Wow - what a great house.
You're my hero.
Oh now...you're embarrassing me.
Sakurako, I'm home!
Our tenant's back.
Tenant?
Oh...
Sakurako's Secret
Why...? Why is he here?
Tsukushi...?
Oh, Thomas, do you know Tsukushi?
Tsukushi, have you met him?
Know him...? Of course not.
We met at the club last night. After that...
Tsukushi...
Sakurako, could you make me some tea too?
Sure. I'll be right back.
Tsukushi...I'm happy to see you again.
I'm not!
I'm sorry for leaving you alone at the hotel this morning.
Ah...um...
You were so wild and wonderful last night.
I couldn't believe it was your first time.
So I really did it...
With this foreigner...?
Please! Forget about it all!
Forget it?
Please. I'm begging you not to tell anyone.
How could I forget?
After what we did together...
Please! I'll do anything. Just don't tell anyone.
Anything...?
Yes. Anything.
Really?
Yes. Really.
Will you see me again?
Yes. I will.
Then I won't tell a soul.
I think I've fallen into a trap.
Remember - you promised.
Here's your tea, Thomas.
Sorry, Sakurako. I'll skip tea after all.
W-what'll I do...?
Tsukushi...you don't look well.
Are you all right?
I'm fine!
Tsukushi...
Yes?
Please...please cure me of my boy phobia.
I'm terrified of boys.
The only boy I can talk to is my childhood friend Thomas.
At this rate, I might never find a husband.
You're the only person I can confide in.
All my classmates can't be trusted.
Please...
But...
To me, you're my hero.
With you, I think I can be strong.
Sakurako...
Please!
Oh well...what can I do?
I'll do what I can.
Really? There's a pretty girl like this at our school?
Tsukushi!
Was that a scream?
What a reaction. It's getting me hot!
Back off, Sojiro. Down boy.
What a waste that someone that cute hates boys.
I don't h-hate boys. I-I'm afraid of them.
So why did such a pretty thing become so scared of boys?
I'm not p-pretty. I'm ugly and fat...
If you're ugly, what does that make Tsukushi?
Isn't that right, Tsukasa?
Tsukushi's...cute.
What...?
What is he saying...!
Are you serious?
Anyone who's not your sister is a cat or a dog.
Shut up, you moron!
What do ya mean, a cat or dog? Take it back!
Here we go again...!
That's a surprise!
Tsukasa likes you, doesn't he?
Of course not.
Sakurako...
I'm jealous. You two are made for each other.
Am I seeing things? Her eyes looked so cold for a second there...
Hang on, Tsuke.
Who's that girl getting cozy with the F4?
You mean Sakurako?
We saw her in Roppongi the other night.
She was all tarted up, too.
Yeah. And she acts so innocent in school.
Sakurako...? You must be confused.
No, it was her all right.
She's probably using you to get to the F4.
Like you're trying to?
Be careful.
You never know what's hiding behind that pretty face.
She's not like that!
Wait a minute!
Tsukey!
I've had it!
They're freaking out just because she's hanging with the F4.
But...
She's changed a bit since elementary school.
You knew Sakurako, Makiko?
I've only got vague memories, but...
I think she was more energetic as a child.
Energetic... Sakurako...?
We saw her in Roppongi the other night.
She was all tarted up, too.
Tsukushi...!
What's wrong, Sakurako?
Sojiro said something horrible.
Horrible?
I just said it was rare for a 16-year-old
to have no experience with boys.
How could I...?
"Experience with boys"... like my experience last night...!
She's so naive. Pretty rare nowadays.
Tsukushi...!
She's so cute.
I can't believe she'd turn into a slut.
Tsukushi! We're heading out. Want to come?
Sakurako's coming too, right?
Of course. I can't let her go alone.
I forgot, Tsukushi.
I was asked to give this to you.
From T-Thomas...?
What's up? Let's go.
I-I...I just remembered I have to do something.
Go on without me.
I'm sorry, Sakurako.
I'll be waiting at Galbo, in front of the station.
That foreigner, Thomas...
In some ways, he's more dangerous than Tsukasa.
It happened once...
What if he tries to seduce me again?
What should I do? Maybe I shouldn't go...
But I promised to see him again...
But it might be dangerous seeing him again...
But I've got to see him to keep him quiet.
I've got to calm down.
I'm so nervous!
It's no use...
Tsukushi...?
What are you doing here?
Tsukushi - you're late.
You're right. He is a foreigner.
I brought a friend.
Wow! He really has blue eyes! I've never seen them up close.
Should I say something to him?
Uh..."how do you do?"
Kazuya, he's German.
Oh? What's the German language?
Uh..."What language is German"?
Ack...was this a bad idea?
Rui Hanazawa...!
He does look a little like him.
My heart still aches. Does that mean I really loved him?
Thanks.
Eep!
Tsukushi...this guy's something else!
Whoa! That's some belch!
His image is...!
What is it?
I should say something.
Why do you speak Japanese so well?
It's because I'm bi-racial.
My father's Japanese and my mother's German.
Sakurako and I went to the same Japanese school in Germany.
Oh, um...you're half-Japanese...?
Ack - He just farted, Tsukushi!
He farted!
Well, it's not healthy to hold it in.
What's this guy's deal?
I can't believe he's friends with polite Sakurako.
Thomas, are you a student? Or do you work?
Work...?
Why work when Sakurako gives me money...
She does?
No. I mean her family takes care of me.
Is that the time, already? I've got to go.
See you later, Tsukushi.
Next time, leave the kid behind.
What kid?
Are you talking about me?
Something's weird.
I can't see the connection between Thomas and Sakurako.
To think that I...with that slob...!
No no no! I want to die!
Leave it to those two veteran playboys...
Tsukushi!
Great! You look pretty comfortable talking with them.
It's true.
The F4 are all so much fun!
I'm afraid of bees!
Help me, Tsukasa!
I hate bugs!
Hey, back up! It's just a bug. Quit screaming!
Thank you.
Idiot! What am I getting jealous for?
What's the matter, Tsukushi?
You appear out of nowhere, and sit there with a puss on.
So much has happened lately...
What you need is a night of clubbing!
Come on! Get ready! Get ready!
This place is jumping tonight!
This is too much!
I can't take it. This is overwhelming.
What's the ruckus?
This really popular model-quality girl's made her entrance.
The one everyone's buzzing about?
Where is she?
Over there. She's dancing in the middle.
Sakurako!?
I can't believe it! I can't believe it!
Here you go.
What's your name?
You're cute.
Hey, you there.
We need to talk.
You got your claws into DJ Hatta, right?
He was Miho's boyfriend.
Do you think you can just get away with it?
Say something! Come on...
S-stop...
What fat legs.
And all that make-up just to look passable.
I'm shocked you're not embarrassed to be seen like this.
So what if I stole your boyfriend?
It's your fault for being so ugly!
How dare you! What do you mean, ugly!?
Ugly, ugly, ugly bitch!
Don't be bitter because you can't hold onto a guy...
without heavy makeup and cheap outfits.
If he meant that much to you, why didn't you keep him leashed?
Guys like him are just strays on the roadside to me.
If you think you can compete with me, with your looks...
You're delusional.
Miho...
Is that really sweet, polite Sakurako?
Everyone knows about what happened with Thomas.
Our photo was posted on the bulletin board.
I'll never forgive you, Thomas! How could you?
What's wrong Tsukushi?
And Sakurako turns, smiling coldly at me.
