01x09 - Accepting You No Matter What

[bunniefuu]

[birdsong]

[Shun] Hi! We're home.
-[group] Welcome back.

-[Dai] We're back from our date.
-[Ryota] Hey.

-[Dai] I had a good time.
-[Ikuo] Fun?

-[Shun] Yeah.
-[Dai] Yeah, we had fun.

-[all laughing]
-[Taeheon] Nice!

-[Shun] They're back.
-[Taeheon] Hmm?

[Dai] Where are they?

Oh, there they are! Oh, gosh.

[Shun] They look happy.

-[Alan] Yoo-hoo!
-[Ikuo] Welcome back!

-[group] Welcome back.
-[Kazuto] We're home!

[Alan] Everyone is here!

-[Dai] Yeah, we're all here.
-[Ryota] Welcome back.

So, were there any new developments?

-[Kazuto] A lot of progress.
-[Dai] Ohhh...

-[Kazuto] Yeah.
-[Alan] There was a lot.

-How about you? Any progress with you?
-[Ikuo] I'm jealous.

[Shun] Mmm.

Can you tell us about it?

-We slept.
-[Alan] Come on!

-Yeah.
-[Alan] What?

We slept.

[Kazuto] So you had sex?

Yes.

-[Kazuto] You did? Really?
-[Dai and Shun chuckling]

It's a lie.

He's lying to us!

He won't tell us if they had sex.

-[Kazuto] He was so convincing!
-[Alan] Did you guys kiss?

[gasps]

You did it.

[all laughing]

-[Kazuto] How do you feel?
-[Alan] There's an afterglow.

-Which means the kiss must've been good.
-[Dai and Shun laugh]

-[Alan] Oh!
-[Ikuo] They're enjoying the afterglow.

-The afterglow has lingered a long time.
-[Kazuto] It's still there.

[Ryota] A very long time.

-[Chiaki] That was a great kiss.
-Shun is a really honest guy, isn't he?

Dai's giggling, but I bet he's also like,
"Don't tell them."

-[Thelma] Mmm.
-[Megumi] Gosh!

[Taeheon] I have a lot of questions.

[Gensei] Of course,
you can ask me anything.

-When your name and Ryota's were called...
-[Gensei] Yeah.

It seemed to me
that you looked pretty happy.

[chuckles] Did I?

But it wasn't the same kind of happiness
that Dai had when his name was called.

Well, I had known Ryota liked Kazu...

had feelings for Kazuto quite a while ago.

-[Taeheon] Mmm.
-He told me when we were at the picnic.

-Mm-hmm.
-I was happy about the date itself.

But there were also
a lot of mixed feelings.

-That makes sense.
-[Gensei] Mm. Mm-hmm.

Did you notice when
the couples came back this morning

that it seemed like
Ryota looked a little bit sad?

-I saw it on his face. I sensed it.
-[Taeheon] Mm-hmm.

[Gensei] When Kazuto and Alan came back,

I could tell that Ryota was
still thinking about him a little.

So what do you think you're gonna do now?

I don't think that telling him how I feel
about him now would make a difference.

I'm guessing it
would just be counter-productive.

[Taeheon] Hmm.

I need to take a little space
and figure things out

before I have another
conversation with him.

That would be the best thing I could do.

For example, Alan said that

figuring out how to find happiness

is the key to choosing a path.

-Oh, that's right.
-He said happiness is something he values.

And I happen to be someone
who totally agrees with his opinion.

So now, I'm just trying to figure out
what would bring me happiness,

look at the things that would make me
happy or not, and then choose a path.

I think if I tell Ryota
about the feelings I have for him,

I'm not gonna be happy with how it goes.

Oh. Uh-huh. Hmm.

I'm going to think about it for a while,
like, tonight. Mmm.

But don't think too hard.

[Gensei] Hmm. Right.

So how have you been doing, Taeheon?

Well, the other day I asked everyone
about their coming out experiences.

-[Gensei] Mm-hmm.
-[Taeheon] Mmm.

-You guys gave me courage.
-[Gensei] Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

[Taeheon] But, um...

Hmm.

But I'm still pretty scared about it.

-I don't know what I'm going to do.
-Hmm.

-I want to be able to tell my parents.
-[Gensei] Mmm.

-But how should I tell them?
-[Gensei] Mmm.

I know there are a few different ways
they could respond to my confession.

[Gensei] Mm-hmm.

-They'll both be shocked.
-[Gensei] Mmm.

Hmm. Yeah, your daughter is...
No, I'm not your...

