To be honest, Miki , I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately
My parents are still so against my engagement
I rarely get to see Na-chan
Hiroshima and New York are far away, but I’m sure this distance will make our relationship stronger
We’ve just gotta hang in there

LOST PATHWAY TO LOVE
MY BOYFRIEND IS YUU, BUT…

Will you please go out with me ?
go out with me go out with me go out with me…
I don't expect you to make up your mind right away
I want you to take your time until you see me as a man
But, Kei
And I also need to sit down and have a talk with your boyfriend about my feelings
Is he home?
Yuu has gone to study in America
I see, it’s an exchange program , huh?
I guess he’s probably asleep right now , it’s 4 A.M. there
It’s really too bad that he’s not here right now, because I actually wanted to compete with him face to face
It seems like Kei’s matured a little recently
Although I am very appreciate of the good opportunity he’s given me
What opportunity ?
Just because we’re apart doesn’t mean our feelings for each other will change
We’ll see.
I’m confident you’ll give in
Kei
I can make you notice me, Miki , you’ll see
I can make you notice me, Miki , you’ll see , you’ll see , you’ll see …
I wish I could jump into Yuu’s arms right now
He always makes me feel safe
Come on, let’s get going or we’re gonna be late for school
Oh, sorry
Hold on, I need my bag
Hurry, let’s go let’s go
We’re gonna have to run
Michael
We’re late
Slow down , we don't need to run from here
Come on, Miki , I don't wanna be late
Really? That doesn’t sound anything like the immature Kei that I know
It makes him sound like he suddenly all grown up, doesn’t he?
I’m to blame, I shouldn't have let Kei taken control of the conversation like that
So, you’re saying Yuu’s hardly been gone, he’s already got competition
Meiko , that isn’t the case at all
But it is becoming a pain
Miki.
Hi.
Oh, do you mind
Wait
Michael’s another pain I have to deal with
Thanks Miki I guess I was really thirsty
You had all the pretty girls chasing after you again , right?
Right on
Then would you tell me something , if you’re so popular , why do you keep hanging around me ?
Because I don't like them , I like you , I plan on winning you over while Yuu’s in America
How did you know we were together
Hey, when it comes to girls I like, I always pay close attention
Don't worry, I know you’re hiding it from your parents , so I won’t tell
You don't want them to find out, right?
But why all the secrecy
Well, anyway, don't worry, when you’re mine, I’ll be proud enough to let everyone know about it
What?
Michael always seems to stay one step ahead of Yuu no matter what you say
Thanks, I could tell you’re sincerely concerned about me , Meiko
I think I’m gonna go call Yuu , my boyfriend
What the heck is she so upset about?
Wow, do you think it could’ve been something I said ?
Well.
Oh, he’s not there
Thank you then
Okay, bye-bye
It’s the middle of the night over there, why wouldn’t he be at home in bed
Yuu , are you still out
-hi
-bye, Miki
-bye
Hey.
Are you busy? Do you feel like hanging out for a little while
Kei
Miki
I saw you leaving from the window and I ran here as fast as I could so we could walk home together
Home together ?
Oh, Kei , this is Michael Grant , he’s a student from Yuu’s exchange school , he’s staying at our house while he’s in Japan
And Michael , this is Kei Tsuchiya, he’s one of Yuu’s good friends, he’s a great pianist
Hey, what’s up?
That’s odd, but I don't really remember being good friends with him
Let’s go, Miki
Well, it was great meeting you, Kei , we’ll see you later
Hold on, I have something I want to talk to Miki about
Yeah, well maybe I had plans too
So he’s interested in her
Hey, guys
Don't be so emotional
Hey, I’m not being emotional
You’re doing it right now , it’s obvious
You’re so immature
Immature, what year are you in?
I’m a junior
Really? Well, then we’re the same age
Hey, I’m not talking about age
Both of you grow up, Yuu is my boyfriend okay
Miki
You know I do understand how you feel about her
Yeah, I understand how you feel too
Listen, you little [11 51], don't be desperate or sneaky just because you live with her doesn’t mean you can take advantage of her, if you hurt her, you’re dead
Oh, shut up, do you really think I’m gonna listen to what you say?
Yuu
Thanks it was delicious
You’ve hardly eaten a thing
Sorry, I’m just not hungry
They was delicious
Was he there?
Miki
Don't cry, Miki , I understand , I know how much you hate Kei
Enough to complain to Yuu about it
