Sekaiichi Hatsukoi 2

混乱の一夜と酔ったディナーの後、小野寺は高野への感情と向き合う。

Onodera leaves the office to visit the bookstore and thinks about how it has felt whenever Takano has touched him, but he dismisses these thoughts. At the bookstore, he runs into Yokozawa, and as they leave together, Yokozawa demands that Onodera move to a new home. Onodera argues that it his none of his business and teases Yokozawa that maybe he and Takano were dating. Yokozawa confirms this suspicion and Onodera realizes that Yokozawa doesn’t like him because he is protecting Takano. Back at the office, Onodera overhears a conversation between two women, one of whom saw Takano and Yokozawa together the night before. Takano invites Onodera to dinner, and though Onodera declines, Takano makes the plan anyway. Onodera tries to avoid having dinner with Takano, but Takano catches him and they go to dinner at Takano’s apartment. At dinner, Onodera becomes intoxicated and drunkenly confesses that Takano’s behavior has an emotional effect on him. Takano denies the rumor about him and Yokozawa and tells Onodera that he is greatly affected by his presence as well, including at his job. The two have a heartfelt moment where Takano calls Onodera by his first name and Onodera calls him "senpai." The next morning, Onodera awakens to find himself naked in Takano’s bed, unable to remember the events of the previous night, but pain in his hips and back leads him to realize that he and Takano might have done it. Despite this obvious evidence, he openly denies this taking place. (Source: Wikipedia)

Onodera wishes Takano a happy birthday and as they part, Takano requests Onodera's company on a drive for his birthday gift. On the drive, Onodera reflects on his feelings toward Takano, and Takano reveals the true nature of his relationship with Yokozawa and reminds Onodera that he has loved him for 10 years. Takano admits that when they were still high school, he used to imagine how he was going to celebrate his birthday with Onodera, and Onodera tells him that he used to imagine it as well (though they were never able to do it since their relationship ended). They kiss, and Onodera admits to himself that he cannot resist Takano. (Source: Wikipedia)

Hatori asks Yoshino to do front color pages at the last minute as the person originally in charge of it had to be hospitalized. After the work was completed, he is told that one of his assistants likes Yuu and blacks out due to overwork and exhaustion as he had not slept in days. Afterwards, Yuu comes to visit Yoshino, during which they talk about their plans to go to a spa. This time Yoshino asks Yuu to have Hatori accompany them as well, but Yuu objects. Yoshino encourages Yuu to go out with his assistant as she has a crush on him, prompting a frustrated Yuu for the first time to confess to Yoshino. Yoshino tells him that he likes him as well, but Hatori (who came to drop off a manuscript) hears it and leaves the apartment angrily. After Hatori leaves, Yoshino explains that he only meant that he liked Yuu as he was an important friend to him and not in a romantic way, but Yuu asks him to think about it. Yoshino calls Hatori to his house as he wanted to clear up the misunderstandings. When Hatori comes, he tells Yoshino that he knows Yoshino wants to end their relationship. Yoshino becomes mad that Hatori drew that conclusion and tells him off about it. Hatori feels better as that meant Yoshino was confessing his feelings to him. (Source: Wikipedia)
