(At Koutani's apartment)

Koutani : (looking outside the window... raining hard) ... Minami... (recalls how she 'rejected' him) Nande...? ... is it probably because of that...... Keisuke...? (thinks) Kuso! (gets his jacket and goes out of his room)

(Koutani goes out to the streets... without thinking where to go or what to do... he just feels really angry inside...) (he continues walking until he reaches the park)

(Some girls notice him)

Girl 01 : Is that Koutani?
Girl 02 : Koutani the model?? Oh my!
Girl 03 : Let's go approach him.

(The girls tried to approach him)

Koutani : (suddenly looks up) AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The girls got surprised)
Koutani : Kuso!!! (becomes really soaked) (suddenly becomes weak) Kuso... (falls on his knees)
Girl's voice : Ta... Tamaki-san?
Koutani : (raises his head) H-huh? Mi-Minami?
Minami : (looks around and looks at him) (offers him her umbrella) You're soaked...
Koutani : Minami...
Minami : (bends and helps him) Daijoubu desuka...? Tamaki-san?
Koutani : ... Mi... (falls again)
Minami : Ooi~... Tamaki-san! (hold him) Hang in there...!
Koutani : (looks at Minami with pitiful eyes) Mi-chan... (suddenly embraces her and pretends to be miserable) Dou-doushita no...? Dou sore ba iinda yo...?? (Why...? What should I do..??) I... I feel so alone...
Minami : ...
Koutani : (starts to cry) Boku ga sai'aku...! (I'm the worst...!)
Minami : Wh-what are you talking about...?
Koutani : (holds her tighter and pretends to cry more)
Minami : (feels pity) ... Chigau yo... Anou... I think Tamaki-san is a very nice person... so don't say those things... I'm sure a lot of people appreciate you...
Koutani : ...
Minami : (pats his back) There now... (comforts him)
Koutani : (parts from her slowly) Minami... (smiles) ... arigatou...
Minami : (smiles) Ii...
Koutani : I feel a little better now... sorry to give you trouble...
Minami : It's okay.
Koutani : (realizes) Ah! Oh no! You're also wet now... I'm so sorry...!
Minami : (shakes her head) Don't worry. I'm okay.
Koutani : Iie. I should do something about it...
Minami : Don't hassle yourself, Tamaki-san...
Koutani : You're soaked because of me... I should get you dry clothes... (thinks) I know...!
Minami : ...eh?

(Kouhei brings Minami to his apartment)

Koutani : Please come in.
Minami : (silently goes in) 
Koutani : Please. I'll give you some towels so you can dry up... then I will try my best to find something for you to replace your soaked clothes.
Minami : ... Uh...
Koutani : (brings her inside and leads her to the living room) Please feel comfortable. I'll go get a towel... (goes to his room)
Minami : ... (hesitant to sit so she remains standing)
Koutani : (goes back) Ooi. Why aren't you sitting down?
Minami : Ahh... I don't want to ruin your couch...
Koutani : (chuckles) Nani o iutenda...?  (What are you saying?) You shouldn't be thinking about those... Come on, sit. (goes to her... suddenly he trips and falls on her) Whow!
Minami : Ah~! ( lands on the sofa)
Koutani : I-ittai... (looks at her)
Minami : (looks back and feels awkward with the situation) Uh...
Koutani : Aah...- aah! Sumimasen! (backs off) I'm so clumsy. Sorry. (helps her)
Minami : Iie. It's okay.
Koutani : (stands up) Here. (gives her the towel) I'll go check on some clothes... (goes back to his room)
Minami : Cho-chotto, Tamaki-san...!
Koutani : (Goes out) Why?
Minami : You don't have to worry so much... about me... I mean...
Koutani : But I want to.
Minami : ...
Koutani : (smiles) I can't just leave you like that...
Minami : Demo...
Koutani : You want to choose from my clothes? (chuckles)
Minami : What? Me??
Koutani : Though I think it'll be a little loose on you... but I think it's fine... come. (gets her hand and leads her to his room)

(Koutani opens his closet door and turns on the light) (Different styles of shirts and clothes line up)

Koutani : You choose.
Minami : (looks at all the clothes) You have... so many clothes...
Koutani : (chuckles) A model. But I don't really wear all of them... some are just given to me and I have to wear them on shoots...
Minami : Sou... Must be really nice to be a model, ne?
Koutani : It's fun... tiring... pressuring.
Minami : Sou...
Koutani : Go ahead. I wouldn't mind anything you pick. (smiles)
Minami : ... Uh...
Koutani : (suddenly removes his shirt)
Minami : (shocked and moves away)
Koutani : (goes in and picks a shirt) (notices Minami) Doushita?
Minami : Ah... nandemonai...
Koutani : (smiles) (gives her the shirt he's holding) How about this one? It's a comfy shirt.
Minami : A-arigatou... (accepts it)
Koutani : (stares at her) Minami-chan wa... hontou ni kawaii ne.
Minami : Huh?
Koutani : Especially when you act shy. (chuckles)
Minami : ... (looks away) Uh... it's because... Tamaki-san is...
Koutani : (goes closer to her) Please... just Koutani.
Minami : ... (moves a step back)
Koutani : (continues to move closer)
Minami : (feels her back on the wall already) A-anou...
Koutani : (gives her the seductive look) Mi-chan... (moves his face closer) (puts his arms around her)
Minami : Cho...---
Koutani : (interrupts her with a kiss)
Minami : (too shocked)

