Oh, you were the youngest?

That's right, I'm the same age as Dai, but I didn't look like the youngest at all.

I'm big, Shima, you know. He's the tallest, but looking at him like this,

he seems like the youngest. Ah, I see, so he's 24 now? 2421 You're too young.

I didn't feel like I'd met you there before.

Well, we probably have something in common on social media and follow each other,

so we're like," Let's go out for dinner." At that time,

I absolutely did not see him as a boyfriend, we just went out to eat like normal,

and then when I

went to Osaka we would be like,“ Let’s grab a meal,” and when he came to Tokyo,

it was like,“ Let’s go eat,” you know? Yeah. Hmm. Okay, problem solved.

So, how is it, like… When I joined GreenRoom, I was welcomed in as the youngest one,

but if anything, I’m more the type who…

Including my current personality,

I already kind of felt this way myself, so I fit in really well,

but you two just couldn’t…

or rather, was there something that made you pull back a bit? I'm not good with

large groups of people to begin with, but when there are two or three people,

I start talking a lot. First of all, it was really hard for me,

especially since I was the youngest. But I went to the coffee truck.

The opportunities to talk together increased,

and towards the end we gradually started to talk,

but still, there were still a lot of people.

So I was really terrible at it. Since you were close in age,

Gensei was the one helping her out, right? That was not how it was? Well, we're

really close now, but we were really close at Green Room.

There was a scene like," Did you get a reservation?" There was a scene like,"

I got a reservation." Ah, I don't know if it was because of Taehong,

but we were kind of acquainted with each other. What did you both think about

that scene? I was the youngest at the very beginning,

so I was a little jealous that my position as the youngest was taken away from me.

And I wanted to go with the cute character, so I was like“ Huh?

Wait,” like“ I’m the cutest one here, you know.” Yeah, yeah, yeah.

At first this really cute one joined,

then someone even cuter than I could have imagined joined,

and they stole it from you. Yeah, they took it from you. So about that too,

I was kind of jealous,

or rather, I had to admit it, but, you know, when I joined…

when I came in— At first, right, I was the youngest. The whole time.

And that was actually pretty rough, you know,’ cause everyone was older,

talking about company stuff and all that. They talked about work,

and I just couldn’t keep up with those conversations,

and I really ended up losing my confidence.

Did you ever have stuff like that happen?

I think so, it kind of stuck with me. Like—“ Did you?” I wondered.

Yeah, I had that so much it was killing me. First of all, I was lonely.

Just fundamentally. I was super lonely,

and you know that Gensei plushie? Yeah, I gave it to you.

I just suddenly had this pug plushie— Yeah, I inherited that.

I was, like, super homesick,

and I was probably telling everyone in the Green Room about it.

And he tried to solve it like this,

and I could tell what that pug plush meant, so I really felt that. Doing this,

yeah, I think I really felt it. Like, seeing the adults from that“ young young”

point of view, what I felt was, like, my own worries,

they’re not exactly tiny, but… I really thought,“ Wow,

I’m still such a kid,” and when I watched one through four,

they were having these really adult conversations, really looking ahead,

acting and speaking with the future in mind, and right next to that…

I didn't even notice that he was close to me,

so I've reflected on that and I want to become an adult like that. That's nice.

Before that, I had a really tough relationship and I came to

Green Room.

If I end up being able to fall in love, that’s good,

and I was thinking there would be a lot of older people,

so I wanted to hear everyone’s values about love and so on. I was thinking that if

I could learn more about, you know, different kinds of feelings and emotions,

that would be nice. I really felt that the way Izaya and William move their romance

forward is so incredibly mature, totally different from me.

Their way of looking at things also feels so grown up,

and of course it is important to just go“ waa” and pour your feelings out,

but you should first take a step back and think more about the other person,

broaden your perspective,

and move things forward that way too,

and I felt that is really super important. A fight broke out, right?

I think it was that fight with Dai,

and at that time I really felt,“ Wow, values can change this much.”

I really felt it there,

like,“ The way this Green Room is now, this isn’t good.

I want everyone to be able to go home smiling more.” When I felt that way

and did that, my brothers said,“ Hold it. Do not meddle in other people's

love lives.”

When he said something like,“ Because we each have our own pace,”

lately, even just living my daily life,

even if other people’s love turns out that way… I often think,“ Oh,

this is something I learned in the Green Room,” that happens a lot lately, like…

Things like trying to challenge myself, and also stuff like what Taehon- san

dislikes in there… They’d tell me,“ Here, eat this,” or“ Try this,”

and that really stirred up this feeling of wanting to challenge myself.

So I hope my life from here on out can be one where I keep taking on more

challenges, the“ Let’s try anything” team. Let’s do our best, do our best,

do our best, I’m gonna do it, ready, set, go— What is this? What is this?
