It's a femoral compound fracture.
Yes, doctor.
Dr. Nishigaki!
He said to wait!
It's too risky to wait.
But...
The artery needs to be sewn up.
I have to be strong! I can't be a burden!
Forceps!
Yes!
I'm sorry!
My mind is blanking out...
The patient... Naoki... It's all my fault...
What should I do?!
Hey.
Stand up.
Huh?
Ow!
I can't use my hands, so it can't be helped.
What are you scared of?
Aren't you scared?
Of course not.
Listen. I...
studied this for years. I'm totally confident.
I'm probably better than Dr. Nishigaki.
This patient is lucky.
I would never allow your little mishaps to endanger his life.
Just listen to me.
Okay.
If you understand, then go wash up and pick up those instruments.
Yes!
What are you doing?!
Nurse Shimizu...
Dr. Irie, do you have Dr. Nishigaki's permission?
- No. - What?
His condition deteriorated suddenly. I needed to act quickly.
Dr. Nishigaki is operating now. He couldn't leave.
I decided to do it.
You decided...?!
Kotoko, go!
Yes!
Ms. Irie...
Fine. But I can't let her do this by herself.
I'm going to assist you, too. Tell me what I can do.
Thank you.
I can breathe again. I can see clearly now.
Okay! I'm fine now.
- Forceps. - Yes.
- Scissors. - Yes.
Suture 6.0.
Yes.
Everything went so smoothly after that.
Naoki was so sure of himself...
Prepare the saline.
Yes.
Even Nurse Shimizu, who was uncertain at first
seemed to trust him.
This was only my second time assisting...
But Naoki's words were so full of confidence
that I knew he was right.
You can do it, Naoki!
Okay...
- Gauze. - Yes.
It's done.
Yes!
You did it!
Dr. Irie.
Thank you. You did a wonderful job.
Thank you.
Can you check the operating room?
Yes.
Naoki.
The patient's surgery went smoothly, too.
Good.
Um... Naoki.
I'm so glad it went well.
Your judgment and skills saved his life.
You were amazing.
I was so happy...
If...
you hadn't...
knocked my head, I may have run away.
I was petrified...
I didn't know what to do.
Naoki?
Me, too.
Huh?
I...
was scared, too.
But you... were so confident.
That was for your benefit. Your mind went blank, right?
That was my first emergency case.
I'm surprised.
At what?
That you get scared, too.
I'm glad...
that the patient made it.
I'm glad you became a doctor.
Yeah.

- It is unprecedented... [Episode 14 - Stand Up For Love]
- for an intern to operate unsupervised. [Episode 14 - Stand Up For Love]
It was unthinkable when I was an intern.
It's unthinkable now.
Dr. Nishigaki is Dr. Irie's advisor.
Yes.
I understand Dr. Irie is a very capable intern.
But even still...
Luckily, this time...
the procedure was successful.
If something had gone wrong
the responsibility would have been too large for an individual to bear.
Once a precedent like this is set
we expose ourselves to great risk.
Confidence is not always good.
Right, Dr. Nishigaki?
If I had been Dr. Irie's medical advisor
this would have never happened.
In any case, this is not a simple problem we're dealing with.
Who will take responsibility?
What kind of problem is it?
I became a doctor to save patients' lives.
Hey!
Rules don't apply in this case.
The patient's life was in danger.
Dr. Nishigaki was performing another surgery.
I had to do it. That's all.
But you should have respected Dr. Nishigaki's...
His patient was in critical condition.
He needed to remain focused.
I was confident I could save the patient.
So I performed the procedure.
If someone needs to take responsibility...
you don't have to talk through my advisor.
You can talk directly to me.
What an ego this intern has!
Dr. Nishigaki.
What have you been teaching him?
In that case...
we'll have to let Dr. Irie take responsibility!
Naoki is an amazing doctor!
You're saying, "intern this" and "intern that"--
as if interns are helpless little chicks!
