Kotoko, what are you going to do?
Next year, we're all going to look for jobs.
We need to start doing something.
I thought everyone was doing amazingly.
But I thought that,
I hadn't found anything that I wanted to do.
So do you think I 've been egoistic for hoping my son to,
take over my company?
Even though Naoki-kun doesn't want to,
you still have Yuki-kun
It'll be too late if we wait for Yuki to grow up
There's something that I would like to talk about.
I'm thinking of you as my company's official successor.
That's enough!
Not only my job,
but I also can't choose who I can love.
This is why I don't want to stay in this house.
The house where I get tied down!
Irie-kun!
I...
want to become a doctor.
Becoming a doctor was,
the first job that's interested me in my life.
Don't tell anyone, alright?
Such an important thing. Why'd he tell only me?
I really wanted,
to tell this to Naoki.
Actually...
Honey?
Honey!
Honey, are you okay? Naoki! Naoki!
It's an unstable angina.
I've already told him the result at the last routine exam.
He has never said anything about it.
Really?
I'd assume he didn't want you to worry, so he didn't tell you.
So, how's his condition?
He's okay?
His attack this time was mild.
But if he keeps pushing himself,
there's a possibility he'll have a myocardial infarction.
Oh, no...
We'll do everything to avoid that.
So he must be on bed rest and get treatment.
We'll see how it goes.
He needs to stop work completely.
Mrs. Irie, how's Iri-chan?
It looks like he's had a problem with his heart for a long time.
But he didn't show it at all to us.
I think he was pushing himself too hard.
Oh, no...
He'll be on absolute bed rest for awhile and then see how he does.
But he'll be okay if he's on bed rest, right?
So far, yes.
He was suffering so much.
I'd no idea what he was going through!
I'm...
a failure as a wife!
It's not your fault, Mrs. Irie.
Iri-chan's always had sense of responsibility.
I'm sure there's times he carried a burden by himself
and got stressed out.
Anyways, it's fortunate that this was no life-threatening situation.
But what about Dad's company?
What's going to happen to his company if he takes days off?
I'll do it.
But, Naoki.
You said you weren't sure if you wanted to take over the company.
I think,
Dad knew about the problem with his heart.
That's why he rushed and asked me,
to be his successor.
So,
I'm going to look after his company.
Thank you, Naoki!
But I'm the only one who knows,
that his real dream is,
to become a doctor.
He finally found his dream,
but does he have to give it up now?
♫ Have you noticed? I'm updating ♫
♫ Someday, ♫
♫ it' get to you ♫
♫ Where are the real feelings at? ♫
♫ I'm not avoiding or liking it ♫
♫ It's just worthless ♫
♫ I'm repeating the same thought, ♫
♫ again and again like this ♫
♫ It's okay even if it's the half of you ♫
♫ Share that with me ♫

Mischievious Kiss: Love in TOKYO
#13: A Mischief of Fate Irie is working at his father's company?
Irie-kun told the school he's taking a temporary leave.
He'll be focusing on the company,
until Mr. Irie gets better.
I see.
It sounds very serious.
But
Irie will have no problem doing it.-Yeah.
He's a genius after all!
That's right! I'm sure he was raised to
take over the company someday.
And how's Mr. Irie?
Kotoko? Kotoko?
Oh, ah. He'll stay at the hospital for a while and take absolute rest.
Irie-kun will come back to live with us again.
I'm sure he's relieved.
I see.
But a time like this
the distance between you and Irie might come closer.
Huh?
You see, when you are sick or in the hospital,
because you feel weak,
it's easier to fall in love.
But it's Mr. Irie who's in the hospital.
But Irie is also anxious.
If Irie-kun's feeling uneasy
and needs help,
if there's something I can do,
I would do anything.
Way to go, Kotoko.
But I don't want to think about the relationship between us right now.
Because Mr. Irie's sick
and his company is in trouble.
I'm happy Irie-kun's coming back to the house, but...
if Mr. Irie get's better,
and
Irie-kun starts going to school again,
and studies what he wants to,
I'm okay with him living away from me.
