00:00I always thought that I'd never be able to fall in love with someone, but now, for the first time in my life, I have a boyfriend.
00:12I always thought that I'd never be able to fall in love with someone, but now, for the first time in my life, I have a boyfriend.
00:34Starting today, I'll be his girlfriend. This is Hananoe from the class next door. He asked me out the day after we met.
00:42You could say he's something of an odd duck. Do I have what it takes to fall in love someday?
00:49Of course you do.
00:52With only a few kind words and a smile, Hananoe gave me so much courage. Is something wrong?
01:01An angel...
01:05Huh? An angel?
01:07Sorry, did I say that out loud?
01:09I'd say he's definitely a little strange. It sure got a lot colder than yesterday.
01:20Hey, don't you have any gloves?
01:23I was running late and forgot them at home.
01:26Are your hands cold? You can wear mine if you'd like.
01:30It's fine. I usually run warm anyway, so I'm good.
01:35I see.
01:37Huh? Wait, did I say something wrong? Come to think of it.
01:41You've gotta be extra careful with what you say when you're dating.
01:45You don't wanna accidentally embarrass your boyfriend, right?
01:48Here, take this. You look cold, babe.
01:53Oh, thank you.
01:55You're the best one.
01:56I see. Since we're dating now, I can't keep behaving like I did before.
02:01I think it's time. We ought to discuss some ground rules going forward.
02:09Ground rules? What?
02:12Like, what should we be doing now that we're going out? Don't you have any goals or specific things you'd want to do with your girlfriend?
02:19Uh... Let me think. I guess I'd be happy if we could eventually get buried next to each other?
02:28Uh...
02:30It's over before it even started.
02:32Oh wait, how do I know? That's not what I mean!
02:34More like normal hugging and kissing, whispering sweet about things and fooling around and stuff, I don't know!
02:39Ah, I see. You wanna fool around with me.
02:43Wait, what? Fool around?
02:46Listen, there's no rush. You don't need to do anything other than be yourself.
02:51I'm the one who's trying to get you to love me. Don't worry so much.
02:59Is it really okay for me to sit back and do nothing?
03:03You two look cute together. Though I never dreamed you'd actually start dating.
03:08That's good for you, but I still don't accept it!
03:11Who are you?
03:12Even if this is just a trial run! Taking my dear Hotaru away?
03:17I don't wanna let him spoil me with love while I do nothing.
03:21I feel like I should be doing my part too. I can't leave it all to him.
03:25I want to experience it firsthand. Liking someone.
03:29Uh, anyway, what do girlfriends normally do?
03:36You're way too naive.
03:40I've gotta get to class. I'll see you after school.
03:43Wait, Hotaru. I wanted to give you something.
03:49What's this? Notebooks?
03:52Finals are coming around the corner, so I took notes for each subject yesterday.
03:56Wait, these are for every subject? And in one day? But how?
04:00Just a bit of hard work.
04:01Whoa.
04:03You're amazing. Thanks so much.
04:09Um, did you stay up all night for this?
04:11Oh, that's the bell.
04:14Home room is about to begin.
04:16See you.
04:17Um, wait, Hananoi!
04:19Hold on a second!
04:22I've gotta do something girlfriend-y for him!
04:24Come on, Hotaru, think!
04:25Oh no, my brain no work!
04:27Hmph.
04:38It's okay. Talk to you later.
04:41Okay.
04:42Okay.
04:43Okay.
04:44Okay.
04:45Okay.
04:47Okay.
04:48These notes are actually really good.
04:50Super easy to understand.
04:52I'm grateful to him, but it feels like he's spoiling me a little too much.
04:57Well, when you like someone, you wanna do everything for them, right?
05:00Sure, but don't you think this is kinda too far?
05:04You wanna do everything for them?
05:06It's been like this since the hairpin incident.
05:09But he keeps on insisting that I don't need to do anything in return.
05:13I know! This one's your favorite, isn't it?
