This is what happened last time...
I'll do whatever it takes to make you mine, Sensei.
You don't want to know what happened?
I don't need to know!
You can take everything from me that you want.
And Uemura-sensei...?
I can't let you do that!
I can't imagine life without Natsumi.
We should cancel the wedding, before the school finds out.
He can't pretend he didn't do anything wrong.
The man who is so sincere and honest, it's annoying.
That's why I love you.
That night, Dad left the house.
I didn't know what to do.
I ran into you.
I'm sorry.
I love Shuuji.
I can't imagine a life without you either, Shuuji.
Natsumi... I should say this, too...
She said that Saeki-san hasn't returned since the two of you left their house.
I can't go back to being a normal student anymore.
Because I was the one who ruined it all.
But, Sensei... I want to see you.
Thank goodness... You did come here.
Natsumi
Let's get you home.
Why did you come...?
Sonoda... her phone...
She had me confiscate it and told me to hold onto it. Could you give it back to her?
You read this, didn't you?
I was glad.
So... I wanted to see you. The real you.
Let's head back.
Can I... be a regular student again?
Do you want me to come back?
We can't pretend nothing happened...
Even if I... make it so like nothing ever happened?
If I do that... will you be able to be happy?
You will, won't you?
Natsumi Natsumi Natsumi Natsumi Natsumi
Shuuji
Where were you?
I saw Saeki Hikari...
Why?
She's not like you think she is...
She wasn't acting the same.
What are you talking about?
Why are we even talking about her?
Weren't we going to talk about us?!
Natsumi...
Stop it!
I don't want to hear about her!
Shuuji!
Shuuji...!
Do you love her?
All the Precious Things You Taught Me
Episode 4
What brings you here?
I wanted to ask Yukari-san something.
About what I can do to help Hikari-chan.
You take good care of Hikari, Mizutani-san.
It's more than we could ask for.
Oh, no...
So, don't try and fill in for Yukari, too.
What happened was an accident.
I could have saved her!
She was conscious... if she had gotten to the hospital in time, they could have...
Please, let it go.
It's over now.
You can't just forget things like that.
Isn't that why you had the divorce four years later?
...I'm sorry.
I can't be there for Hikari.
All I can really do is ask you about her, over the phone.
I'm a failure of a father.
That's not true at all!
There are some parents who don't even know what their children look like.
I...
No... I'm sorry.
What is Kashiwagi-sensei like?
He's a splendid teacher, the pride of our school.
But I'm afraid I can't say much else, unless I know who I'm speaking to.
What was that?!
That scared me!
I'm terribly sorry!
We can get moving again once I make sure it's safe.
Damn...
I've got the details on the mid-term schedule, so I'll pass those out.
Tests already...?
Oh, no...
This is the scary one...
The really scary one.
Don't forget to turn in your biology reports later.
Uemura-sensei...
Yes?
Could you...?
Listening CD, part 1.
Sorry! Sorry! I'm so sorry!
Preparing for listening...
Sorry about that!
Guess you've got your mind on the ceremony, huh?
No... not as much as you'd think.
Oh, I remember now...
What am I going to do about that speech?
Do I really have to do it, Kashiwagi-sensei?
Y-Yes...
I've got a bit of stage fright!
Shall I handle it, then?
Never mind that.
Wait, get back here, you...
It's not like you can back out of this anyway, Tsuruoka-sensei.
Two of your cherished students are getting married.
I have to admit, I am happy about it!
I never imagined those two, who were classmates, would end up married.
Excuse us.
Excuse us...
Here are the reports, Kashiwagi-sensei.
Thank you.
I was worried about you, Saeki-san. Are you all right?
Yes.
What's with that look, Sonoda?
My face always looks like this.
Let's go...
Burns just sealed it! No one is going to make a better face!
My stomach seriously hurts!
No, no, I bet someone could do a better face if they tried.
Let's do a contest, then.
Hey, everybody! We're collecting funny faces!
It can be of you or someone else, doesn't matter, just send it to me.
We're gonna rank them once we've got them all in.
That's hilarious! The girls need to be in on this, too!
Why don't you do a cuteness ranking? Then I'm bound to win.
You?! Cute?!
Pretty sure that'd put Kodama at number one!
Just look at him!
W-what?! Stop it...
He is cute!
Come on, look this way!
