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〜)

RAMUNE

- Shige. - Yeah?

- Please try this. - Okay.

Is this kinpira?

Yes.

Yeah, I think it's good.

Thank you.

You've stopped… making Korean appetizers.

Huh?

Our customers loved them. They were really good.

Sorry…

- Can I get a refill on my shochu? - Yes.

A shochu refill.

Okay.

Welcome.

Good to see you!

Welcome.

Hello.

I brought the files that I was talking about.

- I'll get a drink and wait for you. - Okay.

SCORCHED RICE FLAVOR

It's not working at all…

Did you eat?

You don't have to come here every day.

I have tomorrow off, so I can hang out with you all night.

Let's go.

Here.

Thanks.

That's right, you can't do spicy, huh?

It's too spicy.

Jun-ho, your eyes are half closed.

We should head home soon.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry.

Can I borrow you for a bit longer?

I just had so much fun today.

When I'm alone,

I can't stop thinking about Taiga.

Just one more drink. Please?

It's on me.

Okay? Just one more.

- Shall we? - Let's go!

The sports magazine Clayton is holding an anniversary party.

CLAYTON'S ANNIVERSARY PARTY

The editor-in-chief of this magazine was at the reception you did the other day.

I see.

The soup that you served…

Um…

Dak gomtang?

That's the one! He really liked your dak gomtang.

He wants you to serve that at this party too.

What do you think?

Is there a problem?

No, it's fine.

I'd love to do this.

I'm glad.

- I'll ask Shige too. And I'll read this. - Okay.

I almost forgot. Did you get notified about the reunion?

Yeah…

You won't be coming again this year?

Yeah…

Are you serious…

I can't anymore…

Let's break up.

SO ARE YOU COMING TO THE REUNION?

I wanted you to look at me

I wanted you to pay attention to me

Will you please stay by my side?

I like you

She really doesn't try to hide that she's sad about the breakup.

I wish I could be that open.

Hey…

You're not going to ask Rin out?

You like her, right?

As long as Rin is happy, that's all that matters.

Really…

You can't be the one to make her happy?

Please…

Stop!

Put it on here, please.

Thank you.

I like you.

"I like you." Or something like that?

Sorry for poking fun at you.

Rin only sees me as family.

If I tell her how I feel,

she will have no one else

to rely on in Japan.

Hey…

Want me to take Rin home?

What?

She can sleep at my place.

Thank you.

To be honest, I didn't think

I could stand to hear her say, "Taiga" anymore.

I see…

Smells good…

You're awake? Want to eat?

Yeah.

I will.

It's ramyeon!

Ramyeon?

Like ramen?

Yeah.

There are a lot of words that are similar in Japanese and Korean.

Really? Like what?

Family, promise, ignore, impossible, free.

Wow, I understand all of them!

That's funny.

Taiga also learned Korean words for me…

All right, all right. Forget about that for now.

The ramen is ready, so get eggs from the fridge.

But you know…

I'm kind of envious

of how you're so honest with your feelings.

Huh?

I mean,

I think you're very fortunate to be able to openly express

your love for something.

You think so?

I've never thought about that.

Well,

you and I come from different backgrounds.

Backgrounds?

Yeah.

What I want to say is that you're very lucky.

All right, the ramyeon is ready.

Let's eat.

- Yeah. - It's hot!

Sakumoto?

CHIEF MANAGER SAKUMOTO EIJI

I work for a company called Neo Meal Japan,

and specialize in nutrition planning and meal management for athletes.

SAKUMOTO EIJI

The President's Award?

That's right.

She's on a roll.

Hey, Rin. Have you seen this?

What?

As expected, Amane won the President's Award.

It's no surprise, I guess.

There's an interview too.

I don't know what my strength is but…

I have never lost the urge to create something,

or forgotten the excitement.

When I'm creating something, I can't think about anything else.

I don't even feel the need to eat…

These are the kind of people we call "creators," huh?

I bet she's never run out of ideas of what to make.

If you had an infinite amount of time and money,

what would you like to create?

Rin?

Is something wrong?

Huh?

Um…

Sorry…

Rin?

All right.

I'm glad you got the day off today!

Sorry for replying so late.

Hey, everyone. Long time no see.

- Man, that's brutal. - Poor guy.

He got an endorsement and he's a reserve?

Hey, it's Taiga!

- It's been so long! - You never hang out with us!

- Have a seat! - Excuse me.

- Oh right, you guys haven't seen him, huh? - We haven't!

- I have, here and there. - What? Really?

I went to ask because I didn't know.

- But it had nothing to do with it! - It didn't!

- He just said that randomly. - I know.

They're different from back then, aren't they?

Yeah.

When we were in college,

we were all rivals.

So we always felt tense around each other.

Not just me, but probably all of them.

Maybe I should have come here earlier.

People aren't as involved in your life, as much as you think.

Yeah…

And now was just the right timing, I think.

You look like you're doing much better now compared to before.

Isn't that because you found something you want to do?

Well…

If that's the case,

it wasn't my own doing.

It was Rin.

It's thanks to her.

I was able to see things more positively about myself.

I see.

Things are good with your girlfriend, huh?

Not really, actually.

What? You broke up?

I'm not sure.

I don't know, but…

But?

It's nothing.
