01x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

YUKI: Living alone in Tokyo,
the amount of money you need,

you'll never believe it.

MASAYUKI: This is my first time
renting a girlfriend.

RINA: We just ate meals together,
and I'd shop with them.

I'm quitting the sugar daddy thing.

YUKI: In this unforgiving world,

finding at least a little room
to be myself is what I'm striving for.

YUDAI: What's wrong?
You wanted this, right?

RINA: Every time, as soon as it's over,
my heart is filled

with a suffocating sense of loneliness.

There we go.

Yeah, we're heading out now. See ya.

Wait, so... You're going?

That's one of the seniors,
so we should take off.

-Oh, but you can hang out, Rina.
-Mm-hm.

We'll take care of the cost.
You can stay the night.

You want me to stay here
all alone tonight?

-All right. Ready?
-Thank you. Bye.

See you. Call you later.

See you.

RINA: Why do I feel so empty right now?
All I really want is to be loved.

Is there anyone out there
who could love me for who I am?

NEW MESSAGE

YUKI: Are you okay? Did you get home safe?

[buzzes]

NEW MESSAGE

IIDA

IIDA: So, you forget about me already?

VOICE CALL

IIDA 8/1

[line rings]

IIDA: Rina? What's up?
I didn't think you'd call back.

I want to see you.

Huh?

I want to see you now.

RINA: Iida, hey.

Ah.

So I'm guessing you got lonely.

Well, I guess you know I'm extremely rich
and I'm easy to find.

-Iida...
-[chuckles]

Don't worry. I don't mind it at all.

I guess I'm your sugar daddy.

You're being kind of cruel tonight.

[laughs]
Of course, I am.

And I have every right
to give you a hard time.

I couldn't get a hold of you
for two months.

I missed you, you know.

[light music]

Rina!

Yuki!

Everything go okay with those guys,
the ones from the other day?

Oh, I just hung out with them
at a club for a while.

It was totally fine.

That's good to hear.

Oh, your necklace is so cute!

I'm so jealous. Silver just doesn't
look good on me. I swear.

You look good on rose gold
or bright colors,

you can also really pull off
floral patterns.

[chuckles]
Gosh. That's why I like you.

[both chuckle]

I picked this up the other day,
I think it'll look better on you, though.

You mind if I try it?

Sure, of course.

All right. Okay, just look this way.

Oh, look! It looks so beautiful on you!

Wow...

[both chuckle]

It's all yours.

I can't just take something
that looks so expensive.

RINA: Come on. Don't worry.

I have tons of these, okay?
And I'm planning on getting more.

Rina, did you start
going after sugar daddies again?

I thought you said you stopped doing that.

But I'm not seeing anyone right now.

I mean, some of them give me money
and clothes just to have dinner with them.

Are you sure that's safe, though?

Don't they ask
to sleep with you in return?

It doesn't work that way.

You just have to meet him.
Why don't you join us sometime?

He's great. And I think you guys
would really hit it off.

Hmm... Okay, then.

[gasps]
Really?

[chuckles]
That's great!

So, Iida saw your picture
and he told me he thinks you're cute.

How about that?

I was so happy to hear him
complimenting you like that.

I respect you so much, you know?

Because you're strong-willed
and you speak your mind.

What's gotten into you?

Yuki, I want to thank you
for sticking with me.

Oh, my god. Who are you telling?

You're the only one
I can call a true friend.

[chuckles]
I really don't understand why, though.

[buzzes]

IIDA: Oh.

Iida, hi. Sorry, we're late.

And this is Yuki.

It's a pleasure. Yuki, hi.

Rina's told me a lot about you, of course.
She tells me you're her best friend.

I'd be lying if I said otherwise.

[ladies chuckle]

-IIDA: Have a seat.
-RINA: Okay.

Mm.

Rina wasn't kidding.
You're even more beautiful in person.

Isn't she?
[chuckles]

Look, I'm not at all.

Here we are, this is Iida,
who always takes good care of me.

He's got style and substance,
so of course, I love him.

IIDA [chuckles]:
You're making me blush.

Ah, so, Rina and I have a--

Oh, Rina told me about your relationship.

Oh, I see.

A toast to the three of us.

Cheers, guys.

-RINA: Cheers!
-YUKI: Cheers!

-Oh, that looks delicious!
-Huh?

-This?
-The bread.

It's over in the first section.

-I didn't even see that.
-[both chuckle]

-Wanna go sit back there?
-Sure.

What are these? Rolled eggs?

I don't know, maybe.

People use them all the time
in my company.

I hear that's common in real estate.

My boss is five years older than me,
but he uses English words here and there.

Like "agenda," "consensus," as well.

Oh, and "evidence," too.

Oh, for sure.
[chuckles]

I think I know someone around that age
who loves using English words.

But it's always so much easier
to understand them in Japanese.

YUKI: I totally agree.

[both chuckle]

Excuse me a sec.

-IIDA: Sure.
-YUKI: Okay.