Man, I barely come to class...
Here.
Thank you.
Cute ones will work, too! Send them in!
Okay!
See you next time, Sensei!
Sensei...
Here.
You forgot it.
Ow...
I guess even you lose your cool sometimes, Uemura-sensei.
What do you think you're doing?
Acting like nothing happened.
I have to act like nothing happened.
Because I care about Kashiwagi-sensei.
So... please, don't worry.
After everything that's happened?!
Oh, yeah?
Good morning, everyone!
I'm at the front, okay?
I want to thank you all for coming today.
I see you! Hey!
Here.
Thank goodness!
I haven't eaten anything at all today!
Thank you so much!
Okay...
Time to eat!
You're dressed pretty normally, today.
Yeah...
They're looking for tenants for these new apartments...
You can get paid to wait in lines for stuff like this.
Wow... that's neat.
Wanna sit?
Here we go...
For you.
Thanks.
What're you gonna do about Kashiwagi?
I don't want to cause any more trouble...
Because... you love him?
That seems kinda weird, to me.
Ken-chan!
Hey.
This is great! We're fifth in line?
Yeah.
Thank goodness!
I know.
Here's your bag.
Thanks.
I'm off, then.
Yeah. Oh...
It's okay. I need to go.
And that kind of stuff is okay to you?
Be careful! See you later!
That's what people are like once they're married.
It's okay.
Y'know, the reason I took the exam for our school...
It was because I liked a guy who went there.
It was so dumb!
He was two years older.
Thing is, since we're poor...
...there was no way at all we could pay to get into a private school.
But he said to me, "You should come, too." So I got a scholarship through sheer determination.
That's amazing.
Well, as soon as I made it, he shot me down.
Maybe like... he never even considered me as an option.
Makes me wonder what I was doing!
Just shows, when girls make a move, it's usually motivated by love.
And it generally never works out.
But I guess that's okay.
Yeah.
But it can become a habit to get used to that sort of thing.
And that's bad! You've gotta stay angry!
Ladies, get mad!
See? Isn't she funny?
Every time I see her, she has a new job.
This is so cute!
Don't you think?
Aya-san?
You're ruining that pretty face by frowning.
I'm acting normal again, right?
You should, too.
Yeah...
It was just so sudden, so I'm still at a loss.
The sooner I get back to normal...
...the sooner he can start acting normal, too.
"As long as Natsumi is with him, Shuuji will be taken care of for the rest of his life."
I agree.
Oh, this is from Akki!
Whoa... "I'm sorry, but I can't make it, because I just had my second child."
Is she serious?!
She just had the first a while ago...
I know! She must be really happy.
"I'm sure Natsumi will have a happy family," it says.
Wow, sound stuck up, much?
Yeah...
This is from Mika.
"Please have a bright, happy family that matches your personality, Natsumi."
This is from Harucchi!
"I'm coming, no matter what."
"I want to see the couple of the century with my own eyes," it says.
Someone still likes to exaggerate!
What's that one?
What's wrong? Who's it from?
Tsuruoka-sensei...
Oh, Tsuruoka.
From Tsuroka Satoshi I am incredibly proud of Kashiwagi-kun and Uemura-san. You have given me the greatest happiness a teacher can know. Thank you.
"I am incredibly proud of Kashiwagi-kun and Uemura-san."
"You have given me the greatest happiness a teacher can know. Thank you."
Hey... what's wrong?
What does it even mean... to be like me?
What am I like?
You're the Natsumi everyone cares about.
So, I should be the person everyone expects me to be?
That's not the real me at all.
You don't hesitate, and are strong...
That's what I thought, too, until a while ago!
Even when Shuuji wouldn't pick up the phone, I didn't worry at all.
But now...
I think I've called him fifty times.
I'm acting crazy.
And then, when I do see him... I can't look him in the eye.
I'm so scared... and I don't know what to say.
But in my head, there's so much I want to ask.
But I don't ask! That's what I'm like, now!
What happened?
What's making you act so differently than usual?
Shuuji...
He slept with a student...
I'm going to head out.
Okay...
Natsumi.
I think the fact that you're going to school like usual... is very much like you.
Thank you.
I don't really want to go.
I don't want to see Shuuji.
I don't want to see anyone.
I've never felt like this before.
Where did the person I was before all this go...?