[both laugh]

-Your son is! Your son is, um, is g*y.
-[Gensei] Mmm.

And on top of that,
the whole world is gonna know about it.

[Gensei] Mmm.

So now, I'm concerned
about what they'll think.

-[Gensei] Mmm.
-[Taeheon] Hmm.

But I think it could be
a good opportunity.

[Taeheon] Hmm. Hmm.

If you hadn't been involved in this show,
when were you going to tell them?

I mean, I didn't have, like,
a road map or a specific time planned

to tell them about any of this, so...

-Hmm.
-[Taeheon] Mmm.

-But you wanted to tell them.
-[Taeheon] Mmm.

This is a good chance! [chuckles]

-You're right.
-[Gensei] You're not doing anything wrong.

[Taeheon] During my time in this house,

I feel like I've made real connections
with all of you.

We're more than
friends who meet up once in a while.

-Mmm.
-[Taeheon] And that's encouraging for me.

[Gensei] Mm-hmm.

I hope that I'll be able to tell them
without overthinking it.

[Gensei] That's good.
Then we shouldn't think too much.

-[Taeheon] Right!
-Don't worry, you can do it.

[Thelma] Taeheon is not in love
with anyone in the house,

but his story really belongs on this show,
don't you think?

-[Durian] It does!
-Absolutely.

I think it's beautiful
how he found strength with them.

So Gensei revealed that he wasn't sure

if telling Ryota how he felt at this point
would make a difference at all.

Maybe he thinks expressing his feelings to
Ryota would just make him uncomfortable.

-[Megumi] It's a lot to think about.
-Yeah.

[birdsong]

-[Thelma] They aren't together?
-[Durian] Why not?

[Chiaki] Wait a minute.

[Dai] Good morning, Taeheon.

[Dai] Seriously, I don't know
what's going on with Shun right now.

I think

maybe,

when we were together I did something that
he- didn't like,

or that was a little, you know...

[Taeheon] Ahem, ahem, ahem.

[Dai] He might've
taken something negatively.

I'm waiting for his reaction or some clue.

-What happened to them?
-No way, nothing just changes overnight.

-All of a sudden.
-[Thelma] Yeah.

[message alert chimes]

-[Taeheon] Oh.
-[Alan] It rang!

-[Gensei] "Good morning."
-[group] Good morning.

[Kazuto] Good morning.

"Today's shift will be announced."

-[Alan] Whoa. I can't wait, let's hear it!
-[Dai] Great!

"On today's shift,

Gensei will be in
charge of the coffee truck."

-[Ikuo] Oh!
-[Alan] Yay!

-[Taeheon] Oh!
-[Dai] Yeah!

"Gensei, please choose one person you
would like to have work with you today."

-What?
-Just one?

-[Taeheon] Oh!
-[Alan] Now Gensei gets to choose.

-This is his moment to show how he feels.
-[Ikuo] Let's see.

-[Gensei] Please work with me.
-Me?

[Alan laughs]

-Is that okay?
-[Ryota] I'd love to.

[applause]

-Have fun.
-Mm-hmm.

[Alan] Oh, gosh!

You're a little pale.
Do you need some makeup?

-[laughter]
-[Gensei] You don't look so good today.

-[Ryota] Please!
-Isn't that rude?

You have dark circles.

I have to be careful and
avoid the freckles area.

Yeah, please.

-Those are part of my charm.
-Yeah.

-[Durian laughs] It's good!
-[Thelma] Wow! Cool!

-You should let your hair grow.
-[Ryota] Oh.

-Starting now?
-[Gensei] Yeah.

It's nice to do hair and makeup
for someone you care about.

When someone does your makeup,
their face is right in front of you.

[Megumi] Yeah,
I bet Gensei's heart is pounding.

-[Gensei] Okay.
-[Ryota] All right.

Did you practice your drawing?

-[Gensei] No, I didn't.
-[both giggle]

[Ryota] I'm pretty sure you could work
as a real barista anywhere.

You make the coffee quickly,
and it looks beautiful.

[Gensei] Thank you so much. I'm flattered.

-Here's the guava juice for you.
-[woman] Thanks.

-[Gensei] There's straws there.
-[woman] Thanks.

[Gensei] Feel free to take one.

-[woman] Bye.
-[Gensei and Ryota] Thank you.

[Ryota] Nice!

-1,900 yen. Oh. Good1
-[Gensei] Wow.

-[Ryota] We earned...
-[Gensei] We earned...

