"We will announce the couples who can have a sleepover date."
THE FIRST PAIR
Kazuto and…
I hope I can go on a date with you.
But with Kazuto, I felt a spark.
Next time, I'll pick you.
I want a date with you.
All right!
Oh, my gosh. I'm happy!
Oh!
It's me, Alan.
-Oh! -I knew it!
-As I thought. -He's the first who shared his feelings.
-It makes sense he chose him. -Alan!
I'm stoked! Oh, come on!

"That's all."
-It actually says "That's all." -Huh?
-Wow. Gosh, really? -Is that all? What? No way! Really?
-So I guess, then… -The plot thickens.
…Shun must've decided he was a no.
What?
Okay.
All right.
Let's go.
-Let me carry your bag. -I'm fine.
-This one. -Thanks.

I'm not sure I understand him anymore.
THAT IS ALL.
I wanted to go on a date with him.
Staying together overnight equals the same thing.
-Yeah? -Can we talk?
Okay.
-Where? -Huh?
-Where? -The dining room.
Okay.
What happened?
-Huh? -Today.
What?
-Why I didn't choose you? -Yeah.
After thinking about it for a while,
I decided not to choose you.
I want to know what happened.
This is something I've wrestled with from the beginning.
You're not a low-key guy.
Seeing how you react with so much energy,
I feel like we're very different.
-Mmm. -Even when we went on our date.
Mmm.
Adorable!
He ate too much!
They're so sweet!
Yummy.
Isn't it?
Like it?
So cute!
I can be having fun with you,
but then I start to notice differences in our vibes.
I'm enjoying myself, but these differences also make me feel sad.
-Mmm, mmm. -My feelings go like this.
-Ah… -And… it makes me exhausted.
I want to date someone whose energy is more aligned with mine,
and I don't even need to say anything.
I just think that you're…
not compatible with me.
I think just being friends…
Mmm.
…sounds…
a lot better for me.
Hmm.
Mmm.
You know, last night,
when we hugged each other before we went to bed,
It felt like we were acting the way
people do when they have a special bond with someone.
-It felt like we were more than friends. -Mmm. Mmm.
I was thinking about it in my room today.
Um… if you really think
that you just want to be friends,
if you've already made up your mind,
then of course I'm willing to accept that.
Mmm.
Do you really want to start over and move forward
only as friends, Shun?
Mmm.
Okay. Then…
Mmm.
Okay.
-Thank you for being honest with me. -Mm-hmm.
It's heartbreaking.
I think that it was a very smart move for Dai to take Shun's words to heart,
and back down at that point.
There aren't many people who'd be that graceful, are there?
Yeah, that took courage.
Sometimes, regardless of the reason,
romantic relationships just don't work out.
I'm glad Dai spoke up.
Once it's been made clear, the best thing to do is accept that and move on.
But isn't it harsh when you go to an aquarium
and are told that you have to be quiet?
I can't help but talk. If…
How did he expect Dai to react?
…art museum or something, just saying "Hmm" would be fine.
-That's right. -If we were at an aquarium…
-You want to comment. -Who wouldn't be excited?
-Absolutely. -He's a difficult person.
Do you think Shun could have another emotional shift?
Like, he wants to break up with Dai now,
but then later, he realizes he still loves him.
-That could definitely happen. -I'm sure it'll happen.
-Oh, hey. -Hi
-Were you in your room? -Yeah, I was.
What were you doing?
Um, well… I was drawing.
-Drawing? -Yeah.
How's your day going?
-Today? -Yeah.
-I feel terrible today. -Terrible?
How are you feeling?
Mmm.
Well, I knew he would choose him.
Ah.
But we're frustrated, right?
And what? Did you write Kazuto's name today?
-Yeah. -I see.
Last night, when Alan told Kazuto that he had a crush on him
in front of everyone…
Mm-hmm.
I was like, "Wow."
-"I don't want him to date Kazuto." -Yeah.
-And I realized how I felt. -Uh-huh. Mmm.
But seeing Alan's actions,
it's no wonder he captured Kazuto's heart the most.
Mmm. Mmm.
That's right.
I wonder if it's a twin bed.
Or a double bed.
Hopefully, it's a twin bed.
-I agree. -I hope it's a twin.
I know.
-They're so cute! -Yeah!
They're in the same room, but where they're sleeping really matters.
-It really does. -It opens the door for intimacy.
If you're sleeping in a double bed and your partner is right there…
-Things might happen. -You might go further.
How do you think Alan's going to behave?
Do you think he'll be a gentleman, or what?
-Or will he still be bold? -Yeah.
-I wanna find out. -We'll see.
Zekuu!
Damn, I'm so excited.
Wow!
Oh-ho-ho!