Bye bye!
Sensei!
Here's my report!
Oh, thanks.
This was supposed to be three pages, minimum.
Wasn't there anything else for you to write about?
Look, I wanna go to practice! Hurry, please!
Was Uemura-sensei at the gym?
Natsumi-chan-sensei?
I heard she had a cold and went home.
Oh, I see...
Take real good care of her, Sensei.
For me, too, okay?
Right...
I'll be going, then!
Make Natsumi-chan cry, and I'll never forgive you!!
And he managed to get away with being one page short...
Dumb as he is, that was shrewd.
I'm sorry... I need to leave early today.
I'd like to talk with you, Kashiwagi-sensei.
I was in the same accident, you see.
The one Saeki Hikari-san's sister died in.
I'm a nurse... but I wasn't able to do anything, at the time.
I watched Saeki-san's sister die in front of me.
I watched a life that I could have saved... fade away.
Oh... but, I don't...
No.
That's the kind of career we have.
The kind that can change people's lives.
If it were a normal relationship, I would be glad to congratulate her.
For Hikari-chan to fall in love... it's a great thing.
But...
I can't forgive you.
Because you're a teacher.
That thing's in the way. Take it down!
It's fine now, right?
But Koichi wants to leave it up for now.
I've got no idea what that boy's thinking.
Shuuji! What brings you by?
Mom... how's your cut?
It's not bad.
But why are you here?
Dad... Mom...
I'm sorry.
I think... there's going to be a lot of trouble soon.
But I'll think of something.
What is this? What're you going on about?
Is this about Natsumi?
Nii-chan...
She came and saw me the other day.
Nii-chan, did you and Mom...
You did something, didn't you?
Making a girl like that worry...
What are you thinking?
My relationship with Natsumi is none of your business, Nii-chan.
But she came to see me!
That's...
Natsumi was wondering about that day.
You...
See, now that actually has nothing to do with me.
Or am I the reason things are so tense with you and Natsumi-chan?
It's a problem between the two of you, right?
Yes?
Shuuji...
Sayaka said you had already left.
Is your cold okay?
Yeah.
I wanted to talk.
What?
I think I'm going to tell the school.
You're going to confess you slept with a student?
Yeah...
But she understands, doesn't she?
Even if you don't say anything... she wouldn't...
I'm not going to say it was Saeki.
You're not going to say who it was?
What's the point, then?
I can't pretend it didn't happen.
I can forget about it.
I'll forget about it. Isn't that enough?
That's not it.
Then what is?
I...
Because I'm a teacher.
And it's unacceptable.
Would you give it a rest?!
Why do you always try to do the right thing, regardless of everyone else?!
It's fine!
Even if you're the worst teacher ever who sacrificed
his own student for his happiness, life goes on!
What do I do?
You don't have to pretend to forget.
You can hate me... for the rest of your life, if you want.
I deserve punishment.
I can't do that.
Shuuji...
For my sake... be selfish, this one time.
But you can't, can you?
You could never be selfish like that.
But I can't deal with this...
Having everyone know the truth... accepting what's happened, and moving on...
I can't do it.
I'm not as strong as you think I am, Shuuji.
And I'm tired...
I'm sorry.
For a woman, when the man you love has 100% faith in you... it's hard.
You want him to think... you're at least a little weak.
This has to be it!
Hey, come on! Give me a break!
Isn't there a rule against candid shots?
C'mon, it's fine!
No one wants to see that.
Aya-san
No sleeping shots!
I came to the school because I just can't accept what's happened. I won't bring your name up. I'm going to see someone now.
I came to the school because I just can't accept what's happened.
I won't bring your name up. I'm going to see someone now.
You're just trying to be like me.
Go on and tell him.
No!
Hey, morning!
Sorry!
Please! Don't!
Hikari-chan...
It's okay now!
But I can't just...
I don't want to hurt Sensei!
Things can't stay this way.
He has to take responsibility.
Is this about me?!
It's not, is it?
Aya-san... you're mad at yourself.
You've blamed yourself this whole time!
That's why you can't forgive my teacher.
It's not for my sake!
And if that's the case...
Don't do this.
This has nothing to do with that,
But did Sugimoto and Yamaoka...
I think they forgot.
Takiyama, isn't this yours?
Can you believe all that crying?