Wow. I know that's not what you want.
No.
You said it.
That's what I expect from Kotoko.
Kin-chan. What do you mean "You said it", Kin-chan?
You simply don't want Kotoko and Irie to get closer.
Shut up!
This is no time to joke around.
His family has a big problem.
It's Irie.
I can see him pretending to be tough.
But I'm sure he feels
lonely and anxious.
Kotoko, if there's something that you can do,
you should do it.
You're right.
If there's something I can do,
I'll help you with it.
So don't hesitate and just ask anytime.
Thank you, Kin-chan.
It's about time. I have to go.
Goodbye.
-See you.-Bye bye.
Hey, Kin-chan! What was that about?
What do you mean 'what'?
Could it be you gave up on Kotoko?
Are you stepping aside for Irie?
Don't be ridiculous!
I'm not talking about something so low-leveled.
It's like I'm sending
support to my enemy.
Irie's family's in trouble.
If I take advantage of this situation
and take Kotoko from them,
it'd make me less of a man.
After all, you and Kotoko,
are so similar.
Because what you just said,
is the same as what Kotoko said.
'I don't care about myself, but I want the person I love to be happy'.
That's true! You're like her!
You and Kotoko are,
actually a good couple.
But...
Just kidding.-What?
Kotoko can't love no one but Irie.-Yeah.
What?
Never mind.
What?
Please have some! Tonight we have stewed taro roots,
teriyaki yellowtail, miso soup, kidney beans with sesame seeds,
and I guess you can call this boiled tofu.
It's hot. It's hot!
Too spicy?-Yeah!
It can't be...
Why? Why's it? Why's it hot?
It's too spicy.
Naoki,
It's too spicy. You shouldn't eat it.
It's hot.
Naoki,
what was that sound?
The taro root.
Usually taro roots don't sound make that sound.
Undercooked!
Naoki, hurry and spit it out!
Don't force yourself to eat it. You shouldn't eat it.
Huh?-Huh?
Stop complaining and eat your food, Yuki.

Ah, Irie-kun.
Do you want some coffee?
Yes.
Um, Irie-kun.
Are you going to take over the company?
You told me before you wanted to be a doctor.
I don't want to run away.
I told you,
I've been undergoing many trials since I met you.
I never imagined my father would collapse.
But,
I decided that I wouldn't run away.
Irie-kun.
When his heart recovers, I'll go back to school.
It's not too late to do what I want after that.
I don't think it's a bad idea to learn the ropes now.
I see.
If there's anything I can do, please let me know.
Oh yes, coffee.
During the time the president's in the hospital, I'll be your aid.
My name is Kanamori.
Please.
Now , let me explain the materials that I gave to you the other day.
You don't have to. I looked at them all last night.
You read all them by yourself?
Did the company's performance decline significantly from last year?
Yes.
This is the inventory list of our most popular product.
Sales have dropped drastically.
Our rival company's similar product's taking our customers away.
The president was also concerned about this matter.
At this rate, Pandai may have to go through with a merger.
We immediately need an enormous amount of financial support.
No wonder his heart became weak.
Okay.
Irie-kun's working hard.
I'm going to work hard making his lunches and doing house chores.
Alright!
It feels, kind of like we're a newlywed couple.
'Fight with love'.
H or G, which comes first?
Oh well, it's okay.
Heart, heart.
Love, love, heart.
G should come before H.
Welcome home!
Would you like to take a bath first, or do you want to eat first?
Oh, your jacket!
Breathe in, please.
Breathe out, please.
Hey, Irie-kun, Irie-kun.
Your brief case.
Have a good day. Good luck!
We are going to try to gain the profit from the copyrights strike of all the stokes.
For the production of the animation, we will have the self-motivation and acquire its copyrights.
Our unique business style's to take a partnership with overseas companies.
Do you know that too much miso makes the soup too salty?
So salty.
But today's taro roots are pretty good.
I'm sorry, Senpai.
Request to temporarily leave the clubI see.
