Good morning!
Morning.
Oh? Aren't you all here early?
You all seem different today.
What?
Why are you all wearing a dress uniform?
- Why? For no reason, right? - Right.
You always say it's easier to move around in pants.
Who said such a thing?
Nurses in uniform should be in a dress.
Good morning.
Mihara, everyone is acting weird.
What's the matter?
Is this a dream?
Tetsuya Hamanaka's name was on the list of patients to be admitted.
Tetsuya Hamanaka? You mean that handsome actor Hamatetsu?
That's the one. He's going to be admitted here today.
That's what's going on!
Why didn't you tell me?
You're fine, Tachibana. You're always wearing a dress.
That's not the point.
Hamatetsu must be cute.
I can't wait to get his pulse.
I definitely want to assist him in bathing.
He's being admitted for internal haemorrhoids,
so he won't need assistance bathing.
What? Look at you, Mihara!
You are really making an effort.
No, I was just in that kind of mood today.
I wonder.
What's going on? You are so chatty in the morning.
You are all carried away because of a celebrity? How shameful.
Yes.
Chief is the same as usual.
Hey, everyone! You have too much lip gloss on. Take it off.
Don't be such a spoilsport!
No! A nurse's make-up should look clean.
Yes.
My seniors are being scolded...
Morning, everyone.
Good morning.
Let's start with the reporting.
Head Nurse, who is in charge of the patient being admitted today?
Has it been decided already?
Why are you so concerned about it?
The person in charge of Mr Tetsuya Hamanaka being admitted today is...
ls...
Mihara and Tachibana.
I got it.
I lost.
It's not that you lost.
Oh, I think Mr Hamanaka is here.
Hello, I'm Hamanaka.
You are Mr Tetsuya Hamanaka?
Yes.
You have the same name!
Hey! Hey!
What's going on, everyone? We've been expecting you.
We will take you to your room immediately.
Thank you.
You rise at 6:00, and lights are out at 9:00 at night.
It's quite early.
They heard about Hamatetsu somewhere.
They are well informed.
I'm sorry. I'm disturbing you all because of my name.
Oh, not at all. We apologise.
I'm used to it.
It's always like this at hospitals and banks.
I'm sure.
Hello!
Excuse me!
I'm sorry, but I am your biggest fan.
Could I possibly...
get your autograph?
Oh? Where's Hamatetsu?
This is Mr Tetsuya Hamanaka.
Hello.
- What? - Yes?
Mihara, you are also...
wearing a dress.
That's nice! Nurses' uniforms should be like this!
Ah, yes.
Excuse me.
Is Head Nurse Honjo here?
Um, well...
Tachibana, it's okay.
How are you?
Fine, thanks. I need the Head Nurse's seal here.
Head Nurse is not here right now.
I see.
That person seems really friendly with Fujii.
Of course. Nishino in the administrative office...
is Yukino's boyfriend.
Boyfriend?
Too loud!
So that's her boyfriend.
I'm sorry.
But she was at a dating party the other day.
She set that up for me to make it exciting.
Yukino is actually simple-minded.
Is that so?
You look good.
You think so?
See you.
Hey, hey, he)”
What are you two lovebirds doing!
Oh, stop that!
Everyone knows that those two are dating?
Rumours travel fast at a hospital.
You can't keep any secrets because it all comes out.
Right! What doctor is dating which nurse,
everyone knows all the love affairs.
It's like being reported.
Reporting? Scary!
Is there a lot of dating within the hospital?
Well, it is hard for a nurse to meet someone too.
So, Seiko,
why are you joining in the girls' love talk?
- Hey, hey, hey! - That's true.
Do you have someone?
- No, I don't. - Love within the hospital...
Aren't you popular?
So you are not popular?
Spring is the time for love.
Maybe I'll have a chance too.
What are you smirking about?
Nothing.
Oh, are you around tonight, Tachibana?
What? Am I available tonight?
You are asking me that in broad daylight?
This is a hospital, you know!
