I wonder if I have become just a bit more of an adult since then

Ruiku....

I wonder if can face you proudly now

To the music of our love

7 years ago

Ah...sorry! That was a mistake. I start again!

Do it right!

Maki....if you don't practice, you are going to fail.

It does not matter, even though I practiced a lot, I am still not getting anywhere.

You are saying that but you are always goofing around!

I told you that I am not goofing around.

Well, if you insist...

I suppose you are learning a lot!

What are you thinking about?

I was just thinking...

that Sakizawa is by himself a lot, maybe we should aks him out or something.

Since we enrolled into the school, he has not spoken to anyone, so...

Well...is not it fine like this? Don't worry.

Next class is boring...

What is it?

You know, somehow the teacher of our class is really nice to me.

It is because you are cute, so he is going for you.

Watch out for him.

No,

I don't think that's it.

Yeah!

Passed this this again!

Let's go parfait!

I have been wanting parfait since forever!

I will have a mango parfait!

Yeah..and with whipped cream, right?

What's up?

Ah...I forgot something.

Just go ahead an go home.

What?

Then we will wait when we get off the bus.

I got to see the teacher also,

just wait for me at the station, okay?

I understand. Then we will wait at the station's restaurant, right?

Yeah..see you.

You are always practicing after school, don't you?

Why don't you come for hanging out with us sometime?

It is fun.

You don't have to look so intimidated.

I don't have time for playing around.

But you gotta have some leisure time sometimes, don't you?

If you are practicing all the time, does not it worn you out?

No...It won't.

You are really an angel, huh...

I mean, I always give up right away.

If you just came to ridicule me, go home!

Ah...sorry.

But I am not making fun of you.

I am sorry.

You are just interrupting my practice

Go home.

I get it.

Well, I'm going...

Sakizawa...

May I come another time?

I will come back.

See you.

That Sakizawa...He looks cute, but...

Stop talking about him...

Okay?

What?

Are you jealous?

No

But whe it is just the two of us in bed,

I thin that talking about him is

not needed.

Allright

I will only talk about you then.

You all have this probably been told already,

but the song for the upcoming test will be

"Reverie" of Debussy

It is a difficult song, but

if you are not able for playsing at this level, you cannot graduate this class.

What?

I am...

really bad at playing piano.

So?

So...

I want you to teach me.

Sit down.

Try to play it.

Again.

Wow.

By the way..lately you are not coming along when we go home, isn't it?

Yeah..! Why not?

I got lessons.

You got lessons?

What kind of lessons?

Piano of course

So weird. Why are you takings lessons so suddenlY?

It is not weird!

I just opened my eyes, that's all.

To the fact yu're not graduating forever, don't you?

No, that's not the case...

What then?

To music!

I wonder why you are even studying here!

I did it!

Why...

You like this too, don't you?

Why?

me....

Ruiki!

What?

Are you angry because of the other day?

No...

Then let's pick up where we left off...

Drop it.

Why not?

I dont't have time for that.

What's up with you?

Ruiku...

Why are you so icy to me?

Really, I do not...

remember acting nice.

Is that so?

But...

You were willing to teach me how to play, weren't you?

I only tuaght you because your lousyness annoyed me.

Even when that is true...

It made me very happy.

I want you to teach me again.

The test is one week ahead.

I have to catch up myself.

I want to teach you, but...

I ahve to pass myself also.

Don't bother.

No way you won't pass.

I don't like you.

I am serious.

Stop that.

I won't.

Ruiku.

Just admit.

Ruiku!

I will make myself clear,

because there is no way

that I like you.

I like you

Probably I am only a nuissance, but..

I'm really annoying, isn't it?

Sorry, but yes.

Okay

But I still want you to let me be on your side.

Is that too much to ask?

I don't want to force you into anything.

I won't interrupt your practice!

It is just because...

I really like you.

So let me stay by your side.

I am sorry...

I am talking nonsense...

What was that all about...?

Ruiku

Just admit it.

"Test Day"

Maki!

What's up?

Let's hang out

Okay.

Let's eat together

Mmm.

You don't want to?

I do!

Hey...what is it?

Nothing

Let's go home by bus today

Okay

Do you need going somewhere on the way?

The supermarket

Yeah...that's right! What do you want to eat?

Cream stew.

your favourite, right?

It's really good

Carrot!

Potato!

Today...at Maki's request,

Cream stew!

