[tense music playing]

So, do I ask for Rio, too?
[chuckles]

I'm just kidding.

[chuckles]

Sorry.

[Hayato] Nice one, Dong Kyu!

He chickened out and said it was a joke.

-He did.
-[all chuckling]

Okay, so the thing is...

I think I'm starting to develop
real feelings for Rio.

[Ji Hyuk] So I'd like to
get to know her better.

[Tae Gyun] Right.

I mean...

these feelings kind of crept up on me

and I didn't even realize it.

Considering all that,

I'm not crazy about the idea of

giving her up to someone else.

[Haruna exclaims]

[Tae Gyun] Well, that's a problem.

What do I do?

I'm interested in Rio, but...

I'm not sure what to do.
I'm feeling a bit lost.

[gentle music playing]

Ji Hyuk explained himself so clearly,
I don't know if I can.

[a-chan] He hasn't spent
much time with her yet.

-[Haruna] Yeah.
-[Maria] True.

Maybe you should think on it some more.

-[Dong Kyu] All done.
-I'm trying not to eavesdrop.

-[Dong Kyu] I've decided.
-It's over?

-[Won Shik] No, but I've decided.
-Oh.

-[Won Shik] We weren't the problem.
-I see.

YUKO FUEKI

[Won Shik] Hungry?

[Ayano] I'm thirsty.

[all actresses] Cheers!

[Honoka] I'm kinda nervous.
[chuckles]

So...

-how will they decide?
-[Rio] Who knows.

Who are they gonna choose?

I feel like the guys are putting
a lot of importance

on the initial pairing. Like its fate.

-[Rio] Totally.
-Yeah.

-I don't think they'll change the pairs.
-[Rio] I guess.

Maybe Korean guys are more devoted?

[Nozomi] Devoted? Yeah, they're not
like Japanese guys.

Yeah. Our countries aren't far away,

but the guys are so different.

-[all laughing]
-[Nozomi] Right? It's funny.

Our countries are so close to each other.

-I just hope I'm not left out.
-[Honoka] What?

Left out? You mean
you don't wanna be the last one chosen.

[Nozomi] If they choose the same person...

[Honoka] Imagine you're so happy
to be chosen and it turns out

-it's because everyone else was taken.
-[Ayano] Oh, no.

I'm gonna ask who he chose first.

[Nozomi] Like, who did he really
wanna be paired with?

Yeah.

Ever since we first made the pairs,

Ayano has been the person
I've spent the most time with.

We rehearsed together, acted together,

we've gotten to know each other.

[Tae Gyun] I've talked to her
more than anyone else.

She's the one I feel like I know the best.

But on the other hand, I haven't had
much of a chance to talk to Rio...

so I'm curious about her.

I wasn't expecting this, that's for sure.

Look, I'm pretty set
on pairing up with Rio.

Okay, yeah...

but I want to pair up with her too.

So what do we do?

Rock-paper-scissors?

That's how you wanna settle this?

How about arm wrestling?

No way. I wouldn't stand a chance.

-[studio cast chuckling]
-[Haruna] That's so cute.

-[a-chan] Rock-paper-scissors is fairer.
-[Haruna] Yeah, seriously.

Okay, then...

You two decide.

-[Tae Gyun] Yeah.
-I think that's the best way to do this.

[Ji Hyuk] You wanna talk it over privately
and let us know?

[Won Shik] This was bound
to happen eventually.

It was only a matter of time
before two of us chose the same person.

It was inevitable.

Sometimes feelings just happen.

You feel attraction, you fall in love.

You can't help it.

It's not fair to only give
Ji Hyuk a chance, you know?

[Dong Kyu] But he seems
really serious about this.

[tense music playing]

-Let's go.
-[Shusuke] They've decided.

[a-chan] What's the verdict?

[approaching footsteps]

[Won Shik] So, we've decided.

[Ayano] We're back.

[Yuko] Welcome back, ladies.

Could I have you all over here, please?

[Nozomi] What? Are we lining up?

We will now announce the pairings
as decided by the men.

[suspenseful ticking]

[Yuko] All right.

-So pair number one.
-[actress] Yeah.

Won Shik has chosen...

Honoka.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Honoka] Should I sit next to him?

[Yuko] Yes.

[Honoka] Okay, hi.

It's really nice to see you again.

