00:00Welcome! We've been waiting for you!
00:03Starting a new life today. Feeling nervous.
00:07My name is Takuto Yamada.
00:09I'm 22 years old and moved to Tokyo with my friend, Tamotsu Takuda, to live in this share house.
00:15Hana! You should come here too!
00:18Coming!
00:19Hana... I used to have a girlfriend with that name.
00:23I wonder how she's doing now.
00:26Back in high school, I had a girlfriend named Hana Yamamoto.
00:29We became close when we were seated next to each other and I fell for her.
00:33I kept making advances.
00:35Huh? Is it okay?
00:38Why are you so surprised?
00:40Because I thought I'd fail again.
00:43I guess if someone confesses 50 times, I'd say yes.
00:47Seems like you're not one to give up, huh?
00:50It's because it's the only thing I've got!
00:53And that's how we started dating.
00:56We started spending time together and on our days off, we began going on more dates.
01:01They said next week we have to choose our career paths. Such a hassle.
01:06We should think about it carefully.
01:09I want to eat curry today!
01:12A-again?
01:15I love the curry you make, dear.
01:18I admire families like that. I want to create a family like that too.
01:23Takuto, you really love curry, don't you?
01:26That's not the point!
01:28I used to think that someday I'd have a family with Hana.
01:32Say what?
01:34We're breaking up.
01:36Why all of a sudden?
01:38I don't love you anymore, Takuto.
01:41That's all I have to say. I've got to go. The teacher's calling me.
01:47Wait, I can't accept this.
01:49It's just not possible anymore.
01:52But...
01:53After that, I tried talking to Hana many times, but she continued to ignore me.
01:58We graduated without resolving things.
02:01In the end, I didn't even find out where Hana went for further studies.
02:05I lost contact with her. What have I done, Otakuda?
02:09My name is not Otaku. It's Otakuda.
02:13She was worried about you. I was asked to look after you too.
02:18If she's going to show that much kindness, why don't you help me get back with her?
02:24There's no one better than Hana for me.
02:26Hana is the only one for me for now and the future.
02:31There were moments like that, but that's truly an old story now.
02:36I guess it's time for me to move on.
02:39Could it be?
02:41Are you Takuto?
02:43Huh?
02:45No way. Is it really you, Takuto?
02:48H-Hana?
02:50Being able to live together, it makes me so happy.
02:55Huh? Did she just say she's happy? After everything that happened?
03:00Hey, you two. Do you know each other?
03:03Um, yes, we do. We were actually classmates in high school.
03:08Wow! What a heartwarming reunion!
03:12No need for idle chat. Just come on in already.
03:15As we were told, we went in.
03:20Why is Hana next to me? Doesn't she mind?
03:24But she made preparations for this, and I don't want to make things awkward by going straight to my room.
03:30Takuto, right? No need to be so stiff.
03:34I'm Ran Tenshin. I met Hana during my overseas studies. We both came here with the idea of living together.
03:41Hana was overseas. She didn't say a word to me about it.
03:45So? What about you two? What made you come to the share house?
03:50We moved to Tokyo for work. Plus, Otakura was worried about being alone in the city and begged me to come.
03:57The city is scary, so I really wanted to be with someone.
04:01Well, it's more affordable here, and Otakura handled all the paperwork, which was a big help.
04:07Afterward, we all enjoyed a takoyaki party, and time passed.
04:11Um, can I get my drink? Excuse me.
04:15So close! Oh, Hana, she's wearing the same perfume as before.
04:22Um, I, well, I never thought I'd see you again like this.
04:29But I've been thinking about what happened back then.
04:33Could this be the moment where she tells me why she broke up with me?
04:37I'm not mentally prepared for that.
04:39I'm really sorry.
04:42No, I can't. It's too scary to know the truth.
04:46By the way, I've been through some things since then and recently got a girlfriend.
04:51Oh.
04:53Oh, right. I need to contact my girlfriend. So, yeah.
04:57Octo?
04:59Oops!
05:00Darn it, I messed up!
05:02What's this about having a girlfriend?
