00:00Your love luck is off the charts! You'll meet your soulmate soon!
00:05Soulmate?! If that's true, I've already met my soulmate once.
00:11It was so long ago, I barely remember her face.
00:15I'm Kai, a freshman at Koiwa High.
00:18Never had a girlfriend in my life.
00:20My sister said she'd set me up with a great girl.
00:24And with that horoscope, I got all excited thinking,
00:27maybe I'll finally meet my soulmate.
00:30But...
00:31Huh? This can't be right.
00:34The only one here is that girl.
00:38Could she be my date?
00:40Sis, you tricked me, didn't you?
00:44The person waiting was Erika Takano, the school's top delinquent.
00:49She's so scary, no one dares to get close.
00:53She's been to my house once, cause she's my sister's friend.
00:57But all I remember is how terrifying she is.
01:01Sis, what the heck is this?
01:04I hooked you up with a cute girl, didn't I?
01:08She's cute, but that's not the point! This is totally different!
01:13Just go! That's an order from your sister!
01:18And if you fail, you know what'll happen, right?
01:25Ugh, fine, I get it.
01:29Guess I've got no choice but to face this head on.
01:34Um...
01:36Huh? You're Mei's little brother, right?
01:41Wait, don't tell me you're the date?
01:46Ugh...
01:50Ugh! Mei, you little... I got tricked!
01:56Just you and me, huh?
01:59I'm sorry.
02:01Oh boy, if this date goes south, I'm a goner for sure.
02:05I gotta use all my rom-com knowledge to survive this.
02:09Whatever. Can't embarrass Mei, so let's just get this over with.
02:15Ow!
02:21Did I just see what I think I saw?
02:27Oh, hey! Hey, you okay? Sorry, I couldn't react fast enough.
02:33Huh?
02:35Um...
02:37No, thanks. You saved me.
02:41You sure you're not hurt?
02:44Just tripped, I'm fine.
02:47Sorry about that. It was kinda awkward.
02:52No worries, um...
02:55What is it?
02:57Erika, can we keep holding hands?
03:00What?
03:01Since it's a date and all.
03:03Uh... okay.
03:07Alright, I can do this!
03:09I did my best to make her have fun.
03:12My knowledge is all from rom-coms, but I managed to keep her entertained.
03:17At least, I think I did.
03:19I really hope this was good enough.
03:22I'm exhausted, but I somehow survived.
03:26My life is safe for now.
03:29Hey!
03:30Yes? What is it?
03:33Did I mess up somewhere?
03:35So... when's the next date?
03:39What? There's gonna be another one?
03:43Uh, well...
03:45Spit it out already!
03:47Whatever, I'll call you. Make sure you answer!
03:51Y-yeah.
03:53What do I do? She's totally gonna call me, isn't she?
03:58What do you mean, I'll meet my soulmate? This has nothing to do with destiny!
04:04I'm never trusting horoscopes again!
04:07Well, yelling doesn't change reality.
04:10A few days later, I found myself at the movies with Erika.
04:15I can't believe she actually called me.
04:18She seemed so mad last time. I wonder why did she invite me again?
04:23And who knew she was into horror movies?
04:26It's intense and scary, but kind of fun.
04:30I hope she's enjoying this.
04:34Huh?
04:36Is she... about to cry? Why?
04:40She doesn't like horror movies, but she's the one who invited me.
04:45If she's scared, why'd she pick this movie?
04:49Um, Erika, are you alright?
04:55Are you okay?
04:57No! No, I'm not okay!
05:01Don't leave my side until it's over! Promise you won't leave!
05:06O-okay.
05:08Being this close to a girl is making my heart race!
05:12Wait, I have a soulmate! I can't be doing this!
05:16Oh, come on! I hope this movie will end soon!
05:21Um, are you alright?
05:24No, not really.
05:27I thought you liked horror since you invited me.
05:31I heard it was fun, so I thought you'd like it.
05:36I wanted our date to be special since I invited you.
05:40And, well, I thought maybe if my heart races, yours may too.
05:47Huh? That's such an adorable reason!
05:52Aw, man! I have a soulmate, but my heart's racing!
05:56Where's the scary Erika? Where's she hiding?
06:01Another day, we went to the indoor pool.
06:05I should probably stop going on these dates.
06:08But I'm too scared to refuse and face the consequences.
06:12I'm supposed to have a soulmate, but I'm way too indecisive.
06:17Sorry for the wait!
06:19No problem, really.
06:21What? Does it not suit me?
06:25No way! You look amazing!
06:28I thought she'd wear something sexy, but this...
06:31This cute look is...
06:34Wait, this looks familiar somehow.
06:37I can't remember where I've seen it.
06:40Hey! Why are you spacing out?
06:43Oh, sorry!
