During that time, we were still immature,

searching for what we were lacking in,

while being hurt and fulfilling our desires.

It was a life everyone was envious of.

Everything was perfect.

Life should be in happiness,

but...

deep in my heart,

his existence is also present.

[Between Love and Friendship (Ver:Rina)]
[Episode 1]

[Year 2015]
- Rina. How's everything with your businessman boyfriend?

He's not my boyfriend yet.

Well, you can always look for something better.

Look at this from the previous party.

I like him!

This one? He's not for me.

A bunch of sportsmen, they all look so stylish!

I think the businessman is better.

His restaurant is exclusive for members and looks grand.

I'm looking forward to those from the foreign banks today.

Me, too.

It's almost time. Shall we go?

It's good to be a little late.

You don't want to look desperate.

Both of you seem so nonchalent.

It's our peak when we are university students.

That's why we should grab the opportunity.

Right, Rina?

Of course.

- Did you do your nails?
- Yes.

It looks so pretty.

I saw it on Instagram. The shop is in Omotesando.

I want to go, too.

Will we get a discount if you recommend us there?

Welcome.

- I'm looking forward.
- Have you been here before?

- It's my first time.
- Really?

I'm really excited!

I wonder what we are eating.

- Will there be meat?
- I heard that wine is famous here.

- Really?
- That's great!

- Do you think there will be wine?
- I definitely want to drink.

That's right.

- I want to drink champagne.
- Me, too!

Champagne, right?

- I'm feeling hungry.
- What do you think of him?

He has great sense in choosing suits.

Then, that's totally your style.

Stop teasing me.

But I will try my best.

- Let's do our best today.
- No problem.

Let's go.

Sorry to trouble you.

Although it is often said that important things are intangible,

I tend to disagree.

I think tangible things have their values,

thus appeal to people visually.

Let me introduce them. This is Aoyama, but I call him Ao-chan.

Nice to meet you. I'm Aoyama.

- She's very pretty.
- Isn't she?

I brought two stunning ladies with me today.

You see?

It was fun tonight.

And the food was delicious.

Are you going home now?

Yes, I have to get up early tomorrow.

I see. That's unfortunate.

Here. Use it to take a taxi home.

Let's go out next time, just the two of us.

- Thank you.
Then it's a promise.

Choosing a wide spot, but just touching on the edges.

Just like how a bee gets it honey.

I only want to focus on the things I enjoy.

[Thank you for coming. Seems that nobody caught your eyes. Sorry!!]

[Miyu went back with Ao-chan. Laughs.]

[LOL]

There is a man whom I contact at the end of a day.

[Ren Ichijo]

What's up?

I say. What are you doing now?

I was writing the job application form.

So, did you just finish having fun for the night?

The deadline for Isojima Properties is tomorrow. You know it, right?

When I hear this voice,

my whole body feels sort of relaxed.

Then, can I go to your house now?

What? Now?

Because...

if I were to go home, I would just fall asleep.

You can watch over me while I write.

Can't I go over?

Okay. Just come.

By coincidence, Ren and I sat beside each other at the welcome party of the golf club.

Ren is a caring person, thus he has many friends in university.

He's the popular type of person you find in class.

On the other hand, I'm attracted to the spectacular nightlife of Tokyo.

And I'm enjoying every part of it everyday.

If it wasn't by chance,

we would not have become such close friends.

However, there are times when I think of this.

The relationship between us...

What is it, exactly?

Why are you panting?

No, I'm not.

You smell.

Huh?

It's funny that you're wearing this attire after having fun all night and then writing your application form.

Then, lend me some clothes to change into.

Huh?

Here you go.

Thank you. Don't try to peep.

Of course, I won't.

He didn't even take a peek.

I wonder if this is fine.

I think it looks okay.

Really?

Wonderful! I can finally submit.

It's really great.

Ren, how's your relationship with Yui?

Yui?

