[00:01] Jin
This was me in the last episode!
[00:03] [SONG] text
A Provided Lady
[00:04] Jin
I had my first experience with one
of Ichikawa's beloved BL manga
[00:06] Jin
and then had a really dirty dream.
[00:08] Jin
Do I actually like Ichikawa? Or love him?
[00:14] Jin
This must be a lie! A nightmare!
What's happening to me?
SIGN Twilight Out of Focus
SIGN Twilight Out of Focus
SIGN Let me see what I'm
dealing with here...
SIGN Speaking of which, didn't
we kiss once before?
[01:54] Jin
This is exactly what I dreamed.
[01:56] Giichi
You fell asleep reading that.
[02:00] Giichi
I'll lend it to you if
you haven't finished it yet.
[02:03] Giichi
I've already read it. But it is
my sister's, so don't mess it up.
[02:13] Giichi
You're gonna be late to class.
[02:16] Jin
I'll be fine, Ichikawa Giichi. You go ahead.
[02:19] Giichi
All right. See you later.
[02:25] Jin
"See you later," he said. How cute.
[02:28] Jin
What?
[02:30] Jin
What, what, what?
What the hell do I mean, "cute"?!
[02:36] Tsuchiya
You late? How unusual. It's already noon.
[02:39] Chiaki
You just got here? Are you sick or something?
[02:42] Jin
No big deal. I jerked off, fell asleep,
and when I woke up, I was late.
[02:46] Rei
What, you having a hard time with something?
[02:49] Chiaki
He had a hard something.
That's why he was jerking off.
[02:54] Rei
Nah, nah. This guy never talks dirty.
Something's definitely going on.
[02:59] Jin
You're overthinking it, Rei.
[03:01] Jin
I'm not some pure, pristine
superman, you know.
[03:04] Rei
So there's nothing wrong at all? Really?
[03:07] Jin
Really nothing.
[03:09] Jin
I had a dirty dream
straight out of a BL manga
[03:11] Jin
and my partner in it was Ichikawa. Yeah...
[03:14] Jin
because I like Ichikawa.
[03:17] Jin
And I absolutely do not
want these guys to find out!
[03:21] Jin
There is definitely nothing wrong.
I'm just trying to concentrate on the shoot!
[03:25] Rei
Even more suspicious.
[03:27] Jin
Enough about me. Can I get
a report from each team?
[03:30] Chiaki
It's an absolute mess. We're having
trouble getting everyone together,
[03:34] Chiaki
so we're running behind on everything.
[03:37] Tsuchiya
This didn't happen at all last year.
[03:39] Rei
College entrance exams.
[03:41] Rei
I'm sure some members are distracted
because they're stressed about exams.
[03:45] Chiaki
Yeah, but still, this is the last
movie we're making together!
[03:49] Chiaki
I'm sure everyone wants to be a part of it.
We've done everything together so far.
[03:53] Rei
Well, that's true.
[03:55] Jin
Enough, enough. I can't
handle all the gloomy talk.
[03:59] Jin
We're a lot more skilled than we were
last year, so we'll just cover for them.
[04:03] Jin
Team leaders should inform me
if there's any changes in their crews.
[04:07] Jin
Making sure everyone can work
on the film is my responsibility
[04:11] Jin
as club president.
[04:13] Tsuchiya
Okay. Then let's have
a good shoot after class.
[04:16] Chiaki
Oh, crap! My class after lunch
moved to a different room!
[04:20] Jin
I thought I'd be invincible once I got to
my third year. That nothing could stop me.
[04:25] Jin
But now that I'm getting ready
to hang up my school uniform,
[04:29] Jin
I feel haunted by
an anxiety I can't identify.
[04:33] Jin
I guess there are moments
when, deep down,
[04:35] Jin
even "invincible" third-years can
get jealous of the second-years.
[04:39] Jin
They've got it so easy right now.
[04:42] Jin
They'll never hear that from me, though.
[04:44] Giichi
Welcome home! I've been waiting for you.
[04:48] Jin
Thanks.