-More than the first day.
-[Ryota] More than the first! All right.

-Let's have fun.
-[Gensei] Let's do it. Let's have fun.

-[Yoshimi] It's already a fun memory.
-[Durian] Yeah.

-He mistook the handwriting.
-[Megumi] Yeah, Gensei misunderstood.

[Chiaki] That's right.

[Ikuo] Let's make a list of things
to do today.

-[Kazuto] Gym and soaking up the sun.
-[Ikuo] And the pool?

Can I be by myself?

-[Taeheon] Sure...
-[Alan and Kazuto] What?

-[Dai] That's...
-Okay, but what happened?

Right now, I can't enjoy myself
around somebody.

[Dai sighs]

That's why I need a little space.

From us?

From him.

-[Alan] From Dai?
-[Shun] Mm-hmm.

[Alan] Dai, you must be wondering
why Shun is saying that.

[Dai] Mmm.

If you have something you need to say,
you can share it.

Tell us why you're upset.

It's a hassle.

[Ikuo sighs]

-[Taeheon] Dai? You wanna say something?
-No.

-[Taeheon] You don't?
-[Dai] Mmm.

-Dai must've had enough.
-[Megumi] It's been hard for him.

-[Durian] I'm tired.
-[Megumi] Shun wears him out.

No matter how much he shows he cares.

-[Thelma] What happened?
-Not how you build a relationship.

-[Thelma] Come on!
-I agree. What's the matter with you?

-[Dai] The gym sounded good.
-[Ikuo] It's almost noon, right?

[Alan] It's almost time.

-[Dai] One thing comes to my mind.
-[Taeheon] Hmm?

[Alan] Mm-hmm?

Well, yesterday, before I took a bath...

-[Alan] Mm-hmm.
-Um...

Shun said,
"You can wear this T-shirt, it's clean."

-"I just wore it for a little while"
-Mm-hmm.

I said, "Thanks, I'm good.
I have a new one."

-But he insisted, "Hey this one's clean."
-[Alan] Mmm.

So I took it at the time saying,
"Oh, okay."

But then I just put on what
I wanted to wear just like I usually do.

So yeah, I put on my T-shirt
and I went upstairs to get a face mask,

and Shun said, "You're not wearing that."

-That's definitely it.
-[Dai] Mmm.

[panel laughing]

-Everyone already knows Shun's thinking.
-[Megumi] Yeah, everyone.

It's weird to say, "I'm sorry
that I didn't wear your T-shirt."

It's not a thing
I should have to apologize for.

[Alan] You know, well, in the end,

I know there are things that
you are seeing only from your perspective.

Why not try to be honest with him?

-[Kazuto] That's right.
-Yeah, I hear you. I do wanna talk to him.

But something feels off about the fact

that I'm the one
who has to initiate everything with him.

[all] Mmm.

-[Ikuo] Let's talk. Do you have time?
-[Dai] Mmm.

-[Ikuo] I'm a bit worried.
-[Dai] About what?

-[Ikuo] About you.
-[Dai] About me?

Yeah. When I see you,
it's really painful for me.

Really?

[Ikuo] You've been very patient with him.

He tosses you around so much.

I feel like this situation
must be hard for you.

I'm not gonna give up on him
until I'm worn out.

Hmm.

I don't know who'll
get worn out first, though. [chuckles]

Look, you've been
a very good friend to me.

so I just wanted to say
that I'm here for you.

Oh! You're sweet.

-So tell me.
-[Ikuo] Hmm?

[Dai] If something is going on with you
that made you want to share this with me,

well, does that mean that you're starting
to have different kinds of feelings?

Like romantic feelings for someone?

-I am, but...
-[Dai] I thought so.

You know,
I'll support you as much as I can.

[Ikuo] Mmm.

-Does he like Dai? Is that what it means?
-Did you see him?

I'm pretty sure that face
means he likes Dai, right?

Well, but, Kazuto... Do you think
this means that he's given up on Kazuto?

-Maybe that's what you see on his face.
-[Chiaki] That's possible, for sure.

-[Megumi] I can't tell what he's thinking.
-[Durian] I know.

[Megumi] Shun,
why do you keep doing this?

-I don't understand.
-Maybe Shun and Dai will do this forever.

-[Yoshimi] They're stuck in a cycle.
-[Durian] Seriously.

Dai said, "I won't give up on him
until I'm worn out." So...

That's impressive.
It's not an easy thing to say.

Dai's trying really hard.

I've never seen someone so committed.