RINA: I guess should probably be happy

since I'm the one who asked Yuki
to come, but...

I think I know someone around that age
who loves using English words.

RINA: If she does know someone like that,
she never told me.

I'm always the one who's going on and on,
so I never wind up hearing much about her.

[cell phone buzzes]

NEW MESSAGE

YUDAI: THANK YOU FOR YESTERDAY!
LET'S HANG OUT AGAIN.

YUDAI: How about drinks with Shohei?
Want to join us?

Of course not, no.

RINA: They just want to go to a hotel.

DELETED

Isn't Rina's birthday coming up?

Yeah.

I really want to surprise her
with something.

-Mm.
-You think you can help me?

-Sure.
-[chuckles]

Okay, so, can I get your contact info?

Ah, that was delicious, right?

-Yeah.
-[chuckles]

Hey, Iida, you know,
I really feel like going shopping.

Okay.

-Come with, Yuki.
-Oh.

That's okay. You two go ahead.
I... I have a paper due.

Oh, right.

Hey, thanks for coming, Yuki.

Thanks a lot for the meal.

-See you later. Bye-bye!
-See you.

-Bye-bye.
-[chuckles]

[cell phone buzzes]

NEW MESSAGE

IIDA

IIDA: Thanks for today. And I hope
you'll help me with Rina's birthday.

[cell phone buzzes]

IIDA: Any ideas for presents?

YUKI: How about a watch?

I know she wants one.

IIDA: Watches are kind of hard
to pick out.

YUKI: Rina likes bright, vivid colors.

Like rose gold
or elaborate floral designs.

FIORAY JAPAN OFFICIAL STORE

IIDA: You're amazing, Yuki.

I'd love to see the actual thing,
think you could come with me?

I just want to make her happy.

RINA: Hey, Iida, what are you doing?

Oh, I'm sorry, business stuff.

Ahh.

Ah.

Rina, I had a great time. Thanks.

Likewise, Iida.

Okay. See you.

Uh, wait a second.

You, uh, haven't...

Ah, I'm so sorry!

I totally forgot.
You should've reminded me earlier.

Oh.

Sorry, I don't have a lot on me.
Is this okay for today?

Mm, I appreciate it.

See you.

[car engine revving]

[overlapping chatter]

Hi, guys! Sorry, I'm late!

Hey, Rina, how are you?
We've been waiting for a while.

Sorry, guys.

Hey, over there. She's looking at you.
Takagi, turn around.

Hey, what?

Uh, why is he here?

RUMI: Uh, today is with Joukei University.
Or did you forget?

YUDAI: What? The egg soup was gone?

Dude, you're practically addicted.

Sorry, I should be helping.

Here, I got that.
[chuckles]

Hey, Rina, don't worry about it.
I'll do it.

Oh, thanks a lot.

Rina, here.

Okay, so where have you been?
Out with someone?

Nothing like that,
I don't have a boyfriend.

-For real?
-You're not dating anyone?

How about me, then?

Actually, I'm crazy.
So I'd stay away if I were you.

-[laughs]
-She'd mess you up.

TAKAGI: Hey, we got big news!

Saeki saw Nanami working at a hostess bar.

-What?
-Hey!

She gets 500K a month.

Five hundred thousand yen a month?

It's got to be great
to get that easy money.

If you work there or have a sugar daddy,

you get cash
just to have meals with those guys.

-TAKAGI: That's dope!
-DAIKI: True that.

It's not like just anyone
can make money that way.

Good point. I'm sure it's not so easy.

Don't tell me you do it, too.

Huh? Of course, I don't.

Well, I've noticed
she's always wearing new clothes.

And how many bags do you own?

Oh, I got this on OfferUp.
They always have good deals.

Mm-hm.

TAKAGI: Oh, by the way,

you have a super pretty friend
with black hair, don't you?

Yeah.

Well, I'm pretty sure she does it, too.

I think someone saw her walking
and holding hands with an old man.

KATSUYA: I heard that, too.
Everyone knows.

-TAKAGI: Right?
-RUMI: Hey, Rina, she's your friend.

Do you think it's true?

Yuki would never do that.

TAKAGI: Isn't it crazy, though,
that Nanami works in a place like that?

KATSUYA: Let's check it out.

-We should just show up there one night.
-DAIKI: Dude, that'd be hilarious...

YUDAI: Hey.

Hi.

I'm going to have a cigarette. Wanna come?

Mm.

Okay. It's your turn.

You're okay ditching the party?

I was really bored. Weren't you?

I'm actually not a fan of huge parties
with lots of drinking.

At first, I said I wouldn't go.

But they kept talking on and on
about how I really needed to go.

But no one actually cares if I'm there.

I just go so people will like me.

But I still feel lonely, anyway,
no matter how many people are there.

Rina, you're dating anyone?

No, I'm not. If I was,
I wouldn't have had a threesome.

Are you seeing anyone?

Nah, I'm still single.

Even though you get all the girls,
like, right now?

That's harsh.