[04:49] Giichi
Here, have a seat.
[04:51] Jin
So what's up?
SIGN Fantasy Rendezvous
[04:52] Giichi
I picked out a bunch of stuff for you!
SIGN Please, Class
President!
SIGN Please, Class
President!
[04:55] Giichi
I got a bunch of cute, lightweight
stories that should be easy to read.
[04:59] Giichi
Check out a cute, uniformed student council
president looking all academic in glasses!
[05:03] Jin
That's it?
[05:04] Giichi
You don't want them?
[05:06] Jin
No, I do. Let me see one.
[05:09] Giichi
Okay. Here's my number one recommendation.
[05:12] Jin
The art's good and it looks easy to read.
[05:14] Jin
Oh boy.
[05:16] Giichi
Stop! Right here!
[05:17] Giichi
This line hits so hard!
[05:18] Jin
You probably don't even realize it, but
you're making me really uncomfortable.
[05:20] Jin
Are you trying to spoil
the whole thing for me?
[05:24] Jin
Let's see. "Damn it. You can be
so stubborn sometimes."
[05:29] Jin
That sounds off.
[05:30] Jin
"Damn it! You can be so stubborn sometimes!
[05:35] Jin
I know you keep your feelings hidden,
[05:37] Jin
but right now you need to let me hold you.
[05:41] Jin
Close your eyes and listen to my heartbeat."
[05:46] Jin
The words do create a nice sense of rhythm.
[05:49] Jin
Huh?
[05:54] Jin
Wh-What's the matter, Ichikawa Giichi?
[05:57] Giichi
Why'd you have to read that whole part?
[05:59] Giichi
I wasn't ready for that.
[06:02] Jin
Could that possibly mean
[06:05] Jin
that my performance was
so convincing it made you blush?
[06:09] Jin
That I read it so well you felt
like I was really coming on to you,
[06:14] Jin
and you got embarrassed?
[06:15] Giichi
Sh-Shut up, man!
[06:17] Jin
You've... got to be kidding me!
[06:20] Jin
Th-That's so damn adorable, Ichikawa Giichi!
[06:23] Jin
Let me see your face right now!
[06:25] Giichi
Seriously, shut up! You're too loud!
[06:28] Jin
I see, I see.
[06:29] Jin
So the superstar of the film club can,
in fact, enchant Ichikawa Giichi.
[06:35] Giichi
Would you shut up and leave me alone?
And quit calling yourself a superstar!
[06:40] Jin
I meant it when I said
you're adorable, though.
[06:43] Jin
You used to always look so grumpy.
[06:45] Jin
I'm glad I've been able to see other sides
of you since we started living together.
[06:50] Jin
You can get so quiet when you're alone.
And you're always reading, right?
[06:58] Jin
You actually greet me with a smile.
[07:01] Jin
Sometimes you can't stop
talking about your interests.
[07:04] Jin
I never would've known that person
if we hadn't lived together.
[07:08] Jin
So I do like you. You are
really cute in some ways.
[07:13] Giichi
Would you quit calling me "cute"
with a straight face like that?
[07:18] Giichi
It's embarrassing, you arrogant jerk!
[07:20] Jin
But I'm serious.
[07:23] Jin
Oh, shoot. I should've sweet-talked him more.
[07:27] Jin
I should've gazed more
at his blushing, red face.
[07:32] Jin
Oh. Is that why?
[07:34] Jin
Is this love?
[07:36] Jin
Yes. The king of the film club
found his first love.
[07:41] Jin
And it was his rival. His prospects
seemed grim. Perhaps it was not to be.
[07:47] Jin
But when the two were alone... surprise,
surprise... the mood would suddenly change.
[07:51] Jin
However, dear king, you mustn't forget
[07:54] Jin
that your partner is a monster, a film freak,
[07:57] Jin
and that you live in very different worlds.
[08:03] Jin
I'm back.
[08:07] Giichi
Then I've gotta cut right here...
[08:09] Jin
This is the first time he hasn't responded.
He must be really concentrating.