If you aren't careful, we'll be reported.
I forgot that my friend gave me movie tickets,
and today is the last day.
Would you like to go?
A movie? Just the two of us?
Yes, I have two tickets.
We just went to a Korean BBQ,
and we are going to a movie too?
This is not just going on a date. We're in a relationship!
I guess it's too sudden?
I can go if you want me to.
Yeah.
I can't wait.
What kind of movie is it?
"Imagination Love" It says "Love," so a love story?
A love story?
He said he got it from a friend, but he definitely bought it himself!
Hey, hey, he)”
Let's go. It's about to start.
He's being shy!
This is so delicious!
This place is great!
- Oh, yeah? - Yes.
We always go to Nasumama, so I figured a change would be nice.
Yum! This is delicious too!
It's becoming a routine to have dinner together.
Be we always went out to eat together
so I could talk and gripe to you about work and stuff.
But those were dinners between supervisor and employee, right?
Now it's slightly different.
I want it to be different.
Did you say something? Hold on one second, please.
Yes?
This is Otsuka from Enmusubi!
Yes, is there something?
Mihara, you don't have a date set for your next meeting.
I'm sorry. I've been busy.
You are 34. You have no time to say such a thing!
You need to hurry!
Once you turn 35, the terms will drop drastically!
Right.
Please pick from the candidates
I sent you the other day and make a selection as soon as possible.
Yes.
You haven't met with anyone since then?
Yes, it didn't quite click with me, so I was dragging along.
I see. But you know what...
haven't you forgotten someone?
Huh?
I stepped up as a candidate for your marriage hunt.
Oh, I haven't forgotten.
Does that mean this is a date too?
What? Then it's not good if someone saw us here.
- Maybe I'll be reported! - Reported?
Hospital gossip spreads from nurse to nurse instantly!
Ah, I'm fine with it...
if it's out. Actually, I'd welcome it.
If it's too much of a bother, why not cancel on that marriage agency?
Maybe I'll cancel.
Really?
But if I think that the registration fee I paid to join is wasted,
I can't quit.
Right.
Scary...
That wasn't a love story at all!
That was a horror movie, with ghosts!
I told you that I can't handle ghosts!
I'm sorry. I didn't research much. I got these tickets from a friend.
So he really did get those tickets from his friend.
That was scary!
That voice sounds familiar.
You like horror movies, but you get scared.
I am scared, but I still want to see it.
Chief?
Stop it!
That's Chief!
Every time you screamed, the person in front of you would turn.
So Chief is in love too!
What are you smirking about?
Nothing.
Tachibana, the worksheets are in the blue binder.
Anything to do with medicine goes into the red binder!
How many times do I need to tell you?
I'm sorry.
It's nothing like the kind smile she had on her date yesterday.
Did you say something?
No, nothing.
Tachibana, let's head to the pharmacy.
Yes.
Good work.
Who was that?
That's Dr Shimizu of Brain Surgery.
I've seen him somewhere.
Maybe you walked past him in the hospital before?
I don't think so...
Shh!
Why are you screaming?
What? What?
You're scaring me! What is it?
That doctor was on a date with the Chief yesterday.
What? Is that true?
Mihara, you didn't know?
I saw it with my own eyes.
Chief
looked so happy.
She looked like a woman.
Tachibana, you can't tell anyone about that.
What? But hospital love is pretty common, right?
Yes, that's true, but Dr Shimizu has a wife.
Ah! I see, a wife...
What? What!
Then the Chief's love is...
an illicit affair!
"Nurse in Action!"
Chief, who is so serious, is having an affair.
Hey! Don't glance at her like that.
Yes.
Tachibana, do you know where the pudding in the break room went?
An affair?
Oh, I'm sorry! I ate it.
Just buy some more.
Oh, pudding.
Tachibana, have you submitted the review report?
An affair?
Wait, a review report, yes, I've submitted it already.
Tachibana, have you checked the inventory for syringes?
An affair?
