GIVEN Live-Action Episode 4 Storyline

 Mafuyu has written nothing so far, I'm not surprised, though, Uenoyama on the other hand, why is he looking so depressed?

Did Mafuyu give his 100%? Yes, It's just Uenoyama loses his temper for no reason.

Haruki smells the weird acting of Ritsuka lately.

while breathing for the refreshment, Akihiko asks Ritsuka if something happened between him and Mafuyu. 

Ritsuka becomes confused by what Akihiko is telling him. 

Akihiko tells Ritsuka that he knew he was a late bloomer. 

Ritsuka asks Akihiko what he means and what he thought happened. 

Akihiko tells and points at Ritsuka to notice his face. 

Ritsuka asks Akihiko if there is something wrong with him. 

no and what's wrong about liking a guy? Akihiko has been with guys too, although it happened a long time ago. 

Akihiko tells Ritsuka that Mafuyu is writing the song because he asked him to. 

if it's okay for Ritsuka to admit that he has these feelings? 

Kasai begins to head out of the classroom to take out the trash. Ritsuka comes by and offers to help take the trash. 

Ritsuka throws the trash in the garbage and notices Kasai about to cry. 

which somehow makes Ritsuka feeling guilty yet confused. 

After telling him the rumors about Mafuyu, she thought how petty it was for her to tell. Nevertheless, Ritsuka glad to find it out. Shogo asks why Ritsuka is so popular. Mafuyu notes to himself how Ritsuka is genuinely kind to everyone. 

while Ritsuka watches over Mafuyu. 

Trying to keep his heart at a steady beat..

Ritsuka notes how Mafuyu's fingers are callusing like a pro's and that his hands used to be like that. 

But Somehow,..with Mafuyu's not getting anywhere with the lyrics…make Ritsuka less insecure,

realizing that Mafuyu is up, He immediately pulls his hand away. 

Haruki notices Mafuyu awake and heads on over, before being pulled back down by Akihiko. 

In the drama, we don't get to see Akihiko flashback, with his first love, Ugetsu Murata. 

Akihiko tells the others that they should stop practicing. 

Akihiko explains Mafuyu's skills and he won't be able to write the lyrics. 

Ritsuka wonders why Akihiko is pressuring him. 

Akihiko is taking Mafuyu home by motorbike, while Haruki drives Ritsuka home.

After giving Mafuyu a helmet and a coat, Akihiko tells Mafuyu that if he's not able to settle things with his past, then he won't be able to write lyrics.

Either, he wants to express it or just run away from having to verbalize it.

Haruki tells Ritsuka that Akihiko suggests stopping because of him, which he's able to play fine, but his flair is gone. 

Haruki tells Ritsuka that if he goes on like this then he is going to be overpowered by Mafuyu's voice. 

while Haruki notes to himself what's Akihiko going to do and that he just doubled down on his wager.