We broke up before I started on the job-hunting.

Why?

Well, we were both busy and didn't have time.

You'd better start a relationship instead of playing around all day.

What do you mean?

Oh my.

Suddenly, I feel tired.

I'm not interested in my peers who are childish.

However...

Ren is the only one whom I can show my true self.

I'm thirsty. Do you want a drink? But I don't really have a lot to offer.

Even in this circumstance, he doesn't think of touching me.

- I say.
- Hmm?

Let's work hard for our job-hunting.

Yes, let's do it.

Orange juice? Don't you have wine?

If I had known about my own feelings then,

our relationship would have changed.

Do you want this?

All this while, I feel regretful about this matter.

[Year 2017]

After that, maybe it was a prank in our lives,

but we ended up working in the company.

Yes, I understand.

I hope to receive your reply next week.

I was different from before.

I became a serious working class.

I think that wasn't too bad.

Please excuse me.

Aizawa, can I have a moment?

Yes.

For the meeting with Uwajima Chemicals, I would also like you to come along.

It's my pleasure.

Thank you for allowing me to be in charge.

Well, it's not really putting you in charge...

But we have to go for a dinner meeting after that.

I think the client will be happy to have you aroud.

Are you okay with that?

Yes, no problem.

It will be great.

Aizawa seems to be full of herself lately.

Yes, she sure knows how to handle men well.

I entered the company at the same time with her, but we couldn't get along.

She's the type that plays around with men, right?

I wonder how she entered the company.

She must have pleased those old men.

That's possible.

It must be.

How's your work recently?

The salary does not compensate the amount of work that I have.

What are you talking about when you are working in a top tier company?

How about Ren? How is he?

I don't know.

Aren't you in the same company?

He's different from me, because he's climbing up the ladder fast.

I thought both of you would be drinking together after work.

Nothing of that sort at all.

He's busy with work and going for matchmaking parties.

With this communication abilities,

Ren is both busy at work and personal time.

We used to contact and encourage each other everyday,

but that's all in the past.

Hey, look at those people.

They've been looking at us since a while ago.

I feel that the nightlife is calling me again.

Rina, how are you recently?

As usual.

What's with that cold attitude of yours?

I see that you are enjoying yourself.

Well, that's life.

That reminds me. You ought to come to our peer gatherings.

We entered the company at the same time, but we couldn't get along well.

You know that I'm not good with such stuff.

What do you mean by "not good"?

There's no excuse when you are a working class.

He wouldn't have say that in the past.

She really looks different.

She doesn't come to our club activities, but just spend her time with all the night activities.

I heard that old men have been providing for her.

She's just looking for sugar daddies.

- Makes me cringe to think of it.
- Indeed.

Good evening.

Yo!

Ichijo.

Aizawa, aren't you coming for our club activities anymore?

Do you feel uncomfortable to come?

Well, I know there are different types of people around.

I'll try to help in anything if I can.

Therefore, please come join us.

He's always the first person to care about me.

You should grow up.

Let's work hard together.

But I feel now that he's somewhere far away.

You don't have to force yourself to work in a trading company.

But I've done so much to enter the company.

And I want to work overseas in the future.

Rather than that,

isn't it better to do what you like at home?

Bear me a child.

He's seven years older and a former employee in a trading company.

Now he's taken over his family business and working at the steel company.

He will soon be the company director.

Hey, Rina.

[Reika Takeda]

I don't really like children.

It's good to keep a proper distance from this kind of man.

I'm serious.

Naoya.

If men are all the same,

It's better to choose a man who can save me from the difficult times.

That's not an excuse when you are a working class.

Don't you trust me?

Then I guess I just have to make you believe in me.

What?

I happened to be nearby, so I came to pick you up.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Thank you.

- Are you seated properly?
- Yes.

For you.

Thank you.

What is this?

It's the card key for this house.

You can come here anytime.

"Bear me a child."

