00:00hey there's something I gotta tell you Saya no matter what I've been into you
00:05since we were kids like I want to be with you
00:09thanks Kota I'm super stoked about your feelings
00:14really? then...
00:16but sorry I can't date you
00:20why?
00:22I'm really sorry but I have to go
00:27ah bad memories just rushing back
00:32my name is Kota Yoshida
00:34I'm a 20 year old introvert nerd going to Koiwa University
00:38used to have a childhood friend who I swore to marry
00:41but that's ancient history
00:43two years ago she dumped me
00:45and embarrassingly enough I'm still hung up on her
00:49that childhood friend I'm talking about is Saya Ogawa
00:53even though we're in different departments
00:55we were both in the same college
00:57is that?
00:59we haven't talked since that day
01:01I wish we could be close again like we used to
01:04yo why are you staring so hard huh?
01:08hey I'm totally not
01:10no doubt Saya's cute
01:12but I'm more into mature women you know
01:16that's Charao Yabasugi
01:18as you can see he's a real heartthrob
01:21and rumor has it his dad's some big-shot executive at a famous company
01:26rich as heck I hear
01:28and infamous for his flashy playboy lifestyle
01:32he's not my cup of tea
01:34um so what's up?
01:37right uh you free today?
01:39wanna hit up a mixer?
01:41I'm like not really into that kind of stuff
01:44come on don't say that
01:46don't know why but they specifically ask for you
01:50what?
01:52what's that even supposed to mean?
01:54no clue anyway let's go
01:56wait you're just assuming I'm in?
02:00one hour later
02:02what do I do?
02:04I ended up here
02:06I got someone on my mind you know
02:08hey can I sit next to you?
02:10oh sure go ahead
02:13wait what?
02:15isn't she Alisa Nakano?
02:17last year's beauty pageant winner?
02:19what's such a big shot doing here?
02:23do I have something on my face?
02:26sorry I didn't mean to stare
02:29I know you're Kota Yoshida right?
02:32Saya's childhood buddy
02:34uh-huh you know Saya?
02:36yeah we're friends
02:38in the same department I often take classes together
02:41I heard all about you from Saya
02:44really?
02:46what the heck did she say about me?
02:49actually I'm the one who requested you as my mixer partner you know
02:54uh-huh why would you pick someone like me?
02:58I was interested in you is that okay?
03:01Alisa you sure know how to mess with people
03:05no I'm serious I really wanted to talk to you
03:09even if she says that what am I supposed to talk about with such a gorgeous girl?
03:14but turns out I was totally overthinking it
03:18whoa you're into anime huh?
03:21believe it or not I'm picky about old-school mecha anime from the Showa era
03:26I see by the way are these fries not salty enough?
03:31yeah they're not
03:33she's a real deal
03:35hey Alisa instead of hanging out with this nerd how about chatting more with me?
03:40you're totally into me right?
03:42nope not interested I just asked because you set us up together
03:47what? you're using me as a stepping stone?
03:51and then we spent an hour talking about all things geeky
03:57hey what's up?
03:59hmm I might have started liking you
04:03what?
04:04whoa is it my time?
04:06nah I can't do this I've already got someone in mind
04:12feels like someone's behind me
04:16wow you guys are real friends
04:21why is Saya here?
04:23am I disturbing you?
04:25must be since you two are close right?
04:28I'd be a bother or something
04:30no it's not like...
04:32wait why are you working part-time?
04:34didn't you say your dad runs a company?
04:38no more importantly this is all a misunderstanding
04:42how cruel I'm serious about this
04:45what the heck?
04:46relax I won't interfere with your mixer take your time
04:50wait up Saya
04:54what do I do she's totally got the wrong idea
04:57I tried to clean it up after but she wouldn't listen to me
05:00I'm sorry it's my fault right?
05:03nah it's not your
05:05apologies don't mean much but how about I take you on a date this Saturday
05:10let's meet at noon in front of Koiwa clock tower
05:13what?
05:14I promised so you better show up anyway catch you later
05:18what hey wait
05:21and so the promised date arrived
05:24I actually came but I don't have her number
05:28and we don't have any other way to connect at uni
05:31guess I'll have to do this to decline
05:34wow Kota you're early
05:37still got 10 minutes till our date
05:40um about today
05:43uh
05:46wait Saya why are you here?
05:49said it was a date so she tagged along
05:52don't get it twisted I'm here to make sure you don't pull anything weird with Alisa
05:58I wouldn't do anything like that okay
06:01then we move to another spot
06:04I wonder when was the last time I was at an amusement park
06:07let's have a blast today Kota
06:10yeah sure thing
06:12stop ogling at her like that
06:15I'm not
06:17she's so soft and smells nice
06:20hey hey wanna ride the attraction over there together?
06:24no way Kota and I are gonna watch the parade
06:28wait guys don't cling to me
06:30keep it together Kota my self-control is waning
06:35a few hours later
06:38too tired hitting my limit here
06:41can we take a break please?
06:43oh no out of energy already?
06:46you're such a slacker Kota
06:49it's cuz you two are full of energy
06:52it can't be helped huh?
06:54all right let's take a break
06:56hey how about riding this next?
06:59go-karts?
07:00yep let's have a jet stream attack with the three of us
07:05but it says you must be over 5 feet to ride this
07:10what?
07:11hey Saya how tall are you now?
07:14don't wanna say
07:17all right let me rephrase it
07:19have you grown a bit since high school?
07:21how rude of course I have
07:24by how much?
07:26about 5 millimeters
07:29that's barely a change
07:31whatever you two enjoy yourselves
07:34I'll wait around here
07:36that's not gonna work I can't leave you alone
07:39are you worried about someone hitting on me or something?
07:43no it's just that someone might mistake you for a lost kid without me around
07:47like that'll happen
07:50in the end Alisa went on the go-kart alone
07:54I'm the wind
07:57looks like she's having fun
08:00Kouta
08:02what's up?
08:04you really preferred being with Alisa today huh?
08:07what? no way I was gonna reject the date from the start
08:11really?
08:12obviously Alisa and I are nothing
08:15cuz I still you know
08:18Kouta I actually
08:23aww they're so in love
08:26ah the follies of youth
08:30um
08:32as the enjoyable time passed by in the blink of an eye
08:36I was worried for a moment there but we managed to finish safely
08:40but Saya's misunderstanding is still unresolved
08:44hey Kouta
08:46I had fun today
08:48let's go on a date just the two of us next time
08:51what?
08:53what? I knew it

