Irie-kun, is it true you're going to have an arranged marriage meeting?
The girl's a granddaughter of the chairman of a company named Hokueisha.
'Ruin the meeting' huh?
Sahoko-san wants to move forward.
What?
I felt like the distance between Irie-kun and I, shortened.
That's why, I can't accept the reality yet.
Kotoko's a precious person to me
You've been toying with her feelings. How can I keep my mouth shut?
The what are you going to do?
I'll take Kotoko away from you.
No, I'll protect her.-Do what you want.
Next Sunday,
do you want to go out with me?
Sure, let's go out. Just the two of us.
Irie-kun and I
are about to start walking different paths.
Further down those paths,
I wonder what future awaits us.
Good morning.
Kotoko-chan's on a date today.
Date?
She's dressed up very nice and went out.
So please don't bother us.
I'm sure you understand since you have a girl you want to marry.
Just as she's very precious to you,
Kotoko's very precious to me.
I can not stand seeing Kotoko
suffer so much
The guy must have bad taste.
Naoki, are you really sure about this?
Naoki!
I'm sorry,
but I have to read some documents for the meeting Monday.
Oh, dear.

That was so fun!
The scene where the car speeds by was amazing!
It was exhilarating!
Alright! Today all of your stress will disappear.
Do you want to go to the arcade?
I do! I do! I do!
I want to go!-Let's go!
Now we have no choice but to dance! Dance, Kotoko!
I'm going.-I'm taking off.
There's something. See, there's something.
Go, Kin-chan!
Alright.-Yes.
This is good!
One more!
The time I spent with Kin-chan was,
more fun than I'd expected.
For a little while,
I could forget about Irie-kun,
while I was on this date.

Mischievious Kiss: Love in TOKYO
-You had a date with Kin-chan? -Yes.
Episode 15: Goodbye Irie-kun
Kin-chan and I have been friends since high school.
Yet, come to think of it, it was the first time I went out with him alone.
So then, so then how was the date?
Kin-chan, after all, wasn't good enough, huh.
It not like that.
It was actually more fun than I thought it'd be.
Time flew by so quickly.
And?
It was fun today. Thank you.
I haven't felt this refreshed in a long time.
See you later.
Kotoko!
Will you,
go out with me again?
I'll find a place where you can have fun again.
Don't take it too seriously. Just think that you want togo out to relieve some stress,
and I happen to be the with you.
Sure.
Let's go on another date, Kin-chan.
Okay.
What?
-Kotoko-Kotoko
Actually...
we promised to have another date.
Huh!? Is this a twist?
It is a big reversal?
It's not like that, but...
It doesn't matter if it's a date or party...
Sit down, sit down! Kotoko-chan.
If you could forget about the heartless Irie...
even for a split second and enjoy your life, it's good.
Satomi.
You don't have to rush to find a boyfriend.
Don't rush to tell him your answer.
Right now, you should just have fun with whoever is available
even if it's Kin-chan.
That's right. If it cheers you up, that's all that matters.
But isn't that rude to Kin-chan?
You know what?If you think that way,
even the slightest bit...
that means you must love Kin-chan.
It's so true!
You care about him more than you care about yourself.
It's nothing but your love for him.
So do you love Kin-chan?
I don't know about that, but...
Kin-chan is...
such a nice person.
Hey!
You just realized that?
It was a great performance.
Yes.
I really like Stravinsky.
It's very like you, Naoki-san
Because Stravinsky
changes his style depending on the work.
His nickname is Chameleon.
You are mysterious like his music.
I think that is your charm.
You are overrating me.
But I was upset
because the person right front of us...
he fell asleep right after the performance started.
He was swaying his head as he drifted off.
And he even had such good seats.
What is it, Noaki-san?
Oh, it's nothing.
Well, let's go.
The restaurant that we're going today plays opera music.
Do you like opera?
Of course.
I would like to listen to Tristan.
Tristan sounds good.
I'm home.
Naoki, you are late.
I told you that I would be late because I was going to a concert with Sahoko-san.
You did, but how long were you listening to music?
I also told you that I wouldn't need food because I was going to have dinner after the concert.
Naoki,
you haven't done anything physical with her ?
What do you mean "anything physical" ?
I'm not in junior high, you know.
We are dating while considering marriage in the future.
The rest is up to your imagination.
But I haven't given you permission for that.
Dad said it, too. That I should decide who to marry on my own.
