The Boyfriend (ボーイフレンド)

Hi! We're home. Welcome back.

-We're back from our date. -Hey.

-I had a good time. -Fun?

-Yeah. -Yeah, we had fun.

Nice!

-They're back. -Hmm?

Where are they?

Oh, there they are! Oh, gosh.

They look happy.

-Yoo-hoo! -Welcome back!

-Welcome back. -We're home!

Everyone is here!

-Yeah, we're all here. -Welcome back.

So, were there any new developments?

-A lot of progress. -Ohhh...

-Yeah. -There was a lot.

-How about you? Any progress with you? -I'm jealous.

Mmm.

Can you tell us about it?

-We slept. -Come on!

-Yeah. -What?

We slept.

So you had sex?

Yes.

You did? Really?

It's a lie.

He's lying to us!

He won't tell us if they had sex.

-He was so convincing! -Did you guys kiss?

You did it.

-How do you feel? -There's an afterglow.

Which means the kiss must've been good.

-Oh! -They're enjoying the afterglow.

-The afterglow has lingered a long time. -It's still there.

A very long time.

-That was a great kiss. -Shun is a really honest guy, isn't he?

Dai's giggling, but I bet he's also like, "Don't tell them."

-Mmm. -Gosh!

I have a lot of questions.

Of course, you can ask me anything.

-When your name and Ryota's were called... -Yeah.

It seemed to me that you looked pretty happy.

Did I?

But it wasn't the same kind of happiness that Dai had when his name was called.

Well, I had known Ryota liked Kazu...

had feelings for Kazuto quite a while ago.

-Mmm. -He told me when we were at the picnic.

-Mm-hmm. -I was happy about the date itself.

But there were also a lot of mixed feelings.

-That makes sense. -Mm. Mm-hmm.

Did you notice when the couples came back this morning

that it seemed like Ryota looked a little bit sad?

-I saw it on his face. I sensed it. -Mm-hmm.

When Kazuto and Alan came back,

I could tell that Ryota was still thinking about him a little.

So what do you think you're gonna do now?

I don't think that telling him how I feel about him now would make a difference.

I'm guessing it would just be counter-productive.

Hmm.

I need to take a little space and figure things out

before I have another conversation with him.

That would be the best thing I could do.

For example, Alan said that

figuring out how to find happiness

is the key to choosing a path.

-Oh, that's right. -He said happiness is something he values.

And I happen to be someone who totally agrees with his opinion.

So now, I'm just trying to figure out what would bring me happiness,

look at the things that would make me happy or not, and then choose a path.

I think if I tell Ryota about the feelings I have for him,

I'm not gonna be happy with how it goes.

Oh. Uh-huh. Hmm.

I'm going to think about it for a while, like, tonight. Mmm.

But don't think too hard.

Hmm. Right.

So how have you been doing, Taeheon?

Well, the other day I asked everyone about their coming out experiences.

- Mm-hmm. -Mmm.

-You guys gave me courage. -Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

But, um...

Hmm.

But I'm still pretty scared about it.

-I don't know what I'm going to do. -Hmm.

-I want to be able to tell my parents. -Mmm.

-But how should I tell them? -Mmm.

I know there are a few different ways they could respond to my confession.

Mm-hmm.

-They'll both be shocked. -Mmm.

Hmm. Yeah, your daughter is... No, I'm not your...

-Your son is! Your son is, um, is gay. -Mmm.

And on top of that, the whole world is gonna know about it.

Mmm.

So now, I'm concerned about what they'll think.

-Mmm. -Hmm.

But I think it could be a good opportunity.

Hmm. Hmm.

If you hadn't been involved in this show, when were you going to tell them?

I mean, I didn't have, like, a road map or a specific time planned

to tell them about any of this, so...

-Hmm. -Mmm.

-But you wanted to tell them. -Mmm.

This is a good chance!

-You're right. -You're not doing anything wrong.

During my time in this house,

I feel like I've made real connections with all of you.

We're more than friends who meet up once in a while.

-Mmm. -And that's encouraging for me.

Mm-hmm.

I hope that I'll be able to tell them without overthinking it.

That's good. Then we shouldn't think too much.

-Right! -Don't worry, you can do it.

Taeheon is not in love with anyone in the house,

but his story really belongs on this show, don't you think?

-It does! -Absolutely.

I think it's beautiful how he found strength with them.

So Gensei revealed that he wasn't sure

if telling Ryota how he felt at this point would make a difference at all.

Maybe he thinks expressing his feelings to Ryota would just make him uncomfortable.

-It's a lot to think about. -Yeah.

- They aren't together? -Why not?

Wait a minute.

Good morning, Taeheon.

Seriously, I don't know what's going on with Shun right now.

I think

maybe,

when we were together I did something that he- didn't like,

or that was a little, you know...

Ahem, ahem, ahem.

He might've taken something negatively.

I'm waiting for his reaction or some clue.

-What happened to them? -No way, nothing just changes overnight.

-All of a sudden. -Yeah.

-Oh. -It rang!

-"Good morning." -Good morning.

Good morning.

"Today's shift will be announced."

-Whoa. I can't wait, let's hear it! -Great!

"On today's shift,

Gensei will be in charge of the coffee truck."

-Oh! -Yay!

-Oh! -Yeah!

"Gensei, please choose one person you would like to have work with you today."

-What? -Just one?

-Oh! -Now Gensei gets to choose.

-This is his moment to show how he feels. -Let's see.

-Please work with me. -Me?

-Is that okay? -I'd love to.

-Have fun. -Mm-hmm.

Oh, gosh!

You're a little pale. Do you need some makeup?

You don't look so good today.

-Please! -Isn't that rude?

You have dark circles.

I have to be careful and avoid the freckles area.

Yeah, please.

-Those are part of my charm. -Yeah.

- It's good! -Wow! Cool!

-You should let your hair grow. -Oh.

-Starting now? -Yeah.

It's nice to do hair and makeup for someone you care about.

When someone does your makeup, their face is right in front of you.

Yeah, I bet Gensei's heart is pounding.

-Okay. -All right.

Did you practice your drawing?

No, I didn't.

I'm pretty sure you could work as a real barista anywhere.

You make the coffee quickly, and it looks beautiful.

Thank you so much. I'm flattered.

-Here's the guava juice for you. -Thanks.

-There's straws there. -Thanks.

Feel free to take one.

-Bye. -Thank you.

Nice!

-1,900 yen. Oh. Good1 -Wow.

-We earned... -We earned...

-More than the first day. -More than the first! All right.

-Let's have fun. -Let's do it. Let's have fun.

- It's already a fun memory. -Yeah.

-He mistook the handwriting. -Yeah, Gensei misunderstood.

That's right.

Let's make a list of things to do today.

-Gym and soaking up the sun. -And the pool?

Can I be by myself?

-Sure... -What?

-That's... -Okay, but what happened?

Right now, I can't enjoy myself around somebody.

That's why I need a little space.

From us?

From him.

-From Dai? -Mm-hmm.

Dai, you must be wondering why Shun is saying that.

Mmm.

If you have something you need to say, you can share it.

Tell us why you're upset.

It's a hassle.

-Dai? You wanna say something? -No.