How impertinent!
Naoki's confidence is supported by his actions!
He may have broken some rules
but at that moment...
all Naoki cared about was saving a patient's life!
That patient is alive because of Naoki!
He still has a life ahead of him!
Doctors...
Doctors... are amazing.
Ms. Irie!
What did you do now?
I'm sorry, doctors!
This is preposterous.
Who is this girl, Nurse Shimizu?
She's out of line...
But doctors...
I also assisted Dr. Irie in the procedure.
I have assisted many surgeries.
Dr. Irie's work was that of a capable surgeon.
If not for him, that patient...
Nurse Shimizu...
The patient is recovering well.
That's all I wanted to report.
So...
Excuse us.
Let's go, Ms. Irie!
Huh? Uh... Excuse me.
So...
What do you think, Dr. Nishigaki?
Huh?
Well...
He may have acted rashly.
But...
There were many challenges that night.
That patient could have easily died.
But he survived.
So I cannot refute Dr. Irie's actions.
I wouldn't have done that as an intern, though.
I see.
Well...
Shall we leave it at that, doctors?
- But professor! - The precedent...
Dr. Irie.
I commend you on your judgment and skills at such a young age.
But a doctor and patient must trust each other.
Patients don't see interns as full doctors.
We must avoid making them feel insecure.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Okay! Then we're finished.
Dr. Nishigaki, please write up an incident report.
Huh...?
It's your responsibility as his advisor.
Yes.
My record was impeccable!
Now it's marred because of an overly-confident intern...
Shall I write the report for you?
Shut up!
Act more like a humble intern!
And write up the report!
No, wait! I'll do it!
They'll chew me out again...
Ow! Watch out...
Are you Konomi Sagawa?
Sorry to approach you like this...
Yes...
It's Konomi. Konomi!
Shhh!
What?
This guy wants to talk to you.
I go to West High School by the station.
I saw you walking by.
Right near here...
Who are those guys?
Shut up! Be quiet!
Oh... Sorry.
I see you on the train every day.
I think you're cute. You've been on my mind lately.
So...
Will you go out with me?
You go to Tonan High, right?
It's nearby.
Will you see me sometime?
I know he's my friend, but he's a really good guy.
But...
Hey, this is bad!
He's asking Konomi out! What are you going to do?
What am I going to...
Um... Do you...
Do you have a boyfriend?
- A boyfriend... - You're so cute.
You probably have a boyfriend, right?
A boyfriend?
Tell him! Tell him, Konomi!
Tell him you have a boyfriend named Yuki Irie!
Hey...
I don't have a boyfriend.
Yes!
So will you go out with him?
He's really nice.
Start off by texting!
But...
I'm sorry!
What?!
Really...
I'm sorry!
Wait! Just your number... or email address...
Konomi is so popular...
Right, Yuki...?
Yuki?
I'm going home.
Wait... Yuki!
First, you loop the yarn around and pull it tight.
Right... So pull it through.
That's it. Don't get it tangled.
Pull...
That's not exactly right...
Will I make it in time for Valentine's?
You can do it! Try again.
Oh!
Another knitting student for Valentine's Day...
She's here.
Yes. Come in!
Hello. Thanks for having me.
Come in, Konomi.
How is it going?
Pretty well...
Oh my gosh! I've only gotten this far.
Hello Yuki.
Thanks for having me.
What are you doing here?
Nothing...
She came to see you of course, Yuki.
So you came to see me, huh?
Yes...
Why are you acting like my girlfriend
when you're not?
Don't be so mean, Yuki!
Yeah! That sounds so mean!
Sorry...
You're right.
I'm not even your girlfriend and I come over all the time...
Who do I think I am?
This isn't right.
Sorry.
I'm going home.
Konomi!
I'm sorry!
Konomi?
Konomi!
What's going on? She was crying.
She was?!
Yes?
Are you busy, Naoki?
Hey.