Yeah.

Pair number two. Dong Kyu has chosen...

-Nozomi.
-Okay.

[chuckles]

[Yuko] Pair number three.
Tae Gyun has chosen...

[suspenseful thumping]

-[Yuko] Rio.
-Oh.

-[chuckles]
-[studio cast exclaims]

[bright music playing]

Hi.

Well, that's how it worked out.
[chuckles]

What can I say? It's a shame.

It's a real shame.

30 MINUTES EARLIER

[Won Shik] So, we've decided.

We know how you must be feeling.

But we thought Tae Gyun
should get a chance too.

[Dong Kyu] It's possible our pairings
are gonna keep changing, right?

Day by day, week by week,
anything can happen.

We don't know
how our feelings will develop

as we continue
to get to know them, you know?

So, this time, we thought
it should be Tae Gyun.

[Won Shik] Yeah.

I see. Okay.

I'm really sorry.

-[Ji Hyuk] No, no, no. Don't be.
-I'm sorry.

-It's fine.
-[Tae Gyun] Sorry.

Sorry.

Let's not tell the others
about this, okay?

I don't think Ayano should know.

[Tae Gyun] Okay.

[a-chan] Oh, that's great!

I love that they're working together.

And pair number four.

Ji Hyuk has chosen Ayano.

-Thank you.
-[Yuko] Go ahead.

[bright music playing]

You can see the disappointment
on the guy's face.

I was called last,

so I was worried
no one wanted to pair with me.

Yeah, I was worried.

Tae Gyun and I have been talking so much

over the last few days, so...

I... Well...

I was really hoping to pair up
with him again for the auditions.

-[studio cast surprised exclaims]
-[Hayato] Really?

[a-chan] I'm surprised.

The pairs for Episode 2 of the drama
have now been decided.

Time to get to work.
The auditions will be tomorrow evening.

-Okay.
-All right.

[Yuko] I'm looking forward
to the auditions.

Have a great day.

-And good luck!
-[overlapping chatter]

[Nozomi in Japanese] Thank you.

[in English]
How did you decide?

I mean, how did you choose?

I don't speak Japanese.

[women laughing]

Come on. We should
get rehearsing. Let's go.

Do you want to go to the café?

-Hm?
-The café?

Okay. The café, yeah.

-Wanna eat?
-Yeah.

Let's go.

REHEARSALS

[Rio] Do you like coffee?

[Tae Gyun] Oh yeah,
I love coffee, it's so good.

-[Rio] You love it?
-[Tae Gyun] Yeah.

[both in Korean]
"I never would've left your side."

"I never would've left your side."

[in English] Are you sure
you're not Korean?

-Oh!
-[Ji Hyuk] Well, you're Korean now.

[in Korean] "I never
would've left your side."

I can't decide, it all looks good.

Well, you've got to choose something.

[Dong Kyu] There was this restaurant
that Nozomi wanted to go to.

So, obviously, I wanted to go with her.

Nozomi, she's definitely the one

who caught my attention
the most out of the four.

[in Korean] Let's rehearse after lunch.

[in English] Yeah, for sure.

Can I have a drink with lunch?

-Hey, I got our bus cards.
-[Honoka] Oh!

This one's for you.

-Honoka.
-Oh, thank you. Thanks a lot.

[Won Shik] Being with Honoka
just feels comfortable.

I want to keep talking with her,
eating with her, rehearsing with her.

I paired up with her because I figured
I could find out how she feels about me.

-[Haruna] Oh, he's quick.
-[a-chan] Oh, wow!

He already has feelings for her, you guys.

HONOKA:
HOW DID YOU DECIDE ON THE PAIRS?

[Won Shik] Mm.

WON SHIK:
IT'S A SECRET

A secret. It's a secret? Okay.

[in Korean] Do you want to know?

WON SHIK:
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?

Hm.

[in Korean] I chose you right away.

Oh!

HONOKA:
TO MAKE UP FOR THE FIRST AUDITION?

[in English] No, it's not about that.

It's not about making up for it.

-It isn't?
-No.

[in Korean] I want to
get to know you better.

WON SHIK:
I WANT TO GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER

[sweet music playing]

[chuckles]

[a-chan] That's so sweet!

[Haruna] The romance is blooming.

[Honoka] How many more stops?

[Won Shik in Japanese] Wait a little.