Okay

You're acting strange Maki

Do I?

How is it?

Good. The Salad is good.

It comes from the convenience store

Maki

You know..

What?

We have been playing around a lot,

Mmm

But in the end...

I really fell in love with you

I want us going out properly

More seriously

I don't know what to say...

I know

I got it

It is Sakizawa-kun, isn't it?

In all honest...

I did not think it will work out

But I

really like you.

I am sorry

Don't apologize

I

like Ruiki, so...

So...Sakizawa-kun...

is named Ruiku

For the first time, seeing you in love like this

Even you fall in love

It is real this time

I am able loving someone truly

Raika?

Raika?

It is truly a shame

that I am not the one you love

Had it been me,

I should have loved you no matter what.

Sorry

Don't apologize to someone you've been fooling for so long

But I still want you letting me be by your side

I don't want to force you into anything

So let me stay by your side

Sakizawa-kun

It is unfortunate, but the test can't be postponed

I beg you sir!

You are obvious the best

and you are important to the school

but for the same reasons

I don't want to let you just pass

You understand that, don't you Sakizawa-kun?

Even though you are talented

you can't get privileges different than the other students

By having the exam postponed

I will bea ble to making the same effort as everybody else

I mean

like this I am drawn back and cannot practice

I am not asking you for doing me a favor above others

I want to be on equal terms with everyone, like you said

Therefore I ask you to wait till my hand has healed

so that I an take the exam afterwards

Is that not possible?

I see how honest you are,

but do you understand what it means for a pianist injuring his hand?

What would you have done, had this been the day before the concert making your career?

If you came telling me this, would you respect me for postponing the concert too?

Of course

It was something to discuss, had you been a world famous pianist.

But even if you are the most talented student here

it will not make me think that you are any different from the rest

This is not something you can demand from me

And anyway,

These school regulatons say:

"There is no way for an exam to be postponed"

It is written in here

Then again...

This is something to be kept between the two of us, but..

if you would lend me your body...

i might reconsider

What are you trying to say?

You heard me

Lend me your body

That's all...

I cannot

Rearrangements of musical bars

You get it?

When breaking off repetitive musical intervals, it confronts the accent of musical bar

An already existing not, okay?

With the use of syncopation, the bar can be prolonge, and depending on the existing notes, the rhythm and melody may be given a personal touch.

Got it, right?

Well then. Next class

we will study the ideas behind the different musical scales.

Now...There are only five days left till the exam

Let's do our best for everyone be abling to take it.

Good Luck

Yes

That's it for today

Itadaki Mas (traditional phrase)

Maki!

Hurry and eat

Uh..mmmm...

Do you got Sakizawa's home address?

So suddenly? Why?

Do you?

Well.. When I arranged the welcoming party for new students, he has told me it, but...

Really? Can you tell me?

I think I wrote it down in here...

Here

Ruiku!

Why re you here?

I was worried about you...

I see...

I see...?

Well... I am tired!

I just want to go to bed

Then...

Let me in with you

I will look after you

I bet you wish

Good morning

Ahh

Ruiku

Ruiku

I made breakfast

Want some?

I'm fine

Thanks...

That hand...

You can't take the exam, can you?

I guess not

It won't heal in time

I will ask the teacher to postpone it

No...

I already tried that

He said no

I will probably take the classes over again...

But...

You should not have to

with your talent you should just pass

In the evening I took a walk

I feel on the stairs

I was thinking...

It was because I was thinking of your confession

And then I stumbled

Stupid, right?

No..

that's why.

I want you to stay away from me

What do you want?

can't you postpone the exam?

What?

What are you talking about?

About Sakizawa-kun of course!

Ahhh

It will not go.

I can't give him any special treatment

Ruiku?

I asked the teacher too, but...

he said 'no' after all

Just drop it

Don't overdo it

Overdo it?

I'm quitting music

No more piano

Why?

It is too much trouble

Just because you got injured?

Quit it

Go home

What do you mean by 'Quit it?".

Quit looking after me

Can you...

handle me some water?

Thanks

You know...

What?

Ever since I was a kid...

I had never friends...

That was...

probably because of my parents

They had me practice piano constantly

you got it wrong!

My mom taught me

Those piano lessons were...

mainly scolding

So...

Only as long as I played the piano well...

She would praise me

Piano was that to me

That is the reason why if don't have that...

everythings seems bothersome.

It's not like ...

You lost anything, isn't it?