I guess he's never felt this way before.

-[all agreeing]
-He's being very protective.

-[Dai] Mmm. Mm-hmm!

What a waste.

-[Alan] Yeah, I know.
-[Ikuo] Mmm.

[Dai] I don't care.

[scoffs]

Are you going to talk to him?

Mm-hmm. I just have to find
the right time to do it.

We'll talk.

[Kazuto] Tell us if you need help.

[Dai sighs]

-[Ikuo] Is it good?
-[Shun] Mm-hmm.

-[Ikuo] I'm gonna take a nap.
-[Shun] I see.

[Ikuo] What's up with you?

-[Shun] Huh?
-[Ikuo] What's up?

-What happened? Can you tell me?
-[Kazuto] I'll help you with these.

-No, I don't want to.
-[Ikuo] Why?

-[Shun] It's a minor detail.
-[Ikuo chuckles]

It's big for me, but others would say,
like, "What? Is that the cause?"

So I don't wanna talk about it.

[Dai] Uh, I really don't understand.

I wonder what Ikuo was thinking
when he decided to sit and talk with Shun.

[Alan] I don't think any of us
know the answer to that.

[Kazuto] I think he's trying to do
something about this to help both of you.

I can see, from your point of view,
it might feel like he's interfering.

But I don't think Ikuo is trying
to do anything that would upset you.

[Taeheon] Yeah, I agree with that.

I know I like to talk a lot,

but I'm not great at communicating
my thoughts when things like this happen.

I can get emotionally frustrated,

and then I have a hard time
finding the right words.

-[Kazuto] Right.
-I'm worried about that.

-So I think that's why.
-[Kazuto] You don't want to hurt him.

I'm at a place where I want to create some
distance. I need to gather my thoughts.

-[Alan sighs]
-You know what I mean?

What you're feeling isn't something
that makes sense to Dai.

It's creating confusion.

If you don't communicate

while we're all here together,

everyone's gonna worry about it.

I think that you need
to have an honest conversation.

If that feels hard,
we could all be present to support you.

Then I'll do that.

-[Ikuo] Talk with all of us here?
-Mm-hmm. Mmm.

I want to know everyone's opinions.

-[Ikuo] Uh-huh.
-Kinda.

-[Ikuo] I'll get them?
-Mm-hmm.

-[Ikuo] Are you okay?
-Yeah.

[Ikuo] Are you ready? I'll go get them.

Okay.

[Shun sighs]

[sighs heavily]

-[Taeheon] Huh?
-[Ikuo] Hey, guys.

So, Shun and I just had a talk...

and...

he's agreed to speak to Dai

and tell him what he's feeling,

with all of us present.

Are you guys ready
to come inside and listen?

[Dai] Hey, Ikuo.
Why did you do that? Seriously.

-[Ikuo] I...
-Why is this a good idea?

[Ikuo] I'm not trying to force you
to get back together.

I just thought this was having
such a negative effect on everyone,

and I... I didn't think it would work if
I just said, "Hey, Dai, go talk to him."

So that was why...

-[Dai] Did you ask him to discuss it?
-[Ikuo] No.

-[Dai] Did he ask you to discuss it?
-[Ikuo] No, I talked to him...

-[Dai] Really?
-[Ikuo] Mmm.

[Dai] Okay. [sighs]

[Alan] He needs a minute.

Yikes, it looks like the situation
got uncomfortable, didn't it?

Human relationships are difficult,
aren't they?

-Ikuo cares about both of them.
-[Chiaki] Yeah.

It's pretty clear that Dai didn't want him
to interfere with their relationship.

-[Dai] Sorry, I can't join the discussion.
-[Alan] It's okay, don't worry about it.

-[Dai] I just can't go there.
-[Alan] Mm-hmm.

[Dai sighs heavily]

[Alan] Calm down and relax for a while.
Just take it easy.

[Dai] Mmm. [sighs]

-[Taeheon] Is he coming?
-[Alan] Mmm, no.

I think it's better to let
Dai talk with him alone.

[Taeheon] I see.

DAI [23]
UNIVERSITY STUDENT

[Ikuo] I'm sorry I just poked my nose
into this without asking first.

But you did it with good intentions?

-[Ikuo] But...
-Then you don't need to feel sorry at all.

I understand that Shun and Dai each
have their own feelings about this.

Whether there's love or not,

I thought it was important
to create an environment

where everyone
could leave this house happy.

But seeing what's happened,

I truly regret what I did to cause this.