I thought this was just cheap words a man say to a woman when he wants to sleep with her.

However...

When I come back here,

I would be happy if you are here.

[Yuka Yoshimura]

I don't see any women by his side anymore.

What's wrong?

- Nothing.
- That's good.

Rina, I love you.

If being pampered brings a woman happiness,

right now...

I am a happy woman.

Are you going on a trip with your boyfriend?

It must be some rich and old man again.

I know what Ren is trying to say.

My break is over. I'm going back to work.

Wait. Why the rush?

Why are you so cold lately?

I know you are busy with your private life, but it's important to maintain communication in the office, too.

Things are no longer the same.

We can no longer be like what we were.

I'm leaving.

I want to ask you a question.

Rina.

Do you like him enough to marry him?

If I were to turn my head now,

I won't be able to pretend that nothing's wrong.

Here you go.

- Thank you. It's warm.
- That's good.

I say, Rina.

Make me some Kanazawa food next time.

Then, shall I make you some wild boar soup?

Wild boar soup?

Actually, it's just miso soup with many ingredients such as carrots and radish, but you add wild boar meat instead of pork.

The usual miso soup uses potatoes, but the one we have in Kanazawa uses sweet potatoes.

- Why? What's with that look?
- Nothing.

It just feels refreshing to hear you talk about miso soup.

Then, I shall not say anymore.

Why? It's nice to hear you talking about it.

My family is different from yours.

We ddid't go to luxurious restaurants when we were young.

Well, I can't deny that.

Really? Did you really go to such restaurants with your family?

Hey, Rina.

Would you be able to give me an answer soon?

What?

I want you to be my wife.

Well...

You can continue your work after we get married.

I will give you the freedom you want.

I'm happy to hear that.

Does that mean a yes?

Rina.

Do you like him enough to marry him?

That is not important.

Thank you.

"You did it."

"It's good to be able to rise to a higher class."

I could hear the words in my mind.

However, isn't that a good thing?

To marry a person because of love,

it also doesn't guarantee happiness.

I just need to make decision for what's necessary in my life.

Wow! This is wonderful.

How many carats is this?

This is really good.

Finally, you have made a decision.

He's really serious about us.

But it's a good thing. You don't have to worry about your life if you are with Nikaido.

I'm so envious that you're marrying into a wealthy family.

Thank you.

So, have you told Ren about this?

Why not? I thought you both are close.

We don't really talk about our private affairs.

But won't he be sad?

Why should he be sad?

- Really?
- Of course.

- You should answer the call.
- Excuse me.

[Naoya Nikaido]

Hello. Yes.

I'm with Miyu now at the usual place.

You want to come fetch me? You don't need to.

Have you reached home?

Good day to you.

- Excuse me.
- What's up?

Actually, I've decided to get married.

Really? Congratulations!

Aizawa, are you getting married?

Yes.

Really? Aizawa is going to married!

- Congratulations.
- Really?

Congratulations!

Thank you very much.

Hey, Ren.

I'm going to belong to some other man soon.

What do you think of it?

[Next Episode]
Rina is the person whom I love the most.

We are the ideal husband and wife.

[I am quitting my job due to personal reasons.]

Aizawa, thank you for everything!

Aizawa is really great.

You should enjoy your life in a wealthy family.

Of course, I will.

He's going to be transferred to Singapore, so he must be busy with the preparations.

Ren?

Oh, long time no see.

Sorry to interrrupting.

So, they are getting married.

An employee like him in a trading company can only have a good life when he's posted overseas.

Nikaido might be having an affair.

Don't give me such a lousy lie!

[Between Love and Friendship (Ver:Ren)]

During that time, we were still immature,

searching for what we were lacking in,

while being hurt and fulfilling our desires.

It was a life everyone was envious of. Everything was perfect.

Life should be in happiness,

but...

therefore, I did not realise...

that irreplaceable thing has always been by my side.