Now I can delete my picture...
It was so lame.
What is this...?
Just shows, you can't judge by appearances.
Oh, man...
What is it?
What? What's up?
I just saw something I shouldn't have...
Let me see.
Is... that... Kashiwagi?
Oh, crap, crap, crap!
Let me see that!
What is it?!
Why are you looking at her phone?!
I thought it was Takiyama's!
Sonoda, did you know?
This isn't about me!
Give me the phone!
Give it back!
Good morning...
Please... be seated.
Sensei...
What's with this picture?
I'm going to explain, so sit...
I want an explanation first!
We want answers first!
Quit screwing around!
Talk, now!
Hey!
We want an explanation!
Kashiwagi!
Sensei!
What the hell?!
Sit down, everyone!
I said, sit!
I want to hear this explanation.
What's going on?
No...
I know what it must be!
Uemura-sensei gave it to her!
Right?
Yeah... she...
That's your hand in there, though.
No...
I was joking with Uemura-sensei and...
Who would take a picture like this as a joke?
When he's not wearing anything?!
Stop it, all of you!
Well, it's true, isn't it?
What other explanation is there?
It can only mean one thing.
Seriously...?
What is this, Sensei?
Is it true?
Say something!
Tell us what's going on!
Sensei!
Sensei, come on!
Don't just stand there!
What did you do with Saeki?
You have to tell us!
Sensei!
Are not gonna say anything?!
Open your mouth!
Sensei!
Kashiwagi-sensei!
Please, Sensei!
I...
It's my fault!
He didn't do anything wrong.
I...
Saeki...
I...
...had a relationship...
...with a student.
No way... no...
No way...
And you're just admitting it?
Do you realize what you're saying?!
Was it with Saeki-san...?
It doesn't matter who it was.
He's saying he did it with a student.
What is this?
What the hell is this?!
Disgusting...
I'm terribly sorry.
It's true, then...?
You said it'd change things, didn't you?
Sensei... look at me.
You said you're supposed to do it with someone you don't mind changing with...
That's what you said, right?
And that... was a student?
If it's fine to do it with a student...
Wouldn't that mean it doesn't matter who you do it with?!
You said you needed to treat the person closest to you well...
I believed you, and tried so hard...
Aren't your students supposed to be important to you, Sensei?
This is sick...
He's the worst!
Who was that guy who taught us until now?
You acted like a good teacher, and slept with one of the girls? What the hell is that?!
Natsumi-chan...
What about Natsumi-chan?
What's gonna happen to Natsumi-chan?!
Isn't she supposed to mean the most to you?!
Well?! What happens to Natsumi-chan now?!
Hiraoka!
What are you all doing?!
Stop him!
Sensei...!
Hiraoka!
Damn it all...!.
Calm down!
Let me go!
Kashiwagi?
Yes?
Nobody knows what to do right now...
So, can you wait here for now?
One thing at a time.
Whatever might happen, I'll let you know.
For now...
I have to ask you to be patient.
Give us some time.
You knew, then?
Yes.
Well... we need to discuss this.
And that would be difficult, if you're present.
Could you please go home, for today?
But...
Please.
I understand...
I wonder if I would have noticed, if I were younger?
I'm so sorry.
Come on!
Nurse's Office
Oh, Sonoda...
Can I take Hikari home?
Thank you. Take care of her.
Tell me, Sonoda...
Stuff like this...
Nakanishi!
Don't go changing on me, Nakanishi.
I can at least trust you, Nakanishi-sensei.
I'll take care of it.
What's that supposed to mean?
Everyone... I am truly...
...so sorry.
I feel sick...
What did I have for lunch?
Let's go.
You don't have to watch all this.
No...
It's not right.
Next Episode
It was supposed to be a secret.
What happened on that night?
There's something I need to say.
I want to believe the things I've seen with my own eyes.
It all started on that night.
It's tough seeing everyone so angry at Shuuji.
I don't want anything else I care about ruined!
Episode 5 The Truth
Shuuji isn't the type of man who would sleep with a student.
But what if Kashiwagi has really been a scumbag this entire time?
How about a trade?
I'll tell you what I did on that day.
And in exchange, you tell me what Shuuji did.
Do you think Saeki has anyone she can rely on?
Shuuji may be falling in love with someone else.
This drama is a work of fiction.
