Gimbap and Onigiri (キンパとおにぎり〜恋するふたりは似ていてちがう〜)

MAMAMON

Mom?

Finally, you picked up!

I don't hear from you at all lately!

How is your move going?

I'm working on it…

Also, you don't need to come and help me this time.

You don't need me to go?

Yeah. It's so sudden, anyway.

I have school too, so…

How can you move all by yourself!

I'm really okay.

I'll try to do what I can on my own.

Your application was accepted.

Thank you.

I will get all the contracts ready as fast as I can.

Okay.

I GOT THE APARTMENT

YAY

KAEDE REAL ESTATE

I HOPE I CAN SIGN THE CONTRACT ON MY OWN.

I'M NERVOUS. I SIGNED IT!

Is he not on lunch break yet?

RIN

Taiga.

You should take a break when you can too.

Okay.

Shige.

How were this week's appetizers?

They were good.

I'll leave the appetizers to you from now on.

- Okay! I'll do my best. - Good.

TANOMI

All right…

RIN

RIN

I'M NERVOUS.

I SIGNED IT!

Communication issues, huh?

You'd better solve that as soon as you can.

This isn't the first time, right?

Why are you ignoring the problem?

If we take the time to get to know each other,

won't these issues solve themselves?

Park Rin.

Are you going to eat the onigiri one grain of rice at a time?

At this rate,

you'll never find out what the stuffing is.

But we just started dating.

If you're dating,

then stop stressing about it all on your own,

and sink your teeth into Onigiri Man!

Okay?

TANOMI

And ketchup for the pork chops.

- Okay. - Here is the shopping list.

- Okay. - Thanks.

Good evening.

Hey, Rin. Good to see you.

Welcome.

All right, then. Maybe I'll go home.

- I'll leave the rest to you. - Okay. Good bye.

Bye.

Annyeong.

Sorry for showing up so suddenly.

Just give me a second.

I'll be done soon. Come in.

I got my apartment.

What? That's great! Which one?

The last place we toured.

This place, huh? That's great. Congratulations.

Thanks.

Wow…

What?

It's almost your birthday.

Yeah, it is.

I'll ask Shige if I can take that day off.

What? Really?

Let me celebrate it.

I'd love that.

But first, we have to celebrate your new place.

Here it is.

How cute.

RAMEN - OPEN

What a cool place.

You've never been to a ramen stand?

But I've seen them in anime.

Welcome.

Let's sit down.

- For two, please. - Two? Okay, have a seat.

- Two ramen and… - Two ramen.

What do you want to drink?

I'll have a highball.

Two highballs please.

- Two highballs. Okay. - Thank you.

Thanks for waiting. Here's your highball.

Thank you.

Well then, cheers.

Cheers.

My photo of this stand is getting likes.

Social media? Do you upload a lot of photos?

Things like food and doodles.

Did you draw that?

These are by an artist that I love.

Every piece is so unique.

I've been a long-time fan.

I see.

Anything else?

Do you want to ask me anything?

What?

I want you to get to know me better.

And I want to get to know you better too.

Did something happen?

Taiga, are you not that good at keeping in touch?

When you don't read my messages,

or a day goes by without a word from you,

I start to wonder if you have no interest in me.

I get worried.

Thanks for waiting. Here is your ramen.

NOODLE HOUSE MIYABI

Enjoy. Thanks for waiting.

- Here is your ramen. - Thank you.

I'm sorry.

From now on, I promise I'll contact you once a day.

Just once a day?

I didn't mean that literally.

What I mean is, I'll work on it.

Thank you.

Let's eat.

- Thank you. - Enjoy.

It's delicious.

Yeah, that's it.

Did you find it?

Thank goodness.

Can you hold onto it until the night?

Okay.

Bye. Oh, wait.

Sorry, this might be really random, but…

What? What is it?

What kind of gift

would make you happy?

Huh?

Well, it's almost Rin's birthday.

I was thinking about what to get,

but nothing really stood out.

Birthday, huh?

There's no point if someone tells you what to get.

Wouldn't she be happy to get something that comes from your heart?

- You think so? - Yeah.

Well…

The beginning stages of dating are always fun.

So take your time and think.

I'll do that. Thanks. Bye.

Mom.

Mom, wake up.

- Noa? - Drink water.

RAMEN

- Excuse me. - Yes?

Do you have this?

We don't carry that. I'm sorry.

I see.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for this book.

I guess it's out-of-print, and I can't find it anywhere.

All right.

- It's eomma… - You don't need to answer it?

It's okay. It'll be a nightmare if she finds out you're here.

I'll call her back later.

Taiga.

Can I move your stuff over there?

I'll do it!

Helping her move, huh?

Taiga is so the type to pamper his girlfriend.

Not like some boyfriends out there who do slots on pay day.

Here.

- Have some oshinko. - Thanks.

Welcome.

Go ahead and have a seat.

Please sit.

What is he saying?

He's asking if there's an English menu.

We don't have that.

Of course we don't.

He's saying something…

Delicious.

Good, good…

Thanks.

Should I make an English menu or something?

That's true…

We get a lot of foreign customers lately, so that would be great.

But don't expect too much.

- Of course I have high expectations. - Don't.

In addition to English,

we need French,

- Italian, Spanish, Korean… - No, no!

It's done!

Good work. Here.