That's not it. I'm done checking on the syringes.
Tachibana, what's wrong? You are acting strange.
It's nothing.
It especially has nothing to do with you, Chief.
Really?
Oh, no! I can't get the Chief's affair out of my head!
Shh! Be careful!
- Mihara! Mihara! - What?
Why is the Chief going out with someone who's married?
Maybe she's being lied to?
I don't think so.
You hear it a lot. Whoever they fall in love with happens to be married.
Yes...
There's probably something
shared by only the two of them.
Is it really like that?
I don't get it. It's an adult's world.
Right.
Oh, you dropped this.
Thank you very much.
Yuko!
Ah, Satoshi. You came.
Of course!
How was it?
It's going well.
That was Dr Shimizu's wife.
They look like a happily married couple.
That's horrible. The Chief looked really happy on the date too!
No! Tachibana, hold it!
Hold it! Hold it!
I never thought you two knew.
I'm sorry.
How long have you been dating Dr Shimizu?
It's been three years,
since I was a surgical nurse in Brain Surgery.
You know how doctors look great during a surgery?
I get that.
That was around the time I broke up with my boyfriend
I was thinking of marrying.
I was alone.
Then we started going out to drink, then...
So love affairs start like that.
Hey!
How did you keep it a secret for three years?
That's right. Gossip travels fast within the hospital.
I think both of us were serious about hiding it.
We have our responsibilities at the hospital too.
But...
you'll be breaking up with Dr Shimizu now, right?
What?
Well, Dr Shimizu betrayed you, Chief.
He was hiding the fact that his wife is pregnant. That's unforgivable!
Tachibana!
Thank you, Tachibana.
It's not that easy.
When I saw him and his wife today...
I was shocked.
That's horrible.
It's the worst! That's what I thought,
but is that enough for me to break up with him?
I... don't know.
We had many happy moments too.
There were times when we made future promises.
Chief...
But lately...
I had given up, because I was never going to be with him.
I'm not the type to wait forever, believing in him.
- That's not your type. - Hey!
I know I should end things with him
and date someone I could actually marry.
I really do get that.
But it's not easy.
Love is not as clear-cut as work.
Chief! I get that feeling!
It really is different from work,
and love just won't go the way you want it!
Mihara!
Let's drink tonight!
- Yes! Cheers! - Cheers!
Work doesn't go my way for me...
I don't quite get it.
How Mihara feels?
Right.
What'? How do you know Dr Y aqua'?
Head Nurse, you are easy to read!
Am I that easy to read? I need to be more careful.
So? Did you tell her how you feel?
It's not quite that,
but we go out to eat and drink alone. It's like that.
That's the most fun part!
Right? It is, but...
even in private, we are still Head Nurse and nurse,
no matter what. You know,
she's much younger than me.
That's not a big deal.
The age difference won't matter if there is love.
Well, that's what they say...
I don't know if Mihara sees me as her trusted boss,
or does she see me as a man?
I wonder which one it is.
Well, if that's the case, ask me anything!
As your senior, I'll listen to you since I too have married a nurse.
That's right! Dr Yagira, you did do that!
Then, please, teacher!
Well, nurses are regular women too.
So be a man and be stern.
- Be stern. - Yes.
Could I be stern?
Yes?
Huh?
I'll be coming home right away.
Should I pick up something at the store? I see.
I see. I see.
I guess mature love is hard.
Oh, welcome home.
"Welcome home"?
That sounds like we live together.
I'm home.
Oh, yeah! The person who was dating the Chief yesterday,
I ran into him today!
You know what? He is our hospital's--
Why not?
I can't tell you that here.
Come with me!
What?
What? Chief is having an affair?
See? It's too much for an immature child like you!
What is she going to do?
But she'd break up if she knew his wife is pregnant, right?
It's not that simple when it comes to mature love.
I see.
He)“
So us being in the same room together...
seems natural these days.
That's true.
We actually get along, and it's actually fun to be together...
Yep, it's pretty fun.
