00:00I should pull the trigger! Ask her out! Make the lie the truth! That's it!
00:06Let's put an end to this. Together. All of the lies. Gone for good.
00:12Kazu's a menace. And I'll save you.
00:15What will I do?
00:16A three-day, two-night stay at the Hawaiian Spa Resort!
00:20Hawaii!
00:21All I want is for you to live a happy life.
00:23I'm sorry if I kept you waiting.
00:24I'd never do anything to ruin my life.
00:25What if I told you there was a way to be his girlfriend?
00:27I didn't know.
00:28Like, for real.
00:29As in...
00:30Pocket 9, it's all catching up to you.
00:33So I never gave myself the chance to let loose, especially in a resort like this.
00:37Let's put an end to this, right here, right now.
00:43Thanks for the invite.
00:45Really?
00:46Tell me the truth.
00:47Is Kazu just one of your clients or something more?
00:50You're gonna settle this problem!
00:52Give the ring back and tell Granny Nagomi everything!
00:54I'll be right there with you!
00:57Whoa!
00:57Hold it right there!
01:00I can't.
01:02Huh?
01:14What if I told you to do this as a client?
01:16This is your last chance ticket to freedom.
01:20Huh?
01:22I want to rent you out, Chizuru.
01:24You won't say no, right?
01:26You won't say no, please...
01:33Ah...
01:34Oh, you won't say no?
01:49It's my tea ball.
01:50Oh, God.
01:51I thought it was another one coming in the morning.
01:55Oh, oh!
01:56Oh, oh!
01:56Oh, oh!
01:58Oh
02:26Oh
02:56Oh
03:00People are low-key obsessed with the idea of love if I want to keep a conversation going at a
03:05party
03:05All I have to do is mention hot guys clingy partners or diets
03:10Just go online or walk past a magazine rack and you'll see it
03:14Look I'm not saying it's a bad thing people are free to try to find their soul mates or rent
03:19them out. I mean you do you
03:21The truth is life is all about killing time until we die anyway
03:26The first time my parents threw away something that I loved I was only four years old
03:31There was Berta
03:33Staring at me from inside of an enormous garbage bag headed for the curb. I
03:38Remember his face more clearly than my maternal grandma who died that year
03:43Class comes from upbringing. That's what dad always said at least
03:47So whenever we kids messed up he would take it out on our mom
03:52That was the norm unfortunately
03:55The stereotypical controlling father he was staunch in his beliefs
03:59He made sure we weren't exposed to any ideas that didn't line up with his own
04:04The first time I met the Hakuba boy I was nine years old
04:08Go on. Why don't you say hi to our new guests. It's nice to finally meet you mommy
04:13It's nice to meet you too. I
04:17I had no idea my parents were scheming behind my back
04:20I read nothing into the frequent dinners we had with their friends who were a good family as they'd say
04:26They were just dinners to me and
04:29He was just some boy who was slightly older than me
04:31nothing more
04:34I went to a combined middle and high school your classic rich girl academy
04:39Thinking back my father saying was basically its mission statement the rules were super strict and since it was an
04:45all-girls school
04:46There were almost no interactions with boys
04:50Also, I didn't learn this until after I'd graduated
04:52But my dad had influence over the teachers and even the principal as well
04:58I'd come home after school every day to find that my room had been thoroughly cleaned cold is more accurate
05:06There'd be photos and books missing
05:08Anything that failed to meet my dad's standards would get thrown away. I
05:13Guess he got what he wanted. I mean I was the picture of a perfect classy daughter who did exactly
05:18what she was told
05:20Who wouldn't want an obedient pet like that?
05:23Something was budding inside. I didn't know it. I didn't think much about where my life was headed after all
05:30this was how things had been since I was born
05:33Thanks to my mom's hand-me-down smartphone. I was able to have some semblance of a social life
05:41It's hard to know you're a flower about to bloom when you're busy tapping red and yellow smileys
05:47It wasn't just me though
05:49My dad didn't realize that even pets can have that burning desire to be set free
05:57Seriously?
06:00You might want to cool it with the celebration, okay?
