00:00My name's Hiro Shimada, just a regular high school junior trying to fly under the radar.
00:06But lately, I got this weird problem.
00:10Man, I swear, I'm feeling someone's eyes on me again!
00:17Eek! It's Kimura again!
00:21That's Aikimura.
00:23Ever since we started high school, I keep catching her staring at me for no reason.
00:31Why is she looking at me like that? It's freaking me out.
00:35Did I do something?
00:37We barely know each other. I don't think we've even talked much before.
00:43Kimura's got these stunning looks that made her the center of attention from the moment she walked in on the first day.
00:50But it's not just her looks.
00:53She's got this friendly, helpful vibe that even teachers and upperclassmen love.
00:59Not that I know a ton about her or anything.
01:02Is she still looking at me?
01:05Hehe, cute!
01:08Oh man, that intense stare is making me feel all sorts of weird.
01:13Like, my heart's racing and I can't think straight.
01:17I'm probably the only one who feels this way about our school's Queen Bee.
01:22And we're in the same class this year, so there's no escaping.
01:27What do I do?
01:29Maybe I should just ask her what's up.
01:32But no way I got that kind of guts.
01:36Talking to her is like climbing a mountain for a plain guy like me.
01:41Hey Shimada!
01:43Huh?
01:44Sorry to bother you, but you got time after school?
01:48Huh? After school? Today?
01:51Yeah, I got something important to tell you.
01:54Can you spare a few minutes, please?
01:57Huh?
02:02Man, I couldn't say no to her sudden invite.
02:06I'm such a wimp.
02:08Thanks for making time for me.
02:10N-no problem. It's all good.
02:13There's something I really need to tell you, Hito.
02:17Hito, I like you.
02:20Will you go out with me?
02:22Sorry, no.
02:24What? That was fast!
02:27Do you... like someone else?
02:31No, it's not that.
02:33Then what?
02:34I can't just say she's kind of freaking me out. What do I do?
02:39Hito? You okay? You look kind of pale.
02:45I can't date you, sorry!
02:49O-okay. Got it.
02:53I really appreciate your feelings, but...
02:56Please, don't do that.
03:00That day, with people starting to gather around,
03:03we couldn't talk things through properly, and it ended kind of awkwardly.
03:07But then...
03:10The next day, a whole new problem cropped up.
03:14Even if I was freaking out, I was way too harsh back there.
03:18Kimura didn't really do anything wrong.
03:21Yeah, I gotta apologize and talk this out calmly.
03:25Rejoice, hero! I got great news for your boring life!
03:30What's with the sudden hype? And who's this?
03:34This is Naomi.
03:36Nice to meet you. I'm Naomi Kimura.
03:40N-nice to meet you. I'm Hiro Shimada.
03:44All right! Now that you guys know each other,
03:47let's move to the living room for the big talk!
03:50Is she... dad's girlfriend?
03:53Well, dad did raise me alone since the divorce.
03:57Guess I should be cool with it.
04:00Don't freak out too much, okay?
04:04What's going on?
04:06My daughter's waiting here, too.
04:09Daughter? Wait, what?
04:12Hi, sorry for the wait.
04:15Geez, mom, don't just leave me hanging.
04:19Well, we can't all just barge into a boy's room, right?
04:23No, you should've stayed here with me.
04:27Gasp!
04:29What?
04:31So, long story short, we're getting remarried.
04:35Remarried?
04:37Yep. Felt the spark the moment we met. Right, Naomi?
04:42Oh, stop. You're embarrassing me in front of the kids, honey.
04:47And this is her daughter, Ai. Be good siblings.
04:51Wait, what?
04:53Ai, this is my son. He might be a pain, but treat him well, okay?
04:59Of course.
05:01Why is Kimura here? And she's my sister now?
05:05Hey, hero. Missed you.
05:08Is she mad about yesterday?
05:11Wait, you two know each other?
05:14We're classmates.
05:16Wow, what a coincidence.
05:19Dad, this is no coincidence. This is a disaster.
05:24After the surprise remarriage announcement and meeting, I found out Ai and her mom were moving in with us.
05:32Wow, talk about a whirlwind.
05:36Hero, why so gloomy?
05:38You know, why is everything always a surprise with you?
05:43Surprises are trendy.