05:04But it would be lame to say that I've been carrying those feelings for so long.
05:08Honestly, I still have feelings to her, and if I were to ask why she broke up with me now, I might not recover.
05:15Ah, I'm a mess.
05:17But I have a job starting, and I don't have savings, so I have to stay here for a while.
05:22I'll try to avoid getting involved with Hana as much as possible.
05:26That's what I thought.
05:28A few days later.
05:30Ah!
05:31Ah, uh, Takuto.
05:35Sorry, I just remembered something I have to do.
05:38Whoa!
05:40Ah, Takuto, are you okay?
05:43Ah!
05:45You hit your head here, right?
05:47Looks like you're going to have a bump.
05:49Just wait a moment.
05:50A few minutes later.
05:52Back in high school, she often patched me up when I got hurt.
05:56I like that kindness of her.
05:58Hey, Takuto?
06:00Yeah?
06:01Four years ago.
06:03I'm sorry I broke up with you out of the blue.
06:06Ah, I see.
06:08It's been four years.
06:10We've grown up.
06:11Maybe I can ask her why we broke up now.
06:13Hey, Hana, can you tell me why you broke up with me back then?
06:18Takuto, you have a girlfriend now, right?
06:23Huh?
06:25We were dating in the past, and talking about that might make your girlfriend uncomfortable.
06:30But, I mean, crap, what do I do?
06:33If I ask, I might get caught in a lie.
06:36In the end, two weeks passed with things staying the same.
06:40I can't keep lying.
06:41I need to tell the truth, ask her why she broke up with me, and face it properly.
06:46Today, Otakura and Ran said they'll be working late.
06:49This might be my only chance.
06:51Hey, Hana, we need to talk.
06:54Huh?
06:56Your face is kind of red, isn't it?
06:59Yeah, I'm feeling a bit hot.
07:03Hana?
07:05A few minutes later.
07:08I'm sorry for causing trouble.
07:12It's okay, take your time and rest.
07:15Thank you, Takuto.
07:17You've always been kind.
07:19It's nothing.
07:27Hana just started her job, so she must be tired.
07:31I'm tired, too.
07:34Hana, you got even more prettier, but your sleeping face hasn't changed.
07:39I still like you a lot.
07:41Several hours later.
07:44Huh?
07:46I fell asleep.
07:48Hana, how are you feeling?
07:50I'm all better now.
07:52I got my energy back after some sleep.
07:54That's a relief.
07:56Takuto, thank you so much, and, um...
08:01Hmm?
08:03You were going to sleep.
08:05I heard you say something, but I was half asleep and I couldn't tell if it was a dream.
08:11Is it true?
08:13Is she talking about me saying that I like her?
08:17Wait, I'm supposed to have a girlfriend now, so this could lead to a messy situation.
08:22I need to be honest about everything, and then...
08:25Hana! Takuto sent me a message saying you're not feeling well.
08:29Are you okay?
08:32Huh?
08:33If they find out that I'm in Hana's room...
08:36May I come in?
08:38Oh, you're awake? Are you feeling better?
08:41Y-Yeah. I rested for a bit and I'm feeling much better now.
08:46Well, that's good to hear.
08:48Huh? What's with the blanket?
08:51It's not lying flat, is it?
08:54M-Maybe? Maybe it's gained weight.
08:58Uh-oh! I was pushed into the bed, but this is definitely going to get busted!
09:03It smells so nice, it's so soft, and all sorts of things are going wrong!
09:09Ah! I see.
09:12Well, let me know if anything comes up, okay?
09:17Sorry, Takuto. Were you uncomfortable?
09:21I, um... No.
09:24Anyway...
09:26That was close!
09:28I thought my heart stopped!
09:31You're being so dramatic.
09:33But Ran looked kind of suspicious when she left.
09:37Isn't it obvious that she knows?
09:40What's going on? This is so much fun, just like the old days!
09:45As a result of that day, the distance between Hana and me became just like before.
09:51When we get back, let's play rock, paper, scissors for ice cream!
09:55I'm definitely going for chocolate!
