Hey, did you make this?

- Uh, this? Yes, I did. - Looks good!

-Kazuto, let's take a picture. - Thank you very much.

- Kazuto, over here. A shot of you... - You should cool it down.

Kazuto. Look this way for a second.

- I hope you like it. - Mm. Oh, good.

- Isn't it good? - Say "cheese!"

- You cooked it? - Yep.

- I got it. -Did you come up with the seasonings?

-Yeah, I did it myself. - Great job.

- Where are the chopsticks? - So delicious.

- Chopstick rests? - Bring them.

- Nikujaga. - Nikujaga.

This soup... What are you gonna use this for?

- I need some salt. - Uh, this is tonjiru.

But today's main dish is nikujaga and sashimi.

-Okay. - It's tonjiru.

Hey, is this nikujaga made by Ikuo?

- Yeah. - It's so good.

- Yeah! -Mmm, mmm.

SHUN (23) ARTIST

Mmm.

Did you guys have a fun picnic?

- Mmm. It was great. - You had a good time?

-And you? - Mm-hmm.

Thank you!

That's called "lazy."

- "Lazy"? - Yeah.

Thank you. This is called "being kind."

Thank you!

- Awkward. - I have feelings.

- So uncomfortable. -So much tension.

Okay, this isn't good.

Let's put the bento box leftovers in the fridge.

I'll wash the bento boxes.

We got splashed last time.

KAZUTO (27) JAPANESE FOOD CHEF

Oh, this is...

Ah...

It's good.

- Can we talk? - Hmm?

- I want to talk. - Okay.

What's up?

I realize that I left you by yourself at the picnic today.

- No, you didn't. - Yes, I did.

You know, you're all talk.

What do you mean?

You're saying you feel bad that you left me alone there.

Hmm...

But your words and your actions don't match.

I don't think that

you actually practice what you preach.

I don't.

Mmm.

I'm starting to get tired of you.

Mmm.

-I want to tell you one thing. -No, don't bother.

I mean, you can say...

whatever you want, but...

Mmm.

Make me understand

how you feel in another way.

That's all.

It was good... to talk to him.

I mean...

It seems like Shun has decided

that maybe he doesn't want to just be friends.

I think I have a lot to think about.

There were definitely a lot of things that I liked about Ikuo.

But at the end of the day ,

when I saw Shun sitting there,

looking like he wasn't in a good place, like he was depressed

because he wasn't able to confidently express what he was feeling...

it hit me that, you know,

I'm interested in him and it hurts to see him upset.

I see his face and I smile...

I mean... I think I've fallen in love with him.

He adores Shun.

-Dai's showing up in a really mature way. -

He's thinking about how his actions affect Shun.

-It moves him to see that Shun does care. -

-He can't leave him alone anymore. -

Are you gonna drink one now?

I'm making this for Kazuto.

What?

-Caffè mocha? - Mmm.

I thought that was exclusive to Gensei.

- - Oh! That's painful! Painful.

Hmm.

I don't know what to say.

Well, it was the first time I fully realized his feelings, you know?

I see that he obviously likes Kazuto very much.

I don't see a future.

I mean, I think my time here is probably done.

I feel like this is the end.

Mmm.

-The caffè mochas are very special. -Gensei loved his caffè mochas.

For Gensei, the caffè mocha was symbolic of their connection.

- What's Gensei going to do? -I want him to put on Ryota's makeup.

-He hasn't done that yet. - Exactly.

-I really want him to do that. - He has to.

And he'll put on Ryota's makeup, Stand behind him and do his hair.

And he'll have a teardrop in his eye, butt Ryota doesn't notice.

-He's thinking about Kazuto. -

- You can already see it. - Yeah!

- - Oh, stop it already!

- - It rang.

"The coffee truck will be closed today."

- Okay. So, now what? -

"You'll be going to a racetrack instead."

- What? - "To have a go-kart contest."

-What? -Oh, my gosh!

- Sounds like fun. - Awesome!

"The winner will be able to ask one person that they choose..."

What?

"...to fulfill a wish that they have."

My wish?

That's interesting.

- - Did you hear that?

Are you serious?

Be careful what you wish for.

The only person I want to go on a date with is Shun.

I want to talk to Ryota one more time.

I'll tell Kazuto that I want to go on a date with him.

The one person I'm thinking about is Kazuto.

Yeah. I'd like to spend some time with him,

and get to know him better, that's all.

I'll try again with Kazuto.

Working at the truck or doing anything with him is fine.

I want to do something just with him.

I wonder what Kazuto's thinking?

I don't know what to wish.

Maybe making breakfast with Ryota, or something.

But I don't know.

I feel like I want to spend a little more time alone with him.

I want to go on a date.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

This is insane!

- Wow! This looks fun. - Oh, I want to try!

- A proper circuit. - I want to go .

Look at our names on that screen.

The top two will be in the final round, right?

- Kazuto, third place means nothing! - This circuit is huge!

Go for it!

- - Let's go!

- - Has it begun?

- Has it started? - It has!

- It's started! Taeheon! -Yeah!

Taeheon is so fast!

- Good start, Taeheon! - Get it, Taeheon!

Whoo!

KAZUTO

- Isn't Ikuo good? - Ikuo is good!

-So fast! - So fast!

- Amazing. - Wow.

- Shun is second. - Here he comes!

- It's Shun! - He's badass.

SHUN

Who do you think will come in first? I bet Mr. Alan.

- No, I... I think it's Dai. - Uh... I bet it's Gensei.

Whoo!

Oh!

My feet can't reach it.

- He can't reach the pedal! - That's adorable. He's cute!

- Good luck! - Here we go!