06:45Anyways, let's go!
06:47There's an awesome water slide over there!
06:50Hey, girl! Ditch this guy and hang with us!
06:54Yeah! We'll show you a real good time!
06:57What?
06:59Um, excuse me! She's with me, so could you leave us alone?
07:04Ah!
07:06What's your problem, dude?
07:08What? You her boyfriend or something?
07:11I'm not her boyfriend, but I'm not some random stranger like you guys.
07:17Whatever, loser! Good loss, you nerd!
07:20Whoa!
07:22Hey! You okay?
07:25You little!
07:27Hey! What are you doing?
07:29Shoot! It's the lifeguard! Let's go!
07:33Those jerks!
07:35Hey! Are you okay?
07:38I'm fine. Thanks for wor-
07:40Ow!
07:42What's wrong?
07:44I twisted my ankle when I fell.
07:46I'm such a klutz. What am I doing?
07:50Hey! Are you hurt? We gotta get you to the nurse's office!
07:54Good news. It's just a sprain. You'll be fine soon.
07:59Yeah.
08:01What? Why the long face?
08:04You hurt somewhere else?
08:06No, it's just...
08:08I'm sorry, Erika.
08:10I tried to help, but I just ended up looking lame.
08:14I'm always like this.
08:16I can't do anything right.
08:19That's not true.
08:21Erika...
08:23What do you mean you can't do anything?
08:25You tried to protect me.
08:28Even though you knew you'd lose, you still stepped in.
08:31It takes guts to help someone when you know you can't win.
08:35I like that brave side of you, Kai.
08:38What? Like?
08:41I mean, like, that you're cool. You know?
08:47Anyway, your ankles hurt, so let's go home.
08:51And this was supposed to be a fun date.
08:55But hey, stuff happens.
08:59I'll ask you out again when you're better.
09:03Erika's feeling down.
09:06I hate seeing her like this. I want her to be happy.
09:10I get it now. I'm falling for Erika.
09:13I can't stay hung up on my past soulmate.
09:16It's time to move forward.
09:19My past is a cherished memory, but I need to make Erika happy now.
09:23And the first step is...
09:26Huh?
09:27Erika, let's go on a date. Let's redo today's date.
09:31I want to hang out with you ASAP. How about after school?
09:36W-wait, are you asking me out?
09:41Yeah. Is that okay?
09:44Of course, I'd love to. Thanks, Kai.
09:49From that day on, I started asking Erika out, not just the other way around.
09:54At first, I was nervous, but once I did it, I felt more confident.
10:00I wanted to make her happy, to see her smile.
10:03That feeling pushed my timid self forward.
10:07One day after school...
10:09Hey, let's hit up karaoke after this.
10:12Sounds great. I've been practicing that song you suggested.
10:17Hey, Erika.
10:19Ugh, what are you doing here?
10:22What do you mean? I'm meeting friends at the arcade.
10:26Then go meet them and leave me alone.
10:30Aw, come on.
10:32No, seriously, buzz off.
10:34But man, you guys don't look good together.
10:38Wouldn't you and I be a better match?
10:42Huh? What are you even talking about? Stop saying weird stuff.
10:47And weren't you meeting your friends? Just go.
10:52Yeah, yeah, I'm going.
10:55Jeez, what's his deal, seriously?
10:59Sorry about that.
11:01You two seem tight.
11:04Yeah, well, he's kinda important to me, you know?
11:08Cause he's like...
11:10Oh, Erika, there's this crepe stand over there that looks good.
11:14Let's grab some.
11:16Uh, sure?
11:19What's she mean by important?
11:22I didn't want to hear it, so I cut her off, but...
11:25A few days later...
11:27Couldn't focus on today's movie at all.
11:30Drank too much soda, and now I'm making Erika wait.
11:34What's up with her and that guy, anyway?
11:37She said he's important, but...
11:40Why the heck are you here again?
11:43Aren't you glad to see me?
11:45Tch, no way.
11:47That voice...
11:49Erika and that guy from before...
11:52Hey, do you think those two are a couple?
11:56Totally! They look good together!
11:59Ugh...
12:01Yeah, makes sense. They look way better together than me and her.
12:05Don't want to butt in. I'll just text her and head out.
12:09Sorry, Erika.
12:11I can't make you happy right now.
12:14From that day on, I stopped texting Erika.
12:17I tried to avoid her at school, too.
12:20Seeing her reminded me of her and that guy, and it hurt too much.
12:25Three days later...
12:27Ugh, I'm such a loser.
12:31Why am I moping around like this?
12:34Knock knock!
12:36Whoa, what's up?
12:38Why aren't you texting Erika?
12:41Well, she's got someone important.
12:44And I'm not good enough for her.
12:47So you're just giving up?