-Gosh! -Isn't this great? I'm shocked.
Oh, wait a minute.
Is there a bathtub?
-It's a hot spring! -What a surprise! Wait.
-Wow. -It's a private open-air bath.
-Damn! -So cool!
-Yeah. -Left or right?
Either one is fine.
Uh-oh! It's almost a double bed, Usak!
I don't like this gap.
Let's put them together.
Let's fix it.
Oh, they're not that heavy!
-Aren't they moving? -Neither bed moves.
-Did it move? -Yeah.
All right.
Now it's a double bed, Usak.
-Oh, no! -Sorry, Usak.
Are you half-Japanese?
My dad is half-Italian and half-Brazilian.
Mmm.
My mother is Japanese-Brazilian, so…
Mmm.
Yeah. But I've been in Japan since I was two.
-Were you born in Brazil? -Yeah, but I don't know much about it.
-I've never been back. -Really?
-Oh, you haven't? -No, never.
-Would you like to go back? -Yeah, for sure.
-Mmm. -I wanna go back before I die.
I haven't seen my dad
since I was six.
I want to see my dad.
My father was taken when I was six.
-He was arrested. -Mmm.
And when they took him away,
he said that I had to take care of my little sister.
He told me he was entrusting her to me.
He said, "From now on,
you'll be the man of the house."
Mmm.
"I'm counting on you. I'm sorry." Then he was gone.
That conversation we had was the only time I ever really connected with him.
-I made a promise to him. -Mmm.
My mom went to work early and didn't come home until late at night.
-I took my sister to daycare -Mmm.
And I picked her up.
And we usually didn't have anything to eat for dinner.
We lived in an apartment complex, so we had a… a lot of neighbors.
So we'd visit different families and have dinner with them.
-Ah. -Me and my sister.
What about your family?
My family?
Like, did you all sit around the table and eat together?
-Until high school. -When you were in your hometown?
At my parents' place.
Eating together with my family at a table like this
has always been something I've longed to do.
Mmm.
I haven't really had that experience.
It was rare for me to have dinner with my family at the table.
So those things are important.
So tell me, today.
-How did you feel when you wrote my name? -Well, I was so nervous.
What was, uh, on your mind?
You are my type.
I like you very much.
-Hmm. -Did you think that I would write Kazuto?
-What? -Actually, I like you very, very much.
I told you that in front of everybody.
I think I usually express my feelings openly,
but this is really the first time I've felt this way.
I've never fallen in love at first sight before.
So right now, my mind is processing things differently,
and my heart is pounding like it never has before.
I wanted to let you know how I'm feeling
before we start our time here.
What's going on with you?
You look like the Buddha statue.
Yeah, I'm reclining like Buddha. This feels comfortable.
Really? Aren't you tired from being in that position?
The coffee truck will open tomorrow, but…
Those two aren't coming home till tomorrow.
Yeah, they'll be back tomorrow.
-Cheers. -Yay!
Cheers.
I'll tell you why…
I wrote your name today.
Alan, I think you're a great person, and you have wonderful energy.
Like when we're eating dinner.
Yeah?
You talk so much that the place never gets quiet.
You're always cheerful and uplifting.
You may have personal things that you struggle with,
but you really try to make the world brighter.
I've seen it, and I'm very attracted to that part of you.
I don't know, my childhood wasn't very happy.
I feel like my sister and I
were just doing our best to survive.
Mmm.
But then I grew up and met people who changed my perspective.
Now I can say, "All of those things had to happen."
If someone asked me if I would choose to relive my childhood all over again,
even if it meant having the same exact experience,
I'd say yes.
Now that I'm able to think that way,
I've become very happy.
I can say that I love myself now. I really do.
I don't know why I'm crying.
I'm sorry, this is awkward.
No, it's not.
Oh, why am I crying?
-Damn. -Thank you for sharing.
Gosh. I can talk to you so easily.
Kazuto is a good listener.
He's a great guy.
So what's your type?
Well, I like faces
that have animal-like features…
-What about me? -Huh?
-I have a face like that, right? -You're so sure of yourself!
I've only had relationships with two guys.
-Mmm. -Both of them were totally different.
Oh.
Do faces matter a lot for you?
I know what someone looks like is important at first, but…
Well, I like someone who's gentle,
and maybe has a bit of muscle on his body.
-I mean… -I don't get it.
Look at your body, then you'll understand.
I don't have a lot of muscle.
Huh? No, you're perfect.
I'm gonna wash.
What? Do you wanna get out?
-I'm really hot. -Oh yeah?
You stay here.
Do you wanna wash each other?
Wash each other?
-Wow! -He went for it!
Aah!
If I get too worked up,
I'll jump back into the bath.
Let's not do that.
-It's risky. -Yeah, it's risky.