Irie's father's still not doing well?
No. That's why I can't spend much time at school.
Understood.
You and Irie are both precious tennis club members.
When Mr. Irie's better, you have to come back. We'll be waiting for you.
Thank you very much, Sudo-san senpai.
It is not only you, Aihara. We're all worried about Irie.
There are girls who miss him,
Like Matsumoto Ayako.-Leader!
I'm sorry I'm late. I'm not coming to the practice today.
Huh? New members aren't allowed to miss a practice without permission!
That is why I'm here to tell you.
Today I have a date with my boyfriend, Taketo-kun.
BOYFRIEND?!
When did this happen?
I'm sorry. I'm going to borrow Ayako.
Kotoko-san, I heard about Naoki-san's father.
Please tell him I'm rooting for him. Goodbye.
Didn't she declare that she was going to win Irie's heart?
How'd she change so quickly?
Oh, she must be part of the new breed of Japanese kids. She must be.
What are you talking about?-What?
Do you know 'Now Young'?
'Now Young'? You've totally lost me.
Oh, sorry, Kotoko-san.
Can we talk far a bit?
Um.. how is Irie-kun?
He is busy working at the company.
He usually comes home after midnight.
Well, I'm always up waiting for him.
So it means that there is a chance that he will quit school and run the company.
Well, he is just taking a leave from school for a little bit. He will come back eventually.
I wonder.
There is no need for him to go back to school, if he is running his dad's company.
But...
When his heart is better, I will go back to school.
It won't be too late to do what I want.
I don't think it's bad to learn the ropes now.
Irie-kun,
wants to go back to school.
What I'm saying is that even if he want to go back to school, reality won't let him do that.
Oh!
Hey, why won't you liberate (let him free) from your lunch boxes?
You are turning his lunch time into hell.
How did you know that I'm making him lunch boxes?
I know you.
I'm pretty sure nothing happen between you two.
Um..well, no..well
Goodbye.
I'm home.
Ah! Welcome back!
Mom!
It's great to be at home.
There are visitors and checkups all day long. It's so tiring.
What? He can have visitors now?
The doctor recommended for him to take it easy.
He only let co-workers/work related visit him.
I have good news.
I looks like he can come next month!
Really?
I'm so glad.
It depends on the results of the detailed exam.
But his condition is very stable. We will try to bring him home.
I think Daddy will be more relaxed at home than at the hospital.
I'm sure.
We have caused you trouble a bit, Kotoko-chan.
No problem. You should watch out for yourself, Mrs. Irie.
Thank you [for your concern].
Now, I will get him clean clothes and head back to the hospital.
Yes!
-Yuki, be a good boy, okay?-Okay.
This is good.
When Mr. Irie comes back from the hospital, Irie-kun can return to school.
He will be able to study and pursue his dream as a doctor.
Thanks to everyone's support, he will be going home next month.
That's good to hear.
Well, Naoki-san is amazing. He has done very well taking his dad's place.
It's hard to believe he is still in college.
You are so dependable, Naoki!
Naoki-chan?
How strange. I don't think there is any visitor besides us today.
- I see. I see.- Dad!
You should be resting.
Chairman Oizumi!
I was nearby and decided to stop by.
Naoki-san, this is Hokueisha's Chairman Oizumi and his secretary, Mr. Yokoyama.
I'm sorry for not introducing myself sooner.
I am Irie Naoki.
Irie?
Oh, Chairman, I'm sorry for being rude.
This is my son, Naoki. He is currently getting trained at my company.
He seem like a very dependable young man.
Chairman, since everyone is here, we should talk about the plan.
President Irie, we would like to discuss
in investing your company.
Yokoyama, we are in the hospital.
Oh, I'm sorry for being rude.
But I thought that his son and Mr. Kanamori should listen to it, too.
Oh! Sure, of course.
Honey, can you hand me those papers over there?
But...
I hate to be rude, but I have to ask you to leave for today.
Naoki, Chairman Oizumi came all the way here to see me.
I'm sorry, but my dad needs to rest.
