I"s Volume 15 Chapter 135 Brought to you by Jim Zubkavich and The Masakazu Katsura Shrine ------------------------------ Asou: If I keep hanging out with you all the time... I think I'd fall in love with you... And I'd care for you... far too much. ------------------------------ Asou: So, before we hurt each other... we should end this before it starts. Ichitaka: If I don't end this right here, I'll never forgive myself! ------------------------------ Ichitaka: A- Asou... ------------------------------ Ichitaka: You won't get hurt... I feel the same way you do! I totally understand why you're doing this. But if I let this go, you'll be gone. What... what should I do? ------------------------------ Ichitaka: Asou! Asou: eh? Izumi: Seto! Just break up with Iori and stay with me! You should be going out with me instead! You know you want to! ------------------------------ Izumi: Iori's changed! Was it all you thought it would be? Look at the differences and you'll see it too. It's too difficult for a normal guy to date a star like that. Girl: You've got to change the way you think about this relationship. If not... It will never work. Ichitaka: If it doesn't work, then I should end it. ------------------------------ Manager: Don't be pig-headed. Just break it off. Ichitaka: Break it off. It's another world. Manager: You can't understand it here. It's like another world. Ichitaka: Shut up! You can't tell me Iori and I aren't meant to be together. ------------------------------ Ichitaka: I.. I, uh... Teratani: Okay, I have to pry and ask you one thing. I can see how much you like Asou. It's been obvious from the start. When I thought about it, I figured you two would have to get together ------------------------------ Teratani: But if you two do go out, you may have lingering feelings for your beloved Iori... And then you'll hurt Asou even more than her last boyfriend did. I see it, and what do you believe? Asou: Oh, it's snowing! It probably won't last long. ------------------------------ Ichitaka: Asou really likes me... Dating Iori is so hard on me. And yet... We're going out. I have a girlfriend. But with her not here, it just hurts. Asou: I'm so confused. and that means I can't decide. People don't want to be alone, but we run away to see if other people need us, right? You've already got a girlfriend. I don't want you to wreck that. ------------------------------ Ichitaka: Asou... we're so similar. I wanted to say almost the same thing to you. A guy like me... I've got no dreams, right? It would never work. Asou: You... stabbed me deep there! I got rejected... ouch. ------------------------------ Asou: Thanks Seto. It's only been a few months, but I'm glad I start fresh. Just remember that waiting isn't always a solution. Take action instead of waiting for answers. Don't make the same mistake I did. Don't do it... ------------------------------ Guy: I think... If you want the best advice. Just break up with him. Ichitaka: What? What do you mean? Guy: It's never easy, but it'll be for the best down the road. ------------------------------ Guy: You want to grab hold of your dreams, right? Being a great actor and part of a production, you get to touch the hearts of countless people... When you're this close to that goal, the other things don't matter as much. You see? ------------------------------ Guy: Look at me. I've been working as an actor for 5 years. I've worked really hard to get to this point. I'm not a heartthrob, so I've had to make it on talent instead of just good looks. I'm determined to work and make it. Deep down I was worried that I'd sacrificed everything for nothing... But then, I got a break! The instructor's approved me. This is the time! I'm going to work harder than ever and make it go all the way! Even if it's a small role at first... ------------------------------ Guy: The instructor thinks you're great. He can see your talent. If you get distracted, it'll all go to waste. Iori: You think so? Guy: For sure! It doesn't sound good at first, but you have to think about yourself first. Make the hard choices now and suceed later on. Win or lose, succeed or fail... ------------------------------ Guy: Look at it all. How does a boyfriend fit in with your plans? Ichitaka: I'm starved... want to get some noodles? ------------------------------ Ichitaka: Listen up, Takashi! I made a choice! Takashi: OH? Good stuff! Ichitaka: Meeting Asou is a great thing. Takashi: Yeah? Ichitaka: She opened my eyes to my weakest parts. I think she helpoed me even as I was trying to help her instead. ------------------------------ Ichitaka: Meeting her was great. It was meant to happen... Without that, I would have probably given up. I'm not giving up again. I'm not confused anymore. Do you get it?! Takashi?! Hello? Takashi: You're babbling, man! What are you talking about?! ------------------------------ End of Chapter 135 ------------------------------