In that case...
should we just go out?
What?
Just kidding! It's a joke!
It's a joke.
You shocked me! So it's a joke!
Don't do that!
Okay, the talk is over! Go home!
Oh, okay, see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow. See you!
How dense is that guy?
Actually, it was the first time I'd ever...
gone to see a movie with him.
What? And you've been together for three years?
Well, we can't be seen by the hospital staff and patients,
so we wouldn't go out in public much.
But then I was caught for the very first time.
You were really being careful.
Maybe yesterday, a part of me was feeling...
that we should get caught.
Even if it didn't go in a good direction,
I could get out of this situation.
I'm sorry.
"Dr Shimizu"
"13 missed calls, Dr Shimizu New voicemail"
Are you sure you don't have to get that?
I want to think by myself too.
I'm scared to talk to him right now.
Chief...
" Right! ' Yes!
Men are just helpless.
- That is so true! - Right!
Well, I'm heading that way.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Thank you for today.
- Not at all. - See you tomorrow.
"13 missed calls, Dr Shimizu New voicemail"
"Voicemail, Dr Shimizu"
Mayu, let me explain.
I tried to tell you about my wife's pregnancy,
but knowing how that would hurt you...
I just couldn't tell you.
That was wrong of me. I'm sorry.
Could we meet and talk?
That's scary!
- You scared me, Mayu! - I'm sorry!
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
Thank you.
Oh?
It's on. How do you like it?
It's cute.
- It looks good on you. - I'm so glad.
I'm so glad you've been released.
Yes, you took such great care of me, Chief.
Please take care.
Thank you very much.
I thought Chief might be depressed, but she looks good.
That's fine. You get to work.
Yes.
Chief, the additional order of the antiseptic solution
says 10 boxes, but this should be one box, right?
Oh! I'm sorry. I made a mistake.
Don't worry about it. I'll just correct this.
I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
- Okay, then. - Yes.
Ms Otomo, here's your meal.
Thank you.
Ms Nakata, here's your meal.
That looks delicious.
It does look delicious.
I'll eat.
Oh? Ms Tanaka's tray is not here.
Isn't this it?
No, this one is Ms Nakata's.
But I already served it to Ms Nakata.
"Akemi Nakata, Female. Rice porridge 150g, chopped side dish"
Did you give Ms Tanaka's tray to Ms Nakata?
Hold it!
I'm sorry, Ms Nakata. This one is yours.
I thought I would be able to eat solid food starting today.
I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I'm sorry.
I'm so disappointed.
I'm sorry.
Well, it's fine. You realised it just in time.
No, serving the wrong meal must not happen as a nurse.
If Ms Nakata had eaten a regular meal,
her treatment would have gone to waste.
I'll submit an incident report right away.
I got it. Please don't let it happen again.
Yes.
But, you know, that mistake was so unlike you, Chief.
Maybe you are tired?
No.
Okay. If you have any concerns, just know you can talk to me.
Thank you very much. Excuse me.
I'm going to the Nursing Department.
That's rare for Chief to make such a basic mistake.
She's always perfect.
I wonder if something happened.
It must have been a shock.
Saito, you know something?
No, I don't know anything.
- Really? - Yes.
Chief is acting all cheerful,
but it must be hard for her.
I wonder if there's anything we can do.
There it is!
Dr Shimizu.
Hey!
Do you need something?
Is Chief Murakami here?
- She's not here! - What?
Chief is on her rounds, but would you like to leave a message?
No, I'm fine.
Ugh! He hurt her feelings, and he has the nerve to--
He has the nerve?
I've been thinking about how to beat up that doctor.
Just stop it with all the violence.
- Go do the nebuliser. - Yeah.
- Mihara. - Yes?
I want to ask you something.
Did something happen to Chief?
Who knows.
I thought maybe you know something.
Well, there are things.
Nurse is a woman too.
Right. Oh, yes!
How about you take this and go out to eat with Chief?
What is this?
