(He came home later than expected.)
Manager: Came..... back?
(It's dark inside.)
(There is nobody here and it's too quiet.)
Manager: Touya? Is there anybody?
You told me to come early...
Touya: Right here!
(Touya in the veranda pulled out his head and answered.)
(There is a heart-shaped candle ring in the veranda.)
Touya: Sit over here!
Manager: Why a party all of a sudden?
Touya: It's a celebration, just because.
I think, I am who I am all because of you.
Manager: Because of me?
Touya: I ran away from home without knowing where to go, then I met you. You accepted me without questions.
It would have been impossible if it were other agencies.
Manager: ...........are you trying to say that this place is second tier?
Touya: NO! That's not what I'm saying!!!
It was all possible because I met you.
We've been through many things together till now.
Manager: Being boyfriend and girlfriend meeting because of debt... of course, there have been many events other than the debt.
Touya: That's why I like this place.
We sure went through many things together even though the time we spent together is not that long.
(I feel the same.)
Touya: Meeting many different kinds of people, going through many different kinds of things...
All those things were meaningful to me because you were next to me.
Manager: ......
Touya: I want to be with you forever.
As more than just a friend.
Manager: Is this what I think it is?
Touya: Yes, I think so.
Manager. I like you.
And I love you.
Manager: Oh......
*POP~!! POP~!!!*
*SWISH POP!!*
(Fireworks went off in the sky as Touya confessed.)
Manager: Oh..? What is this? Fireworks?
Touya: Perfect timing!
I set it up at the veranda, and it worked!
Manager: Pretty......
(I watched the fireworks with Touya.)
(Without even being aware of our surroundings we shared a warm moment watching the fireworks, hand in hand.)
(Oh...... come to think of it...)
Manager: Touya
Touya: Yes?
(When Touya turned around, I just clung to him and stood tiptoed to kiss him.)
*POP~!! POP~!!*
(We clung for long while as the fireworks continued to go off.)
(After we came apaer, I told blank-faced Touya with a smile.)
Manager: This is. My answer.
Manager: Touya!! Does this need washing?
Touya: Just leave it there.
I'm gonna hand wash them later.
Breakfast is ready!
(Several days after hearing Touya's confession.)
(Something changed between us...)
(Well, actually because we were in a delicate situation, it seemed nothing changed that much.)
Manager: Hmm... really.
(If something did changer, maybe it's that we go to places without hesitation?)
*Ding dong, ding dong~*
Touya: Who could that be?
Who is it?
Asano Ryosuke: It's me.
Touya: No...
Who invited you? Go away! I ain't gonna open the door.
Asano Ryosuke: Dad and grandpa are here too. Open the door.
Touya: What?
(There came Touya's older brother, a sharp looking middle-aged man, and an old gentleman.)
Touya: Dad... Grandpa...
Touya's Father: I heard everything from Ryosuke.
You lived here after leaving home?
Touya: Er...that's....
Touya's Father: Hmm...
Let's go back.
Touya: Huh?
Touya's Father: Come out, there is a car waiting for you.
I don't want you to stay in a place like this anymore.
Let's go home.
Touya: No, I'm not leaving!!!
Touya's Father: Touya!!!
Touya: I know everything.
Why do I have to go back there?
That's not my home! It's not!
Touya's Father: Touya? What's that...
Touya: ......Touya. What is this...
(The mood suddenly got depressing.)
If I become a star one day, I can find my real family.
Touya's Father: ......Touya. What is this...
(The mood suddenly got depressing.)
Touya's Grandfather: ..................
Ryosuke...you!!!
Asano Ryosuke: You... you...
Touya's Grandfather: You... you...
You bastard!!!!
*POW! POW! POW POW POW!!*
(The old gentleman turned into a monster and started to beat up Touya's brother.)
(What's more surprising was that Touya's brother who was so charismatic was just cringing while being beaten up.)
(The old gentleman turned into a monster and started to beat up Touya's brother.)
(What's more surprising was that Touya's brother who was so charismatic was just cringing while being beaten up.)
(......that's why a family is amazing.)
Touya's Grandfather: You, bastard!!
I told you to end teasing Touya once he grows up but you're still like this!!!
*POW POW POW POW!!!*
Asano Ryosuke: ......sorry to be like this, while we are meeting for the first time.
I'm sorry but couldn't help it. He is so gullible that he always fell for my joke.
Look at him how cute he is!!
Touya: ....what?
Touya's Father: ...... Sorry to be like this, while we are meeting for the first time.
Manager: No, well... I'm fine...
Touya's Father: Ryosuke liked teasing Touya since he was little... It's nothing else but Ryosuke's way of showing affection.
Please do not believe that he is an orphan. Touya is my son for sure...
It's embarrassing to talk about this.
Touya: I'm really your son?! You are lying! I am not gonna fall for this again.
Seriously, I don't look like anyone in the family.
I look different and I'm the only one who is not smart.
Touya's Father: Touya...
Touya: Pretty sure, I'm adopted.
I am not gonna fall for it this time, NEVER!!
Touya's Father: Oh ho. Talking like this, it seems you thought a lot.
Ryosuke! You come home for a while and think about what you did.
This is not something to lie about. How come...
Asano Ryosuke: ...I'm sorry.
(Touya's brother cannot budge in front the elders in his family.
Touya's Father: Touya. You're my son.
Touya: You are lying!
You are lying!
Touya's Father: ......you leave me no choice.
Dad, do you have his picture?
Touya's Grandfather: If it's the one taken with your mom, I always carry it in my wallet.
Do you want me to take it out?
Touya's Father: Here, Touya. Look at this picture.
Touya: I'm not interest in an old picture of grandpa...
Ah...
(This picture...... nobody can deny this looks just like Touya!!)
(If Touya grows like this, it will be him in his mid 20's.)
Touya: Is this really you, grandpa?
You in this picture look like me...
Touya's Father: I, my brother and sister take after mother... but you look like my father so he especially liked you.
Touya: This means...
I'm not an orphan???
You are my real family?
(Touya asked with a crying voice.)
Touya: What's this!!!
(And he suddenly got angry.)
Touya: After all, my worries, anger and sorrow were for nothing?!
All that agony, pain, and torment for nothing?
And it's all because of YOU!!! Ryosuke!!! HATE YOU!!!
(...Touya's thundering yelling spread throughout the office.)
(And he ran into his room.)
Touya's Father: ...well, well. He's just too upset.
But... I've heard that you are dating out Touya?
Manager: Oh! That's, that's...
Touya's Father: I'm not going to say anything. It's all that Ryosuke's doing.
Young Touya probably thought about it a lot.
Manager: .....
(I can't deny that Touya has been thinking a lot.)
Touya's Father: I want to ask you to take care of Touya for a while.
It's not gonna solve anything if we just take him. It might be a good idea for him to do the thing he loves.
And TV suits Touya well too.
Manager: Oh...? Then Touya can continue to be in the business......?!
Touya's Father: Well, we'll go back for the day.
But still we'll come back frequently since my son is here. So hope you don't treat us coldly.
(And they left right away.)
(Of course, Touya's brother was.. dragged out.)
(Well, then..... Should not need to comfort Touya.)
*Knock knock*
(There is no answer to the knock.)
(I went in without permission.)
Manager: What is this? Touya, are you still mad?
But still you know they're your real family... so don't you like it?
Touya: Don't know. I am just sad that I went overboard.
(I held Touya from the back.)
Touya: Oh uh...!!
Manager: But I still like it.
Touya: ......excuse me?
Manager: Touya is not alone... but he has a family.
Didn't they seem to like Touya?
Congratulations on finding your family.