-You wanted to do something to help.
-[Ikuo] Hmm.

Yeah, but it makes sense to us
what you were trying to do.

We understand you didn't
have malicious intentions.

We know that you were just
trying to facilitate a solution.

Mmm.

-[Kazuto] We all have the same intentions.
-[Alan] Mm-hmm

[Dai] Alan, come here?

Sure.

-Ahem.
-[Dai] Thank you.

[Alan] Mmm.

This was the first time I feel like

someone's gotten in the way
of my relationship with Shun.

I was looking for a chance
to have a conversation with him.

I want to hear how Shun really feels
and to know what's on his mind.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Now I feel like
Ikuo's opinions are influencing him.

-[Alan] You didn't have a choice.
-[Dai] Makes me angry.

And now he wants
to talk in front of everyone.

Well, about that.

I'm totally against it.

If Shun has something to say,
he should speak directly to you.

He says he wants
to hear everyone's opinions.

He's not willing to talk about his
feelings, but wants to know what we think.

Again, I'm against that,

because if everyone else's opinions
are involved,

how he says he feels
may not be how he really feels.

It seems like
he's dealing with anxiety right now.

-I think he's battling some insecurity.
-Mmm.

For him, communicating can be scary.

I'm not sure, but that's what I think.

What if I can't handle
the things he tells me?

You can handle them.

-I'm scared.
-[Alan] Mmm, I know you are.

But try to make things
go in the right direction.

Don't forget your kindness.

You should be kind to yourself.

And also, be kind to Shun.

It'll make it easier to let go
of the irritation if it starts to come up.

Being kind has magical powers,
you know that.

Trust me.

[sniffles] So...

[chuckles]

Grab Shun's hand and
go talk with him right now.

I think it's important.

[poignant music playing]

-That boy has a lot of empathy.
-[Megumi] He's such a great guy.

-[Chiaki] He's really wonderful.
-I want to live with him.

-[Yoshimi] What? You wanna live with him?
-That's a good idea. Really.

-[Dai] Shun.
-[Shun groans] Mmph.

-[Dai] Let's go to the dining room.
-[Shun] Mm-hmm. Okay.

[Shun sighs]

[Dai] Thank you, guys.

[Taeheon] Hmm.

[Alan] Mmm, let's hug first.

[Ikuo sighs and chuckles]

-I'm sorry.
-[Alan] Mm-hmm.

-It's okay. You're kind.
-[Ikuo whimpers]

[Alan] Mmm.

Mmm.

[chuckles]

Aww, no cry, baby, don't cry.

-[Ikuo sniffles]
-[Alan laughs]

[Alan chuckles]

-Can I get you a drink?
-[Ikuo] Mmm.

People grow by going
through things like this.

Ikuo thought he had to do
something to help them. Right?

And he tried to do his best.

He thought if they all talked,
they would be able to work it out.

[Durian] Exactly.

[Dai] I want to know
why you have such an attitude with me.

Why do you want to know now?

I've wanted to know all day.

Why didn't you ask me, then?

My guess is because I didn't
wear the T-shirt you gave me.

Look, I don't want you

to take for granted
that I'll always come running to you

whenever something happens.

I've thought about it a lot.

-[Shun] The... the T-shirt is part of it.
-[Dai] Hmm.

I told you that I had a boyfriend
I loved until recently, right?

So, I've kind of been

comparing you to him

[Dai] Mm-hmm.

And he was always...

always wearing my T-shirts.

[chuckles]

That was one way he showed me his love.

So, it's about wearing your T-shirts.

Oh, no. It's really hard when
you're compared to your partner's ex.

You're more sensitive than I realized.

This was a good opportunity for me
to remember you're a delicate person.

Since this is hard for you,

I'm willing to work through it with you.

[Shun] Mmm.

I understand that you've
compared me with your ex.

But if you are willing to let go of the
things that we've shared here so easily,

I'll feel really sad about that.

Because there's one thing I'm sure of.

I never want to let go of them.

So if we can get through this together,

I think we'll be able to move forward.

So you think if something like
this T-shirt thing happens again...

[Dai] Mmm.

...and if I ever say something like,
"I don't want you to talk to me,"

-we'll be

back here again?

No, I don't think so.

I'm confident
that I won't let you do this again.

[optimistic music plays]

[sniffles] Mmm.

Thank you.

[chuckles]

Let's go.

All right.

[Alan] So, that...
-[Kazuto] Welcome back!

-We're back.
-[Alan] Welcome! Welcome back.