Women must fall at your feet
when you say the name of your school.

You remember the other day?
You left me like I was nothing.

You decided. It was your choice
to come with us that night, right?

You also didn't say no
when I asked you to come just now.

What do you want me to do?

Okay.

We won't just go to some hotel today.

No sex at all.

Let's go walk around
and look at the lights.

We'll head home before the last train.

So?

Wow! It's gorgeous!

YUDAI: It's been a while
since I've had a real date.

RINA: Mm.

Hey, you remember the girl
who turned you down the other day?

YUDAI: Mm. Kind of.

RINA: Well, she...

Yuki is pretty much the only real friend
I have at this point.

She always stays true
to what she believes.

She's really strong and confident.

She's super smart,
and not to mention, pretty.

Isn't she great?

[chuckles]

I just love her to death.

And I wish I could be a lot more like her.

I have all these sugar daddies.

And it's not just for the free food.

As long as he's rich and not too terrible,

I'll sleep with any man,
even if he's the same age as my dad.

Isn't that gross?

Not really.

Huh?

I bet everyone works
at hostess clubs or brothels.

They just don't say it.

Girls need money for clothes and makeup.

I can't honestly say
I wouldn't do the same thing.

If I was old and have nothing but money.

I just don't think
I can stop living like this, you know?

That's why I admire
and envy someone like Yuki,

she's just always thinking
about her future.

And studying hard for it.

If I'm being honest, I don't see
what's wrong with your lifestyle.

I don't exactly live a noble life either,
and I don't have any ambition.

I just sit back
and try to let myself go with the flow.

I feel at ease when I'm around you.

What made you say that?

I'll go to a hotel with you.

-[chuckles]
-What the...

YUDAI: No hotel, remember?
I already promised you.

[upbeat music]

YUDAI: So, how about a movie next time?

I can take you home after.

RINA: Then let's see something romantic.

YUDAI: Sounds good.

[Rina chuckles]

RINA: I actually caught
the last train home.

YUDAI: Did you get home safe?

RINA: Yep, I'm home now.

[Rina chuckles]

It was so nice.

RINA: It was amazing
how it felt exactly like a first date.

Even though we've already slept together.

[whines]
What am I doing?

This isn't me. I'm not this person.

RINA: Relying on other people
to make me happy is a bad idea.

It makes way more sense for me
to use time, love, and money

to my advantage.

After my bath,
I'll use my favorite face mask.

And then I'll give myself a gel manicure.

The message you sent me on the app
was really sweet.

-It made you sound like a real gentleman.
-[chuckles]

I could tell you're the faithful type.

That's very kind of you.

[cell phone buzzes]

Uh, excuse me. Business email.

SANAE

WHEN DO YOU HAVE TIME?



HAIRDRESSER: Rina,
isn't your birthday this month?

Mm-hm.

You have any big plans yet?

-I have someone to share it with.
-[gasps]

It's my 20th birthday,

and I know with him there,
it's just going to be absolutely perfect.

Hey, all right!

NEW MESSAGE

IIDA: Sorry, but a client meeting
just got scheduled on your birthday.

Huh?

IIDA: I'll make it up to you.

He turned me down.
Something came up at work.

That hurts.

Are you dating?

No, not really. But I just...

RINA: I really thought that Iida
would completely clear his schedule

for my birthday.

RINA: I'm at that darts bar you like.

Are you coming today?

YUDAI

[line rings]

Hey, what's up?

-[ladies laughing over phone]
-YUDAI: What's going on, Rina?

Yudai, actually...

WOMAN [over phone]:
Yudai, where are you going?

[indistinct shouting]

Never mind. Sorry to bother you
while you're having fun.

YUDAI: Wait, what? Are you mad at me?

Sorry, it's really loud.
I'm at drinks right now.

RINA: Okay. Bye.

[cell phone buzzes]

MASAYUKI:
Are you still available on the 13th?

Can I make an appointment
from 3 p.m. to 8?

Check out this moon, by the way.



[cell phone buzzes]

RINA

Hey, what's up?

RINA: Yuki, can you talk right now?

Mm-hm.

Are you free on the 13th?

Mm-hm. Do you wanna grab a bite to eat?

Yeah, I do! Thanks a lot! See you.

See you.

[exhales sharply]

[closing theme music]

YUKI: Hey, Masayuki, I'm sorry,
but I have plans that day.

It's my friend's birthday,
and I promised her I'd be there.

That moon looks so beautiful.

MASAYUKI: No worries at all,
and have fun with your friend.

I hope both of you have a great time.
I'll text you later.

YUKI: Thank you, sounds good!



Hi. Good morning!

Oh, hey.

Oh, Rina, hi. Did you see the group chat?

SAORI: Isn't that crazy?

RUMI: Isn't it?

I FOUND THIS!

YUKI [19]

What's this?

WOW, HOW SHADY

WHERE IS THIS PLACE? CAN I SLEEP WITH HER?

RINA, YOU DIDN'T KNOW?

IS THIS FOR REAL?
