00:00My name is Masato Ishikawa. My family background is a complicated one, and my parents are scums.
00:07I was tired of the terrible environment I was in, so I grabbed the little money I had and left the house.
00:13Because I wanted to go far away from home, I bought a ticket that took me the furthest away.
00:18After that, I somehow lived my life, but now I didn't have any money nor a place to stay at.
00:25I'm cold and hungry. I don't have money either. What should I do from now on?
00:33The sound of motorcycle engines. Why do I hear this many?
00:38What? What is this group of people?
00:43A female gang? A motorcycle gang? Delinquents?
00:48Leader, there's someone else who's here first.
00:51Huh? What's that?
00:53Oh, yeah. It's a kid.
00:56Who are you, kiddo?
00:58Um, I am...
01:02Why are your clothes that dirty?
01:04Huh? Um, this is...
01:07Tell me what happened.
01:09Um...
01:11Quit stuttering. Talk properly.
01:14Y-yes, ma'am. Um, so this and that happened and...
01:20Whoa! You've had it rough, huh?
01:25Want some candy? You must be hungry.
01:29Um...
01:31You have nowhere to go, right?
01:34That is true.
01:36Then why don't you come to my place?
01:39What? But won't that cause you trouble?
01:42You're just a kid. Don't worry about things like that.
01:47Besides, I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight thinking that I just left you behind.
01:52So let me help, okay?
01:55Oh, o-okay then. Thank you.
01:59Yeah. By the way, what's your name?
02:02It's Masato. Masato Ishikawa.
02:05I see. Masato. I'm Rin Fujita. Nice to meet you.
02:11A few hours later...
02:13Um, Miss Rin? I know we went through this, but is it really okay?
02:18Won't your parents be troubled if you suddenly bring home a boy like me?
02:23Parents? Don't worry about that. I live alone.
02:27What? Is that so?
02:30I didn't get along well with my parents either, you see.
02:34So I ran away from home, the same as you.
02:37Well then, let's have dinner. You could take a shower first.
02:42Am I allowed to?
02:44I wouldn't want you to be roaming around the house dirty, you know.
02:48I'll lend you my clothes.
02:50Thank you.
02:51A while later...
02:53Wow, it looks delicious!
02:56Eat up!
02:57Thank you for the food!
02:59It's delicious! I've never had homemade meals like this before in my life.
03:05That's great, then.
03:08Yes, it really is so good.
03:12Oh, that's strange. I wonder why these tears are pouring out.
03:18You must have went through a lot, really.
03:25You tried your best, didn't you?
03:29I'm embarrassed. I cried like a little child.
03:33Hey! Scoot over and make space!
03:37Huh?
03:38My body hurts when I sleep on the couch.
03:41Oh, then I'll sleep there.
03:43It's okay. You sleep here.
03:46But...
03:48Quit talking! You're just a kid, so it's okay to be selfish sometimes.
03:54Ms. Rin, why did you help me?
03:57I told you I had a similar experience with my family.
04:01The girls in my gang are all from similar families.
04:05That's why I couldn't leave you alone, Masato.
04:09You can stay here until things settle.
04:12Well now, time to sleep.
04:14Good night, Masato.
04:16Good night.
04:18I lived with Ms. Rin at her house for one week after that.
04:22The time I spent with her was full of so much fun.
04:25So different from what I had experienced before.
04:28I thought I wanted to be with her forever from now on, too.
04:31But I felt bad to cause her too much trouble.
04:34What should I do from now on?
04:37Why the troubled face?
04:39Ms. Rin...
04:41Do you miss your parents?
04:43Never.
04:45Is that so?
04:48But I thought that I shouldn't stay like this.
04:50I've been causing you too much trouble, Ms. Rin.
04:53I don't think you're causing any trouble to me.
04:56But, yeah...
04:58If you want to change the situation you are in,
05:01rely on the people around you.
05:03The people around me?
05:05The woman next door, your teacher, the administrative staffs, anyone.
05:10Use what you can.
05:12If you want to stand up and change,
05:14tell them that and move forward.
05:18And, if you've tried everything and nothing worked out,
05:22you can come back here anytime.
05:25It's about time I stopped running away, too.
05:28Huh...
05:29Seeing you, I was able to think that.
05:32Ms. Rin...
05:34I'll be graduating high school this year, too.
05:37So...
05:38It's about time I face my family.
