00:00Thank you for listening.
00:30Thank you for listening.
01:00Maybe you need more love than I can give right now? Or maybe... it's that you and I weren't meant to be soulmates.
01:08Uh-oh. Sounds like a breakup fight.
01:17Hold on. I don't know the girl, but isn't that Hananoyi?
01:21Hananoyi who?
01:22Are you kidding, Hotarun? No way! He's the tall hot guy in the class next door that everyone says is in the 99th percentile.
01:30What? Do you pay attention in school at all? How do you not know him?
01:35Oh, I'm sorry. It's hard enough for me to remember the names of everybody in my own class. Much less one I'm not even in.
01:42What do you mean? It's December!
01:44Oh, please! Good luck trying to find anyone of quality who will put up with your load of crap!
01:49Ah, just goes to show you even hot guys get their hearts broken sometimes, huh?
02:03How could you say something like that to someone you had strong feelings for?
02:11Haven't you heard that a love that strong can become an even stronger hate?
02:14It's true. You'll understand once you're finally in it.
02:18I don't want to fall in love. To let one person become more important than your friends and family?
02:23I'd never want to do that, so maybe the dating thing isn't for me.
02:26You've got to stop using that excuse!
02:28So, this is an awkward segue, but I do have something to tell you!
02:32I'm in it! I have a boyfriend now!
02:35Cool. Congratulations.
02:37That's it?! No way! You're supposed to be excited or be wrecked that you won't see me anymore!
02:43That's kind of asking a lot, don't you think, Kyu?
02:47I'm Hotaru Hinase. I'm almost 16 years old and in my first year of high school.
02:52I haven't cultivated a love life like most high schoolers.
02:56But I'm so blessed to have good friends and a great family.
03:00I love the simplicity of my life.
03:02I get to enjoy the little things because I'm not distracted by romance.
03:06If I have to sacrifice ever falling in love for emotional peace,
03:10I think I'd be okay with that.
03:12At least that's what I'd always thought.
03:17He's out here without an umbrella?
03:19That breakup must have put him in shock.
03:23That's what I mean, though.
03:24Why do people want to fall in love when they end up so sad?
03:29What in the world does it feel like?
03:31Um, hi, this is...
03:39So you don't catch a cold.
03:47I never imagined...
03:49That the umbrella I held out for him that day.
03:52You're Hotaru Hinase, right?
03:54I remember you.
03:58You're very nice.
04:00I would love to be your boyfriend.
04:04Could be the very thing to change my life forever.
04:08Not even in my wildest dreams.
04:10Have you ever seen anyone as gorgeous as that guy?
04:18I can't look.
04:19Oh, hey, Hotaru.
04:21Good morning.
04:22Hello, Honanoi.
04:24I mean, good morning.
04:25You weren't waiting for me, were you?
04:27I was.
04:28I'm so sorry if I wasn't clear, but I declined yesterday.
04:32You were perfectly clear.
04:33But I thought I should let you get to know me first.
04:42Look over there.
04:43Is that the girl Honanoi asked out yesterday?
04:45It's so crazy that he decided to do it in front of the whole class.
04:48The good-looking guys can get away with stuff like that.
04:51I'm just shocked he's not trying to snag some sick bae, you know?
04:54Shut up, she'll hear you.
04:56Are you okay?
04:58Hotaru?
04:58What?
05:00Sorry, what'd you say?
05:02Oh, I was asking you about the kind of things that interest you.
05:06Also, what hairstyles do you like?
05:08Hairstyles?
05:09If I had to pick, short hair is easier.
05:13Short hair's cool, sure.
05:16Hey, uh, would you please tell me why you want to date me?
05:21Well, when you held your umbrella out for me, I knew that it must mean that I found my soulmate.
05:26You said something like that yesterday, too.
05:32I mean it.
05:33I get approached by a lot of people.
05:36But once they get to know me, they drift away.
05:39They say I'm strange or even creepy.
05:42And that they're disappointed.
05:44I guess it's because I look the way I do.
05:47They expect me to fit into some weird mold.
05:50And then, you showed me genuine kindness.
05:53Just because I was a person in need?
05:55I found that so beautiful.
06:02Take care.
06:05Hey, is this real life?
06:06Are you seriously walking to school with Hananui now?
06:08Uh, good morning, Kyo.
06:10Hi, Shibamu.
06:11Good morning.
06:12I thought you told him no!
06:13Did you decide to take him after Rob?
06:15Please don't leave me out here all alone!
06:17Take a deep breath.
06:18I definitely told him no, but then he asked me if I'd get to know him first.
06:22And then I'd give him my decision.
06:25Huh.
06:26Okay, and?
06:28Has your impression of him changed at all?
06:30Hmm.
06:31So far, he seems complex.
06:40Can I carry that for you?
06:42Uh, sure, thanks.
06:43I was just taking it to the faculty room.
06:46Oh, wow.
06:47Your hair!
06:47You cut it!
06:48It's short!
06:49Of course it is.
06:51This is the style you said you liked, isn't it, Hotaru?
06:53When you asked me about hairstyles, you weren't talking about my hair, were you?