[08:16] Jin
So much that he can't hear my voice.
[08:19] Jin
It's almost scary.
[08:25] Jin
Chiaki? Tobe?
[08:28] Jin
What's going on?
[08:29] Chiaki
We've got to talk.
[08:31] Jin
Huh?
[08:32] Jin
You want to quit the club?
[08:34] Jin
Wait a minute. Do really have to quit?
[08:38] Jin
Your part is really important this time.
[08:41] Chiaki
The partner that Jerome gets separated
from on the journey, Space Panther Sigma.
[08:46] Chiaki
The four-legged walking rehearsals,
also the Sigma costume...
[08:49] Chiaki
We've designed all of it
to fit Tobe's body type.
[08:53] Chiaki
If we change now, it would really
throw a wrench into the production.
[08:56] Jin
But why? You requested
the role yourself, didn't you?
[09:02] Tobe
Because at this rate, I won't get
into the college I want to go to.
[09:07] Jin
I get it. Yeah, that is stressful.
[09:09] Jin
But can you still try to play a small part?
[09:13] Jin
We can split up the rest of your work, so
as long as you can act in the Sigma scenes...
[09:18] Tobe
There's no way!
[09:19] Tobe
You want me to waste all my energy on club
stuff that won't help me get into college?
[09:24] Tobe
Why are we even doing this?
This whole thing is so stupid.
[09:28] Jin
All right. Then can you give us a day?
[09:31] Jin
We'll rearrange the schedule so you
can stay as involved as possible.
[09:35] Giichi
Hey. You over there!
[09:38] Giichi
You sound really serious about
your college worries and all that,
[09:41] Giichi
but these guys have entrance exams, too.
[09:44] Chiaki
Oh, you're right.
[09:46] Chiaki
Huh?
[09:48] Chiaki
Hey! Stop it!
[09:49] Giichi
The guys who have to cover for you
are all studying for exams!
[09:53] Giichi
They're all third-years!
[09:55] Giichi
You think you're the only one who's
got better things to do right now?!
[09:58] Jin
Ichikawa! Would you shut up?
[10:00] Giichi
No, I will not shut up.
[10:02] Giichi
Do you even hear yourself?
You call yourself a director?!
[10:05] Giichi
Why try to keep this quitter from leaving?!
[10:08] Giichi
He probably just doesn't want to
go crawling around on all fours
[10:11] Giichi
in some stupid costume in front of a camera.
That's why he's running away!
[10:15] Giichi
You must be able to realize that.
Don't cover for a guy like this!
[10:19] Giichi
If you can't make the right call,
you're no director—
[10:21] Jin
Shut the hell up!
[10:30] Jin
Sorry for yelling like that.
Let's talk about it more tomorrow.
[10:34] Jin
It'll be roll call soon. You should get back.
[10:37] Chiaki
Let's go, Tobe.
[10:38] Chiaki
Tomorrow, then.
[10:41] Giichi
I'm not wrong, though.
[10:43] Jin
I know. You're always right, Ichikawa.
[10:47] Jin
I'm no director. I'm just
a plain old club president.
[10:51] Jin
I keep an eye on everyone and
run around trying to put out fires.
[10:56] Jin
I've even thought about quitting myself.
That's why I can't really blame Tobe.
[11:02] Jin
There's no way Ichikawa
would understand how I feel.
[11:05] Jin
He's dreamed of becoming a movie
director ever since he was a kid.
[11:09] Jin
There's no way Ichikawa would get it.
[11:13] Jin
But it's almost over, anyway.
Once I graduate, I'm quitting filmmaking.
[11:18] Giichi
You can't—
[11:20] Jin
Enough, enough.
No more film talk in this room.
[11:24] Jin
Promise me that, Ichikawa Giichi.
[11:27] Giichi
Why?
[11:28] Jin
First, there's no point lecturing me on film
theory when I don't plan to continue in film.
[11:33] Jin
That, and I want us to get along.
[11:38] Jin
Once movies are out of the picture,
[11:40] Jin
we should be able to enjoy
our time together in this room.