-[Honoka in Japanese] Wait a little.
-[Won Shik] Wait a little.

-[Honoka] Wait up.
-[Won Shik] Wait up.

[Honoka laughs]

Wait up.

It's pretty.

[in Korean] I like places with atmosphere.

I like riding the bus on rainy days.

WON SHIK:
I LIKE RIDING THE BUS ON RAINY DAYS

[Won Shik]
The droplets on the window are pretty.

HONOKA:
I WAS BORN IN JAPAN'S RAINY SEASON

[Honoka in Japanese] I was born
in Japan's rainy season.

[Won Shik in Korean] Really?

When is your birthday?

HONOKA:
JUNE 5TH

[Honoka in Korean] Six... month.

-[Won Shik] June?
-[Honoka] "June."

[Honoka] On June 5th.

I'll remember it.

-Oh.
-[chuckles]

Really?
[chuckles]

ITAEWON

[in English] Oh, all done.

That was fast.

You must have had this much.

-[Nozomi laughs]
-[Dong Kyu] I had this much.

I love wine.
I always drink too much of it.

[Nozomi] Is this going to be enough?

[Dong Kyu] I'll order some more.

More meat, please.

[chuckles]

Okay.

Should we get a menu?

[in Korean] By the way, did you know
I was going to choose you?

DONG KYU: DID YOU KNOW
I WAS GOING TO CHOOSE YOU?

Did you predict it?

-Huh?
-Did you predict it?

[in Japanese] That's what you said
on LINE.

[both chuckling]

TWO DAYS EARLIER

-[Ayano] That was so good!
-[Honoka] Thanks for the food!

[Nozomi] It was nothing, no worries.

[Nozomi chuckles]

I got it.

No, we'll do it together.

-[Dong Kyu] Uh...
-[chuckles]

DONG KYU:
EPISODE 2 IS OURS. WE CAN DO IT!

[Nozomi] Oh!

[Maria] He's adorable!

He did tell her before he chose!

He's so cute!

So cute!

-[in Japanese] Ichi, ni, san, shi,... yon?
-...san, shi, go. Go!

-Go! Shi... Ichi, ni, san, yon.
-Ichi, ni, san, yon...

-Go, roku, nana, hachi, kyu, ju.
-Go, roku, nana, hachi, kyu, ju.

-Juichi...
-Juichi...

-Sanjunana, sanjuhachi, sanjukyu,
-...nana, sanjuhachi, sanjukyu,

-yonju.
-yonju.

Hm.
[chuckles]

[lively music playing]

NOZOMI:
HOW DID YOU CHOOSE?

DONG KYU:
IT'S A SECRET

[in English] What? Why?

[Dong Kyu] I like soju.

NOZOMI: MAYBE YOU'LL TALK
AFTER A FEW MORE DRINKS

[in Korean] You'll know once this airs.

DONG KYU:
I ONLY GET DRUNK OFF SOJU

[chuckles]

[Ji Hyuk] So, what were your thoughts
going into this?

[Ayano] Well, I figured doing a K-Drama
would be a great experience

and a lot of fun.

I wanted to try acting in one
and maybe I'd find love at the same time.

You never know, right?

-[Ji Hyuk] Oh.
-[Ayano laughs]

Hey, is it only older men
who use this gesture?

Oh, like when you're saying
"No, not at all"?

It's fine.

It's fine, you can do it too.

When's the last time you were in love?

In love? Hm...

it was about a year ago.

Oh.

[Ji Hyuk] It's been a while for me.

-Four years.
-Wow, yeah.

That's a long time.

[both laughing]

GWANGJANG MARKET

[Ji Hyuk] Okay, here we are.

[Ayano] I love it. This place is amazing.

[Hayato] Gwangjang Market.

[Haruna] Wow, Gwangjang Market.

-[Ji Hyuk] All right, let's go.
-[Ayano] Let's go.

[Ji Hyuk] If there's anything
you want to try,

-just let me know.
-[Ayano] Oh, great!

[Ji Hyuk] Yeah.

-Let's look around a bit before we choose.
-[Ayano] Okay.

[Ayano] It smells amazing.

[Ji Hyuk] There's oden, uh,
tteokbokki, tempura, uh...

-Buchimgae is really good, too.
-[Ayano excited exclaim]

[Ayano] Amazing. I can't wait to try.