I know, because I feel exactly the same way
Don't you worry, I can protect you from that big jerk
Miki
When you get right down to it, Michael , I think you are the one I’m gonna have to worry about the most
No way
Darn, he’s out again
I really wanted to hear his voice right now
Sorry
What’s wrong , Miki
Oh. It’s nothing
I see
I don't know what to do
I know the reason she’s having trouble but what can I do , how can I help her
Yuu , huh?
Yeah
Let me see
Oh
What
What do you think about getting Miki a new part-time job
I think a busy schedule will distract her and may change her mood
A new job
And there’s a perfect one for her, because Rei just started a business
Your wife, Rei?
Yeah, it’s an import business she has with her brother
If she’s available , it’d be a huge help , they need someone , so it may as well be her
Yeah, not a bad idea
I’m sure Rei would look after her
I’ll talk to Miki and see what she thinks about it
What?
I just realized that it’s been a long time since I saw you smiling like that
I suppose going through hard times makes me stronger
Well, it did change your appearance any, because to me, it looks exactly the same as you did when you were in high school
You seem stable , but you’re still clumsy and you cry too much
Hey, I’m making a very conscious effort , you shouldn't say anything or you may spoil it
But you don't always have to act strong , right?
Um-hum
sale imported goods
You kidding ? yeah, I’d love to work there
Good, Miki, I know Mr. Kijima’s wife would be happy too
Apparently , she and her brother desperately need another good worker
I’ve always love shopping in those kinds of stores
Tell you what, would you like to go to the store together after school gets out?
Sure
You’re still acting like a kid
We’re both juniors
I’m talking about being more and most immature not about how old you are
Miki
Listen , cut it out, I’m going to a store with Miss Ryouko for an important job interview , so I am warning you, don't follow me
But, Miki,
Are you ready , Miss Ryouko
I guess
Let’s go then
Miki , wait
Hey, why are you stopping me
I have an idea
Look, Miki isn’t going to have time to constantly be thinking about her boyfriend if she has to be concentrating on her new job, right?
What’s your point?
Well, that means this is a great opportunity for us
Huh
You’ve gotten very popular , Miki
It’s not like that
I’m sure this new-found popularity must be making Yuu very jealous huh?
I guess it could
I wouldn’t be surprised
Miss Ryouko , you’re really embarrassing me
I know you’re just kidding
But, it’s fine
I want Miki to keep laughing like that
Who cares if it’s a new job or what , as long as it cheers her up.
Isn’t that right, my friend
What’s right? Huh?
Nothing I guess
What are you talking about
Wow, this is cute
That too
And that
Nice
I found these Teddy bears last time I was in London and brought them back to Japan
They’re from London ?
Yeah, they begged to come home with me and I couldn’t resist, so I just had to get them
Wow, that’s great
I totally understand that feeling
Good for Miki
Oops
Huh?
Hey, is that a Riedel wineglass?
Yes, it is
I think I like these best
They are simple but still they do have a beautiful shape
It’s very nice
Meiko , that store is super cute
The owners, Rei and Akira are very nice people , too
Oh, Yuu , what’s Brain been doing since I’ve been gone?
What?
No way, you actually beat him in game of one on one , I didn’t know you were such a good player
By the way, Yuu , I’m glad you called
There’s something I have to tell you
I decided I’m gonna steal Miki from …
Give me that
Hi, Yuu
It’s me , don't mind Michael , just ignore him okay , he’s talking all nonsense as usual
Hey, I heard you tried to called me a couple of times , both times I was asleep,
Oh, that’s okay
Sorry, I missed you, the dorm phone can be pretty unreliable , not to mention inconvenient
But Bill lent me a phone I can keep in my room so now I can get calls here
You can leave a message on it, too, in Japanese
I have a feeling that will be a lot easier for you, won’t it?
Yeah, much easier, Yuu
What’s your new number
Well, do you promise to put it in the dialer I gave you
I will do it right now
By the way, I have a surprise , I can’t believe it, but I got a new part-time job today
That’s right
Well, Miki seems the happiest when she’s talking with Yuu

Dad, mom, please , you have to meet Mr. Namura
You can’t refuse to see him
We just got engaged
Please, I want to be with him as soon as possible , I can’t stand this anymore
I have to be with him
