Ryota told Kazuto:

"I still have feelings for you. So, yeah. I still have feelings for you. Even now. I had to say it. I would love it if…Well, I’d be happy if we leave the house at the same time. Together."

Ryota’s confession to Kazuto: The Boyfriend episode 10

In The Boyfriend episode 10, Ryota initiates a conversation with Kazuto because he wants the latter to know that Ryota still has feelings for him before he leaves the show. Kazuto shared his feelings earlier on the show, saying he liked Ryota.

In the seventh episode of The Boyfriend, Kazuto expressed his interest in Ryota, mentioning that he would like to have breakfast with Ryota. However, Ryota wasn’t sure at the time, and that’s what he was referencing in his current conversation.

Ryota told Kazuto:

"You know, the other day you let me how how you felt about it. At that time, I thought “Okay, now I can sort out my feelings.” I also thought I’d be able to let go of my romantic feelings for you."

He added:

"And it worked for a little while, I think. But when you and Alan came back from the sleepover date, I mean the second sleepover date, my stomach was twisting in knots when I was listening to your story about how it went."

After listening to Ryota and learning that he still had feelings, Kazuto thanked Ryota:

"When I met you in the beginning, when I started working in the coffee truck, it was my first time serving customers like that. You taught me so much. I appreciate you. But after the day that you shared that, that you were interested in me, I started to feel a bit awkward around you. Even though I didn’t mean to."

He said it was nice of Ryota to confess, but he couldn’t return his feelings because “that’s just how I feel.” Hence he politely refused Ryota’s offer to leave the house with him.

Ryota then thanked Kazuto for considering his feelings again. They said their goodbye and shook hands. Later on, The Boyfriend episode 10 featured the remaining housemates saying their goodbyes to Ryota while he was even more emotional and cried.

After leaving the Green Room, Ryota shared in his confession that it was painful but good. He was thankful that he got to say all the important things he needed to say. Ryota’s parting words were:

"I learned how valuable it is to stay honest and to be kind to everyone around you. I want to value those kinds of things from now on. I ended up with no regrets."