Wow!

-[Ji Hyuk] Now I'm getting hungry.
-[Ayano] For real? So am I.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thanks.

[Ayano] That looks delicious.

-[Ji Hyuk] Here, help yourself.
-[Ayano] Okay.

-Hm.
-Do you like it?

It looks like the two of us
are sitting in front of a green screen.

[bright music playing]

-Thanks.
-Would you like a coke to drink?

[Rio] Sure.

Great.

-Oh, wait, was this supposed to be...
-Oh! You know what?

-...part of the set?
-We need beer.

-[laughs]
-[Tae Gyun] Beer. Beer...

[Tae Gyun laughs]
Where is the beer?

[Rio laughs]

[Rio] We drink too much.

[Tae Gyun] Beer? Beer.

[Rio] No way, are we out?

We are.

[Tae Gyun] Beer?

[Rio] That's so sad.

Thanks for the food.

Thanks for the food.

No, thank you for the food.

[laughs] You're welcome?

[both chuckling]

-Okay.
-I studied Japanese, you know?

I did.

[bright music playing]

Have you ever been to Japan?

[phone in Korean] Have you ever...

Japan... come?

[in Japanese] Yeah. Um... Tokyo is best.

-[Tae Gyun] Like the coffee...
-Coffee shops?

[Tae Gyun] Coffee...

It's really good.

-[Rio in English] Yeah?
-Yeah.

-[Rio] Really?
-Mm-hmm.

-Sure.
-You think so?

[in Japanese] The coffee in Tokyo...

-is great.
-[laughs]

It's really good.

[in English] I think the coffee here
in Korea tastes better.

[phone in Korean]
I think it tastes better in Korea.

-Oh?
-[Rio] Hm?

[laughs]

[Rio in English] Talking with him was fun.

I wasn't expecting him
to speak Japanese with me.

He was trying to accommodate me.

Even when he was
searching for the right word,

I really enjoyed talking with him.

[in Korean] Today...

[Tae Gyun in Japanese] "Today."

-Hm.
-[Tae Gyun] Hm.

[in English] We had the longest
conversation we've ever had.

[phone in Korean] We had the longest
conversation we've ever had.

[in Japanese] Um...

Ayano, Honoka, Nozomi...

I talked... a lot.

-[Rio] Yeah.
-Yeah.

Um... with Rio, no talk.

-Mm.
-[Rio in English] Right, yeah.

[Tea Gyun in Japanese] Um...

[in English] Communication is...

[phone in Japanese] Essential.
Important. Precious.

-[in English] That's true.
-[Tae Gyun in Japanese] "Im-port-ant?"

-Important.
-Yeah, "important."

[Tae Gyun in Korean]
Because we are a team.

[phone in Japanese] Because we are a team.

-[in Japanese] Yeah.
-[in English] Is that right?

-[chuckles]
-[phone in Korean] Are you cheering me up?

[laughs]

[Tae Gyun] What?

[both laughing]

[bright cheerful music playing]

[Honoka] Thank you.

Let's eat.

[Won Shik] Yeah, let's eat.

Oh, it's hard.

-[Honoka] Oh!
-You like it?

[Honoka] Yeah, it's delicious.

Whoa, wait! Wait a second! Hold it!

Hang on. Hang on. Wow! Amazing!

[Won Shik] You're a pro.

In Japan, eating deep-fried pork cutlets
is said to bring good luck.

Right, they're the same word in Japanese.

-[in Japanese] "Katsu."
-Katsu.

[in English] Yay! [chuckles]

[Nozomi] Dong Kyu, when's your birthday?

-[Dong Kyu] My birthday?
-[Nozomi] Yeah.

[in Japanese] Ichi, ni, san, shi... yo.

Go.

Go...

-Roku.
-Roku.

-Roku?
-Roku.

[in English] Same?

[Nozomi] No.

Nine.

-Nai?
-Nine.

-[in Japanese] Ku.
-Ku. Ah.

[in English] Why?

[Nozomi] I don't know why,

but most of the guys I like
are born in June.

It makes me wonder if that's just
the kind of guy I fall for.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

[Nozomi] This is the place?

-[Dong Kyu] Yeah.
-[Nozomi] Wow!

-[Nozomi] It looks so magical in the rain.
-[Dong Kyu] Yeah.

