The Boyfriend episode 7 also featured many work shifts during which cast members could work with their chosen partner(s).
What happened on The Boyfriend episode 7: Recap
The episode started with the boys in the kitchen. They prepared various dishes and then sat for dinner. The main dish was nikujaga and sashimi. Everyone praised Ikou for the delicious nikujaga he cooked. They also talked about the picnic they had all gone to earlier.
Kazuto and Shun had a private conversation and discussed the picnic.
Kazuto in the confessional,
"It was good to talk to him. I mean….It seems like Shun has decided that maybe he doesn’t want to be just be friends. I think I have a lot to think about. There were definitely a lot of things that I liked about Ikou."
Gensei, after seeing Ryota making coffee for Kazuto, in confessional,
"I don’t know what to say. Well, it was the first time I fully realized his feelings, you know? I see that he obviously likes Kazuto very much. I don’t see a future. I mean, I think my time here is probably done. I feel like this is the end."
Next Day: Go-karting race on The Boyfriend episode 7
The next day, housemates received a message that there would be no shift. Instead, they would go for go-kart racing. Everyone was excited. The message also mentioned that the winner could go on a date with the person of their choice.
Everyone shared their desires and feelings about whom to choose if they won the race. The Boyfriend episode 7 revealed everyone’s thoughts, which were:
- Dai - Shun
- Shun - Wasn’t sure
- Gensei - Ryota
- Ryota - Kazuto
- Taeheon - Kazuto
- Alan - Kazuto
- Ikou - Kazuto
- Kazuto - Maybe Ryota
While most housemates were interested in Kazuto, Kazuto said that,
"Maybe a breakfast with Ryota or something," in the confessional.
The first race on the track was between Ikou, Shun, Kazuto, and Taeheon. Ikou came first and won the race. Shun was second. Alan, Dai, Ryota, and Gensei were the racers for the second race. Ryota won the race as he came first, while Dai was second.
The final round was between the winners of the previous two rounds. The racers were Ikou, Shun, Ryota, and Dai. Ikou was leading from the beginning, while Shun was last. However, Ikou was more aggressive, so his kart gave up. Dai was first, and Shun was second, progressing faster.
Shun won the race and became the ultimate winner. As mentioned earlier, the winner would get to go on a date. So when Shun was being asked about his wish, he said, “none.”
Later that night, Ikou asked Kazuto to chat outside the house privately. He told Kazuto that he had fallen in love with Kazuto at first sight. He was talking about their first meeting outside the coffee truck.
Ikou asked Kazuto,
"Do you mind if I like you?"
Kazuto told him they should get to know each other better.
Next day: Work duty and chosen partner
According to the message, Ikou was in charge for the next day and chose Kazuto to work that shift. They left for work, and while en route, they talked about various things, including their likes and dislikes. By the end of the day, they earned 6,900 Yen. They also spent some time alone, sitting by the ocean.
Second day: Work duty with two partners
On another day, Kazuto was in charge, and he chose Alan and Gensei for the work shift. They had a good day at work, earning 11,450 yen.
Third day: Work shift
Everyone was making plans for later that day. They thought of having an early dinner and then spending the night drinking and chatting. That day, Dai was in charge of the shift and chose Ikou as his partner.
The Boyfriend episodes 9 and 10 will come out on Netflix on July 30, 2024.