-[Taeheon] I want to see your face.
-[Shun laughs]

-[Alan] You must be giggling, right?
-[Dai chuckles]

[Alan] You must be giggling!

-Don't hide your giggling face!
-[all laugh]

-[Taeheon] Is he embarrassed?
-[all chuckle]

-[all exclaiming]
-[Megumi] Gosh, that was well done.

Did all of you catch
what Dai finally said to him?

-[Durian] Dai!
-Hasn't he grown into an amazing man?

[Durian] He has! He looked so cool
when he set that boundary for himself.

[Megumi] That was incredible.

[Chiaki] "I'm confident
that I won't let you do this again. "

-Can you believe that?
-[Durian] I was impressed.

-[Megumi] I'm so relieved.
-He was stunning!

I've been waiting for him
to stand up to Shun like that.

[all laughing]

So we know, Shun has had
relationships with other men in the past,

and it seems like there have been times
where he's felt like he's been vulnerable

and he's been let down and hurt.

That's rough.

So, for me, you know,
he seems to be testing Dai,

to see how much he can handle
and what he's willing to concede to,

to prove that he's going to stick around.

-Yeah.
-[Megumi] Maybe.

He might keep testing Dai
over and over again.

Watching them and thinking about it,

we aren't so different.

-[laughs]
-[Durian] Exactly!

-[Megumi] This is a microcosm of society.
-[Chiaki] That's right!

[Gensei] Doesn't it feel good?

The sound of the sea is soothing.

[Ryota] Yeah.

It feels good.

[Gensei] Our stay at the house
seems like a long time.

-But it's going so fast.
-[Ryota] Mmm.

I think that my days
in the Green Room are fulfilling.

[Ryota] Mmm.

[Gensei] And, um...

so much of the fun that
I've been having in the Green Room

is because you've been
a part of this experience with me.

[Ryota] Mmm.

[Gensei] At the beginning of this,
I made a mistake.

I thought the first letter was from you.

-[both laugh]
-From me?

-[Gensei] Yeah.
-Oh, I see.

[Gensei] But, it's okay.
Don't worry about that, I'm fine.

-It didn't bother me at all.
-[Ryota] Mmm.

Me getting confused like that
was actually a good thing.

I think that that misunderstanding
was one of the big reasons

that I started to have feelings for you.

-I was very attracted to you.
-[Ryota] Mmm.

[Gensei] A couple of weeks later,

it became clear to me
that you had feelings for Kazuto.

-Oh, right. Mmm.
-[Gensei] Mmm.

And when I saw you interacting with him,

it was obvious, you know, that you...

you were pretty serious about it.

You were straightforward,
and you let him know.

-[Ryota] Mmm.
-I admired you for your honesty.

[Ryota] Mmm.

It was something that really impressed me.

-[Ryota] Mmm. Mmm.
-I thought you were cool.

It made me find you even more attractive.

-[Ryota] Mmm.
-I found myself wanting to support you.

[Ryota] Mmm.

I think I saw it through to the end.

-[Ryota] Mmm.
-I mean about my stay in the house.

And what I wanted to tell you is...

-Mmm?

I am going to

graduate from the Green Room today.

-Today?
-[Gensei] Today.

-No way. What?
-[Gensei] Yeah.

I haven't told anybody else, though.

-[Megumi] What?
-What?

Are you serious?

-Oh, don't go.
-[Chiaki] Don't go, Gensei! I'll miss you.

[Ryota] Tell me, do you have any regrets?

-Not at all.
-[Ryota] Really?

[laughs]

-[Ryota] You saw it through?
-Exactly.

-Yeah, I shared my feelings with you.
-Mmm.

-I didn't expect any answer from you.
-Mmm.

I thought it would be nice
just to express my thoughts to you.

-Mmm.
-To say what I truly feel.

-Mmm.
-["4ever" by Glen Check playing]

So... do your best.

-[Ryota] Mmm.
-Mmm.

I want you to do your best.

And don't worry, because you're a catch.

-Hmm, yeah. Thank you.

-[Gensei] You should be proud.
-Yeah.

I'm really glad I was able
to meet you at the Green Room.

Well, I think we were able to really
share our feelings with each other.

[Gensei] Hmm.

And that was something
that meant a lot to me.

-[Gensei] Mmm.
-[Ryota] Hmm.

So saying goodbye to you here...

-[Gensei] Mmm?
-[Ryota] Hmm.

...is really sad to me and...

-[Gensei] Mmm?
-[Ryota] Hmm.