(Minami actions to push him away)

Minami : Ya-yamete...

Koutani : ...?
Minami : ... yamete... kudasai...
Koutani : ... shittene... (I won't.)
Minami : ... demo...
Koutani : (looks at her eyes and then leans his head on her shoulder) (whisper) boku ga... dekinai... ( I...can't)
Minami :(pauses) Dou iu koto...? (What do you mean...?)
Koutani : ... Anata wa... boku no koto o netsubou dake... (You are... my only desire...)
Minami : H-huh...?
Koutani : ... (moves his face closer to hers) Daiji ni naru... Minami... Yakusoku... ( I will cherish you... Minami... I promise.)
Minami : ... (looks at him)
(Koutani gives this 'sincere' look which makes Minami speechless)
Koutani : Yakusoku. (closes his eyes and kisses her again)
Minami : ... (slowly closes her eyes)
(Koutani gives her an intimate kiss... but Minami is still a bit hesitant and seems like she's unsure of what is happening...)
Koutani : (slowly parts from her)
Minami : (looks at him and looks away)
Koutani : Samui deshou ka? (Are you cold)
Minami : ...huh?
Koutani : (steps back and takes her hand) You better change.
Minami : ... uh... un.
Koutani : You can change here... I'll go outside to drink... (leaves her)

(Goes to the kitchen to drink water)

Koutani : (smiles proudly to himself) Minami...
(His telephone rings)
Koutani : (chokes) Nanto..!? (Wtf?) Who the heck could be calling right now?
(the answering maching answers) "Hi, Koutani here. I'm out. Leave a message. Ciao."

Lucy's voice : Ooi, Kou-chan! Doko ni iru no?? (Hey, Kou-chan! Where are you??)

(Minami finishes changing and opens the door... she hears the voice recording)

Lucy's voice : Tomorrow will be a busy day! Fukuda-san wants you to endorse for him... and so you'll start shooting for the commercial... and could you get me Keisuke's number? I simply forgot to get it from him when we separated... so please call back. Bye~

Koutani : (notices Minami) Minami.
Minami : (becomes silent)
Koutani : (goes to her) Doushite?
Minami : Iie... nandemonai...
Koutani : Uso janai tte... hanashite. (Tell me the truth... what is it?)
Minami : ... betsuni nandemonai...
Koutani : (holds her face) Minami...
Minami : ...nani?
Koutani : Sabishii mitai o mitte koto naranai no... (I don't want to see that sad look on your face...) Dakara... waratte. (so... smile.)
Minami : ... (smiles)
Koutani : Maa... Kireii da ne. (See... that's pretty.)
Minami : ... arigatou... hontou ni yasashiindesu. (thanks... you're really nice...)
Koutani : (embraces her) Minami... daisuki.
Minami : ...
Koutani : Please stay with me for the night...
Minami : E-eh? (shocked)
Koutani : Onegai ne.
Minami : ... un... sore wa... (looks at him and feels guilty) ... (just nods) ... 
Koutani : (looks at her) (smiles) Arigatou. (holds her close and kisses her again)
Minami : ...
Koutani : (after kissing her, he cuddles her) Come.

(Koutani leads her to his bed and lets her sit on it)

Koutani : Mi-chan... I really like you...
Minami : ... Tamaki-san...
Koutani : (sighs) I can wait... I will wait... even if it takes forever...
Minami : ...
Koutani : ...Do you have... someone in your heart already...?
Minami : ... (thinks) Wakaranai.
Koutani : ...wakaranai. (feels a little disappointed but doesn't show it)
Minami : You need to rest now... Lucy-san says that you'll be busy tomorrow.
Koutani : (chuckles) Ki ni sunda yo... daijoubu. (Don't worry about it... it's okay...) But you're right... we need to sleep.
Minami : ...
Koutani : (smiles and lets her lie on the bed then stands up to go the other side of the bed) (lies on the bed and faces Minami)
Minami : ... uh... oyasumi.
Koutani : (smiles and moves close to hold her) Mo oyasumi... (kisses her forehead)
Minami : ... (closes her eyes)
Koutani : (goes to sleep as well)
