[Scene: Kenta's Room – Early Morning]
(Kenta wakes up. Stares at the ceiling. Touches his lips. Smiles.)
Kenta: (thinking) "It wasn't a dream. I confessed. They confessed. We kissed. Under the stars."
(His phone buzzes. Group chat.)
Sui: "GOOD MORNING BOYFRIEND! "
Yui: "Good morning our prince! "
Sui: "I CAN'T BELIEVE WE CAN SAY THAT NOW!"
Yui: "BOYFRIEND! OUR BOYFRIEND!"
Sui: "How do you feel?! Tell us everything! "
Kenta: (smiling) (typing) "Good morning. I feel… warm. Happy. Like solving the hardest equation of my life."
Sui: "HE SAID WE'RE THE HARDEST EQUATION! "
Yui: "THAT'S SO KENTA-KUN! I LOVE IT! "
Sui: "Meet us at the gate? Same time?"
Kenta: "Same time."
(He puts down the phone. Looks at the astrolabe on his desk.)
Kenta: (whispering) "Father… I did it. I told them. And they said yes."
(The astrolabe gleams. He swears it winks at him.)

[Scene: School Gate – Morning]
(Sui and Yui are already there. Both wearing their matching hair clips. Both glowing.)
Sui: (running) "KENTA-KUN!"
Yui: (also running) "OUR KENTA-KUN!"
(They crash into him. Hug from both sides.)
Kenta: (stumbling) "Good morning."
Sui: (looking up) "How did you sleep?!"
Yui: (also looking up) "Dream about us?!"
Kenta: (ears red) "I dreamed about the stars."
Sui: (pouting) "That's not us!"
Kenta: "You were in the stars."
Yui: (melting) "OH MY GOD HE'S ROMANTIC NOW!"
Sui: (also melting) "THE CONFESSION UNLOCKED ROMANTIC KENTA-KUN!"
Kenta: (looking away) "Let's go to class."
Sui: (grabbing his hand) "Hand holding!"
Yui: (grabbing his other hand) "Both hands!"
(They walk into school together. Students stare. Whisper. Smile.)
Student 1: "That's the guy who confessed to two girls at once."
Student 2: "With SCIENCE."
Student 3: "Legend."

Takahashi Kenji: "KENTA! THE LEGEND HIMSELF!"
Kenta: "Good morning, Takahashi."
Takahashi Kenji: "GOOD MORNING?! THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?! AFTER THE MOST EPIC CONFESSION IN SCHOOL HISTORY?!"
Kenta: "It was… necessary."
Takahashi Kenji: (grabbing his shoulders) "You spoke in front of the WHOLE SCHOOL! You proved love with SCIENCE! You kissed TWO GIRLS at once! You're not human!"
Kenta: "I'm human."
Takahashi Kenji: "You're SUPERhuman. SUPERHUMAN KENTA."
Kenta: (almost smiling) "Sure."

[Scene: Rooftop – Lunch]
(Sui and Yui dragged Kenta up here. They sit close. Very close.)
Sui: (leaning on his shoulder) "Kenta-kun… can we ask you something?"
Kenta: "What?"
Yui: (leaning on his other shoulder) "What are we now? Like… officially?"
Kenta: (thinking) "You're my girlfriends. Both of you."
Sui: (tearing up) "Say it again."
Kenta: "You're my girlfriends."
Yui: (also tearing up) "Both of us? At the same time?"
Kenta: "Yes. I love Sui. I love Yui. Both. Together."
Sui: (crying) "KENTA-KUN…"
Yui: (also crying) "THAT'S ALL WE EVER WANTED."
(They hug him. Tight. Three become one.)

Yui: (also smug) "School celebrities."
Kenta: "You're enjoying this too much."

[Scene: Kenta's Room – After School]
(They're at his hostel. Studying. Or trying to.)
Sui: (staring at him) "Kenta-kun…"
Kenta: (not looking up) "What."
Sui: "Can I sit on your lap?"
Kenta: (choking) "What?!"
Yui: (gasping) "SUI! That's bold!"
Sui: (face red but determined) "We're girlfriends now! We should do girlfriend things!"
Kenta: (ears red) "What kind of things?"
Sui: (climbing onto his lap) "Like this!"
(She settles on him. Arms around his neck. He freezes.)
Kenta: (stiff) "This is… warm."
Sui: (grinning) "Good warm?"
Kenta: "…Good warm."
Yui: (pouting) "What about ME?!"
Sui: (patting her lap) "Come here!"
(Yui climbs onto Sui's lap. Now it's a tower. Kenta at the bottom. Sui on him. Yui on Sui.)
Kenta: (trapped) "I can't move."
Yui: (giggling) "Good!"
Sui: (also giggling) "You're our pillow now!"
Kenta: (thinking) "This is my life now."
(But he's smiling. Definitely smiling.)

Yui: (also melting) "WE CREATED A MONSTER!"
Kenta: (almost laughing) "Maybe."
(They reach the gate.)
Sui: (standing on tiptoes) "Goodnight kiss?"
Yui: (also on tiptoes) "Both of us?"
Kenta: (ears red) "Okay."
(He kisses Sui's lips. Soft. Sweet.)
(He kisses Yui's lips. Same.)
Sui: (touching her lips) "I'll never get used to this."
Yui: (also touching hers) "Me neither."
Kenta: "Same time tomorrow?"
Sui & Yui: (in unison) "ALWAYS."
(They run off, waving.)