12:02Charao?

12:07I think the place they're going to is a popular spot for couples
12:12I gotta go
12:14what?
12:15so what is it that you want to talk about in this kind of place?
12:19nah I mean

12:25cuz your dad's company went out of business?
12:28so what?

13:51I just said it on purpose
13:53I got worried it might turn into something really bad so
13:57thanks
13:59but anyway
14:01I heard everything earlier
14:03looks like you managed
14:05to get your feelings across
14:07my cheering for you guys paid off
14:09cheering?
14:11what are you talking about?
14:13oh come on it's obvious
14:15it was all about cheering on your love
14:18Saya obviously likes you
14:20but she couldn't be honest
14:22so I thought of showing off our closeness
14:24at the mixer to stir up some jealousy
14:27and of course
14:29the date was part of the plan
14:31what? really?
14:33alright alright
14:35Saya's got her part time job coming up right?
14:37she's got lots to talk about
14:39Kota why don't you walk her there?
14:41hey Alisa stop pushing
14:44wait I haven't even fully grasped
14:46what's going on yet
14:48just forget about it for now
14:50a few minutes later
14:52so you and Alisa
14:54it was nothing right?
14:56sorry for the misunderstanding
14:58glad the misunderstanding's cleared up
15:00but gotta admit Alisa really surprised me
15:03who would've thought she'd go to such lengths for you
15:07she's a bit quirky but
15:09she's my proud friend
15:11yeah
15:13so about the other day
15:16the other day?
15:18you know when we were at your place
15:20ugh let's forget about that
15:22I got jealous of Alisa and then
15:24no can do
15:26can't forget it
15:28I was so happy you know
15:30ugh
15:32but hey if that's the case
15:34why did you reject me back then
15:36was it related to your dad's company going bankrupt?
15:38yeah
15:40right around when I graduated high school
15:42my dad's company went under
15:44it was tough back then
15:46still is
15:48I see so that's why you're working so hard
15:50at your part time job
15:52wanna contribute as much as I can to cover my tuition
15:54I'm a hard working student after all
15:56um
