(Because of an impulsive desire and a sudden fantasy...)
Get out.
( My cherished wife)
(and my precious daughter...)
(I betrayed my family which I meant to protect.)
( But then... ) - Please wait.
Is this you, Azu?
( Azu falling for another man even for just a moment.)
- I don't want to separate from you. - Sorry.
( I just couldn't...) - I want to be alone and think.
(I just couldn't accept that fact.)
(I never imagined how frustrating)
(and painful that is.)
(I'm going to walk...)
Please introduce yourself.
(with my own feet.)
My name is Azu Takamori.
(Looking straight ahead.)
- Off you go. - One step at the time.
Nanaka.
Hang in there.
Yeah!
- Azu, I'm sorry. ( Hang in there)
( just a little more...)
(I just need more time.)
- Mrs. Izutsu. - Yes?
Must be about that suspicion.
(To start a romance,)
(it requires mutual agreement.)

I'll tell you the truth about everything.

Holiday Love
I'll tell all of you. [Episode 7: A Romance Between A Married Couple]
What is this suspicion you speak of, Chief Siato?
It's of a love affair between you and Chief Takamori.
Is that true?
That's...
It's all over now.
I'm doomed.
I'm being punished for everything I've done wrong.
A lie cannot be hidden forever.
There is no such thing!
Of course, it's not true.
An adulterous affair at an office
is easy to tell, no matter how well you try to hide it.
It's obvious from your passionate gaze toward Chief Takamori.
Only you two think that nobody else notices.
Even if you say so, it's still a misunderstanding.
It's been two or three months since you started your part-time job here.
Then how come you call him Junpei. It's odd.
Because everyone calls him that too.
Rina, you came to our dormitory the other night, didn't you?
I saw Rina.
Is that Rina?
To your dormitory?
Yes. I visited Chief Takamori.
Chief Takamori, what was she doing in your room?
How could you invite a lady to a male dormitory?
Or did she enter uninvited?
That's not it at all.
Chief Takamori is moving to Tokyo.
So he was going to give me some appliances. I...
had just separated from my husband and left home.
So I visited his room
to get the size measurements of the refrigerator and the washer.
I knew it. You should've told me to help you.
- It's fine. - I'm sorry for doubting you.
Maybe I should've asked you.
Takamori, you should be more careful.
Your carelessness can cause a misunderstanding.
Sorry.
Okay. It's the end of the discussion.
Done talking.
Takamori, can you check on the progress of the construction site?
Sure.
- Can you call me by my first name too? - What was your first name?
I was saved.
But, why did she...
I'm afraid that now I'm indebted to her.
- Mama. - Yes?
Can I see Papa on my graduation?
Is he coming home for my graduation?
I miss Papa.
On March 24th, Nanaka will have her graduation ceremony.
Please, come to watch her performance.
I'm sure he'll come back.
- I bet Papa wants to see you graduate too. - Right!
♪ With a smile... ♪
Junpei... did you read my letter?
I hope you can come
for Nanaka's graduation ceremony.
I hope you can come.
Yes, this is Takamori.
This is Nail Salon ELESiA.
Thank you for coming to the interview the other day.
Thank you for having me.
We'd like you to work in our salon, Mrs. Takamori.
Your skill and costumer service are excellent.
So we'd like you to join us and work together.
- Mama, I love you. - I love you so much.
I love you so much.
Kai and Remi.
I'm sorry for not coming sooner–
What are you doing in a stranger's house?
Did you change the key?
That's a given.
I didn't want a stranger to enter the house
and steal something. I'll sue you for forcible entry.
I came to get Kai and Remi.
You must be having a hard time alone.
- I'll raise them. It's for your sake too. - Get out.
Both of them...
Please let me raise them. I beg you.
Your insincere kneeling is totally meaningless!
What are you doing? Why can't anybody live a life lawfully?
- You're still talking nonsense. The stupid couple - I was stupid.
- hasn't contacted me and hasn't paid me the consolation money. - What I did was wrong.
Why can't we all be normal?
- Apologize properly. - I'm so sorry.
It's over between Junpei and I.
Then...
- are you coming back– - The children and I...
if I can live with my children, that's enough for me.
So please... the children...