05:41Thanks, Masato.
05:43Ms. Rin, I...
05:45I'll give you transportation money.
05:47So do your best.
05:49Yes, thank you.
05:51After that, I did just what Ms. Rin told me.
05:54Because I went back home,
05:56I relied on the people around me to talk to my parents.
05:59My teacher, the woman next door, the city officials...
06:02I wouldn't have been able to do anything alone.
06:04But, with the help of others,
06:06I was able to change the current situation I was in.
06:09Ms. Rin, I'm moving into a facility.
06:12I will be separated from my family,
06:14but I will take my time and face them again.
06:16I don't know if I can forgive them, but...
06:18Your emotions can't be changed that easily.
06:22But...
06:23I'm so proud of you, Masato.
06:26You were able to move forward.
06:28Thank you.
06:29I'm talking things out with my parents right now, too.
06:32It's important to face your problems.
06:35That's true.
06:36I realized that with my experiences this time.
06:39Well, then...
06:41I know you'll have a lot going on from now on, too.
06:44But good luck.
06:46Yes, you too, Ms. Rin.
06:48Don't try too hard, but good luck.
06:50Yep.
06:51Like this, I was able to enter high school while living in a facility.
06:55I went to university after high school and was able to graduate properly.
06:59Even during all that, I continued contacting Ms. Rin.
07:03However, because we lived far away from each other,
07:05I couldn't meet her at all.
07:07Still, her existence always supported me.
07:10After I graduated university,
07:12I started working at an apparel company.
07:14And there was a reason why I chose to work there.
07:17Masato!
07:19Ms. Rin!
07:20Congratulations on your employment!
07:23I didn't know you'd start working here at the company I was in.
07:27I heard a lot about it from you and thought it was a wonderful company.
07:31That's why I chose this place.
07:33Hahaha, yeah.
07:36Well, it is a rewarding job.
07:38And we are free to wear anything we want.
07:41And dye our hair, too.
07:43It's quite a versatile company compared to others.
07:46And it's fun working here.
07:49I'll work hard and catch up to you, Ms. Rin!
07:52Oh, are you challenging me?
07:55Try hard, then!
07:57By the way, are you free after this?
07:59I have nothing after the entrance ceremony, so I have quite a lot of time.
08:03Good!
08:04Then let's go out to drink.
08:06It's on me!
08:07Really?
08:08You're an adult now.
08:10So let's have a good time together as grown-ups.
08:13Yeah!
08:14Okay, then.
08:16Cheers!
08:17Cheers!
08:18It's been a fast six years after that, huh?
08:22Yeah, we're working before we know it.
08:25And you were this small when I first met you.
08:29I wasn't that small, was I?
08:31But I think you really tried hard.
08:35You must have went through a lot of trouble.
08:38Honestly, life at the facility was quite hard.
08:41It wasn't only fun and games.
08:43But I was able to go through all that thanks to you, Ms. Rin.
08:46Huh?
08:47Me?
08:48That's right.
08:50Because you supported me.
08:52What nice things for you to say!
08:56I was actually supported by your existence, too, Masato.
09:01Thanks to you, I was able to face my family and understand them.
09:06I'm glad that you were able to solve your problems, too.
09:09So we both tried hard, didn't we?
09:13That's true.
09:15Well, then.
09:16Another drink.
09:17A toast to our success.
09:19Excuse me.
09:21One more beer, please.
09:25Ms. Rin, you're drinking too much.
09:30Excuse me.
09:31Are you listening?
09:32I can't eat anymore.
09:36She's not listening.
09:38Well, then.
09:39I guess I'll take her home.
09:41Evil...
09:44Ms. Rin, I'm going home, okay?
09:46I'll lock the door and put the key in your mailbox, okay?
09:51Where's the key?
09:56Ms. Rin!
09:57You've really become splendid, haven't you?
10:05Really.
10:07Such a fine man.
10:12W-What does that mean?
10:18Gosh, this person...
10:20That is what I like about her, but...
10:23I can never catch up to you, Ms. Rin.
10:26Like this, I had started my new life as a member of society,
10:30and I tried my best in order to become a man good enough for Ms. Rin.
10:34I wanted to become a man that suited her and to confess my love to her,
10:38as I promised myself that one day...
10:41Hey, did you hear?
10:43Ms. Fujita is going out with Hayashi.
10:46Oh, really?