[11:44] Jin
Because I...
[11:47] Jin
I like you, Ichikawa Giichi.
[11:53] Giichi
In the previous episode
and part A of this episode,
[11:56] Giichi
I became roommates with my nemesis,
third-year student Kikuchihara Jin,
[12:00] Giichi
and we bonded over BL manga.
[12:03] Giichi
Kikuchihara seems like someone
I should keep an eye on.
[12:06] Giichi
"I've got to take responsibility and
turn him into a proper boys' love fan!"
[12:10] Giichi
...is what I was thinking, when he
suddenly confessed his love for me!
[12:14] Giichi
What kind of BL manga does that?!
[12:17] Jin
Ichikawa.
[12:25] Jin
Sorry. I'll go cool my head.
[12:31] Giichi
What... What the hell is happening?!
[12:34] Giichi
What could this mean? Does he want us
to get into a BL-type relationship?
[12:39] Runa
Mao's asking how many minutes
we're shooting with each person.
[12:42] Runa
Hey, wake up.

[12:51] Giichi
Ugh...
[12:54] Giichi
No way! Those are both
totally different people!
[12:57] Giichi
Talk about going out of character.
[12:59] Runa
So, kick him out?
[13:00] Mao & Teru
Mm-hmm.
[13:01] Giichi
He looks like he'd be a super-boyfriend,
yet the reality is anything but.
[13:05] Giichi
I realized after I moved in
that he's actually a total mess.
[13:08] Giichi
He's got such harsh mood swings. One second
clammed up, freaking out the next...
[13:14] Giichi
or getting angry.
[13:17] Giichi
Why am I like this? I always
blurt out whatever is on my mind.
[13:22] Giichi
Sometimes it's best not to speak the truth.
[13:25] Mao & Teru
Whaddya know?
[13:27] Runa
Now, all of a sudden?
You were worried about that?
[13:29] Giichi
Always worried. Totally worried.
[13:32] Giichi
But I'll still never regret
or retract a thing I said!
[13:34] Runa
And you'll never be able to
repair a friendship like that.
[13:37] Runa
So what's the point of worrying about it?
[13:40] Giichi
I just want to avoid burning any bridges.
[13:43] Mao
B-But you're the one
who always lights the fire.
[13:46] Teru
If you want to stay friends
with someone, just apologize.
[13:51] Runa & Mao
Teru spoke!
[13:52] Giichi
Whoa!
[13:54] Giichi
I don't think I was wrong. But still...
[13:58] Giichi
Kikuchihara was looking out
for a member, and I tore him down.
[14:03] Giichi
That's something that deserves an apology.
[14:07] Jin
Welcome home. I've been
waiting for you, Ichikawa Giichi.
[14:11] Giichi
Th-Thanks. You were here waiting for me?
SIGN The Right Time
for Love
[14:15] Jin
Give me the next volume.
I can't wait to read it.
[14:18] Giichi
O-Oh.
[14:20] Giichi
I have to apologize.
[14:22] Giichi
So there are four volumes so far.
I'll leave them here.
[14:26] Jin
Thanks.
[14:27] Giichi
I have to apologize. We have to talk.
[14:31] Giichi
Talk about the film club's movie.
[14:35] Giichi
Hey, Kikuchihara—
[14:35] Jin
The bottom with the glasses in this
manga reminds me of you, Ichikawa.
[14:40] Jin
He's cute.
[14:41] Giichi
Huh?!
[14:44] Jin
He's cute.
[14:46] Giichi
Hey! Quit saying that! I'm nothing like him!
[14:50] Jin
Really? But you're both uptight,
[14:52] Jin
and the way you get mad when
you're nervous is exactly like him.
[14:56] Jin
During the dirty scenes, I imagine
that it's you instead. Uh-huh.
[15:02] Giichi
Y-You shouldn't read BL
for such impure reasons!
[15:04] Jin
What's impure about reading something
because a character reminds me of someone?
[15:10] Giichi
Think what you want, but don't say it
out loud. Keep it to yourself.