09:58Hey, I want chocolate too!
10:00This is too much happiness.
10:02I could stay just friends with Hana, but no, I can't!
10:06I need to find the right time to tell her the truth!
10:09A few days later...
10:11This is my relative's kid!
10:13We're taking care of her for today!
10:15Muahahaha!
10:17I am Nidhi, the king of the underworld!
10:21I am in search of the dark servant of law!
10:25Hm?
10:26Ah, she wants to play hide-and-seek.
10:29Will you all play with her?
10:31Forty-four...
10:33Forty-four...
10:35Forty-four...
10:37How many times is she going to say forty-four?
10:41Well, I've checked thoroughly, and this place is absolutely safe.
10:47Why are you here?
10:49I thought maybe she wouldn't find this spot.
10:52Forty-five...
10:54Forty-six...
10:57She's counting up now!
10:59Forty-seven...
11:01Forty-eight...
11:03Fifty!
11:05Sorry, I rushed in here.
11:07No problem!
11:09This is... bad.
11:11But Hana doesn't seem to mind.
11:13Maybe Hana still has feelings for me.
11:15Alright, if I'm going to tell her, it's now.
11:21Hey, Hana, about what I said...
11:24Having a girlfriend, it's a lie.
11:26Huh?
11:27Why would you lie about that?
11:29I'm sorry, but...
11:31Wait, I have something I want to tell you too.
11:35Takuto, I...
11:37Where is the Dark Servant?
11:39Become my minion!
11:43Oh my, oh my!
11:49No, it's not like that!
11:51Later, Ran's relative came to pick up Riri, and she left.
11:55Based on today's events, could it be that Hana has feelings for me too?
12:00Could it be mutual?
12:02But she said she had something to talk about.
12:05It's about the reason we broke up.
12:07I'll talk to her properly tomorrow.
12:09I thought like this, but an incident occurred the next day.
12:14Who could it be this early?
12:16Hello, who is it?
12:18Hello, I'm Hana's father. Is she here?
12:21Huh?
12:22I'm sorry for the sudden visit.
12:24We wanted to talk to our daughter for a bit.
12:26May we come in?
12:28Y-yes.
12:30A few minutes later.
12:31It feels like the atmosphere is suddenly heavy.
12:34What's going on all of a sudden?
12:36If you'd let me know...
12:38We tried to reach you, but you weren't responding.
12:41So we got worried.
12:43Sorry, I've been busy.
12:46Your job must be tough, right?
12:49You mentioned you collapsed with a fever recently, didn't you?
12:53Maybe it would be better to commute from home to your workplace?
12:57I want to live here.
12:59I won't go back home.
13:02Hana, please be more reasonable.
13:04You understand why we worry, right?
13:07Um, could you please give Hana a bit more time to explain?
13:11Who are you?
13:12Thanks for worrying about me, but I'm okay.
13:15But...
13:16Well, well.
13:18There's probably a lot to talk about, so we'll take our leave.
13:21Huh?
13:22Please, have a family discussion.
13:25Thank you, everyone.
13:27I need a little more time.
13:29Wait, both of you...
13:31Afterward, we left Hana and her family behind
13:34and decided to spend some time at a nearby family restaurant.
13:37You seemed ready to pounce.
13:40Maybe you needed some space, huh?
13:43Ran, that was a good follow-up.
13:45Thanks to both of you.
13:47But why do Hana's parents worry so much?
13:49We're all adults here.
13:51Well, it's because Hana had an illness, you know?
13:55An illness?
13:57Hana had a severe illness when she was in high school.
14:00The chances of recovery weren't very high.
14:05By the time she graduated high school,
14:07she finally had the opportunity to receive treatment abroad.
14:11She successfully underwent treatment while attending a junior college overseas
14:15and then met me.
14:17Could it be that's why I got rejected?
14:20But if only she had told me, I would have...
14:23You tried to support Hana in being with her?
14:26Of course. I love Hana.
14:28That's what made it so tough.