What?
Well...
It's nothing really...
You're not on duty tonight?
No.
What are you studying?
Respiratory distress syndrome.
Sounds complicated.
Do doctors really...
What do you want?
Well... I wanted to...
ask you... Well...
What do you like about Kotoko?
I mean, she's not your type or anything.
So when did you start liking her?
What's going on?
Is it Konomi?
Huh? Oh...
No...
I never thought this day would come...
Well...
She kept saying, "I love you" as if it were a spell.
It was so annoying.
What?
But I started to get used to it.
When she said she was going to give up on me
I remember feeling mad.
I...
I'm going to give up on you.
I should have been relieved.
Kotoko...
can't do 90% of what I can do.
But she can do the 10%...
that I could never do in a hundred years.
Maybe it became a habit.
I don't know anymore...
How Konomi feels or how I feel.
I tutor her.
She drags me to movies and cafes...
I say it's annoying.
But I wonder if it really is.
When I saw another guy confess his feelings for her...
It infuriated me...
I said some harsh things to her.
Huh?
Oh... Sorry.
I just realized...
we really are brothers.
What about?
If you aren't sure, ask Konomi.
That's the simplest answer.
Sorry for bothering you...
Yuki.
I'll tell you the one thing that Kinnosuke taught me.
According to him...
it's called "jealousy".
Let me say this up front.
I wasn't waiting for you because it's Valentine's Day.
It just happened to be Valentine's Day today.
Then...
Why were you waiting for me?
Why...?
S... sorry!
Sorry about the other day!
But it was partly your fault, too.
My fault?
You said you didn't have a boyfriend.
To that guy who asked you out.
So I...
How did you know?
I happened to be passing by.
You always said that you liked me.
So...
But...
What can I do?
Huh?
I do like you. A lot.
That hasn't changed since middle school.
But no matter how much I like you...
as long as you don't like me back
I can't call you my boyfriend.
I feel like I'm threatening you.
I don't care if it's a one-way love...
Although it would be nice...
if you felt the same way...
Oh... this is perfect.
It's your Valentine's Day present.
How is it?
Good...
It suits you.
I... just...
Just?
That wasn't on a whim.
I like you.
I like you, Konomi.
So when other guys ask you out...
tell them you have a boyfriend!
Okay...
Okay!
Don't cry...
Tell me again.
What?
That you like me.
I can't repeat it so many times!
But it was only twice...
I said it twice!
It's not easy to say it twice!
Thank you.
I'm...
Hey.
You'll catch a cold sleeping here.
You're home, Naoki.
I guess I fell asleep.
I'm going to take a bath. Go to sleep.
Here. I made you some coffee.
Coffee? Before I go to sleep?
Help you with your nursing report?
Please...
Because...
I've rewritten it a dozen times, but they're so critical!
For once, I'd like to turn in a report that they don't tear apart!
I just need your advice!
Just the main points... Please?
Unbelievable...
Sit down.
Really?
Yay!
Thank you, Dr. Irie.
Take care.
Take care. Thank you.
You look tired.
Nurse Hosoi.
I'm a little sleep deprived.
I see...
That's your last patient for the afternoon.
Go get some rest.
You have another surgery this afternoon, right?
Yes. Thank you...
Kotoko is really shaping up lately.
I can tell by her report that she really studied hard.
Oh... I see...
Irie!
Irie! Where are you?
Come out, you idiot!
Hey, Irie!
Do you know Naoki Irie?
Kin-chan! Chris!
Kotoko!
Kotoko, where's Irie?
He's seeing a patient in there but...
What's going on? This is a hospital!
What is it, Kinnosuke?
Irie... I need your help. It's Chris...
Calm down. What's wrong?
Naoki...
I messed up.
Gauze.
Bandage.
Chris was splattered with hot oil?
Yeah...
She burned her leg in the kitchen.
I... My mind went blank.
I should have gone to the nearest hospital, but I ended up here.