05:17Oh yeah? Here you go!
05:18So hey, thank you!
05:19This is great!
05:20This entire time, I've just been taking.
05:23I know it's only a trial relationship, but I should be giving back, right?
05:28Both people should be having fun when they're going out.
05:37Stop, you'll be fine. I know you've got what it takes.
05:40Yeah, try not to worry too much, okay?
05:42Sorry that I keep talking about this.
05:45If I wasn't such an amateur, maybe I'd know what I'm supposed to do here.
05:49If you want ideas for what to do, why don't you think about what he's done?
05:52You could try doing the same stuff for him.
05:59Yeah, he could.
06:02See you later!
06:03I left half an hour early today, which should give me plenty of time.
06:08After thinking about it, I realized Tananoe was always waiting for me in the mornings.
06:13I bet he'll be surprised when he sees me here already.
06:17Even if I can't make nice study guides for him, this is something I can do.
06:22Oh, Hotaru! Good morning! You got here early!
06:27Dude, what the heck are you doing here?!
06:2945 minutes early. I'm definitely going to get there first today.
06:37Hi, Hotaru! Good morning!
06:40Maybe if I'm an hour early. This time for sure.
06:47Hi, Hotaru! Good morning!
06:50Jeez, Hananoe! How long have you been waiting?
06:54Oh, I just got here.
06:59This boy is a liar.
07:02If you keep coming out here to wait in the cold, you could get sick!
07:06I guess so. But it's worth it to spend every second possible with you.
07:10Oh, that's the reason why? Huh.
07:14Forgive me. I'm trying, but I still don't understand what that feels like yet.
07:22Is this okay? Will I really be able to fall in love like this?
07:27At this rate, I have no idea.
07:29No idea.
07:31Two hours early.
07:33I know I'm just being stubborn at this point, but still...
07:37Let's see...
07:39Alright! I win!
07:41I win!
07:44This is the spot where Hananoe always sits and reads while he's waiting for me in the mornings.
07:53It's so quiet.
07:57I wonder how he'll react when he sees me waiting for him.
08:00He was so insistent on being first. I hope he won't be mad.
08:04Hotaru!
08:05I wonder what he's like when he's angry.
08:09Maybe he'll be surprised? Or even happy?
08:13I hope...
08:15He gets here soon.
08:18Did I just...
08:21Uh...Hotaru?
08:23Hi, Hananoe! Good morning!
08:25He got here way sooner than I thought.
08:27It's so early. What are you doing here?
08:30You see...
08:32Uh...I wanted to do something girlfriend-y.
08:34So I thought that it'd be a nice change of pace if I waited for you.
08:38It's funny. I never realized you got here this early every day.
08:43Um...Are you mad?
08:45No, of course not.
08:47I'm just surprised.
08:49Nobody's ever waited for me before.
08:53Oh, another thing.
08:55While I was waiting, I was starting to get excited imagining how you might react.
09:00Waiting for someone else is so much fun.
09:02So much fun!
09:07Huh?
09:08You were thinking about me while you were waiting.
09:13That's nice.
09:15He looks overjoyed.
09:18I can't believe I actually did something that made another person so happy.
09:23I've never felt anything like this before.
09:26I feel happy too.
09:28It's thrilling.
09:31After this, I think I understand how it feels to be a girlfriend a little bit more now.
09:36Tch!
09:37Are you okay?
09:38Hotaru?
09:39Sorry.
09:40I made you wait out here.
09:42Tch!
09:43You see?
09:45It makes you feel worried, right?
09:47Waiting for two hours is just too long.
09:50Let's warm up in a corner store.
09:52Yeah.
09:53Hananoi, I learned something new today. I want to see you that happy a lot more from now on.
10:04Um, Hotaru? What are you writing?
10:08I came up with a great idea.
10:12Things we want to do?
10:14I just picked this up.
10:16I was thinking maybe we could write down all the things we want to do together in this notebook.