06:04He was a boy from the next high school over
06:06He was bright sincere and sweet and he cared about his family
06:11I'd seen him at the station a bunch of times before but we didn't officially meet until some mutual friends
06:16introduced us
06:17We hit it off talking about the same game we played and three weeks later. We were dating
06:22His name was Taro when I asked him what his family name was he said urashima just like in the
06:28folk tale no cap
06:29I didn't tell my parents of course my father wouldn't be happy about the fact that he wasn't going to
06:34a prep school
06:35And when I told Taro about my circumstances, he said we could take all the time we needed
06:41It was wonderful. We were the kind of couple you'd see at any high school
06:45We went on your standard dates
06:47Giggled about the silliest things
06:49Fought over stuff that didn't matter
06:51Had normal boring meals
06:54Dreamed of our future life together and made naive promises. We could never keep
07:01Hanging out with him gave me a taste of something I had never experienced
07:05I was walking a tightrope between a sickeningly sweet romance and the daily gamble of potentially getting caught
07:12Looking back on it now the whole affair was quite a rush
07:15I promise I'm gonna make you happy
07:18I'll be super successful and I'll convince your dad too. We'll find our happily ever after
07:33Before long a fog lifted inside me and I could see clearly my whole life
07:39I had followed my parents every word and stayed on the tracks they laid out for me, but now
07:44After getting derailed for the first time ever
07:47I could see the light and it was enough to illuminate the feeling that was blooming inside me
07:53I wanted to lay my own tracks in life cherish the things I held dear and spend my future with
07:58him
07:59Finally I had desires of my own
08:03That feeling intensified over time until eventually it sparked a revolution within me
08:09Are you all right?
08:11You sure about this?
08:13I'd spent 15 years living in darkness, but now there was a ray of hope shining ahead like a beacon
08:20leading me to freedom
08:22I am
08:23It took me a while to sneak out
08:25Why?
08:27Why should I break up with Taro?
08:30Because you're going to marry Hakuba
08:34What?
08:34What?
08:35It's my freaking life!
08:36Why do you get to decide that for me?
08:38Mommy
08:38Young lady
08:40Don't you care about what happens to the family your grandfather and I built up?
08:44What?
08:45Really?
08:46Don't you sit there and guilt trip me?
08:48Please what kind of father treats his kids like pawns in a game?
08:51What the hell gives you the right to tell me who I'll miss?
08:59What would a child like you know?
09:02People bow before power and authority
09:06Love and passion don't stand a chance in that fight
09:09They never have
09:11They act mighty but that doesn't change the fact that their hands are tied
09:15Are you Urashima?
09:17Ultimately when life gets rough they bend the knee
09:33In that moment
09:35Whatever fragments of my inner child still remain
09:39Died instantly
09:42And yet there was nothing I could do to change what happened
09:46Sure I thought about running away and starting a new life
09:49But with college coming up throwing my current life away for independence and starting from scratch seemed unrealistic
09:56Plus I lacked the knowledge skills and courage to pull it off
10:00It just wasn't an option
10:02In the blink of an eye my revolution had died
10:05I thought it so important but how easily I let it go in favor of the safe route offered by
10:11the same people who'd killed it
10:13My hands were tied and I had no choice but to bend the knee
10:17The stones I desperately stockpiled for a war against my dad ended up becoming boomerangs
10:22Coming back to shatter my own glass house instead
10:26After everything part of me wondered if it was all doomed from the start
10:30I wanted a happy life with Taro
10:32So I rejected the will of my overbearing parents with a big childish cry for independence
10:38You could say I did it for love
10:40On the other hand you could say it was my rebellious phase
10:45I've thought about it a lot
10:46But honestly I still don't know which one it was
10:49Let's be real
10:50When things get that intense who can accurately label their true emotions
10:57All right here you are
10:59Love and romance may make for good conversation starters
11:02But these days I see them as nothing more than the labels you slap on after the fact
11:08I'm not resentful in trying to start a war
11:10I have no delusions about being able to help someone else
11:13It's not even about revenge or my ego
11:16Nothing like that
11:19The reality is when I see two people in love
11:22All I want to do is tear them apart
11:25I want to rent you out Chizuru
11:28You won't say no, right?