[15:13] Jin
How could I keep this to myself?
[15:16] Jin
I already told you my feelings.
Of course I'm going to come on to you.
[15:19] Jin
Whenever you drop your guard,
I'm gonna hit on you.
[15:24] Jin
Anyway, can I put my head on your lap?
[15:26] Giichi
Th-This guy!
[15:28] Giichi
I was careless. Careless!
[15:31] Giichi
I forgot that he's a total playboy!
[15:34] Giichi
If I'm not careful, I'll get
swept away by his advances!
[15:38] Runa
Can I knock some sense
into him? It's cool, right?
[15:41] Mao
Mm-hmm.
[15:43] Runa
Jeez.
[15:44] Giichi
Damn it.
[15:46] Giichi
This seriously pisses me off.
[15:48] Giichi
All this stuff about falling for me is just
a smokescreen to keep us from talking shop.
[15:56] Giichi
You coward, Kikuchihara.
[15:59] Rei
That's what you call him now? At least
add "president" or "senpai" or something.
[16:05] Rei
Yo.
[16:06] Member B
No way! Inaba-senpai?!
[16:08] Member A
What? He's here?!
[16:11] Mao
This is unusual. What brings you here?
[16:13] Rei
Reconnaissance mission.
What are you guys shooting?
[16:16] Runa
That's our secret.
[16:18] Giichi
Hey! Kick him out. This guy's a spy!
[16:21] Member B
Is that something for the festival?
[16:22] Rei
Yeah. Wanna see?
[16:24] Member A
I'd love to see it!
[16:25] Rei
You can mess with it if you want.
[16:27] all
Whoa!
[16:28] Member A
Insane!
[16:31] Member
They're putting this in the movie?
[16:32] Rei
So, you were fighting again?
[16:34] Giichi
This guy is such a pain.
[16:37] Rei
Tobe decided to stay in the film club.
[16:40] Rei
Jin said Tobe started going out with
a girl from his cram school. Just recently.
[16:46] Rei
We'll give him a new role, a small one,
with a fancy costume and good close-ups,
[16:51] Rei
and he'll stay on, Jin said.
[16:54] Rei
Want some gum?
[16:55] Giichi
So he just wanted to show off
to his girlfriend? How stupid.
[16:59] Giichi
That's going to mean more
work for everyone else.
[17:01] Rei
Well, yeah. Chiaki and I do
actually have more to do now.
[17:05] Rei
But still, Jin... the director
made the right decision.
[17:10] Rei
We should be able to finish the film
without losing anyone.
[17:13] Rei
In the Kikuchihara crew, the director
watches out for all of the members.
[17:18] Rei
People say that Jin's
confident and a showoff,
[17:22] Rei
but he's actually really
considerate and kind of shy.
[17:26] Rei
He isn't cut out to be a director. But, I think...
[17:30] Rei
that's exactly why we believe
in him and follow his lead.
[17:34] Rei
And you next year? You think those guys will
follow you all the way, Director Ichikawa?
[17:41] Rei
Our director is the best director we have.
I'd appreciate it if you lay off him some.
[17:47] Giichi
I don't think you guys
understand Kikuchihara at all!
[17:52] Rei
What the hell, Ichikawa? And you do?
[17:54] Giichi
I read his script!
[17:57] Giichi
The first draft that nobody had touched.
It was really, really good.
[17:57] [SONG] text
Jin
To the edge
Then, sinking
The orange-colored sunset
glowing.
Jin stands still.
The sea breeze gently rustles Jin's hair
Jin "I..."
Jin relaxes his grip
drops the knife.
As if beckoned, Jin takes one step. Then another.
Leaving his footprints in the sand
Jin "I, I... !"
From the corner of Jin's eye
come.
Tears rolling down his cheeks catch
[18:02] Giichi
The last scene, alone at
the beach, is really moving.
[18:06] Giichi
When I read that script, I could visualize
the picture that Kikuchihara wanted to show.
[18:11] Giichi
But after the second and
third draft, it just got worse!
[18:15] Giichi
There can only be one reason.