He is not in the condition to work.
Chairman.
In that case, we should reconsider the investment plan.
Chairman.
On my dad's behalf,I would like to discuss the investment plan with you.
You have been very rude. A youngster like you - - -
Right now, I am the acting president!!
I would like to visit your company tomorrow.
So I would like to ask you to leave for today.
It's not good for my dad's health.
Hey, Naoki.
Please leave everything to me while you are still a patient.
I came to wish you a fast recovery, but it seems like I was being a nuisance.
Well then, please excuse us, Irie-kun.
You took your time to visit me, I'm sorry you have to leave.
Yokoyama, what is my schedule tomorrow?
Yes?
I'm asking you when will I be available tomorrow?
Well, before the lunch with the minister, you are available from 11am to noon.
So how is it? What do you say?
Thank you very much. I will be there tomorrow at 11 o' clock.
He made Chairman Oizumi make time for him.
Naoki-san is incredible.
Yes, he is.
This never happens.
For these reasons, I can promise you will have enough profit for your company.
What do you think, Yokoyama?
For a student who has no experience, but learned management from lectures,
the presentation was well done.
Excuse me, but I am in the science and engineering department.
I taught myself management.
I see. But you aren't planning on becoming a successor of Pandai?
Why are you in the science and engineeing department?
It's because I wanted to have a broad and diverse range of knowledge.
I don't think a person with a narrow range of knowledgecan survive in this world.
Excuse me.
Are you alright?
Yes.
Please be careful.
Naoki, I know you're busy. I'm sorry for calling you to leave work.
More importantly, you said there is something urgent to tell me?
It's because I didn't want Yuki to hear this.
Welcome back! You are late again., I will heat up dinner right away
You are late again. I will heat up dinner right away.
You don't need to.
Did you have dinner already?
I don't have appetite.
Irie-kun
here, a bento
Oh, thanks.
Um, you seem a little tired.
Are you okay?
Irie-kun?
I was just thinking to myself.
I'm leaving now.
Take care.
Naoki...
I wonder if he's alright.
Here.
It looks delicious!
Of course, our Boss made it.
'Cause he thought it must be a pain cooking every day.
Thank you.
That was thoughtful.
You should thank our Boss instead.
Um, Kotoko...
So you're not going to university now, huh?
No.
Well, is that okay?
I was the one that decided to go to university, so I want to study really hard until I graduate, but...
Now, I just want to be of service to the Irie family.
You said, Irie family?
I-ri-e, yeah?
I...
know you.
Well, there's also somethings I should not know, though.
Kin-chan
Well, if there's something you want to do,
I'll be your supporter.
Don't keep things to yourself.Tell me if you need my help.
Not just cooking, problems with class, anything!
Thank you, Kin-chan
But um...
I can't write a report for you.
Because if I did that sort of thing, You'd...
become a dropout.
Oh come on...
Subtitles brought to you by Mischievous Kisser Team @Viki
Isn't today's dinner delicious?
This was probably made by Kototo's dad.
You caught me.
How could you think that you won't get caught?
The skill levels are way too different.
Excuse me, I did try my best at least.
Can't you just appreciate my work once?
Thank you.
You're always full of whiny comments.
What?
You've gotten better.
Thank you for the meal.
Irie-kun is late, now.
Irie-kun!
Oh, it's just Sudo-san.
Hello.
Oh, Aihara.
There is a big problem.
What happened?
I want to tell Matsumoto that I like her...
What?
Did you finally tell her the truth?
No,
I was just about to.
Oh, is that so?
Please don't call me just to tell me about an insignificant thing.
No, no, no, after that she said,
she has already loved someone else.
I'm know that she would say that.
We all knew that she likes Irie-kun,
so I thought you already knew about that.
No, that's not what I meant.I do know that she loves him.
She said she that was going
to confess her love to Irie.
Of course if she loves someone, she have to confess her feeling for him.
What?
Matsumoto-san is going to confess her loves to Irie-kun?
When... when will she do it?
Tonight.
Tonight?