You were seen nodding then.
I did...
but I though he meant Kotoko-chan.- Anyway,
I will not hesitate to make my own decision about my marriage.
Geez.
Hi, I'm home.
You too, Kotoko-chan. It's so late.
Did you also have a date?
Also? Irie-kun had one?
We went to a concert.
Oh, I see.
I didn't have a date.
Mrs. Irie, actually, starting today, I am helping at my father's restaurant.
Helping at his restaurant?
Are you going to be a chef?
Of course not. That is impossible.
That's relief. This means less people getting sick.
I can't help with cooking, but
I thought I could wait tables.
So I'm trying to learn.
Kin-chan is at the restaurant, so he can teach me.
So it was like a date after all.
I don't mix up my love life and work life like someone does.
There is such a person.
How dare you?!
You better apologize to Kin-chan.
See?
- I was right.- Even if you are right, it's none your business.
True.
I have no interest in your love life to begin with.
Please, you two. Oh my...
you are arguing like a married couple.
a married couple.
No, we are not.
I don't need dinner tomorrow again.
You're going on another date?
It's not your concern. Good night.
Kotoko-chan.
I have to go too, because I need to prepare for tomorrow's classes.
I'll go.
Also, I won't need dinner either since I will eat at the restaurant from now on.
Good night.
This is not going well, Dad (Honey).
Naoki is steadily moving toward marrying Sahoko-san.
And it seems like Kotoko-chan
has been going on dates with the young chef, Kin-chan.
And not only that , she helps out at the restaurant.
The distance between her and that boy is getting closer and closer.
About that... Kanamori called me yesterday and said...
Chairman Oizumi
wants to set the date or their
engagement ceremony as soon as I leave the hospital.
Great. At this rate, you might be able to go home.
- Really?- Yes.
You did a great job.
It's because you did a good job for my surgery, Doctor.
Thank you.
But your dream is to become a doctor, isn't it ?
It's hasn't been long since I had that dream.
So you're going to give up?
What did you want to tell me?
Ah...
You know that I will be discharged this weekend, don't you?
Yes.
Actually my heart isn't in a good condition.
I'll eventually need surgery.
I know, even if you try to hide it.
Just as I can you, I can tell what your mother thinks by looking at her face.
However, before I have the surgery, I will go back to the company.
I'm going to fix
all of the company's problems on my own. Then I will have a surgery.
Yet
if you go back to work, your heart will be under stress again.
Even so,
I can't let you marry someone you don't love.
Someone I don't love?
Don't just assume that.
Naoki.
You are my son.
More than my company or anything...
your happiness is the most important to me.
- That's why - - -- You don't have to tell me!
I decide my own life choices.
So don't think about
unnecessary things, Dad.
And please focus on getting better.
Kotoko, can you bring this to table 3?
Yes.
I'll clean this for you, so just bring the food.
Thank you, Kin-chan.
They are great together.
Everyone, Dad is home!
I'm home...
Yuki.
- Dad, congratulations on coming home.- Thank you.
Here we go!
- Oji-sama!- Iri-chan!- Honey!
Just kidding! Just kidding! Just kidding!
I'm feeling very well.
I'm back completely.
- Please don't tease us, honey.- Sorry, sorry.
Madam, this only shows that Iri-chan is all better now.
Let's celebrate today!
Thank you!
Go, go.
J, O, B, now everybody...
Thank you for waiting.
Everything looks very good.
These are all foods that you like, Iri-chan.
I'm so happy. The food at the hospital had no taste.
You are not back completely yet.
You should avoid alcohol, cigarettes, greasy and sweet food.
Oh, please.
Don't you know how much I had to endure with the hospital food?
That's not the point.
Here, here. Naoki is right.
Honey, you have to take it easy.
Let's celebrate your discharge from the hospital.
- Raise your glasses.- Yes.
Can we have a word from you?
It was all so sudden
that I had to stay at the hospital. I'm sorry that I made you worry and gave you trouble.
But thanks to everyone, I'm better now and I could leave the hospital.
I really thank you.
Cheers!
Please have some food.
Alright. I'll have some of Ai-chan's food.
Thank you for the food.
Meat, meat, meat!
Some fish.
Eat!
What's with this, come here.
This looks yummy.
After all, my home is the best.
It's so great
to have food with the family, isn't it?
I feel so relaxed being with only family members.
Huh? I think someone is here.