11:33I feel like yelling at them to quit playing their stupid love games
11:36This is truly your last chance
11:40Let's go
11:41We need to tell her the truth
11:50It's fine, put that away
11:52I'll go voluntarily
11:55Seriously?
11:57Alrighty then
11:58Is there nothing else I can do?
12:02Hello?
12:04I'm sorry I couldn't reply
12:06Where are you right now?
12:08It's just that I'm with Chizuru and I thought it would be best to talk in person
12:12You want to meet in your room?
12:14Got it
12:14We'll head that way now
12:23Come on
12:23It's time to go
12:33Okay
12:34Clearly they're taking too long
12:35What is everyone up to?
12:37Sure we didn't know if the grown-ups or the boys would show up
12:40That rental girlfriend couple said they'd be here
12:43Hang on a sec
12:44It's hard to imagine they're not together
12:46What if they just fail on the whole thing?
12:49Oh no
12:49What if those two end up hashing it out?
12:53I don't have a second to waste
12:54I need to call them like right now and
13:03It's you
13:03It's you
13:04What is this guy doing here?
13:06Did he come by himself?
13:07Why?
13:08Why is he staring at me?
13:10It's not like he could have anything to talk to me about
13:14I'm sorry
13:15I was just getting out of the pool
13:16If it's Kibe you're looking for, he's not here
13:20Being alone with him would be super awkward
13:22Plus I have bigger fish to fry
13:24Not Kibe
13:27Huh?
13:31I came out here to see you
13:32You what?
13:35You hear that?
13:36I came to see you
13:37He's gonna declare his love
13:39This kind of thing only happens at a nice resort
13:41You don't think it's a flash mob do you?
13:43Like I
13:45I knew you would be here
13:49Really?
13:50Come on, this is not the time
13:52Chizuru and Kazuya might be together all alone
13:56He came to see me?
13:57But why?
13:58What could he want?
13:59Everything about this is cringey
14:02It was way weird when we talked yesterday
14:05None of this makes any sense
14:06There's only one thing we could possibly talk about
14:10Kurebayashi
14:11I want to thank you for renting me out the other day
14:14What's done is done
14:15He better not bring it up again after all this time
14:18The last thing I want is for Kazuya to show up and see the two of us by ourselves and
14:22think we're getting cozy or whatever
14:24I have nothing to gain from this
14:26End of story
14:27You can't do this
14:30I don't want to talk alone, okay?
14:32I get it
14:33We're both here by some strange twist of fate
14:35But it isn't like we're friends
14:37We can at least agree on that, right?
14:40Yeah, I guess you're right
14:42I'm sorry
14:45This is for the best
14:46I mean, I do feel bad for him
14:48But I can't think of another way out
14:50Besides, I need to call those lovebirds ASAP
14:53Ow!
14:59Poor kid
15:00Did he sit?
15:05And he's alone too?
15:06He's trying to pretend nothing happened
15:08Yo, Drama King
15:10So cringe
15:11If I end up like him, kill me
15:13Kid's a loser
15:22I forgot to bring more context
15:23I only have a day's worth
15:47I was too chilly after getting out of the pool is all
15:54Well, I'm here
15:56What did you want to talk about?
15:58Hold up
15:59That chick's with him?
16:01But she's like super hot though
16:02Think she's an idol
16:03So gel like
16:04Don't come here
16:07What do you want to do?
16:08I won't go
16:08I don't care
16:26I don't know
16:27What do I do?