I might cross the line.
He hasn't read it yet…
Huh?
I sent a message on LINE to Kazuto, but he hasn't read it.
-Oh, really? -Maybe he's too busy.
Maybe they're just having a really good time.
That's a bummer.
Yeah, but that's just the way it is.
Yeah.
Why are you being so seductive?
-Try it. -Huh?
Try it!
I can't do that like you.
So steamy!
That wasn't steamy at all.
Mmm.
-Let's do a massage. -All right.
-You don't need to wear your T-shirt. -Yes, I need it.
-Why? -It's cold.
-I'll give you a massage. -Yeah.
-You don't need it. -What do you mean?
Please take off your shirt.
-This one? -Yeah.
Are you serious?
Is it okay to do that?
This isn't good.
We're crossing the line.
-My mom is… a masseuse. -Whoa!
-Is that so? -Yeah.
It's so good, but…
I don't wanna give you a good one. I wanna give you the best.
-Oh! -What?
-What's going on there? -Alan is really pampering Kazuto.
-Going for it! -He's expert.
-He was like, "Aww." -Yeah.
He's really making an effort to create intimacy between them.
-He's good at it. -Yeah.
But I think that maybe Kazuto has mixed feelings right now.
From Kazuto's point of view,
I wonder if he might have preferred for things to be moving a bit slower.
Yeah, I agree. But Alan is pushing hard!
Alan has his foot on the accelerator.
It does seem like a lot is happening quickly.
-They'll be coming back today. -From their honeymoon.
The honeymoon?
-I don't like that word. -No.
But after spending the day together, they must've gotten closer.
I wonder if they'll come back smiling.
Mm-hmm.
-Oh! -Mmm?
-Are they holding hands? -I can see them.
-They're not. -Are they? They're not?
-They're in the same clothes. -Matching outfits!
-They are. -True.
-Oh, no. -Coincidence?
Hey, welcome back.
-Welcome back. -Hi.
-We're back, guys. -Welcome back.
-Oh, Hamburg steak. -Good to see you!
-We missed you. -Good?
-Tell us. Did you have fun? -Yeah. Oh, yeah.
-We took a lot of baths. -Mm-hmm.
What do you mean, you took a lot of baths?
-Yeah, what do you mean? -You don't have to tell everything.
-Were you able to sleep well, Alan? -Huh?
-Was it easy? -Sleep well?
-We slept well after the massages, right? -Mmm.
-Sounds cool. -Massage?
You mean a massage therapist at the ryokan?
Oh, no, we just did it to each other.
Ooh!
In a tatami room?
-We enjoyed being naked together. -Tatami room?
-You were naked? -During the massages.
That was a bit crazy.
He does care about the room!
-Did you sleep on the futon? -Or did you sleep together?
We had separate beds, but I connected them.
-As soon as I entered the room. -That was fast.
-I get it. -You put the beds together?
Good for you.
-Alan is divulging everything. Everything! -You're right.
Everything.
But it's because he doesn't know that those two also like Kazuto.
Alan doesn't know anything.
Have you decided that Kazuto is the only guy for you?
I know that I wanna know more about him, I think.
How about you?
I've already made up my mind.
But I have to make one last effort… to connect with him.
You know…
Mmm.
I really have to do something.
I see.
-Hi, Ryota. Sorry, -No problem.
-Did you wait long? -I didn't.
So, you had your overnight date with Alan.
-Mmm. -Mmm.
Have you made up your mind about who you like?
-Do you wanna wash each other? -What?
So steamy!
Whoa!
No, I'm not sure yet.
-Oh. -Mmm.
I kind of got confused even more.
Hmm, I see.
Why is that?
Why?
I'm still not sure why, in my mind.
Mmm.
The intimacy felt a bit intense that night.
He wanted to move faster than I did.
I wasn't… I don't know, at that point yet.
So I had kind of mixed feelings.
It's like I need to calm down a little bit.
-Weren't you calm? -Calm!
-I haven't been calm in the last few days. -Mmm. Mmm.
I don't want to rush, but we have limited time.
-Mmm. -Mmm.
I understand.
Um…
-I'm not like this. -Mmm.
Instead of talking around everyone else,
I'm here…
Yeah.
Just talking with you alone.
-Uh- huh. -It's weird.
-He's saying, "Don't call me out". -Okay, so…
-Things have become too much for him. -Exactly.
-Alan might be too much for him. -Seems like it.
And it seems Ryota is in a hurry to know what's happening.
Do you think there's a possibility
that Kazuto starts to think Usak's pace is the best for him in the end?
Maybe.
It may be easier for Kazuto to say no when he's sure that something isn't a fit.
-As Shun did. -He's too nice.