-I know I'm gonna miss you a lot.
-[Gensei] Mmm.

-I know.

I have an announcement
for all of you guys.

[Dai] What is it?

[chuckles]

I'm gonna graduate
from the Green Room today. [sniffles]

[Taeheon] Ohh...

[Gensei sobbing]

I've been practicing that for a while.

In the end,

as I say it to all of you,

I'm still crying.

Looking into my heart,
I'm pretty satisfied with myself,

and how I saw it through.

I gained a lot.

I'm just grateful.

I've said everything I wanted to say.

[both chuckle]

I was able to enjoy the party

with everyone
on my last night in this house.

So I have no regrets. [chuckles]

[Taeheon sniffles]

-[Gensei] Thank you very much.
-[Kazuto sighs]

[sniffles]

I really want you to enjoy
the rest of your time here, hmm?

[Alan sighs]

Thank you. [sighs]

[Alan] I can't take this.

[Gensei] All right. I'm leaving.

Hmm.

My shoes are over here.

So, see you later, guys.

-[Dai] See you later.
-[Ryota] I'll see you.

-I'm off.
-Thank you, Gensei.

-[Dai] Take care.
-[Gensei] Yeah.

-[Alan] See you, Gensei.
-Bye-bye.

I saw it through.
I have no regrets at all. Mmm.

I did things I normally wouldn't do.

I also learned how to express my opinions.

When it comes to those things,

I think that all of us living together
helped me to grow so much as a person.

Everything I experienced here
is a treasure.

Everything. I'm grateful. Mmm.

♪ Oh, oh, oh ♪

♪ We used to dive
In our highest feelings... ♪

Gensei was the one who encouraged me

to tell Kazuto everything
about my feelings towards him.

I want to spend my time
here without regrets.

I want to do everything I can.

-[all sighing]
-[Chiaki] Gosh.

-[Megumi] It's so hard to believe it.
-Gensei...

[Chiaki] Why, Gensei?

-He left the Green Room.
-Yeah.

But, you know, from the beginning,
Gensei was being relatively reserved.

He didn't express
his feelings very openly.

But by the time he left,
he said he saw it through.

-I'm glad he was able to do that.
-[Megumi] That's right.

-He grew so much.
-[Thelma] I agree.

From our point of view, it feels like
he could've stayed until the end.

-[Durian] I agree.
-[Thelma] I wanted him to stay.

I thought it would've been nice for him
to spend more time with everyone.

But even though he's close with everyone,
he's faced the fact

that his romantic feelings
are never going to be reciprocated.

[Durian] Very hard.

So even though there are only
a few days left,

I understand how Gensei feels
that he's gotten what he needed

and that it's time for him to leave.

-[Durian] Yeah, I know.
-Aww, the scene was heartbreaking.

-Everyone was crying.
-[all agreeing]

We can tell how much they all love
living together. Look at them.

[all agreeing]

[Taeheon] When I'd wake up in the mornings
and open my bedroom door,

Gensei would walk out and say hello.

-But he wasn't there to do it today...
-Don't say that. I miss him so much.

I'd say hello, he'd say, "Hi, Tae."

[Alan chuckles sadly]

[message alert chimes]

-Mmm. Ahem. May I?
-[Ryota] Mmm.

-[Taeheon] Sure. Go ahead.
-[Alan sighs]

-"Good morning."
-[group] Good morning.

[Alan] "Today's shift will be announced."

"Ikuo will be in charge
of the shift today."

-[Ryota] Oh!
-[laughter]

[Ikuo] Me? [laughs]

[Alan] "Ikuo, please choose a person
you would like to work with."

[Ikuo] Yes.

-[Durian] He chose Dai.
-[Chiaki] Dai.

-[Yoshimi] Oh-h*-h*.
-[laughs]

-[Dai chuckles]
-[Ikuo] Will you go with me?

[both laughing]

Please?

I'd love to.

-[Dai] Wait. I'll be right with him.
-[Ikuo] Yeah.

[Dai] A caffè latte?

A cold one? Would you like the iced one?

A cold one. Yeah.

[Ikuo] The coffee isn't coming out.

-[Dai] It's not coming out at all?
-[Ikuo] No.

-[Dai] Even though it's on? Huh.
-Yeah.

[rattling]

[Dai] It broke.

What should we do?

Hey, I don't think it's on the right way.

Oh, it moved.

-It's working! [laughs]
-[machine whirring]

[Dai clapping]

-Is it rotating?
-[Ikuo] Yup!