06:57So then, you don't like it?
06:59Did you really cut it because of what I said yesterday?
07:02Uh-huh.
07:03I'm working on my look first.
07:04Aw.
07:05Have I left you speechless?
07:08Sorry, it's just...
07:10It's fine, it's fine.
07:12You said you're heading to the faculty room, right?
07:14I'll go with you.
07:15Thank you so much.
07:16That's a huge help.
07:17I'm sorry, Hananoi.
07:21I appreciate everything you're doing for me.
07:25But I've never dated anyone.
07:27And I don't know what it's like to have feelings for someone in that way.
07:31Sometimes, I think I might be a robot or a cyborg.
07:36Beep boop boop boop.
07:37Well, if you've never tried, maybe this could be the perfect opportunity.
07:41Oh.
07:42Now you can experience it for yourself.
07:44Like a sample.
07:45Test drive being my girlfriend until, like, Christmas.
07:49I can't do that.
07:50We'd basically just be planning a breakup.
07:54I'm wired differently, that's all.
07:57People like me have no business falling in love.
08:01There's no such thing as someone who doesn't deserve love.
08:04He is quite the enigma, but I'm okay with it.
08:13I think.
08:20Don't hate me!
08:21I told my boyfriend I'd have lunch with him.
08:23And I gotta go to a club meeting right now.
08:26Sorry.
08:27Yeah, I'm sorry, too.
08:29Guess I'm on my own today.
08:32Hi, Hotaru.
08:33You free?
08:35Do you want to eat together?
08:39Wait, what was I thinking?
08:41Maybe this isn't such a good idea.
08:44But I didn't want to have to turn him down again.
08:47Hotaru, you have to see this.
08:49Doesn't it look good?
08:49Sweet nectar of life!
08:52Is that a pork bun?
09:00Thank you so much!
09:01Yeah, my pleasure.
09:02I know how much you like them, so please have at it.
09:10Here.
09:11Why don't we share it?
09:13It looks amazing!
09:17So good!
09:26Do you like it?
09:28Yep.
09:29It's delicious because I'm eating it together with you.
09:33The taste depends on who you're eating it with?
09:36Okay, I think I can understand that feeling.
09:39You lost your earrings?
09:41No.
09:42I took them out.
09:43I got the impression you weren't into flashy jewelry.
09:48Um, actually...
09:49I meant to bring this up with you earlier.
09:52You really don't need to change anything for me.
09:55Just be yourself.
09:57Keep enjoying the things in life that make you happy.
09:59Okay.
09:59If it bothers you, I'll put my earrings back in.
10:06Wait, that's not...
10:08Hold on.
10:09I think I only have one.
10:11I must have dropped the other somewhere.
10:13Oh, well.
10:14What?
10:15Do you want me to help you look for it?
10:16No, it's really no big deal.
10:18A lot of guys only wear one earring.
10:25I don't understand why he keeps making all these changes for me.
10:30Who?
10:31Hananui?
10:32Obviously, it's because he likes you and he wants you to like him too.
10:36Hey, you guys.
10:38Do any of you have hairpins I can borrow?
10:40These are all I have.
10:42Will they work?
10:43You're a miracle worker.
10:44Thanks, Hina-sei.
10:45I'll give them back.
10:51I can't help it.
10:53I feel like he's doing way too much still.
10:56I mean, the whole earring thing.
10:59They're against the dress code, so he obviously likes wearing them.
11:02It's like he doesn't care about his own feelings.
11:05And that really bothers me sometimes.
11:07Hey there, Houtarou.
11:12You want to walk home together?
11:14Oh, Hananui.
11:16Sorry, I can't.
11:17I have to go look for something on the field.
11:19It's all my fault.
11:20I lost one of our hairpins.
11:22Come on.
11:23It's no big deal.
11:25Right now?
11:26It's getting dark.
11:27And look out there.
11:28Huh?
11:28I hate to disappoint you guys, but I don't think you're going to find it now.
11:38I'm sorry, I'm the worst.
11:39I'll buy you a new one, okay?
11:41I promise I'm not upset.
11:43I know you didn't mean to.
11:45Sorry to drag you out here like this.
11:47But if you want, I guess we can walk home together.
11:50I really should look for it.
12:00I guess I can go first thing in the morning.
12:07Yes?
12:08What's up, Hananui?
12:09Hi.
12:10Sorry to bother you.
12:11I just wanted to ask you a quick question.
12:14The hairpin you lost, does it have a ribbon on it?
12:17Uh, no.
12:19It's a little gold star.
12:20Gold star, huh?
12:22Then this isn't it.
12:25That's all I needed.
12:27I'll see you tomorrow.
12:28Wait!
12:30What's going on?
12:32Where are you right now?
12:34Please tell me you aren't still at school.
12:37You're not, right?
12:40I'm not.
12:47Hotaru, where are you going at this hour?
12:50To school!
12:54There's no way.
12:55He can't be there.
12:57No normal person would go searching for a single hairpin in the snow.
13:04Then again,
13:05this is Hananui we're talking about.
13:08He's not normal.
13:09No.
13:23Hotaru?