I always give Irie a hard time
but when it came down to it, I could only think of him.
If anything happens to Chris... I...
Don't worry! You did the right thing.
Naoki is a miracle worker!
I hope you're right...
Chris!
Are you okay? Does it hurt?
A little...
Nurse Hosoi, she's my friend. I'll take her.
Go ahead, then.
Her husband can go in and speak to Dr. Irie.
Huh?
Her... husband?
So? How is Chris?
I'll explain in a minute.
Sit down, husband.
Her burns...
are pretty bad. They've penetrated the inner skin.
Oh...
She'll be in pain for a while.
She should be hospitalized until she's stable.
Oh...
Regarding scarring...
What?
There may be a little.
She may need cosmetic surgery...
Wait a minute...!
There may be scarring? Chris is an unmarried woman!
If her body is scarred... What if she can't get married?
But you're marrying her, right?
Huh...?
So what's the problem?
What are you saying?
Are you going to let another guy have her?
Are you kidding?
No way...
Huh?
I won't let that happen!
I'm not giving her to anyone!
I see.
Got a problem with it?
Then why don't you tell Chris?
I know...
Okay, take it easy, Chris.
Ready?
- Okay. - Okay.
Kotoko, you're a real nurse. I'm impressed.
Really?
And what about Kin-chan? He was so desperate.
I've never seen him like that.
He was more panicked than I was. He's so rash, sometimes...
I guess I can't talk...
He must think you're very special.
Really?
Yeah.
How is it, Chris?
See?
- Kinnosuke... - Does it hurt?
I'm fine. The painkillers are kicking in.
By the way, what did Irie say?
Oh... the pain will only last a couple of days.
What about scarring?
Huh?
Don't worry! I told Irie to take care of it.
I'll beat him up if he leaves a scar.
Kin-chan!
Don't worry about a thing.
Irie and Kotoko are here. I'll come every day, too.
Okay...
Kin-chan!
I gave Mr. Suzuki in Room 205 painkillers at 3:00 pm.
Please check on his pain level.
Okay.
I'll be going, then.
- Good night. - Good night.
I'm starving!
See you.
Good night.
Now for the night shift. It's not good for my skin.
Ms. Irie.
Nurse Hosoi. I'm going.
Good night.
Does Dr. Irie seem tired at home?
Naoki? Why?
He's had one major surgery after another.
I don't think he's getting much sleep.
The action plan is...
to discuss pain remedies with the doctor.
He had another emergency case right after his outpatient clinic.
Then he went into surgery without eating anything...
It's going to be another long one.
I know you're working, too but
please take care of Dr. Irie's health and nutrition.
A doctor's hours are never fixed.
It's both physically and mentally taxing.
You're a doctor's wife, after all.
Yes... Thank you.
She's right... I haven't done anything lately.
Mom does all the cooking and cleaning.
I ask him help me with my report instead of getting sleep.
Naoki... it's been six hours since the surgery began.
Okay!
Wow!
What is all this, Kotoko?
Naoki has a long surgery tonight.
I thought I'd bring him a nutritious meal.
Oh my!
How wonderful.
He'll be so happy.
I hope so.
Just wait, Naoki.
I made you lots of good food!
Naoki!
You just finished your surgery!
I wanted to bring you something nutritious...
that will give you stamina...
Ow...
Naoki...
Naoki?
Naoki!
No!
Naoki! Naoki!
Naoki!
Naoki, get up!
Subtitles provided by SPO Entertainment
It's my fault...
My goodness, Naoki.
You're so lame.
What happened to your triple flip landing?
I'll be your private nurse!
Don't try to find the spot with the needle already in!
- Ta-da! - Too much garlic in it!
- Ugh! - Can we talk?
How did you propose to Kotoko?
I decided to do it... in front of my family.
I knew she'd say yes. Did that help?
Hell no!
Will you break up with Naoki
and marry Kinnosuke?