10:47Well, he is a handsome man.
10:51What?
10:52Ms. Rin has a boyfriend?
10:54I've never heard her say that before, but...
10:56It's just a rumor, right?
10:58Hey, Masato!
11:00Oh, uh, yes?
11:02Your face is pale.
11:04Uh, um...
11:06Why don't you go take a break?
11:08Th-Thank you.
11:10Uh...
11:12The rumor is bothering me for sure,
11:14but are they really dating each other?
11:17Wait, oh!
11:18Ms. Rin and Mr. Hayashi!
11:20They're on break together?
11:25It was true that they were dating each other!
11:28After seeing them kiss, I tried to keep a distance with Ms. Rin.
11:32I needed time to calm my feelings.
11:34One week went flying by as I did that.
11:37That was when I heard another rumor.
11:39A rumor that Ms. Rin was going to get married.
11:42Holiday.
11:44Uh...
11:45My feelings still haven't settled, though.
11:48I tried going out to change my mood, but...
11:50It's not fun at all.
11:52Uh...
11:54Can I celebrate Ms. Rin's marriage like this?
11:57Oh, what?
11:58That's Mr. Hayashi and Ms. Rin over there!
12:01They're on a date!
12:03The jewelry shop.
12:04Could it be that they were choosing a wedding ring?
12:07What?
12:08So it's true that they're getting married?
12:10Do I just end here, unable to tell her how I feel?
12:14I know she'll turn me down and it'll cause her trouble,
12:17but I want her to know how I feel.
12:19Okay!
12:20The next day.
12:22Masato!
12:24It's been a while!
12:26What was it you wanted to tell me?
12:28I have something very important to tell you.
12:31Important?
12:33I love you, Ms. Rin.
12:35Huh?
12:36But I know you're dating someone else.
12:38But I still wanted you to know how I feel.
12:41Huh?
12:42Dating?
12:43You're dating Mr. Hayashi, right?
12:46Huh?
12:47Me?
12:48What?
12:49You're not?
12:50But I saw you two kissing in the office lounge.
12:53K-k-k-kiss?
12:55I didn't do such a thing!
12:58He helped me take a speck of dust out of my eye!
13:02Huh?
13:03But you two came out of a jewelry shop together.
13:06That's not me, but my younger sister!
13:10Sister?
13:11That's right!
13:13Mr. Hayashi is dating my younger sister!
13:16See?
13:17This girl!
13:19Wow!
13:20You two look so similar!
13:22She's just one year younger than me, and people say we look like twins.
13:26Oh, then was it my misunderstanding?
13:29It is!
13:31You jumped to conclusions!
13:34It's me who likes you, you know?
13:38Wha-?
13:39I like you.
13:41For a long time now.
13:43Y-you're kidding!
13:45I'm not!
13:47I realized that I fell in love with you before I knew it.
13:51But I thought I shouldn't do anything about it.
13:55You know, age-wise, that's why I couldn't say anything.
14:00Ugh...
14:02I wanted to tell you this when you became a member of society,
14:06but I didn't want you to think that I was clinging on to you.
14:10I didn't want you to hate me,
14:12so I became a coward and couldn't tell you.
14:15Miss Rin...
14:16But it seems like you don't hate me.
14:20Huh?
14:21Uh...
14:22And I'd rather you like me.
14:26U-uh...
14:28Are you sure I can be your girlfriend, Masato?
14:33Of course!
14:35After the misunderstanding was cleared out, Miss Rin and I started dating each other.
14:40After that, because the seed of my problem was solved,
14:43I was able to concentrate on my work and get better results.
14:46I was given a chance to be in charge of bigger projects,
14:49and my work life and private life were both going uphill.
14:52And then as time passed...
14:54So my younger sister got married before me.
14:58But aren't weddings wonderful?
15:02It is beautiful.
15:04Oh! It's the bouquet toss!
15:07Oh!
15:08Ahaha! Lucky you, Miss Rin!
15:12Huh?
15:13So it's our turn next, huh?
15:17Uh... Y-yeah!
15:20Life is full of hardships.
15:22However, as long as we don't give in and face our problems,
15:25there is a happy future waiting for us.
15:27I mean, look at me!
15:29I was able to reunite with Miss Rin like this and become this happy together!
15:34Hi! It's me, Mel!
15:37Thanks for watching my channel!
15:40I'm super happy if you watch the next and other videos, too!