14:30Hana knew you wanted a warm family
14:33and she thought that if she ever passed away,
14:35you'd continue thinking about her forever,
14:38potentially ruining your dreams.
14:41I can't believe it.
14:43In fact, I heard that story from Ran
14:46just before we moved into the share house.
14:48Do you remember me telling you that
14:50I were asked to take care of things afterward?
14:54Otahakura,
14:56I hope you'll continue to be by Takuto's side and support him.
15:00Of course, but it's just...
15:03He'll probably get really down.
15:06And since he's stubborn,
15:08he might start saying he'll continue to like me.
15:11Well, yeah.
15:14But I want him to forget about me quickly
15:16and move on to the next person.
15:18So push his back for me, okay?
15:21Otahakura, I'm sorry for asking something like this,
15:25but please take care of Takuto for me.
15:28What is that?
15:30After returning to her home country,
15:32living in the share house was all for her parents.
15:35She thinks her parents spent so much time with her before
15:38and now she wants them to cherish their time together.
15:41Hana has always been thinking about others,
15:45but her parents are probably still worried.
15:48So maybe they've come to take her back.
15:50I heard they were talking about arranged marriage not too long ago.
15:55I won't allow that. I'm going over there.
15:58Be careful.
16:00Good luck, Takuto.
16:05What is this, Hana?
16:07Deciding everything without telling me and all by yourself?
16:10She should have relied on me more.
16:12Wait, please.
16:14Takuto?
16:15You're the one from earlier.
16:17I heard everything about the illness.
16:19What?
16:20But please, postpone the arranged marriage.
16:23I might not be very reliable, but I'll support you, Hana.
16:26Takuto.
16:28I love Hana. I've loved her forever.
16:31I still do, and I always will.
16:33Ugh.
16:34I'm a stubborn guy, and I'm sorry for that,
16:36but I promise to be by Hana's side now and forever.
16:39So please rely on me more.
16:42Takuto, I've loved you all this time.
16:46Even now and back then.
16:48I'm so sorry I couldn't tell you about the illness.
16:51I'm sorry for deciding things on my own.
16:54I see.
16:56So you're the Takuto we've heard a lot about you from our daughter.
17:00We've already declined the arranged marriage, so don't worry.
17:04Really?
17:05Whenever we ask Hana to contact you,
17:07she always tells us there's nothing to worry about.
17:10We were just concerned today.
17:12Sorry for the fuss.
17:13No problem.
17:15But as long as you're here, it should be okay.
17:18Please keep taking care of our daughter.
17:21Yes, of course.
17:23A few hours later.
17:25All right.
17:26Speaking of celebrations, how about a takoyaki party?
17:30Ran and Otakuta, thank you for everything.
17:35You two have made it because of us.
17:38Indeed.
17:39Ran's dynamism is truly admirable.
17:42I never thought I'd end up here after hearing about her feelings.
17:46My information network is impressive too, you know.
17:49With your cooperation, Otakuta was a real help.
17:52Your acting skills and breaking down in tears were remarkable.
17:56I have been concerned for both of you all along.
18:00Thank you both so much.
18:02Oh, no more octopus left.
18:04Let's get more.
18:05All right, I'll go grab some.
18:07I'll come with you to get some drinks too.
18:10Takuto.
18:12Let's keep it a secret, okay?
18:15Living in a share house is not good for my heart.
18:18Our life in the share house continued for some time.
18:21And after a few years...
18:23Did I buy too much?
18:25No worries, I can eat a lot.
18:27Daddy, you love mommy's curry, right?
18:31Oh, yeah.
18:32I can eat as much as you make.
18:34I love it too.
18:37Both of you are such foodies.
18:40Look, it's Ran and Otaku, and Niri too.
18:44It's been a while since we all got together.
18:47It's going to be fun.
18:50We need to make sure they don't turn the curry into takoyaki.
18:54Despite the hardships, thanks to our friends,
18:57I now have a happy family.
18:59I'm determined to make our future even happier.
19:03Hi! It's me, Mel!
19:06Thanks for watching my channel!
19:09I'm super happy if you watch the next and other videos too!