My poetry won in Monthly Nurse Magazine,
and this is the prize. I had it tucked away and forgot about it.
Yorokobi is that expensive teppan place. Are you sure?
Of course. I was hoping it would help Chief get refreshed.
Ah! Head Nurse, you are so kind.
Not that much.
I was trying to figure out how to cheer her up too.
- Thank you very much. - Enjoy!
Oh, so your poem that won, what was it again?
Oh, I think it was actually pretty good myself. May I?
"We are more feminine than the women, the nurse man."
See?
Excuse me.
It's so delicious!
I'm so glad you like it!
Thank you!
I've never had such delicious beef!
It's really delicious.
I know.
Why are you all here too?
It's not fair for just you and Chief to go.
Head Nurse is generous to have given you the gift certificate.
You can't come to a place like this that often.
We will equally split anything that goes over.
Hey, let's toast to Head Nurse!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
This is delicious!
Have some, Mikkun. Open your mouth.
It's delicious.
Oh, no, Mikkun, you got some.
"Open your mouth"?
This isn't the place for that.
Right.
Let's go to the hot spring we went to before. Overnight too.
There's always someone like that.
- That kind of stupid couple! - Hey!
That's a pretty raw conversation.
Overnight?
Okay, when do you want to go?
When is good?
Could it be?
Yukino? ls something the matter?
No.
Well, next week...
Oh, I'm good on Saturday.
What? How lucky!
- Shall we go now? - Sure.
Thank you.
Mitsuru?
Yukino.
Chief.
Oh, and Mihara too.
Hello.
What's going on?
It's not what you think. I was having a business dinner with her.
Business related?
Mikkun? Who are these people?
These are the nurses at my hospital.
I need to talk about work today,
so could you leave for now?
What?
Okay-
Hey!
This is not appropriate, so let's go somewhere else and talk.
The day you were planning to go to some hot springs with her,
it's when I'm on the night shift, right?
What?
Did you always cheat on the days I wasn't around?
No, that's not it. I'm not cheating on you.
Were you betraying me?
What? You go to dating parties and have a good time.
We are both the same!
- That's not true! - Tachibana!
It can't be helped.
We are not off on the same days. When you work nights, I'm bored.
- Of course I want to have fun. - You knew that from the start.
I'm a nurse.
Yukino, you are a nurse, but you are not kind at all.
I thought you would do more for me.
You are not at all an angel in uniform!
Hey!
Tachibana!
Ouch!
"Nasugamama" What are you doing?
I'm sorry.
My body just moved by itself.
But he was...
It's because Nishino said such horrible things.
But for you to punch him is absurd.
That's right, Tachibana. I felt the same way about punching him,
but a mature person must refrain.
Yes, I'm sorry.
I kind of suspected since he was acting strange lately.
I never thought he was that low.
It's just that guys expect too much from a nurse!
He said, "You are a nurse, yet you are not kind"?
That's right. They all have that illusion of an angel in uniform.
Nurse's love is difficult.
Right. Even after work is done, there's no way you could
stay an angel the whole time in front of the boyfriend!
But...
I think it's a bit of a waste.
What?
But you were with him for almost a year, right?
Nishino is quite a catch.
I think you can look the other way this one time.
Um...
I don't have a boyfriend, and I don't get love at all.
But...
don't you want your love to just love you?
No matter who it is...
no matter what kind of love.
I think that's the most important thing for women.
That's the best.
Right.
I'm glad you punched him, Tachibana.
I couldn't do it. I feel refreshed now.
Thank you.
Fujii...
Once in a while, you say something good.
What? Mihara, did you just praise me?
- Just a little. - You praised me, right?
Right?
You want the one you love to just love you.
Are you okay?
Ouch...
What hurts?
I'm going to touch your belly.
Is it around here?
It's bloated. I'll massage your lower back.
Excuse me! Could you get a wheelchair?
I got m
It's fine. I just asked for a wheelchair.
You will be fine.
Let's take a deep breath for now.