13:24What are you doing here?
13:29I'm so sorry.
13:31I really wanted to surprise you.
13:33But I haven't found it yet.
13:35It's okay.
13:36Okay.
13:39But why?
13:42I'm sorry.
13:43It still doesn't make sense to me.
13:45It's cold.
13:46Why are you here?
13:51Because I...
13:53I really wanted to make you smile.
14:01That's it?
14:03All these extreme gestures
14:05are to make me smile?
14:09I promise I'm fine.
14:17Please go back home and get warm.
14:19I've just got one more area to check.
14:21Hananui, why?
14:25Hananui!
14:31Please, stop this.
14:33That's enough.
14:36Getting a hug from you makes it all worth it.
14:38You're so dumb!
14:42Uh-uh.
14:45Seriously!
14:46If you make yourself sick looking for this stupid hairpin,
14:49I'll be hurt.
14:50It won't make me happy at all.
14:53I see.
14:55I guess...
14:56That makes sense.
14:57I'm weird, huh?
15:00People always tell me I go too far.
15:02That's not the point!
15:04If you don't warm yourself up,
15:06you're gonna die out here!
15:08I'll be okay.
15:10Helping you isn't going to kill me.
15:13And if it did...
15:15So long as I made you smile,
15:17I'd die happy.
15:18If it means only one person gets to be happy
15:23and the other one is hurt,
15:24I never want to fall in love!
15:33Excuse me.
15:33I need to borrow a blanket and towel.
15:35By the way,
15:52I noticed Hananoi hasn't been around lately.
15:55Yeah, I know.
15:56Did you two get in a fight?
15:58I didn't think you even knew how to get mad.
16:00I honestly don't think
16:03I could face him right now anyway.
16:05I've never yelled at anyone like that before.
16:09Look!
16:09Speak of the devil!
16:27Hi, Hotaru.
16:29Hi, Hananoi.
16:31I'm really sorry.
16:32I'm gonna stop bugging you so much.
16:35I just wanted to give you something.
16:37Is this the one?
16:39Oh, and don't worry.
16:41I went back after the snow melted.
16:43Yes, that's it.
16:46The set was a gift my family gave me.
16:49Did I tell you how important it was to me?
16:52You didn't, but...
16:54I did notice...
16:55You have very specific items
16:57you like to use all the time.
16:58You wear those a lot.
17:00So I knew you'd be sad if you lost them.
17:04I understand.
17:06He values the things that are important to me.
17:09And he takes better care of them than I do.
17:12If that's what it means to love someone...
17:16Then maybe...
17:18It could actually feel wonderful.
17:21That reminds me.
17:25I have something I've been meaning to give you, too.
17:29Here you go.
17:30It must have fallen on the ground when you were using the vending machine.
17:36Go ahead.
17:37Put it on.
17:41There.
17:42The other one was looking lonely by itself.
17:45They look much better together.
17:48You should always take care of the things that are most important to you.
17:51You're right.
17:53You're right.
17:53Sorry.
17:54He looks so sad.
17:56But it's kind of cute.
17:58Whenever I'm with Hananui, I discover new feelings I've never had before.
18:05If I spent more time with him, I might start to understand what it's like to be overwhelmed with emotion.
18:15And maybe what it's like to fall in love.
18:19There's no such thing as someone who doesn't deserve love.
18:22See ya.
18:28Hold on!
18:31Please, just listen.
18:32I, um...
18:34I just wanted you to know I don't hate you.
18:36There was never a time where...
18:38Where I didn't know you were a genuinely good person.
18:41I don't think it means that I like you in that way right now.
18:44But it's been fun.
18:46And you do make me really happy sometimes.
18:48So, um...
18:49I don't know.
18:50Do you think someone like me might be able to figure it out?
18:57Do I have what it takes to fall in love someday?
19:01When I heard that girl say...
19:03Good luck trying to find anyone of quality who will put up with your load of crap!
19:07I felt like she was talking to me.
19:09She certainly could have been.
19:11I don't know what's wrong with me and why I can't feel that way for someone.
19:16Why is it so hard for me to let go?
19:18Well...
19:19I'm the only one who's never felt love.
19:22You will, though.
19:27There's no doubt in my mind your day will come.
19:30And you'll know exactly what it's like to love someone special.
19:33Well...
19:34I don't know.
19:39Were you...
19:40Huh?
19:41Were you serious?
19:43About giving it a try?
19:45Huh?
19:46Are you saying...
19:48You want to try dating me?
19:50It doesn't mean I'm definitely going to be able to make it work.
19:59It just means...
20:01I want to know what it's like to fall in love!
20:03Uh...
20:03Um...
20:09Hananoi?
20:10Hold on.
20:11Everyone's looking at us.
20:12Let them.
20:15I'm so happy.
20:16And that's how it happened.
20:22That was the day I ended up with my very first boyfriend.
20:26Not that anything was different other than giving him a new title.
20:30I have a feeling that Hananoi's idea of love, and whatever it turns out to be for me,
20:35won't necessarily be the same thing.
20:38But at the very least...
20:38I've taken my first step into this new world.