05:45Not these kinds of surprises.
05:49Am I not part of this family?
05:53To keep things simple, we decided to call each other by our first names.
05:59Ai said she wanted to keep using Kimura at school, though. Doesn't really feel like siblings yet.
06:07Still feel her stares at school, but we only talk when necessary at home.
06:13Still, we're managing this new family life, I think.
06:18Our parents are so lovey-dovey, huh?
06:23Watching them flirt right in front of us feels like I'm paying for some past life sins.
06:30Just when I was getting used to this.
06:33Great, you two seem to be getting along. Now we can leave without worries.
06:39Yes, our kids are so reliable.
06:43Wait, what's with the suitcases? Where are you going?
06:47We're off on our honeymoon.
06:50A month-long world cruise.
06:53I'll get Naomi to dance with me at the ship's party.
06:57Of course, you're my only partner.
07:02Hold up, a honeymoon? Isn't this too sudden?
07:06Everyone goes on a honeymoon.
07:09Yeah, but you could have told us earlier.
07:13Alright, Naomi, let's go.
07:18Listen to me!
07:21This is bad, if they leave...
07:24We'll bring back souvenirs!
07:27Okay, have fun!
07:29Wait!
07:32Guess it's just us now, Kido.
07:35I'm doomed.
07:38Just kidding.
07:40So, think we can talk about stuff we couldn't in front of our parents?
07:46A whole month, huh?
07:49This is gonna be fun!
07:51Hey, Kido!
07:53I'm sorry! I'll do all the chores, just please forgive me!
07:58Huh? Why are you apologizing?
08:02Well, you seemed kinda mad.
08:05I'm not mad. Seriously.
08:08You sure about that?
08:10Hey, I wanna believe it's just my imagination, but...
08:15Kido, are you scared of me?
08:20Uh...
08:22Come on, spill it!
08:24Honestly, I...
08:27I figured I had no choice but to come clean.
08:32So that's what you thought of me.
08:35I might cry all night and never recover.
08:38But, um, since we started living together, I've kinda gotten used to it.
08:43Sorry for saying it like that.
08:46It's okay!
08:47I mean, I did kinda do stuff that might've made you think that way.
08:53Really?
08:55Yeah.
08:56But I didn't expect the guy I like to be scared of me, you know?
09:01Can I ask you something?
09:03Why do you even like me?
09:06Well, it's a bit late for that now.
09:09Late?
09:11I mean, after I asked you out, we suddenly became step-siblings.
09:14Talk about complicated, right?
09:17Y-yeah.
09:19So, bringing that up now would just make things awkward.
09:24I haven't really sorted my feelings out yet, to be honest.
09:29I can't see you as a brother right away, but we're still family now.
09:35Your parents kinda ditched us, huh?
09:37Exactly!
09:39So, how about we start as housemates?
09:43No, friends?
09:46Yeah, that works for me.
09:48We talked about some ground rules for living together.
09:51And just like that, our life together started.
09:55But even with rules, close calls happened.
10:00S-sorry!
10:02Did I stay too long?
10:04I'll get out right away.
10:06Nah, I should've knocked first, right?
10:10This feels way different from school.
10:13No worries, I'm already dressed, so...
10:16Whoa, her shampoo smells so good!
10:20Even with little mishaps, our days pass peacefully.
10:25One day...
10:27Wonder if you'll say it's delicious today, too.
10:30Why, she made that thinking about me.
10:34Alright, gonna add some magic touch.
10:39Turn out delicious!
10:43Just kidding.
10:47So cute! That's totally unfair!
10:51But just a magic touch feels a bit weak.
10:56Yeah, I heard chocolate works like a love potion.
10:59Maybe I'll add some.
11:02Chocolate doesn't really have that effect nowadays,
11:05but I'll keep quiet about that.
11:08Another day...
11:10Here, your lunch.
11:12Hacked all your favorites.
11:14Thanks, as always.
11:16No, thank you for always enjoying it so much.
11:21Her eyes I used to find scary.
11:24They're actually so kind.
11:26How did I not notice this before?
11:29Another day...
11:31Hey Hiro, where is this again?
11:34Can you show me?
11:36Uh, this is...
11:39Oops, got too focused.
11:43Nah, my bad.
11:46Man, that was close.
11:49Time with Ai flew by, and already a month was about to pass.