Where and when is Matsumoto-san will confess to Irie-kun?
Don't tell me that she told him already?
No!!!

I'm sorry for waiting for you at this place.
You must have been waiting here for a long time.
If you wanted to tell me something, you could have gone to my house instead.
I didn't want to do so.
I just wanted to only tell you.
You're in a difficult situation, right now,
and I know I'm being selfish.
Even so . . .
What is it?
I think I love you, Irie-kun.
You see?
I said it to you straight.
So,
I also want you to tell me straight about your feeling too.
What do you think about me?
Sorry.
I only think of you as a friend.
I really love you, Irie-kun.
I've never felt this way before.
So...
I can't give up like this.
Are you satisfied now?
I'm sorry,but I can't think of doing something like that with you.
Why you don't want to do it with me?
Then,
who would you kiss?
I've kissed someone.
I've kissed Kotoko.
I feel insulted by this.
My pride is torn apart.
But, I hope that your father will get better soon.
But that kiss... was happened more than a year ago.
Why would he say it now?
Hey.
Stop spying on my love life.
Sorry.
I was just worried about you because you were late.
Irie-kun?
Subtitles brought to you by Mischievous Kisser Team @Viki
My father is really not doing well.
What?
Today,
I went to ask the doctor with my mom.
It looks like his condition kinda stable now.
However, the result of the detailed exam was,
they found it only in his heart.
When they're ready,
he's going to have the surgery.
Is the surgery going to be difficult?
It's his heart.
Even if the surgery is successful,
he still can't go to work for a while.
I see.
I think the disease is caused by stress and concern.
Because of the depression,
the company has gotten worse.
That's why,
he wanted me to take over his company whenever possible.
I've thought of you as my,
company's official successor.
At this time, Pandai might need to go through with a merger.
If I would take over the company,
all of the issues will be solved.
But, isn't your dream is to become a doctor?
Yeah, It's not that long yet since I had that dream.
I...
wanted to become a doctor.
But, I'm not sure if it would suit me,
but I want to study properly.
So you will give up your dream?
Irie-kun.
For me, to be a doctor,
was the first job that interested me since I was born.
Irie-kun, today felt depressed.
Before I knew it, I was hugging Irie-kun.
But,
he didn't refuse my hands.
At this time,
I felt like my heart and Irie-kun's hearts are connecting.
Irie-kun,
here is your lunch box.
I'm confident with the rolled egg, today.
I've heard that leeks makes you getting smarter.
I've heard that leek makes you getting smarter.
In that case, you should eat it yourself.
Have a nice day!
In spite of that.
I'm so glad that you came to visit our company today, Chairman.
- Thank you for coming.- Well, well...
It because I had affairs to take care of in this area.
Are you here by yourself?
I came here to discuss with you the personal matter, Naoki-kun.
Discuss with me?
Naoki-kun,
would you like to have an arranged marriage meeting?
I know it's not the best time for you since your father is still in the hospital, right now.
But I have a granddaughter.
She is the same age as you,
she also goes to Seishin Women's College.
That is a real prominent school.
What do you think, Naoki-kun?
Would you at least meet her once?
You're still young.
I'm sure that you need more time to consider.
After discussing it with your parents,
please tell me your answer as soon as possible.
We will talk about it again,
in the next investment plan.
I'm sorry for visiting without any notice.
Please don't apologize.
Well, Naoki-kun.
Please think about this carefully.
Okay.
Thank you very much.
Naoki-san.
This meeting will,
be a perfect chance for our company, right?
Our fate is about to,
grow more special.
Subtitles brought to you by Mischievous Kisser Team @Viki
You're really having an arranged marriage meeting?
Right, I like her.
Do you remember me?
I would never forget such a beautiful woman.
I have a perfect idea.How about you go and ruin the meeting?
For the first time, I would like to join your plan.
This is not like what you though.
An arranged meeting is between parents.
I will take away Kotoko from you.
Just do whatever you want.
The person that you love is,
Kotoko, right, brother?
But I'm sure that everything will work out well.