Strange. We're having a family meal today. I didn't invite anyone else.
No, I invited them.
Who'd he invite?
I've got bad feeling about this.
Chairman Oizumi.
Well, well Irie-kun. Congrats on coming home.
Right, Naoki-kun invited us for today's party. So we came to celebrate.
Thank you all for coming all the way here.
I really appreciate it.
We're happy to be here.
Naoki! I told you today's celebration was only for family.
That's why I invited them.
Father.
This is Oizumi Sahoko-san..
Nice to meet you.
Please sit down here. Kotoko move.
Please have a seat.-Thank you.
Excuse me.
This is my wife... oh, you've already met my wife.
This is Naoki's younger brother, Yuki.
Nice to meet you.
Mr. Irie.-Yes?
Congratulations on coming home from the hospital.
This is a little something.
What's this?
Wow!
Wow, this is great.
Here.
Mmmm, delicious. You made all this, Sahoko-san?
I hope you like it.
Who wouldn't? It's very simple, but the flavors are spot on.
It's sharp but also rich. This is more than just delicious.
Honey, stop exaggerating so much. We already had food from professional chef, Aihara-san.
Ah...
Could it be that you made this without any animal oil and sugar?
Yes, because I heard that Mr. Irie has a heart problem.
It tastes so good that I can hardly tell.
I'm very impressed.
Chairman. This gentleman over here owns a Japanese restaurant.
His restaurant's very popular.
Oh, really?
I'm embarrassed to have a professional taste my food.
Don't be. I wish you could help out at my restaurant.
You used sweet sake instead of sugar for this dish?
Yes, it's as you thought.
Where did you learn to cook professionally?
I just learned from my mother.
Really? Your mom's cooking skills must be like a professional's.
I'm learning a lot from this.
Amazing. It's so yummy!
Isn't it?
So, are you Irie-kun's best friend?
I'm sorry that I didn't introduce myself sooner. I'm Aihara.
Please forgive us for being rude and attending your family party.
And this lady here's the one who lives with you?
Nice to meet you. I'm Aihara Kotoko.
I see.
I'm sorry. It's just that I've heard Mrs. Irie really likes her.
So I was very curious.
Grandfather, it's rude to stare at Kotoko-san like that.
I apologize.
It's because you're so cute,
that I couldn't help but stare.
I'm very flattered.
Um, Kotoko-san. Can we go outside and talk for a bit?
I've been hoping to talk to you.
I'm so sorry that my grandfather was being rude to you.
Don't worry. It didn't bother me.
To be honest, my grandfather and I...
are jealous of you.
What? Of me?
-Because you've lived with Naoki-san for more than two years. -Well, Yes...
And Naoki-san's mother likes you, too.
That's why we are envious of you, Kotoko-san.
Hey...
Sahoko-san,
why do you like Irie-kun?
The day my grandfather told me to come to his company...
to tell me something important.
Actually it was about the arranged marriage meeting with Naoki-san.
Are you okay?
He was a gentleman and kind...
I fell in love with him at first sight.
But I had never thought that the man was Naoki-san.
So when I met him again at the meeting, I was really suprised.
I thought it was fate.
I, too, fell in love with Irie-kun at first sight.
I had a one-way love for two years since then.
And we happened to live in the same house.
But I never had the chance to feel that was fate.
The time passed by without making any progress in our relationship.
I wish I met him in the way that you did.
You wish you met him?
Oh no, I hope I will meet someone...
Actually, I was going to refuse the arranged marriage.
I thought it was too early since I was still in college.
But my grandfather told me to at least meet him. He made me attend the meeting.
Despite all of that... I had never expected this would happen.
Life is very strange, isn't it?
You are right.
But...
I'm scared.
Why?
The more Naoki-san is kind to me...
I feel like the true Naoki-san is moving further and further away.
I feel like I can't tell what he is really thinking.
I lose my confidence.
It's strange, isn't it?
I think...
-It happens because you really love Irie-kun. -What?
It's not strange at all. When you love someone wouldn't you feel that way?
Even though you're determined not to give up...
you would lose your confidence over little things.
You are beautiful and quiet. If a perfect woman like you feels that way...
regular girls would feel that way even more.
Yet, if he is kind to you just a little bit...
you are overjoyed and hope
for something more to happen.
You become the happiest person in the whole world.
However,
when he is cold to you again...
you get scared, thinking he hates you.
It's a never-ending circle.
