And that I was in a pseudo-relationship I couldn't have.

Go back.

Go back to that guy.

Hayase-san has already left.

You thought he could be your life partner, didn't you?

But...

Then don't give up.

Try turning your lie into the truth.

Go!

Okay.

Run!

Okay.

Of course he's left...

Hayase-san, why...?

I had a feeling you'd come back.

So you lied to me...

because you wanted to meet me?

Yes.

Is that why you learned about rugby, came to Marunouchi and pretended to be an OL?

Yes.

I see.

Thank you.

I can't believe you put so much effort for me.

What? I'm really sorry.

It's okay for you to hate me.

From now on, please show me the real Aiko-chan.

The doctor said he'll be here in half an hour.

Thank you.

You should've called me earlier.

I had to finish the manuscript first.

But in that condition, you still made it in time on your own.

It's nothing.

Ren.

Yes.

You've been...

a great help to me.

I managed to finish the manuscript in time because of your call.

That means we are...

you know,

equals.

Who did you call?

Aiko-san.

Did you get her to help you out?

Yes.

That's the first time you've let someone other than me touch your manuscript.

It was an emergency.

So that's what happened.

Thank you so much!

So the love that started as a lie has become real.

Yes, thanks to you, Karibe-san.

You've finally met your life partner.

Yes!

What's important isn't whether it's a lie or the truth.

It's the feeling.

If it wasn't for your encouragement,

we wouldn't have ended up together.

I'm really grateful to you!

Break up.

Huh?

Go break up.

Go break up with that guy.

Whaaaaaat??!

Did you know my father?

Yeah, he was my senior in high school, so...

Were you his girlfriend?

We went out after I confessed to him so many times.

Confessed to him so many times?

Even if he kept rejecting me, whenever I heard he broke up with his girlfriend,

I'd confess again.

And finally after my fifth try...

If a girl confessed to you five times, you'd end up falling for her, right?

What an interesting girl.

It didn't last long,

but he was my first love.
