01x07 - Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice But To Be A Boyfriend!

[bunniefuu]

Making the people around me happy was my greatest joy.

Um, I was wondering if you could go out with me.

Oh...

Sure.

Wait, really?

I'm so glad! Thanks, Naoya!

Yeah.

I wanted to be happy with everyone.

So, instead of focusing on my happiness,

I always did things to please others.

Sharing my happiness is more fun.

However, others didn't feel the same way.

I sold the rare card Naoya gave me for three times the price.

What a useful guy.

He can get you any rare card you want.

He's a legend.

I'm going to college in Osaka, so let's break up.

It'll be good for us.

Okay, got it.

Aren't you going to object to it? Bye then.

Then what did you want me to do?

Always keeping my guard up or getting disappointed was a bit tiring.

Oh, Naoya!

Hey, the afternoon class will be held in a different room.

Right.

- Let's go.
- Time to go.

Where'd you run off to alone?

Mugi is in his own world and Saku lives by his own rules.

I feel comfortable whenever I'm with them,

because they don't rely on others.

It's really cool.

And... on that day,

I met Kota.
[Sakuragaoka Gakuin University, Entrance Ceremony]

- Oh, I have somewhere to go.
- Oh, okay.

- See you.
- Bye.

See you around in college.

- See you.
- Bye.

Kota, we're in the same department.

Hang out with us too, okay?

Okay. Of course, let's hang out.

What a breath of fresh air.

I have to go over there. See you tomorrow.

- See you tomorrow.
- Bye.

After the entrance ceremony,

I happened to see Kota's smile. It was so cute.

Yes, it was exactly like

Pome-chan, the Pomeranian I used to have.

I couldn't keep my eyes off of him.

- Whoa!
- Watch out!

- Whoa!
- Watch where you're going!

Okay, I will! I'm sorry!

But for some reason,

I felt our similarity in his lovable smile.

Who the hell are you telling to be careful?

Don't you know the traffic law, you b*stard?

What the hell's with the oranges?

I'm sorry.

He captured my heart

by the sudden change in his attitude.

I couldn't stop thinking about him.

- Here, take two.
- Can I?

- Of course.
- Thank you. Stay safe.

Thank you.

She gave me rotten oranges.

♫ During the day, things aren't looking up,
and you're discouraged. Yeah! ♫

♫ No matter how tough things may be...
You can overcome them, keep it up ♫

♫ Let's go! I'm right here within your reach ♫

♫ I'll catch you when you fall into despair ♫

♫ I'm here for you. Never leave you ♫

♫ The vast world ♫

♫ Could bewilder us from time to time ♫

♫ I hope you'd never change because you're
perfect the way you are ♫

[Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to Kiss!]

Yesterday, we officially began dating as a couple.
[Episode 7: Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to be a Boyfriend

Hm? A couple?

Now that we're a couple, does anything change in between us?

What do couples even do?

Think about it. Being friends and boyfriends are completely different.

Things you can do as a couple that you can't as friends.

Is that... it?

What should I make?

These are dishes.

Oh, there are tomatoes and eggs.

I should make some coffee, too.

All right.

Wow, smells great.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- Did you make breakfast?
- Yeah.

Thanks, Kota.

I love it.

No, I'm the one who should be thanking you

for letting me stay over.

Well, can I help you with anything?

Oh. I have the coffee drip going.

- Can you pour it?
- Got it.

Thanks.

All right.

Let's eat.

What's wrong? Aren't you eating?

Oh, I'm just happy.

What?

When we eat breakfast together,

it really feels like we're dating.

Really? Friends eat together, too.

No, wait.

I guess it's more like a married couple?

Married?

I'll dig in, too.

He always says such flattery words casually.

Wow. It's good.

Nice, Kota.

A-All I did was fry everything.

It's normal.

Normal, huh?

Eating like this every morning

will be normal for us now, huh?

Every morning?

Yeah.

Oh... but I'm going home today.

What?

They fixed my ceiling.

But there's still a week left.

My landlord called me last night

and said the repair work ended earlier than expected.

Thanks for housing me until today.

I see. You're leaving.

H-Hey, don't make that face.

Kota, you can stay here a little longer.

We just became a couple again,

so you don't have to rush home.

Okay?

Oh, my god!

His attitude towards me is getting sweeter than ever.

But... I don't want to impose on you anymore.

I was actually thinking about going back home yesterday.

But we're dating now, so don't worry.

I like looking after people and being depended on.

Then...

Wait, no!

Fine then.

What?

Then just stay tonight.

Can you stay one more night?

One more night?

Yeah. I didn't know you were leaving,

so I went to bed early last night.

I'd like to spend more quality time with you.

More... quality time?

Yeah. Please, Kota.

Can you?

What's with this cute living creature?

Okay, sure.

All right!

Damn, I accidentally said okay.

[Sakuragaoka Gakuin University]

Okay, I have second period in Building 5.

Okay.

Let's enjoy ourselves tonight, okay?

Oh, um... sure.

- Bye.
- Yeah, enjoy your class.