11:54I was nervous at first, but thanks to Ai,
11:57maybe we're building something good.
12:00I can talk naturally now, and I'm not scared anymore.
12:04Back then, if she asked me out when we were already like this,
12:08would it be different?
12:10What's wrong? You look so serious.
12:14N-nothing!
12:17I guess I really do think Ai's special.
12:21But maybe in Ai's mind, her feelings for me are already in the past.
12:26It might be late, but I gotta let these feelings out!
12:30Hey, listen.
12:32Oh, it's already this late.
12:34Got school tomorrow, so I'm going to bed.
12:37Uh, yeah.
12:40I guess I'll save this talk for another time.
12:43That's what I thought, but...
12:46Oh, come on. Always with the jokes.
12:49It's not jokes. I'm always serious.
12:53Hm? Those two seem to have a good vibe.
12:57Huh? Are they getting close?
13:00You didn't know? He asked her out.
13:03Huh? That's... I gotta make sure.
13:08That night.
13:10Um, so is it true? Are you really gonna date that guy?
13:15Huh? How'd you know?
13:17And I haven't given an answer yet, you know.
13:20I see.
13:22Yeah, he said he wants my answer after exams.
13:26But why are you so worried about it, Hito?
13:28If I don't ask her out now, my feelings might never get through!
13:33Uh, well, I...
13:36Wait!
13:37Huh?
13:39If I listen to all this now, it might make me flustered.
13:43Maybe we can talk more after exams?
13:46Uh, yeah.
13:49Meanwhile, I was getting closer to that guy.
13:53On top of that, she seemed to be avoiding me, and we didn't even see each other at home.
13:59What's going on?
14:01If it's come to this, I gotta talk to her at school!
14:06Hey, I...
14:08Whoa! You scared me!
14:12You still haven't given him an answer, right?
14:14Huh?
14:15I've got something to tell you. Can we talk for a sec?
14:19Yeah...
14:22So, what is it that you want to talk about?
14:27I like you, Ai.
14:29What?
14:30When you asked me out, I was scared and turned you down.
14:34But living under the same roof, I got to know you better and started falling for you.
14:40Hiro, you're not scared of me anymore?
14:44Yeah, sorry for saying I was scared.
14:48Ah, just hearing you say that makes me happy.
14:53Hey, remember the day of the entrance ceremony?
14:58Again?
15:00Well, if he's not posting it on social media, maybe I shouldn't let it slide.
15:04Um, excuse me?
15:07Huh?
15:08You're secretly filming, aren't you? I don't think that's cool.
15:13He's so kind, sticking up for someone who's not even his classmate.
15:18Back then, I knew you were really brave to say that.
15:22Did I really do that?
15:25Yeah, and I started liking you more for being able to speak your mind when it counts.
15:31I found myself watching you whenever I saw you.
15:35But Hiro, were you really scared of someone like me?
15:40Uh...
15:42I know I asked you out in a moment of overwhelming feelings, but I'm glad I found out what you thought.
15:48Huh? Really?
15:51Realizing that when I like someone, I lose myself a bit, it was a chance for me to change my actions.
15:59Hiro, thanks for saying you like someone like me. It makes me really happy.
16:06Same here.
16:08You know, it's a good thing you didn't say all this during the test period.
16:12If you said something like, I support your new love, I might never recover.
16:17So that's why you were avoiding me?
16:20Yeah. Sorry.
16:23You're too cute to stay mad at.
16:27After that, I properly expressed her feelings to the guy who asked her out.
16:32At the same time, news spread that Ai's crush was me.
16:36We started attracting attention from all the students.
16:39As a couple, of course, we reported our relationship to our parents.
16:44Maybe next, it's two couples going on a round-the-world trip.
16:49That's right. You're amazing, Naomi!
16:53Do you think we look like that to everyone else?
16:56Well, we are their kids.
16:59But if we go on a trip, I think just the two of us would be nice.
17:04I want to go on a three-month round-the-world trip with just the two of us, darling.
17:09Huh? That long?
17:12From now on, we'll be spending even more time together.
17:16Hiro, you can't live without me now, right?
17:22Huh? Not true.
17:25Y-yeah, you're right.
17:28I might be possessive, but I honestly feel happy that she cares about me this much.