-[Dai] Yay!
-[Ikuo] All right!

[Dai] I'm so relieved.
Thank you very much!

I was so nervous about it.

[Ikuo] We're sorry for the wait.

[woman] Thank you. Good luck to you!

-[Dai] Thank you.
-[Ikuo] Thank you.

[Dai] Seriously, I was so panicked.

-Thank you, Mr. Ikuo, for staying calm.
-Sure. No problem.

Excuse us,
we're training ourselves to make coffee.

-[man] Oh, can we drink it now?
-[Ikuo] Yes, if you'd like to!

-I'll have one.
-[woman] Do you have lattes?

[Dai] Good job, Mr. Ikuo!

Excuse me, uh, before they get cold.

-[man] Yes.
-[Ikuo] You want two small hot lattes?

Here. Two small hot lattes for you. Two.

We're going to make iced and hot.

-Just a moment. Okay.
-[man] Okay.

-Can you pass a lid for the middle cup?
-[Ikuo] Okay.

[Dai] Sorry. I know you're busy.
Thank you.

[Ikuo] It's okay, we're both busy.

Let's support each other.

-[Dai] You're great.
-Thanks!

[Dai] We're sorry for being in a rush.
Thank you for the wait.

-[man] Oh! Thank you
-[Dai] Thank you!

-Take care.
-[Ikuo] Thank you, take care now.

-[Dai] Look!
-[Ikuo] Oh, yeah!

-They're by the window.
-[Dai] Are you serious? Where?

[Ikuo] Look at the window,
the second one from the top.

-In the front.

[Dai] I wanna know why you chose me today.

[Ikuo] Ohh!

Simply put...-
-[Dai] Mm-hmm?

There's something
I wanted to say to you about yesterday.

[Dai] Mmm.

Hey, Ikuo. Why did you do that? Seriously.

I never imagined that anything I would do

would cause more problems
between you and Shun.

[Dai] Mmm!

And I wanted to say I'm sorry.

I know you were just looking out for us.

But there is another personal reason.

[Dai] What is it?

I'm pretty sure that everyone at the house
thinks I still have feelings for Kazuto.

But that's already over... for me.

-[laughs] Are you serious?
-Yes, I am.

That's why I thought
you would choose Kazuto today.

[Ikuo] I know. Uh...

I need to tell the person
I'm thinking about now

how I feel about them.

-[Dai gasps] Tell who?
-You!

-[laughs] Me?
-[Ikuo] Yeah.

-Oh!
-[Chiaki] So it's Dai.

That's exactly what we said before.
He likes Dai now.

[Durian] Now we know his feelings.

[Ikuo] You've been on my mind a lot.

-Here's a letter.
-[Dai] What?

[Ikuo] I wrote it for you.

Let me read it.

-"Dear Dai."
-[Dai] Yes.

[Ikuo] "It's hard to say things sometimes,

so I decided
to put my thoughts in writing."

"I have a question."

"Are you happy now?"

[laughs]

[Ikuo] "When we met, I was happy
we were the same age."

"I thought we were compatible,
and you were funny,

so I wanted to get to know you."

"At the go-kart contest,

I decided that if I won I would
ask Kazuto to go on a date with me."

"But I had you in the back of my mind."

"I had feelings for you,
but because I knew that

you were developing
a relationship with Shun,

I felt I should step back."

"I don't mean to compare,

but when I made a list
of the things that I liked about you,

you felt like a better match for me
than Kazuto."

"And it was easy to
think of great things about you." [sniffs]

[Shun] So, Ikuo, you like Kazuto, right?

[laughter]

[Shun] What do you like about him?

I've heard that if you can list
ten cool things about him,

it means it's a good sign for you.

"When I thought about my feelings
honestly, my love for you grew."

"Sometimes, I felt a bit jealous
when you were with Shun."

"I'd asked you for advice about Kazuto,

and I'd heard about Shun from you."

"I saw you being treated badly in a way
I would've hated if it were done to me."

"I'll never let you feel anxious."

"I won't let you feel bad."

"I'll always treasure you."

"I'll put your feelings first and
I'll do what I can to make you happy."

"So can you think of me romantically,
not just as a friend?"

Is it better to be loved, or to chase
after someone to make them love you?

Well... Wait, this is like a drama!

-[Megumi] Gosh, you're right!
-These things often happen in dramas.

-Don't forget the next episode's the last.
-Come on!

[Durian] Wait a minute.

-Can this come together?
-I wanna see more!