[18:16] Giichi
Because you other members forced all
of your dumb ideas into the story, right?
[18:20] Giichi
He may act like a jerk, but he isn't stupid.
[18:23] Giichi
How do you think he felt watching his script
get chewed into pieces like that?
[18:28] Giichi
Can you even imagine what that feels like?
[18:30] Giichi
Of course they can't.
[18:32] Giichi
Cutting scene after scene, rewriting lines,
changing the story, and having to accept it?
[18:38] Giichi
You have no allies when that happens.
A director is always alone.
[18:43] Giichi
Even if you have a crew,
a ship only has one captain.
[18:47] Giichi
I do understand.
I'm a director just like him.
[18:50] Giichi
Only directors can understand
other directors!
[18:54] Giichi
It's your guys' fault he's so spread thin
that he can't express himself fully!
[18:58] Giichi
Why won't you let him do his work freely?
[19:00] Giichi
The real Kikuchihara
is naive, romantic, kind...
[19:04] Giichi
and... that's the kind of
movie he could make.
[19:09] Rei
Okay. I get it now.
[19:13] Rei
Is that right? Is that how you've
felt about Jin all this time?
[19:18] Rei
Wow, seriously? And here I thought
it was totally one-sided.
[19:23] Rei
You should tell him.
[19:25] Giichi
Huh? How much do you know?
[19:28] Rei
That he would be really happy to find out
that you respect him as a director.
[19:33] Giichi
Oh, that?
[19:35] Rei
Hmm?
[19:37] Rei
Well anyway, I don't think the problem
is that he isn't free enough.
[19:41] Rei
He is our director, after all.
[19:45] Giichi
And that's your parting shot?
How aggravating.
[19:50] Giichi
Anyway, he seems to be
right at home here on my bed.
[19:56] Giichi
When we were shooting today,
Inaba showed up.
[20:00] Giichi
Hey, I said I saw Inaba after class.
[20:05] Giichi
Pass me that volume 2.
[20:08] Jin
Here.
[20:09] Giichi
So you did hear me!
[20:12] Jin
That hurts.
[20:13] Jin
Did he say something?
[20:15] Giichi
He told me to leave you alone.
[20:17] Giichi
He doesn't want me getting
in Director Kikuchihara's way.
[20:21] Giichi
Come on, turn around!
[20:25] Giichi
Do you hate it that much
when I talk about movies?
[20:29] Giichi
Are you going to just keep your back
turned and pretend you can't hear me?
[20:33] Giichi
That Tobe guy stayed in the club, huh?
[20:36] Giichi
So you let another member
mess up your script again?
[20:39] Giichi
Look at me.
[20:40] Giichi
That isn't right! A director has to
be more selfish. Even bossy, sometimes.
[20:44] Giichi
When you don't look me
in the eye, I feel so alone.
[20:50] Jin
Hey.
[20:52] Jin
What is this?
[20:54] Giichi
No, I just... wasn't thinking.
[20:58] Jin
You realize stuff like this
really turns me on, right?
[21:06] Giichi
He looked at me.
[21:07] Giichi
Hey! Wait!
[21:09] Jin
I have to be selfish and bossy
sometimes, right?
[21:12] Giichi
I meant as a director—
[21:15] Giichi
Damn it! This is so aggravating!
[21:17] Giichi
But I don't hate it at all.
His body heat feels so good!
[21:23] Giichi
I feel like I'm getting carried away.
[21:25] Giichi
No, I want to talk to you!
[21:29] Giichi
About something serious, deep in my heart.
[21:32] Giichi
I want to talk!
[21:34] Jin
Ichikawa.
[21:38] Jin
You're crying?
[21:40] Chiaki
Jin? Got a second? You asleep?
[21:45] Jin
Damn it.
[21:46] Jin
I'm coming.
[21:49] Jin
What's up?
[21:51] Chiaki
Listen...
[21:52] Jin
Let's step outside.
[22:09] Giichi
A picture?
[22:11] Giichi
That's me, and...
[22:15] Giichi
Who?
