I think that's everything. Thanks.

Hey, Onoe.

Any news about Inami Kei and Haruta Yui?

Nothing yet.

Man, I hope it all turns out okay.

I'm Onoe Satoshi, a journalist for the Weekly Dash.

I'm chasing a scoop about talented actor Inami Kei,

the idol turned actress Haruta Yui, and their passionate love despite their age gap.

- Is that so? - It's the truth.

I was trailing Inami Kei.

You're... Onoe-kun, right?

- However, Inami noticed me...- Then are you chasing after the rumor...

and found out about the scoop I was chasing.- about me and Haruta-chan?

Are you two dating?

No way. We're just friends.

However, I don't think they're dating.

That's fine, but give me something that proves it.

This is juicy stuff for us, since we publish about him every week.

We can't simply back down.

Well, I guess.

Next week is Inami and Haruta's last interview.

It'd be great if you could get this done by then.

- I'm counting on you.- All right.

I'm back.

Good work today. What were you doing this afternoon?

I found a lead, so I'm going to look into it.

How about you?

Do you know what Inami's up to?

Yeah, he's filming at a studio in Seijo this afternoon.

He'll probably exercise a bit at the park in Nikotama before that.

You've gotten pretty knowledgeable about him.

It's Inami-san's usual pre-shoot routine.

Oh, "Inami-san"?

The guy is Kaburagi Motoharu, a photographer and my partner.

Here, I found it.

Peach?

That's what you asked for.

Actually, something happened last night.

Tell me how you really feel.

Your "like" is the same as mine, right?

Kaburagi.

What?

There's something I want to ask you.

I'll say it.

You like me too, right?

You...

You...

You... You like m-m-meechu, right? (T/N: instead of "mo" [too], he says "momo" [peach])

I stuttered...

Peaches?

Oh, so you like peaches?

Huh?

Are you talking about the yogurt I brought?

Yeah, that's what I meant, Kaburagi-kun.

I recommend vanilla yogurt with peach flavor.

Got it. Peaches, yeah?

Yeah, it's delicious too.

Is it that good?

Yeah...

It was on your cheek.

What are you, a child?

It's good.

My feelings are off the charts this morning.

♫ Good Morning, this is the twelfth alarm ♫

♫ A predicament is certainly a chance ♫

♫ I realized it, thank you, thank you ♫

♫ If you realized it, go sign, oh yeah ♫

♫ Loose but greedy, oh yeah ♫

♫ Hey, come here, my friends, my bae ♫

♫ I really won't let you get bored ♫

♫ If you realized it, go sign, oh yeah ♫

♫ Loose but greedy, oh yeah ♫

♫ Being alone isn't for me ♫

[Shot 5]

Fifteen laps on a 400-meter course.

Inami runs for six kilometers.

I told you there's nothing between me and Haruta-chan.

There's no point in following me.

Yes, um...

I agree with you, but,

if that's true, I need something to prove that

so I can convince my boss, too.

Well, that is your job, after all.

But how do you prove the absence of something?

Yeah, I'm not sure.

You're funny, Onoe-kun.

- Should we sit down? - Sure.

You're not the kind to write for a gossip magazine.

Usually, they're hungry for scoops.

I'd want a scoop too if there were one.

But I don't want to make stuff up.

You're so serious.

I mean, if I write about someone,

it might affect their lives.

I don't want to be irresponsible.

Then let me confess something to you, Onoe-kun.

But I don't have strong evidence.

Huh? What is it?

I...

have someone I've always liked.

Is it one of the rumors from before?

No.

I think it'll end as a crush.

- I don't think...- It's true.

The one I like is a guy.

Did you tell him how you feel?

Of course not. There's no future there.

Basically, Inami-san has always liked his best friend from high school.

But that guy's already married.

He doesn't want to bother him,

and wants to maintain their current relationship.

He plans to keep things as they are.

I see.

So the thing with Haruta Yui is a groundless rumor.

Oh, and I'm not writing about this.

He's been keeping this a secret all this time,

I'd feel bad writing about it.

Looks like he completely won you over.

What?

Well, but it might be true that the Haruta Yui affair was a false rumor.

I got some information today too.

Huh? What is it?

According to the story, Inami referred a woman he knew to a porn video.

What? What're you saying?

I haven't gotten proof yet.

What?

But this is a leak from a related party.

It's worth looking into.

You might be right, but...

The Inami you're talking about

and the one I'm looking into don't match.

That bothers me.

A porn video? That guy?

I can't see it at all.

I don't think that'd be true.

Good work today.

Huh? For me?

Yeah.

Let's sit down.

Sorry for being so annoying.

You have no choice if your boss won't let it go.

What?

You need proof that Haruta-chan and I aren't involved, right?

Oh, I see.

That's right, yeah.

What? Is it different?

