A Touch of Fever (二十才の微熱)

Hey...

Your name's Toru, right?

How old are you?

19.

College student?

I see.

You do have a girlfriend, right?

No.

Then you must have slept with women.

But you seem to be so good at this.

With men, I mean...

Men or women, it doesn't really matter:

you don't need to love, you can just have sex.

Is that so?

I personally prefer a boy like you.

Do you have change?

5000?

Yes.

Here.

Well, I'll see you soon.

I'll ask for you again.

You're...

What was your name again?

Hi, Tatsuru.

Where's your boyfriend?

He seems to be busy with his employment.

He's not here today.

Busy with his employment at this time?

One company has already accepted him...

But he wants to aim higher.

Such an achiever!

He'll definitely make a good office worker.

You'll be busy with that next year, won't you?

True.

Some start from their junior year.

All that seems so unreal to me yet.

Imagine me becoming an office worker.

I'll get to it next year.

Where's your girlfriend?

Why ask now?

What was her name?

Satomi, right?

Is she here today?

No, she isn't.

How come? Why isn't she here?

No special reason.

Did you two break up?

Isn't that it?

I'm sorry to hear that.

She was pretty cute.

Why don't you look for a new one today?

This is an ideal place.

Yoriko, hello.

Where were you?

We were looking for you.

Beer, beer... Let's get some beer...

You'll come, won't you?

To the beer garden...

It's a great season for beer.

Come with us!

What's wrong with you?

You're such a bad sport.

I have a part-time job.

You already have a job?

We were planning to go look for one together.

Great friend you are!

What kind of job?

Manual labor.

Construction work?

No... wrestling.

Whatever it is, it's not your style!

Well, whadd'ya know?

You've got a pimple here.

You make me suspicious.

I can smell something fishy going on about you.

Hello, Tatsuru?

This is your father.

I've tried to call you many times.

Where have you been?

There's something we need to discuss.

I'm usually home in the evening.

In case I'm not home, why not talk to Emiko?

Do you understand?

So, how about it?

Are you going to do it?

You all have the looks.

You'll be quite popular.

You look like that actor.

Which actor?

Doesn't he look like him?

I don't know.

That actor.

Does he?

How much can we earn?

Some earn as much as a million yen a month.

A million?

Some customers give tips generously.

Maybe I'll try.

Are you serious?

It's a lot of money!

That's true, but...

Do we really do that with men?

You're not going to be slaves.

If you and the customer get to like each other...

it's up to you two.

But we have sex, don't we?

How do gays do it?

Do what?

You use your ass?

I hate pain. Then, don't do it.

Are you sure?

Sure. Why not?

You do it!

No, you do it!

Suppose I get a hemorrhoid.

I can't stand pain.

If you want to work show me your student ID.

You must also take an HlV test.

I forgot mine.

Me too.

Besides I haven't decided whether I'm gonna do it.

Did you come here just for kicks?

We didn't mean to bother you.

Why the hell would I become a faggot?

Is he one of them?

Forget it.

Still closed.

Oh, it's you.

You're early.

Are the lessons over?

I was free.

You really should've thrown them all out.

Forget about it.

That's how the kids are nowadays.

They think life is a piece of cake.

That a vending machine would provide them with everything they need.

Want a drink?

No, thank you.

Where are you going?

I'll buy something to eat.

My God, just look at all the mess you're making.

How can you eat sugar like that all the time?

What're you going to do if you get more pimples?

Make sure you attend all the classes.

It's funny I should say this, though.

I do.

I'm a good student.

That's good.

He's quitting gymnastics...

to be a TV personality.

I think he's really muscular.

There've been a lot of cute athletes recently.

What is it?

You're still reading that?

Why not?

Let's apply for it.

Just because we applied...

Well, what happens then?

Don't know. We won't get any replies.

We won't unless we apply!

It's kind of scary.

Who knows who'll read it?

Some stranger in the city...

Hey, try this.

It's delicious.

It's cool!

No teen idol types in this magazine.

What's this?

You don't like it?

Try this.

Want some?

No?

It's harmful to your health.

Any good?

Not really.

Hey... not again!

Come on, boys...

The bar's opening.

You shouldn't be loafing around.

Cheer up!

Come on.

Get up.

You, too.

Your teeth are crooked and your cheeks are ruddy.

Better work on them...

Come on, get up!

Mr. Kawakubo you're too old to have pimples.

I don't need comments like that.

Hurry up!

Yes, sir!

Shin, I need to talk to you about something.

I am all by myself today.

Have you decided?

Atsushi.

Kosugi, you're in the way.

I'll change it.

I'm sorry, Kosugi.

Make yourself at home.

Master, some ice, please.

Hang on.