You will be able to play again.

Raika?

You did not come to school today

No...

Sakizawa-kun did not appear either

Is that so?

Ruiku...

hurt his wrist

Yeah...

The teacher told me

I see

He also said that he won't be able to take the exam.

Did he?

Sakizawa-kun is troubled by it, right?

yes. I suppose so

Are you helping him?

I wanted to...

but...

there is nothing I can do...

I'll give you a hint

What?

Maybe you can postpone the exam

What do you mean?

Yamamime-sensei likes you

Wait..! What?

the rest...

you should figure it out at your own

You know. Somehow the teacher of our class is really nice to me.

It is because you are cute, so he is going for you.

Watch out for him

What do you want?

Won't you reconsider Sakizawa-kun's dispensary?

I thought I had already told you that I can't

I think I have a good offer for you

I will sleep with you

Now Sakizawa can receive dispensary, isn't it?

Huh?

Dispensary?

Don't act innocent

I got good proof here

But that is going to hurt you also, right?

I will be fine

Chiao!

Ruiku?

Your exam...

got postponed

How?

That is...I aksed for it.

Really?

Really

But...

The school regulations...

What regulations?

The school regulations say an exam can't be postponed

Did Yamamine tell you that?

If so. Don't worry!

Come on!

If you don't believe me, come and ask for yourself!

Sensei

Don't you have something to say?

What?

Please tell Sakizawa-kun that his exam has been postponed

I guess so

I will give Sakizawa-kun dispensary for the exam

Though...

This is between us

Usually I would not do something like this, no matter what

So think twice before you are telling everybody

Yes!

What?

Even if you broke your right hand, your left hadn is fine, isn't it?

Yeah...

Then...to make sure you will be fine at the exam, warm your fingers up a bit

You know...

If you don't eat properly...your hand won't heal

Why are you doing that?

Here.. Open your mouth

I am not doing that

"I am not doing that"

Drink your milk then

I ate a bit already. I am fine

But it is no good if you don't eat well

Or is it that you don't like what I have cooked?

No...that is not the case

"Stop repeating me"

Sorry. I am sorry!

Healed up nicely, huh?

Let's go

What?

Nothing

He finally took his exam

Great, huh?

Yeah

Congratulations on passing

Suppose that means that I am done here

p until now, I have...

never thought that anyone could love me

But...you know

Maki...you...

For the first time since I was born

someone hugged me

My world changed

Thank you

I am not that important person

And as so...

It is my turn to hug you

From then on

We moved in together

I somehow managed to graduate college

Of course, Ruiku graduated as top of the class

I was never able to play this, though...

Because of the memories from my past

Maybe I can do it now

After graduating, Ruiku started working as a pianist

and became quickly well-known

In all honest...There are a lot of people who can match Ruiku

But Ruiku has that special personality

I think people liked that

At the same time, I was just a freeter (freeter=jobhopper)

In the beginning, I acted as a kind of Ruiku's manager, but...

As Ruiku got more popular, I ended up a freeter

While living as a professional pianist, Ruiku...

took the entry exam at an Austrian university

If he passes, he will be able to live abroad

It has been a long time...

I really wanted to tell you

Okay

When you werein college, you were almost not able to graduate your class, isn'it?

That's correct

At that point, Maki helped you out, did not he?

Yeah

Makigawa persuaded Yamamime-sensei on my behalf

I am still grateful for that

You are wrong, Sakizawa-san

Maki gave his body to Yamamine,

for making him putting off the exam

I know how well doing you nowadays

But it is all thanks to Maki

Please keep that in mind

Well then

Maki...

I understand it now

How much you loved me

����...

Maki...

Maki...

Maki!

I have been accepted by the university!

Maki?

Ruiku. Welcome home

Congratulatons on passing

I still have not heard the actual result, but

it is you, so I don't reckon there is any doubt that you will pass

And...It is a bit rushed, but

I made the celebration dinner

I don't know how it tastes though

Ruiku...

Do your best in Austria too

I'll root for you, here in Japan

I am me, so..

I will try to rethink how I live life

then

I don't know how many years it may take, but

I will become someone who can face you proudly

Maybe I am being a little dramatic

Being together like this

felt like it was no good for any of us

It may be selfish, but

I am sorry

I love you

Ruiku

That...

Idiot

Hey Ruiku

I wonder if I have become more of an adult since then

Ruiku

I still love you