10:21What do you say?
10:23I figured that we could take turns crossing off different ideas from the list.
10:27And there's no rush to get through it all. We can take it easy.
10:41So, what do you think?
10:42It'll be a piece of cake. Let's do it!
10:45You should write down some of your ideas too!
10:48Wait, is that all you want?
11:02Oh wow, you don't ask for much, do you?
11:05We can do this right away!
11:07That day when I took Hananoi's hand for the first time, it felt a little cold and was so much bigger than mine.
11:32I was holding a boy's hand.
11:44The truth is, I want more than you realize.
11:51Before I knew it, it had already been three weeks since Hananoi and I started temporarily... dating.
12:01This looks great!
12:02Day by day, a little at a time, spending time with him started to feel more natural.
12:12Honestly, I was a little nervous at first.
12:16I thought he might suggest we do things that lovers do.
12:20But he's always very considerate and gentle with his requests.
12:23Time continued to pass, and I thought things would carry on in this peaceful way until we reached our Christmas expiration date.
12:32But as that date got closer...
12:35Here, Hotaru, your present!
12:38Since I won't see you on Christmas Eve...
12:40Thanks so much!
12:41By the way, your trial run with Hananoi is ending on Christmas, isn't it?
12:45Only three more days.
12:48It went by so fast.
12:50So tell me, how's it been so far?
12:53He's a super sweet guy.
12:55It's relaxing just being around him, even when we're not doing anything.
12:58I'm honestly a little sad it'll be over in a couple days.
13:01Oh, then...
13:02But...
13:03I'm still not sure if the way I like him is actually love.
13:07The other day, I told him...
13:09If I stay like this and can't fall in love, I still want to be friends with you, if that's okay.
13:15Yeah, no.
13:16He didn't even think about it, so you're still not committed.
13:22It's just really hard for me, you know?
13:24The answer is simple.
13:26Why don't you try kissing him?
13:28What?
13:30Kay!
13:30See what I'm talking about?
13:31Well, if someone you don't like gets too close, you pull back.
13:35It works.
13:36Before we started going out, Hibiki snuck in a kiss one day.
13:39I almost jumped...
13:40Sorry!
13:41Sorry!
13:44Could he forget you ever heard that?
13:47Well, anyway...
13:48Guess Hananoi's a good dude, huh?
13:50Not at all how I imagined him.
13:53In class, he's real prickly and cold.
13:56Just be careful, okay?
13:57You don't have much experience, and you're pretty straight-laced.
14:00The guys in my class totally think he's just taking advantage of you!
14:04Oh no, Kay!
14:05I'm sorry!
14:06He's being rude, I'll train him better.
14:09Oh, no problem.
14:10If I'm being honest here, I think Hananoi does have a certain vibe that's kind of hard to read.
14:16But that doesn't really matter.
14:18He's got good taste if he's into you.
14:20Anyway, no matter how things pan out, I'm on your side.
14:23Thanks.
14:24You're the best.
14:25Hananoi?
14:42Didn't I tell you to walk back home without me?
14:44Yeah, but today is the last day of class.
14:48I wanted to spend a little more time with you.
14:50Okay.
14:51You should have told me.
14:53Hey now, you promised that you'd stop waiting out in the cold for me.
14:57Sorry.
14:58Wanna stop by the corner store again?
15:00Hey, do you see that?
15:01Yeah.
15:02Hananoi's girlfriend looks so boring.
15:04I thought she'd be prettier.
15:05If I was her, I wouldn't have had the guts to go out with him.
15:08Nobody else understands.
15:15They wouldn't say a word if they knew how much I admire you.
15:20Admire?
15:23So hey, we can't hang out very long at the corner store.
15:26How about my place?
15:28You want me to come over?
15:29Yeah.
15:30I want to talk to you about Christmas and stuff.
15:33All right.
15:35Thank you for inviting me.
15:38This is just how I pictured your place would be.