No, it is.

My boss won't let it go.

It's true, but now he's being suspected of mediating porn.

I can't tell him that.

Could it be that you were told to write about how I like guys?

What? No.

I haven't told my boss about that.

You didn't?

I totally thought you would write about it.

I mean, Inami-san,

you really care about that person, right?

I don't want to poke fun at that in a gossip column.

So many people think it's weird for two men to like each other.

But you can't help who you like.

Oh, sorry.

No, thank you.

It's reassuring to hear you agree with me like that.

Sorry for being so loud all of a sudden.

I'm... glad I got to meet you, Onoe.

I can't imagine him doing anything bad.

I mean, he's so nice to me, even though I'm a gossip journalist.

No one gave me a drink like that before.

He's definitely innocent.

Let me tell you something.

This industry's ironclad rule

is to never get close to a target, since things get personal.

Then did you find anything?

I haven't found anything solid yet, but I've heard rumors.

You haven't found any proof, right?

It's all fake.

Why do you want him to be innocent so badly?

Do you like the guy?

Yeah, I do.

I mean, he's such a nice guy.

I don't want to be a bother to him.

You're so naive.

I told you before that he's an actor.

It's easy for him to put on a friendly face and pull an act.

What?

You've never even talked to him before.

That's why I can be so objective about this.

Listen.

Most people aren't naive like you are.

What?

Not everyone's twisted like you are.

My bad.

But give some thought to the side that people tend to hide

if you want to continue this work.

Whatever, I'm going to find proof that he didn't do it.

Watch me, idiot.

Kaburagi...

That idiot.

Ugh, he's such an idiot.

He's here?

What Kaburagi said might be true.

I'm glad I got to meet you, Onoe-kun.

However, if he's lying, how can I know what's true?

Why're you here?

We just had a fight.

We did.

Then why are you here?

I don't know how you're going to find proof that he didn't do it,

but if you're that adamant, I'm going to go see Inami.

What?

Here's the beer.

- Thanks.- Thank you.

- Cheers.- Thank you.

Good work today.

That's amazing, Inami Kei's sitting right in front of me!

Please give me an autograph later!

Of course.

All right!

Masayan, don't get so excited.

Sorry I brought you to this weird place.

You're a regular here, you know.

But the food here is all great.

I recommend the homemade steamed meat dumplings.

Oh, okay. I'll take steamed meat dumplings then.

Sure, coming up.

I'll bring something extra. On the house.

What? You've never done that for me.

Why would I ever give you anything on the house?

Okay, I'll be back.

You two get along great.

Masayan and I?

We are best friends since high school.

Really? That's nice.

Thank you.

But became an actor because someone from high school suggested it, right?

What? Yeah. How'd you know?

I've read a lot of articles about you.

Wow, thanks.

Actually, he was a friend of mine.

He was a funny guy.

You know, his name is Inukai.

Not only has his name "dog" in it,

but he really looks and acts like a dog.

What kind of guy is he?

He has a nice build, but kind eyes.

He was so friendly when he smiled.

Once you were his friend, he'd let his guard down completely.

People would actually get confused about how close they had gotten.

Seriously?

Inukai-san acting like a dog. That's fun.

Right?

Oh, is that maybe the guy you like, Inami-san?

Oh, he's not.

Oh, sorry for prying.

Kaburagi sure is late.

What is he doing?

It'll cost you.

That's normal.

Thanks.

Be particularly careful this time.

Got it.

[List of Porn Actors]

That's funny.

Then let me see your hand.

I'll read your palm.

Palm reading?

There's someone you like, right?

- You can tell? - Yeah.

Oh, it might be your fated partner.

What? Really?

Will it go well?

Yeah, I like you, Onoe-kun.

Really?

I'm glad I met you too, Inami-san.

You're so cute.

- Huh? Wasn't that your partner just now? - Huh?

He was there just now.

I'll go check.

I'll be right back.

Hey, wait.

What's the matter?

Why're you leaving?

You're a bigger flirt than I thought.

What?

You're glad you met him?

And he's interested in you too?

Great. I hope you two have a great time.

I thought you liked me.

But I guess I was wrong.

I guess you'll snuggle up to anyone, huh?

Wait, hold on.

I was talking about you earlier.

What?

Inami-san was reading my palm,

and he said he could tell I liked someone.

Therefore...

Like I said,

the one I like is...

Well...

What about you?

What the hell?

I can't say.

Hey, this place is a bit...

Were you jealous by chance?

Shut up.

Stay quiet.

Hey, don't give me orders.

[Preview] You keep looking into me, Kaburagi-kun.

Someone else might be harmed.

You chose this path.

Maybe I'm not cut out to be a journalist.

The other person won't know until you say how you feel.

I truly like you.

It's more than just "like".[This story is completely fiction.]