12:49Did you even ask her who that important person is?
12:53Well, no.
12:55Is my cute little brother really this much of a wimp?
12:59I'm not a wimp.
13:01Of course, I don't want to give up.
13:04So?
13:06I want to be with Erika more.
13:09I want to be the one to make her smile and happy.
13:12Now you're talking!
13:14You know what to do, right?
13:17Yeah, I'll text her and go see her.
13:20That's the spirit!
13:22Go get him, Kai!
13:24Thanks, sis!
13:26Thank goodness Erika agreed to meet up.
13:29First, I gotta apologize.
13:31And then...
13:33Oh, Erika!
13:35Yo, what's up, nerd?
13:38You?
13:39Just happened to be here, you know.
13:42Hey, Riku, scram! Kai's here!
13:45Shut up, will ya?
13:47So, you know what?
13:49You ghosted Erika and now you want to meet up?
13:52What are you thinking?
13:54If you can't think of anyone but yourself, stay away from her.
13:58I'm sorry!
14:00I was only thinking about myself.
14:02I got all insecure and hurt Erika.
14:05I thought about giving up, but I just couldn't.
14:08I'll try harder. I'll change.
14:10I'll become someone she can like.
14:12So, can we start over as friends?
14:15No.
14:17Uh...
14:19Guess I'm just not good enough.
14:21I want you to be my boyfriend.
14:24Cause I've always liked you.
14:27What?!
14:29Well, guess I'll cheer you guys on since you went that far.
14:34Thanks, bro.
14:36Bro?
14:38Yeah, I'm Erika's brother, Riku.
14:41She was all lovestruck lately, so I got curious.
14:45And then she looked all down in the dumps and was worried,
14:49so I secretly followed her.
14:51Really?
14:53If you were some punk who'd hurt my cute little sis,
14:56I was gonna deck you.
14:58Sorry for being harsh the other day and just now.
15:01But I'm cool now.
15:03Make her happy, got it?
15:06But wait, you've liked me for a long time?
15:10We met here, at this park during middle school's summer break.
15:15No way!
15:17Back then, I was into that punk look cause of some friends.
15:21I fell while walking my dog and no one helped me.
15:25Then, this pink-haired boy helped me up.
15:29That was you, right?
15:31When we went on our first date,
15:33I realized it was you when you held out your hand.
15:37R-really?
15:39When Mei got into fashion and wanted to dye her hair,
15:42but was scared of getting in trouble with her mom,
15:45you said you'd get in trouble too and dyed your hair pink with her, right?
15:49I told Mei about my soulmate before.
15:53Then, when the date thing came up,
15:56Mei figured it out and told me it was you.
15:59Your parents got super mad and you two dyed it back right away.
16:04But Mei laughed and said you're that sweet of a brother.
16:09B-but if that's true, why were you so mad back then?
16:14Well, when Mei told me to meet my soulmate and I saw you there,
16:21Mei's brother, you know?
16:24I thought I'd been set up.
16:26Sorry for being so rude.
16:29I'll say it straight.
16:31Kai, I like you.
16:34I can't say I've liked you forever.
16:37But the more time we spent together, the more I fell for you.
16:41Me too, Erika. I like you.
16:44We confessed our feelings and headed to tell my sis about it.
16:49Finally together, huh?
16:52Thanks, Mei.
16:54It's all cause you set up that date.
16:57Yep, you owe me.
17:00And hey, that soulmate you were looking for, Kai, that's Erika, right?
17:07What?
17:09Wait, what?
17:11When I was little, I helped a girl who fell in the park.
17:14I thought she was my soulmate.
17:17Before meeting you, she was the only girl I had a connection with.
17:22Wait, you think that was...
17:25this girl?
17:27Huh? Yeah, that's gotta be it, I'm sure.
17:32Wait, but I went to that park so many times after that and I never saw her again.
17:38I moved here during middle school.
17:41When I was in elementary, I visited this area to see my relatives.
17:46So you're saying...
17:48We were always meant to find each other.
17:51Soulmates.
17:54Exactly! I figured it out from both your stories.
17:58Erika talked about being helped when she was little, so I thought it must be you.
18:04The ages and details matched up.
18:07Three coincidences? That's fate.
18:11So I'm like the goddess of fate here.
18:15Anyway, congrats you two!
18:19After we got together, we were super lovey-dovey at school.
18:23But people started noticing.
18:26I said I'd work hard and I did, improving myself.
18:29Meanwhile, Erika ditched her punk style.
18:33A few months later.
18:35You will meet your soulmate, huh?
18:38What you looking at?
18:40Wait, your soulmate?
18:43I've already met my soulmate. It's you, Erika.
18:47Aww! And you're my soulmate too. I love you, darling.
18:53Love you too!