But I also think Kazuto may be a people-pleaser
and might twist himself in knots before he speaks his mind.
-He must be stressed out. -He seems overwhelmed.
-And Ryota sent him a LINE message. -Right.
-I wonder what he texted him on LINE. -Yeah.
-I don't think he should have. -Yeah, he should've waited.
-He shouldn't have done that. -I understand why he wanted to.
-But still.… -I know he was worried.
Mmm.
And Usak is saying he has to make one last effort.
Usak said he was going to do something.
I wonder what's next.
PLEASE DISCUSS AND DECIDE WHO WILL BE TAKING THE SHIFT TODAY
Hey.
-Hey. -What?
-What's up? -About today's shift for the coffee truck…
Um…
I want to work.
-Hmm? -Sure!
And, well…
with Kazuto.
-Wow! -Is that okay?
Wow!
Oh, now he knows, and he's like, "What?"
Of course, I'd love to.
Let's have fun.
Make some money!
-Have fun. -See you.
-This is sudden. -See you.
-I didn't see this coming. -Ciao, ciao.
Thank you.
Thanks.
-You bring your driver's license? -Yeah, don't worry.
-Do you usually drive? -Only when I'm in my hometown.
Yeah.
This is my first time in the passenger seat.
Yay!
Let's go!
It runs smoothly.
Smoothly.
Oh, look at the sea.
The sea.
Wow, there it is. It's beautiful.
Wow!
-It's gorgeous, isn't it? -Yeah, it is.
Were you mentally prepared for today's coffee truck shift?
No, I wasn't really.
Well, I thought working together today might be
the only opportunity I'd have to talk to you.
Right.
I kept trying to figure out what Usak was thinking.
What do you think will happen?
Something will happen today, for sure.
-I agree. -Yeah, I'm really curious.
-Maybe not a big deal… -Is the rice ready?
There's something definitely goin' on.
Aren't you a little far back?
-Take a picture of me jumping. -Closer… Ah!
Here we go.
If it's successful, it should be a great photo.
-Mmm. -Or why don't we jump together?
Wh… why not?
Here we go!
Great picture.
-It's great. -Yeah.
-Awesome. -They're cute.

-A speaker who speaks like shit! -Oh, no!
I want to make sure I'm making sense.
Hopefully, you'll be able to listen and understand.
Yeah.
It's important to say that I don't want you to think you have to reply to me.
Mmm.
When I joined the Green Room,
the first person who impressed me
was you, Kazuto.
You're a hard worker, and a great chef.
You make delicious meals.
As I've gotten to know you,
I see what a kind person you are.
I think that…
you have…
so many incredible qualities.
So… you guys have been at the Green Room
for a couple of weeks.
And you still have
a couple of weeks to go.
But…
for me…
today is my last day.
What?
I'll be leaving the Green Room.
Seriously?
Yeah.
-What? -What?
No way.
-But why? -Why?
I came here… because I…
wanted to be able to explain what I was thinking about.
Today, it was important for me to be able to spend time with you.
And to bond with you, and…
to tell you my feelings.
I met someone who I was genuinely moved by here,
and I was able to express myself honestly.
Now…
I'm satisfied.
I am. Truly.
Mmm.
That's all
I wanted
to say.
I think it's time for me
to write a message to everyone.
Would you mind
going back to the truck first?
-I'll head back, then? -Yeah. Thank you.
Oh.
What's that sound?
-They're back? Hey! -Oh, they're back.
Kazutoshi's driving.
Welcome back.
-He's so calm. -Thank you for all your work.
Welcome back!
-Welcome back. -We're back.
-We're home. -Welcome back.
Did you have a good day?
-You okay? -Are you tired?
-Wasn't it cold? -It went really fast. It was fun.
You… look serious.
It seems like you're a little tense, Kazuto.
What happened? You seem unsettled.
-What is it? -What happened?
-Huh? -What? What?
-No way. No way! -This is a joke, right?
-What happened? -I can't believe it.
-What are you doing? -Hey, tell us.
-Today, I'm going to… -What?
-…be leaving the Green Room. -What?
Are you serious?
I'm serious.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
-I'm going abroad for work tomorrow. -I see.
From the beginning,
I knew I was only going to stay for a few days.
-This is surprising. -What?
Yeah.
-Hmm. -Oh, I'm gonna miss you.
Hmm.
Today…
Gosh.
I can't talk.
Today I went out in the coffee truck with Kazuto,
and I was able to accomplish my goal
of sharing my feelings.
I can leave here
feeling good about that.
It doesn't matter if you've come here for love or friendship.
I think there are things
you can only say here.
I hope that all of you guys will cherish this opportunity,
share your thoughts,
be honest about your feelings,
and enjoy each other for…
the rest of the time you have here at…
the Green Room.
