Why don't you forget Tsukasa...
and go out with me?
Huh?
Am I less desirable than Tsukasa?
Who is this person?
Shut up...
I'm not interested in other people...
...women are troublesome...
Is this really Rui Hanazawa?
This pick-up artist is really the same Rui Hanazawa I know?
Hey, it's a joke! I'm kidding.
You're so serious.
You're really funny sometimes.
A-a joke?!
Be Still My Beating Heart
After all, Tsukasa is my friend.
It'd be a bad scene all around.
Or are you disappointed?
How about this, then...
We'll just see each other on the sly.
That's a joke too, right? How funny!
Well, I've got class now, so...
Tsukushi.
You've gotten a lot cuter.
Thanks.
Oh, my.
Hold on...was this for real? What's going on?
Why is he so casual now?
He's become just like Sojiro and Akira.
You've gotten a lot cuter.
My heart's thumping.
What's wrong with me?
Tsukushi.
Gaah!
What's wrong, Tsukushi?
Did I scare you? I'm sorry.
Wh-what do you want?
Wh-what's up with her?
Tsukushi, thanks for what you did the other day.
I hadn't thanked you yet.
I really appreciated it...a lot.
You backed me up, even though I did such a terrible thing to you...
I just couldn't believe it.
You may think it's a little late for this...
but it's true that I looked up to you.
You and your never-say-die attitude...
...though I was jealous.
But I'm not giving up on Tsukasa.
Huh?
I may have been ugly in the past...
...but look how cute I am now.
I've got style to spare...
and guys like the way I fill out my C-cup.
No matter how I look at it...
...it's hard to believe that he'd choose you over me.
Anyway, that's all I had to say.
Let's go nightclubbing together sometime, okay?
Tsukushi.
Yeah?
You were just with Rui, weren't you?
Huh?
Because you were blushing just a little while ago.
Wh--.
What a witch.
Get in.
What's going on?
We're going to my family's villa.
Vi-villa? I wasn't planning on going anywhere!
It's an awesome place. Blue skies, miles of ocean.
Hey! Earth to Tsukasa! This is the first I've heard of it!
He's calling all the shots.
He was always pushy, but he's getting worse.
I have to do something about it.
I'm not going.
My parents will get mad at me...
...so take me home.
I made a call to your house already.
I talked to your father...
and he was dancing with joy at the other end of the line.
Huh?
Sheesh...they're really looking out for me...
Is everyone aboard?
Yes, master. Your guests are all here.
An airplane?
Hey, what are you doing? Get in.
Get in?
Can't you tell? It's my family's private jet.
What?!
I never rode in a plane before.
We're going to crash!
We're all going to die!
Y-y-you're choking me.
L-look outside.
Oh! How pretty! It's beautiful!
Hey, wow! We're flying above the clouds!
Shut up. What's up with that girl...
...yelling and screaming.
Wow! I can't believe I'm riding in an airplane.
And where are we headed?
To an island that my family owns.
An island?! Your family owns an island?
Yeah.
Th-this is unbelievable.
He's not your ordinary rich kid.
His family is really loaded.
Tsukushi. Let me introduce you. Come here.
These two are from Yamanote All-Girls School.
I'm Hiroko.
I'm Noriko. Nice to meet you.
S-same here.
Gee. They're your textbook young ladies.
And this is my girlfriend.
Charmed.
H-hi. Pleased to meet you.
Akira.
I'm thirsty.
Okay, okay.
So this is the rumored married woman playboy in action.
How perverse.
The light brown haired one...
...is here, too.
It's been a year since we last came.
Let's put our luggage in the rooms.
Oh...please don't let our eyes meet.
Tsukushi. Let me take you to your room.
Oh...okay.
Woah!
Do you like it?
It's the room with the best view.
Yeah! It's beautiful!
What a lovely ocean.
This will be...
our room.
Cheers!
Mm, Delicious!
Everything tastes great when the air is this clean.
Tsukasa, your family is so impressive.
They own such a lovely island.
Amen to that.
At our school, a lot of our fathers are presidents of companies...
...but no one owns an island.
Tsukasa, your family has ten other places worldwide, right?
We only have two... one in Karuizawa and one in L.A.
Where were yours, Sojiro?
Hawaii and Hokkaido... and one in Monaco.
My father likes to act big...
...although he's the head of a tea ceremony school.
What about you, Rui?
My family owns in Australia and Tahiti...
...and Okinawa in Japan.
Wow! Awesome!
You F4 boys are really...
...such a wealthy group of young masters.
I'm so embarrassed.
In our families, our fathers are presidents of companies...
...but we only own one villa each in Karuizawa.
What about you, Tsukushi?
Where is your family's villa?
I guess...my grandma's house in the country would be our villa.
Huh?
Grandma?
It doesn't make sense to own one if you don't use it.
We don't even take care of our villas in the off season.
Hey, the steaks are ready. Eat.
Oh! It looks so delicious! Thank you.
What kind of sauce is this?
It's a red wine fond de veau.
Tsukushi...
This is yours... P-please eat.
This will be...our room.
I wonder if...
If he's thinking that we're going to...
There was only the one king-sized bed.
I still feel his warmth...
...pressing against my back.
But first things first.
I haven't told him how I feel yet.
It's hard to imagine myself with Tsukasa...
...my arch enemy when I first came to the school.
Not yet...
It's still inconceivable.
How nice! I'm so jealous of you, Tsukushi.
Huh?
Aren't you going to sleep with Tsukasa tonight?
Wh-where did that come from? We're not at that point yet.
I'm a little scared.
Don't worry! I'm sure...
You're right. Both Rui and Sojiro seem experienced anyway.
Huh? D-did you say Rui?
Yes. I'm sharing a room with him.
Oh! It all seems like a dream!
My heart's pounding.
Of all the boys in the F4, I liked Rui the best!
Did I miss a memo?
Why isn't he with Shizuka?
This is so stupid of me.
I thought I put an end to it...
...when Rui Hanazawa went to France to chase after Shizuka.
Oh, Rui!
I can't. I can't look at him straight anymore.
Tsukushi...what's wrong?
Tsukushi!
I...I'm going back to the room.
I'm a little tired.
It's like there's a little bird in my heart fluttering around.
Why am I feeling like this now?
Do you feel sick?
Oh, ah...I'm fine. I'm just a little tired.
Why don't you lie down on the bed?
What? The bed?
H-hold on. I'm not ready to...
I'll sleep on that sofa bed.
Sofa bed?
Let me tell you something. Don't get me wrong.
I told you how I feel about you.
But you haven't told me how you feel about me.
I don't want to sleep with a girl who doesn't love me.
Tsukasa...
Well, I am a guy.
And if I told you that I didn't want to, it'd be a lie.
Tsukushi...hurry up and decide.
I'm getting tired of waiting.
I wish...
...that I could feel...
...the same way, too...
But...the little bird in my heart...
Is rustling around...
Wh-what are you doing there?
Nothing. What about you?
Where's Tsukasa?
H-he went to bed.
Tell me...are you planning to stay here all night long?
Yeah.
Do you feel sick?
You must've gotten a cold from sitting here all this time.
Wh-what are you doing?
Ten minutes...
no, just five will do...
...hold me.
What?
I'm fine during the day, but I can't handle the nights.
I'm so cold I can't stand it.
But - why don't you hook up with that girl?
I can't. I don't know a thing about her.
I lied to Tsukasa...
I couldn't leave Rui Hanazawa hurting and alone.
But I felt guilty, as if I had done something wrong...
...and I lied to Tsukasa.
Rui Hanazawa is the only thing that's on my mind.