[gentle music playing]

[Dong Kyu] I think that's where
they shot Itaewon Class.

[Nozomi] So do you often take
the girls you like up here

to admire the view?

[Dong Kyu] Well, if you're
with someone you like...

are you really looking at the view?

[Nozomi] Oh, I wasn't trying to fish for
a compliment or anything.

Oh, no, no, no, no...

[gentle sweet music playing]

-[Dong Kyu in Japanese] Roku...
-[Nozomi laughs]

[Nozomi in English] Is this gonna be
a thing forever?

TAE GYUN:
WAS THAT MOVEMENT OKAY?

[Tae Gyun] Was that okay?

[Rio] Yeah, it was good.

RIO:
THE SCRIPT IS NOT IMPORTANT. LOVE IS.

[laughs]

Whoa, that's so deep.

Teach me.
[chuckles]

You're so wise!

[laughs]

[in Korean] "I see."

"If this is what you want."

Oh, that last part, that was really good.

The "If this is what you want"
pronunciation was great.

Wow.

NOZOMI: LET'S BOOST OUR AFFECTIONS
FOR TOMORROW!

DONG KYU:
I AGREE

[gentle sweet music continues playing]

[Honoka laughs]

I thought the language barrier
would cause issues for them,

but they're finding their own ways
to overcome it

and get to know one another.

It's fascinating to watch
how everyone's connecting.

The way they're working so hard
to communicate with each other.

-[Shusuke] It's really nice.
-It's adorable.

Yeah, you can tell
they're really getting along.

It's even more obvious
when you don't speak the same language.

I'm, like, blushing just from
watching them, it's so cute.

And romantic.

I'm loving how proactive
the guys are being.

-[Maria] Yeah, it's so nice.
-[a-chan] Totally.

They're saying these lovely things
and they're not shy about it.

-[Hayato] Hm.
-They say what they mean.

Nozomi and Dong Kyu are basically
a couple already, don't you think?

Those two are totally into each other.

She's talking about
how it's written in the stars.

-[laughter]
-Even the June birthday.

Good morning.

All pairs, please line up
in front of the desk. Thank you.

SEOUL INSTITUTE OF THE ARTS
FORMER PROFESSOR HWANG DOO JIN

When I saw the previous auditions,
I was disappointed.

The men especially needed a lot of work.

They weren't even close
to reaching their full potential.

I don't want to see any nervousness today.

This isn't the time, nor the place,
for timid performances.

Instead, I wanna see strong choices.
I wanna see them take charge,

command the room
and match their scene partners.

All right, we'll begin the auditions now.

Good luck, everyone.

[all in Korean] Okay.

[low suspenseful music playing]

[narrator] Todays' audition
is a climactic kissing scene

between a man and a woman
who have overcome

many obstacles in their relationship.

[Yuko] First to audition,
we have Ayano and Ji Hyuk.

You jerk.

If you'd told me,

I never would have left your side.

SCENE 10
THE WOMAN FINDS THE MISSING MAN

Well, I...

I would have lost my honor.

Who cares about that? We loved each other!

I bought some ramen.

[Ji Hyuk] Wanna join me?

Hm.

Yeah.

[Ji Hyuk] So...

what are you waiting for then?

SCENE 10
SHE LEAPS INTO HIS ARMS AND THEY KISS

[Ayano squeals]

[suspenseful music playing]

You jerk. If you had told me,

I never would have left your side.

[Tae Gyun] Well, I...

I would have lost my honor.

Who cares about that? We loved each other!

[Tae Gyun] I bought some ramen.

Want to...

want to join me?

[chuckles softly]

Yeah.

[both chuckling]

If you had told me,
I never would have left your side.

Well, I would have lost my honor.

[Nozomi] Who cares about that?

We loved each other!

[Dong Kyu] I bought some ramen.

Wanna join me?

Hm.

Yeah.

So what are you waiting for then?

[Nozomi chuckles]

[chuckles, sniffles]

[Dong Kyu sighs]

[suspenseful music playing]

You're such a jerk!

If you had told me,
I never would have left your side.

Well, I would have lost my honor.

Who cares about that? We loved each other.

Look...

I bought some ramen.

[Won Shik] Wanna join me?

[chuckles softly]

Hm. Yeah!

So what are you waiting for then?