16:34away did you get to tell her the truth i didn't oh i see
16:50it must have been hard for you and so painful but you don't have to worry anymore
16:57we'll explain everything together like we're on a team i'll tell her you didn't
17:02do anything wrong and that the blame lies with kazu alone
17:10let's go
17:23why is he so quiet what even is this i stayed because he said he wanted to talk to me
17:28but
17:28he's been clammed up for like a whole minute now why am i alone with this weirdo this is peak
17:33awkward overload seriously i just can't with this vibe so we talking or just sitting here
17:48whatever it is you want to say can you just be a man and spit it out already if you've
17:52got a problem
17:53with me i'll hear you out okay is this about when i embarrassed you i'd be mad about it too
17:58if i were
17:58you it makes complete sense after what happened so you came here to tell me i was unprofessional and
18:04you know what you're totally not wrong all right feel free to hurl all the trash talk you want at
18:09me
18:09i can take it i hope it'll make you feel a lot better too that's not it
18:17it made me happy to see you what like when your name vanished from the site i started to get
18:28kind of
18:28worried i'm not mad or anything anymore i mean i'm the one who was trying to act cool when i
18:36couldn't
18:36get a real girlfriend in the first place all i came here to do was to tell you that nothing
18:42more
18:45and that's it i'm out later
18:59jeez what's this deal oh is this it such an old-fashioned design isn't it looks like
19:08it's straight out of a period drama or something did you try it on
19:14never no not even once yeah people might freak out if they see it huh what even matches it you
19:20know
19:24when we tell her the truth i wonder how granny nagomi will react but you have to admit she's kind
19:29of at fault too who jumps the gun on a wedding ring when a couple has only been dating for
19:34like a year
19:37i still remember when we were dating and he asked me to meet his grandma it was like whoa maybe
19:42we
19:42should slow down look nakomi's not a bad person honestly but everyone in the kinoshita family is
19:48a bit on the weird side you know like kazu and his pathetic obsession with you it's kind of adorable
19:55the boy actually thinks he has a shot that must be why he keeps dragging the whole ordeal out even
20:01though he knows he's breaking the terms of service it doesn't take an expert to know you two are in
20:07different leagues come on you're gorgeous you're an actress could he be any more delusional
20:14he's not alone of course i'm sure you're used to his type by now
20:19he sees what he wants to see and why wouldn't he living the cozy life he has he thinks if
20:24he tries
20:25hard enough all his dreams will come true you could make it sound nice and say that he's a dreamer
20:31but me i'd say he's a fool shoot we're making granny not only wait let's go
20:45is something wrong all the stuff you said you take it back what i'm sorry i don't think i heard
20:55you
20:55right what was that i know this may not be what you want to hear but this whole thing you're
21:04doing
21:04it the wrong way you said his family is weird but you're talking to his grandmother behind his back
21:09you don't think that's weird obviously i know i should have dealt with this on my own by now
21:14and yes i know we shouldn't have let the lies snowball into something bigger but kazuya is his own person
21:20he
21:20should be able to decide when he wants to lie or when he wants to come clean i find it
21:27hard to
21:27believe that he's not looking for an opportunity to do just that in fact i've seen him try a few
21:33times already i know he's tried time and again to tell the truth you're right that doesn't excuse
21:39the fact that it's been dragging on forever believe me i feel truly sorry for putting you on the spot
21:45like this and i'll apologize as many times as it takes but still that said because we're right here
21:54you have a fire to help keep you comfy you can't deny that our fake relationship has made nagami
22:00genuinely happy you see it too don't you answer me
22:07so this is what happens to someone who lies every day of their life it's so clear to me now
22:14i guess we have different values when it comes to how acceptable lying is
22:19can't you see that all you're doing is postponing the pain and ensuring she'll be miserable later
22:24think about your grandma too was lying to her really the kinder choice have you considered
22:30the possibility that your clients may have actual girlfriends waiting for them at home
22:34where does that fit in with your conscience even if a lie appears to make someone happy in the moment
22:40the truth always comes out and sooner or later it's going to hurt somebody you may not get it because
22:45your entire job is built around a facade but lies are wrong just like you
22:54that's enough let's go
23:00no he i can't do this it just doesn't feel right let's talk it out some more i'm sure i
23:07can convince you
23:11that really hurt
23:15i'm so sorry truly but i'm not going up there with you all i can do is ask you not
23:22to tell the
23:22agency or granny nagami like it or not my fate is in your hands i get how selfish this might
23:28seem to
23:29you the whole situation is out of control and i don't expect you to understand but at this point