You think you will try to do your best. But your feelings always go up and down.
Kotoko-san,
You have loved someone too.
No, that's not it...
Nevertheless,
I know... Irie-kun
truly loves you,
Sahoko-san.
I can tell he is madly in love with you.
How can you be so sure?
I don't know why.
I can't really answer that.
But I think so.
So please rest assured.
Thank you for having us.
Irie-kun, make sure that you don't work too hard.
Yes.
I will visit you before anything after I get back to work.
Don't forget the engagement ceremony before that. Right, Naoki-kun and Sahoko?
Yes,
I appreciate your help.
Well then, Irie-kun,
We will talk about the schedule later.
Yes.
Thank you so much for coming all the way here.
Let's get going, Sahoko.
I would like to walk with Naoki-san for a little bit.
Do you mind, Naoki-kun?
Not at all. I'll make sure she arrives home safe.
Please take good of her then.
Well then.
Good night.
Should we go?
Yes.
I'm so tired. I will throw some salt to purify the house.
Honey, don't say that.
But are you sure about this, Honey?
Naoki made the decision. We can't help it.
Kotoko-chan, let's finish it tomorrow.
You must be tired.
Somehow I'm wide awake. I will just finish washing the dishes.
You must be tired since it was a very busy day.
Please go to sleep.
But I feel bad.
I'm fine. There is only a little bit left.
Kotoko-chan.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I kept telling you that we were going to have you marry into our family.
Yet this happened.
I was trying to root for you two.
However, I ended up hurting your feelings.
I feel really awful for what happened.
It's not your fault, Mrs. Irie.
I still can't give up on you, Kotoko-chan.
Thank you very much.
I'm extremely happy...
that you are thinking of me like that.
I think of you as my real mother.
I have been and I always will.
No matter who Irie-kun marries.
Kotoko-chan...
truly, I . . .
I'm home.
You're late, aren't you?
Where are my parents? Are they in bed?
I see.
Night.
Hey.
Sahoko-san is really a wonderful person.
She is beautiful, isn't she? Her cooking is amazing, too.
Not only that...
After talking with her, I can tell she really likes you.
Someone like her likes you.It's only natural for you to like her back.
You should find a good guy soon.
Good morning!
Oh, morning.
Is it only you here?
Where is Kin and Odawara?
Yeah, I sent them to grocery shopping.
Is that right?
Then I'll clean up.
Hey, Kotoko, can I talk to you?
Before work, I have something to tell you.
What is it, Dad?
We... should move out from the Irie house.
You saw it yesterday, too.
Naoki really means to get married.
If that happens, it's weird for us to stay there.
The Oizumi family wouldn't like it, either.
In this way, we can't make an end and settle things down.
So let's find a new place and move out.
I don't care anymore if it's old or not large enough.
Right? We should do that.
I understand how painful it must be for you.
I must be very uncool, huh.
No matter how much I'm hurt, I decided by myself not to give up on my feelings for Irie-kun.
Despite this,
It's also important to know when to stop.
It's a chance for you that Naoki will think of you as a good woman, right?
Hurry and forget about Naoki.
How many shooting stars have I been praying to?
But anymore...
I have to stop it.
Mom, don't make that face.
It's over my limit that Naoki's going to exchange wedding gifts.
It's the worst day of my life.
Mom...
I'm not trying to you make you depressed, but there will be a wedding ceremony and a reception party.
No, stop it, Dad! I feel like I'm going to cry.
Oh, sorry, sorry.
Let's go, Father, Mother.
Okay, let's go.
Mother.
Yes, yes.
Boo!
You've waited long, Kotoko!
Good morning, Kin-chan.
-Good morning~-Good morning.
Then should we go?
Then let's start.
Please treasure it for long.
Will do.
I'll treasure it for long.
Will do.
I'll treasure it for long.
What do you feel like eating now?
Hm...
What do you feel like?
-Okonomiyaki.-Mine?-It's been quite long to eat Kin-chan's.
How about a Takoyaki place I know?
About now, Irie is...
Kotoko.
Are you okay?
What about?
Hey, where are we going today? I want to go to the game center again.
Actually there's stuffed animal that I want you to get for me.
It's really cute with a red hat and there's tiny cherry attached to the hat...
Will you marry me?
What?
Will you get married with me?
How did you know about this (that I like) ?
I told you.
I know everything about you.
Aihara Kotoko-san,
please marry me!!!