15:47So these are your parents?
15:49Are they at work now?
15:50Yeah.
15:51Their job takes them overseas a lot.
15:53So it's rare for them to come home.
15:56What do they do for work?
15:58Oh, both of them are doctors.
16:01Wait.
16:02If they're gone, does that mean you're always all by yourself at home?
16:05My grandmother comes by to check on me on the weekends.
16:10Ah, I see.
16:11Oh, sorry.
16:13I forgot there's no food in the house right now.
16:15Want to order sushi?
16:17I can't do that!
16:18You're not ordering delivery all the time, are you, Hananui?
16:21I guess I'm getting carried away.
16:24I'm excited you're here.
16:25Um, hey, are you feeling all right?
16:29Your face is still red even though we're inside.
16:32Don't worry.
16:33I'm okay.
16:34Um, why don't I make some tea?
16:36You can wait in my room.
16:37Oh, so this is what Hananui's room looks like.
16:46He has so many books.
16:49This reminds me of Grandpa's house a little bit.
16:52These all look difficult.
16:56This is the only shelf with a curtain.
16:58Don't open that.
17:09Oh, uh, I'm so sorry.
17:11I didn't mean to snoop.
17:14My Hotaru shrine is behind that.
17:17You can peek, but you'd best be prepared.
17:20Hotaru shrine?
17:22Wow, now I'm dying to know what's behind that curtain.
17:25But I'm too scared to look.
17:28Um, nah, I'm good.
17:30Great.
17:34You know, I've been thinking.
17:36You're kind of a mystery, Hananui.
17:38You just noticed?
17:39Well, you're pretty unusual yourself, Hotaru.
17:42Wait, really?
17:44But my family always tells me that I'm way too normal.
17:47Maybe.
17:47But normal folks stay away from those they find strange.
17:51Plus, when you're alone with a guy in his room,
17:54you should keep your guard up in case he tries something.
17:56By something, you mean, like lovey-dovey stuff?
18:00Yeah, that's right.
18:01Lovey-dovey stuff.
18:03I can't imagine anyone wanting to do anything like that with me.
18:08When I hear my friends talking about it,
18:10that kind of thing just sounds so alien to me.
18:13Come on.
18:14I'm sitting right next to you.
18:16Uh, sorry.
18:17I suppose from your perspective,
18:20I'm still not actually your boyfriend, right?
18:24Hold on.
18:25That's not what I meant.
18:27Don't worry.
18:28Figuring that out was the whole reason we're doing this trial.
18:31But you know,
18:32I said this before.
18:34I have no intention of just becoming your friend.
18:37If we were friends,
18:39I'd feel like I was a random member of a crowd.
18:41I don't want that.
18:43I want to be special to you.
18:45Um, what if you can't be special?
18:47If that's the case,
18:49then we could never see each other again.
18:51Hey, I have an idea.
19:03Hananoe,
19:04just once,
19:04would you mind trying to kiss me?
19:08Are you okay?
19:10Uh, of course I don't mean we should actually kiss.
19:13Just, like, hold our faces close together.
19:16My friend's boyfriend told me.
19:18If you do that,
19:19you'll know right away whether you really like someone or not.
19:23Holding hands and hugging
19:24are the kinds of things someone could do with their friends.
19:26But when it comes to a kiss,
19:28I think I'd be able to tell if something didn't feel right, I guess.
19:32Okay.
19:33Let's try kissing then.
19:35Thanks a lot!
19:36I'm sorry if it's a strange idea.
19:38And if it gets too weird or if you don't like it,
19:41we can stop right away.
19:41Close your eyes.
19:44Please, Otaru.
19:45You shouldn't let somebody do this to you,
20:08if you aren't sure you like them.
20:10It may not mean anything to you,
20:23but it's a totally different matter for me.
20:26You have no idea.
20:27Even holding your hand,
20:31just getting to touch you,
20:33makes my heart ache so badly.
20:36Every second now.