- See you.
- Bye.

See you.

A couple... spending some quality time together.

Enjoy... tonight.

Hold on a second. What exactly are we doing tonight?

I'm sure nothing will happen.

A part of me is wishing for something...

Wait! What?

Miki got rejected the same way last year.

She was so determined this year.

She has a high standard for men.

Oh, that.

I guess I'll use it as a reference.

Oh, I asked Lord Kirari about the broken bracelet

without telling Miki.

- Okay.
- It was online counseling. And he said...

When your bracelet breaks, it is not a bad sign.

It is proof that it has protected you from bad things.

I believe it has sucked up

the evil aura around you.

Apparently, Miki was surrounded by evil aura.

Seriously? But it turned out great.

If it sacrificed itself for her,

that means her romantic luck is still intact.

In fact, Naoya is too high-level for her.

No, I think Miki's level is just as high.

Yeah, but...

That high-level guy is currently with me...

Let's enjoy ourselves tonight.

I'm scared of the nightfall.

Even if someone falls in love under false pretenses,

feelings of love grow after this happens.

I was completely out of it during my afternoon class

until I was struck by what Professor Kawahara said.

By the way, everyone,

is there anyone you want to meet no matter how tired you are?

Hm, no one comes to mind.

Someone I want to meet no matter how tired I am?

I have one.

Who?

Anna.

- Huh? Me?
- Not only in times of fatigue,

but also in times of terrible hardship,

or times of depression, the person you want to meet...

it could be the person you love.

Perhaps that could be the case.

The person you love?

The person you love...

W-What?

That is the one difference between a partner and a friend.

The difference between a partner and a friend.

The situation changes after lovers get married.

Falling in love in the first place...

is a state of psychological arousal.

In other words, there is much to gain

from that spark you feel inside.

That means I don't love anyone right now.

Me neither. When I'm tired, I want to be alone

and sleep after a nice bath.

I know what you mean.

It's true that I...

So, one way of getting that spark...

is to smooch.

"Smooch"? In this day and age?

- A kiss from a prince...
- Totally.

a princess regains consciousness in a fairly tale.

And in legal studies,

this would be considered indecent as*ault.

But in psychology, this is a very curious scene.

Now that I think about it, he...

What? Just now...

Couples normally kiss, right?

What?

Why did he suddenly kiss me back then?

My last night living here...

I'm home!

- I'm home.
- Welcome back.

What're you doing?

Oh, I'm packing.

You can do that tomorrow.

You still have one more night.

- I'm taking this.
- But...

We promised to enjoy ourselves tonight, right?

Kota.

W-Wait... What?

You're so cute when you're flustered.

What?

I told you not to laugh.

Don't worry. I promised you, didn't I?

I'll kiss your lips when you consent.

Are you keeping the promise?

Didn't you hear what Professor said today?

Without permission, it's indecent as*ault.

Then why did you... back then...

You kissed me all of a sudden.

Oh, that's...

People I've dated loved it when I did that,

so I thought you'd like it too.

What the hell?

Because your ex-girlfriends liked it,

you did that to me?

Yeah.

I'm a guy, too.

I hate to be the one who is always passive.

Hey, Naoya.

What are you doing?

A kiss, of course.

Stay still.

Wait! A kiss?

Who cares about the law?!

Shut up and give me your mouth!

Sure, here.

Aren't we kissing?

Yeah, we are.

Okay.

Go on then.

Are we not kissing?

What? Well...

I think I'm still not ready for that kind of thing.

If you can't kiss, how about we sleep together?

What? You've got the order mixed up.

Stop laughing!

What?

I'm the only one who gets to see this side of you.

Don't show it to anyone else.

No one wants to see that face, except you.

Then I'll refrain from sleeping with you,

so how about that?

That? Together?

Yeah, that.

Does he mean...

a bath together?!

I guess not.

Why are we working out?

We talked about this before.

Wow, I wish I had muscles like that.

Then let's work out together.

And if you exercise, you won't trip and fall anymore.

All right, let's sweat it out.

Here. Hold it.

- Okay.
- You ready?

Sure.

One.

Nice!

Two.

You can do it!

Come on, more!

Two more times.

Let's go.

You can do it. Is it hard?

This is really hard.

My muscles will be sore tomorrow.

But that felt kind of good.

Really? Glad to hear that.

Yeah.

Because we were exhausted from the intense workout,

we both fell asleep right away without doing anything at all.

On the next day,

I left Naoya's apartment.

I even bought matching tableware.

I'm so hungry.

Totally empty.

To the store.

What?

I am Kota Fukuhara.

My name implies happiness.

Or not.

In the end, I'm a super unlucky guy without Naoya.

♫ Let's go on this path ♫

♫ Together while holding hands ♫

♫ Let's get to know each other ♫

♫ Entirely till the day we die ♫

[PREVIEW]

It's thanks to my bad luck that I met you.

You sure are loved, Kota.

I was happy, even if it was a fake relationship.

I'm with you because I really do like you.

Compared to something invisible like luck,

being with you is far more important to me.