[Honoka squeals]

[Yuko claps once]
Thank you very much.

-[Haruna] She was so expressive.
-Yeah, she really was.

The two of us will now deliberate.
Please wait here.

[suspenseful music playing]

I thought they all showed
great improvement.

What do you think?

Once again, Rio's acting skills stood out.

[Doo Jin] I appreciated
how she really searched for him

at the beginning of the scene.

She set the tone very well
and had clear motivations. I believed her.

[Yuko] I agree.

[Doo Jin] It's a shame
her scene partner didn't match her.

In my opinion, Tae Gyun showed
no reaction whatsoever.

I didn't believe him.

True. What did you think
of the first pair?

Ayano and Ji Hyuk.

The first pair played the ending.
Especially Ji Hyuk.

[Doo Jin] He emanated this aura of
"I'm about to kiss her"

the entire time.

He began and ended
in the same emotional place.

There was no arc to the scene, no journey.

It was unfortunate.

I think Won Shik was
the strongest of the men today.

He was shy at the beginning,
that was a nice choice.

He built up the courage
to invite her to share the ramen

and his face lit up when she accepted.

It was a clear journey for the character
and supported the scene.

The two actors were clearly
attuned to each other

and worked well together.
It was very good.

I also thought that
Nozomi was very good today.

-She impressed me.
-[Doo Jin] Indeed.

I was watching the pairs closely
for the journey of the scene,

the important emotional shift.

[Doo Jin] Nozomi and Dong Kyu
demonstrated that to me.

Their performance was good.

Nozomi really stood out to me.
I loved her work.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Haruna] Who are they gonna choose?

-What's going to happen?
-Who will it be?

I will now announce the results

and name the pair
we've selected to star in the drama.

The lead roles go to...

[suspenseful music playing]

...Honoka and Won Shik. Good work.

[studio cast exclaims]

Thank you so, so much.

[Won Shik] Thank you.

Thank you so much.

[Honoka] Thank you.

-[Shusuke] That's got to sting. I get it.
-[Haruna] They all look so disappointed.

[Haruna] But at least they got
good feedback.

[Shusuke] I thought they were great.

[Maria] Nozomi was Yuko's favorite.

-[Haruna] Yeah.
-You've all shown significant improvement.

Compared to the first auditions,
I could tell you prepared the material

and made strong choices.

[Yuko] Good job, everyone.

Honoka and Won Shik.
You both did excellent work today.

[Doo Jin] I noticed a marked improvement
from the first audition.

Your performances
stood out from the others.

You connected with each other
and showed a different interpretation

of the scene from the other pairs.

[Yuko] Yes, you did something new.
That was a good impulse.

It was refreshing to watch.

All of you improved since the last time,

and I could tell you were more relaxed.

You didn't let your nerves
get the better of you.

[emotional music playing]

[Yuko] Best of luck, you two.

I look forward to seeing your work.

Now then, Honoka.

The second episode is another love story
but this time it features a love triangle,

two men fall in love with the same woman.

Oh, I see.

Two men?

One more guy.

[Yuko] In this episode,
you'll be doing an intense kissing scene

with each of the two men.

[a-chan] Both of them?

EPISODE 2
"SHE IS THE ONE"

[narrator] This drama is all about
a love triangle.

THE TWO SHARE AN INTENSE KISS

The protagonist shares a passionate kiss

with each of the two men,

shaking her to her core.

HE THROWS AWAY THE BAG,
STROKES NANA'S CHEEK, AND KISSES HER

And the one who will get to decide
who plays the other man is...

Honoka.

[gasps]

[Yuko] Gentlemen,
Honoka will get to decide

who plays the other man in the scene.

[gasps]

[suspenseful music playing]

What?

Are you serious?

I think this is going to turn into
a real-life love triangle pretty soon.

Yeah, it's about to get real
with all this drama.

[Shusuke] Oh, you're right.

Honoka, please take a step forward.

What? Right now?

Are you kidding me?

[Yuko] Do you need some time
to think it over?

[Honoka] Actually...

[Haruna] Wait, what?

Won Shik, he's not actually...

the guy I'm most interested in.

[intense suspenseful music playing]

[shrieks]

[Maria] Who then?

[Haruna] Yeah, which one?

[Hayato] Who is it?

[Shusuke] Is this for real?

[intense music playing]
