Eternal First Love Page #5

---

I cooked something...

for a classmate of mine.

That's when I first felt it.

The exhilaration of cooking...

I am going to take this.

for other people.

Especially to someone who

really enjoys the food.

I was saved by her smile.

To see that smile,

- Is that good?

- Not bad.

I thought I'd cook anytime she asks.

She loved to eat and

all she thought about was...

making me cook for her.

This plate is good.

I can't count...

how many dishes I made for her.

Here you go.

- Thank you.

- Yes.

She was a genius at looking happy

when eating my food.

- I am going to take this.

- Sure!

Having said that,

she never once told me how good it tasted.

I think I got better at cooking...

to make her say, "It's good."

She was silently giving me the motivation.

We're through.

This is nice.

Much nicer than I thought.

I was worried 'cuz you said food stall.

What's on the menu?

Anything you want to eat.

Is that the restaurant's slogan?

It depends on the ingredients.

Okay, listen.

Appetizer, Caprese salad.

First course, gnocchi Sorrentina.

Second course, sea bass acqua pazza.

Dessert, baba

and double espresso.

- A Taurasi wine.

- Okay.

What's the name?

I haven't decided yet.

Then I'll give it one.

Ristorante D'Angelo.

"The angel's restaurant"?

Yes. Make it one that gives people

a gentle push from behind.

Sounds good.

The first meal she ordered.

A crazy course.

You should make a happy face especially

when you're sad.

Then an angel will give you

a gentle push from behind.

Takeshi...?

Are you enjoying playing

with my feelings?

This is not at all like

Takeshi's cooking.

I'm never coming here again.

I don't ever want to see you either.

Napoli...

Takeshi!

Takeshi!

- Wait!

- What do you want?

I ran like this that night.

I wanted to tell you...

Tell me what?

Hey!

What happened?

What's the matter? No!

What are you doing?!

Wake up!

What's wrong?! Wake up!

Sorry.

Who are you? What do you want from me?

I...

I hate you.

I hate Yuuki Makihara

for taking Takeshi from me.

Give him back!

I want Takeshi back!

Even if you don't believe I'm Takeshi

I want to love you afresh

as Yuuki Makihara.

I love you.

You're... not Takeshi.

The real Takeshi would never say that.

You couldn't begin to understand

but Takeshi and I were friends.

We were friends.

A few times, I thought of becoming...

more than just friends.

But Takeshi...

With a smile like an angel,

he so gently rejected the idea

and chose to stay friends with me.

Do you know how much

I was saved by that?

Every relationship...

doesn't have to develop...

into a romance.

A special friendship that embraces

you can make life so wonderful.

You'd never understand that.