Slowly breathe in.
Breathe out.
That's good.
Oxygen is being delivered to the baby from you.
Yes.
I'm bringing one!
Thank you very much.
You are fine. We are almost there.
What's the matter?
She was curled up in front of the hospital with abdominal pain.
Her lower stomach is a little bloated.
I got it. Get the ultrasound ready right away.
Yes.
Mrs Shimizu, it's okay.
We will examine you right away.
"Examination Room"
Her ultrasound looks good, and the baby's heart is beating well.
- She will be fine. - I see.
Since you reacted so promptly, it was very helpful.
Thank you.
I'm going to put your purse here.
Um...
Thank you very much.
There's no need to thank me. I'm a nurse.
Yuko! Are you okay?
What about the child?
It's fine.
I see. I'm glad.
I'm glad.
Hey! Listen! Listen!
Just now, Dr Shimizu's wife was collapsed in front of the hospital,
and she was taken to Obstetrics.
What? Dr Shimizu's wife?
This is the shocking part!
The one who helped the wife was our Chief!
Chief did?
Chief sure is good! She's calm and cool even in an emergency.
She's like the nurse of nurses!
Thank you.
Because you helped,
both my wife and my child are safe.
I'm glad.
I've hurt you so many times, and yet you...
helped my wife and my child.
I can't thank you enough.
I only did what a nurse must do.
I realised it again after what happened today. You are a special...
For me...
you really are someone special.
But...
I can't leave my wife... and my unborn child--
Let's end it.
Our relationship.
Mayu.
When I...
took your wife to Obstetrics...
I thought...
that I want them to be safe.
And...
I want them to be happy.
Then...
I realised...
this is not where I belong.
Thanks for everything.
Next time...
I'll find someone who will just love me.
We're at the same hospital,
so we may still run into each other, but...
goodbye_
You two...
Chief, you were so cool!
What? Are you crying?
Well, she's matured a bit since she didn't punch Dr Shimizu.
But I'm not cool at all. I'm full of pain.
Chief! Let's get to work!
Yes, let's do it!
' Yes! ' Yes!
Hey, Tachibana!
The labels you put on are all upside down!
- Do it over! - Yes.
And, Ono, you are slow with record entry!
Saito, you need to take initiative and do it!
I'll be careful.
What are we going to do, Mihara? Chief has powered up even more!
It's going to be hard for a while.
- And, Mihara! - Yes?
Messy hair makes your nursing messy too.
You need to be neater, like a veteran!
Oh, yes.
Mihara too!
I guess the expensive teppan has worked its wonders!
Head Nurse Home.
Could I get your seal for a fixture bill?
- A seal? - Yes.
Ah!
Nishino, did you do something?
No, no.
Anything else?
Do you need something from our nurses?
No... I'm sorry.
Let's all clean up now.
Yes.
It seems that Nishino and Fujii are over.
Was that what that was all about?
When they team up, they are strong.
- Remember that. - Yes, I'll remember that.
We are completely in the dark.
Yes, I thought I was getting adjusted lately,
but I can't fit in at all.
The nursing profession is still predominantly female.
Yes.
Thank you, everyone.
Thank you.
Hey, I have a date party deal.
Wow, Yukino, you are fast!
- That's great. - I'm participating too!
What? You are coming too, Tachibana? Don't ruin it again!
Well, Mihara, Fujii won't hand over a nice guy even if there is one.
You do your best on your own!
What? I'm always doing my best on my own.
That dating party...
I'm coming too!
Why are you suddenly participating in a dating party?
What do you mean? I'm single. ls there a problem?
- No. - No.
Ah! You all know
my time is limited, so if there's a nice guy, hand him over to me!
What? That's my line!
Ah! Good day.
Good day.
Wait!
You've got to be kidding me.
Huh? I need to beat him up once.
Your former candidate for marriage has been admitted to the hospital.
Will you go out with me with the intention of getting married?
How do you feel about me?
Call an ambulance!
Help me! Please!