Fine.
Let the court decide. I won't let go of my children.
Let a third party decide fairly.
You have no income.
Between, you who left home after committing adultery,
and me, who is taking care the children properly in their home,
let the law decide who is more suitable for them.
I'm sure you'd be willing to accept that.
As her mother, I'll stay by Nanaka's side.
And make her smile.
I have to make sure Nanaka lives happily.
So I... must stand up on my own feet.
And prepare myself for the life ahead.
Thank you for the meal.
Go ahead.
- Nanaka! - Hm?
From now on, Mama will
be working at a company away from home.
A company away from home?
- See, I used to run a shop from our house, right? - Yes...
Instead, I will be working in a huge shop.
The shop stays open pretty late.
So I will also be working until late.
But, on those days, I asked the kindergarten to
look after you until late.
I asked Asami-chan to pick you up and she can sleep over here.
I will definitely have days off
and days that I can get off early.
On those days, we can go out together
and hold a takoyaki party as well! (A popular street octopus ball-shaped snack)
Takoyaki? That's great.
I want takoyaki for dinner tonight!
What? Today?
Okay. Now eat your breakfast!
Yes!
Mama?
Hang in there!
I will do my best!
This is terrible. I can't believe this.
Seriously. Oh my.
- Nanaka, wait here for a moment. - Okay.
Here. I found it on the ground.
How scary.
Is everything okay with your family?
I'm sorry.
[Welcome]
- Great. I love it. - You like it?
- This is a present from me! - Yay.
Whoa! That's dangerous!
I was living my life surrounded by a small (bubble of) happiness
and how contented I was to live an ordinary life.
I've only come to realize that just now.
Mama...
Are you going to throw it away?
Nope.
Because Papa made it.
I see!
Alright! Shall we go to kindergarten?
Go!
I will be leaving first.
- Yes. Thank you for your hard work. - Good work today.
Thank you for your hard work.
You too.
Excuse me.
Thank you for last time, for not saying anything.
Junpei...
I'm glad I was able to protect Chief Takamori.
Bye.
- Azu! - Yes. (Takoyaki mold)
Congrats on your employment!
- Thank you! - Cheers!
Cheers!
I think those are cooked.
Here you go, Nanaka!
- Here, Azu. Take this one. - Hmm? What's going on?
The octopus popped out.
- Say "Ah". Delicious? - Yup.
- Ah. - Eat more.
♪ ... I will never forget ♪
♪ Everything is great memories to me. ♪
I can't believe the whole thing was a setup.
That's horrible.
That woman called Rina is too scary.
I agree.
Why don't you report it to the police?
The police won't investigate such a minor case.
How are the neighbors and the people in Nanaka's kindergarten treating you?
Mama?
Shall we go upstairs?
Say goodnight.
Goodnight.
I wonder if she's really alright?
That woman seems pretty dangerous...
what if she commits a crime?
But, I guess she won't do anything further, right?
Excuse me, I'll like to book a room until morning again.
Okay.
By the way,
it's a better deal to buy a ticket for a consecutive stay.
Miss, you've stayed here several nights already.
[Babysitter's Note: Kai and Remi behaved really well today. They read books together.]
[Mr. and Mrs. Izutsu. Happy 7th Wedding Anniversary]
[To myself: Seven years later, are you still a good wife?]
[ When you see this today,]
[ please be kind to Wataru.]
[ I hope this happy time]
[ will continue on forever.]
Okay. Today's dinner is
Papa's favorite
hamburger steak.
Alright, sit down!
- Hamburger steak? - Yes!
I won't let you touch me ever again!
I'm off.
Good morning. [ELESiA]
This is Azu Takamori, she will be working with all of you from now on.
Please say a word or two.
Yes.
I am Azu Takamori. I have a 6-year-old daughter.
I used to run a salon in my home,
but I will be in your care from now on.
Thank you very much.
- Azu, you're so amazing! - Yes?
Many customers booked an appointment with you.
Huh? Really?
Mrs. Takamori, you have a customer.
Yes!
Good luck.
Yes.
Nice to meet you. I am Azu Takamori.
Hello, Mrs. Azu.
I'm Shoko Nakasei. My beautician, who normally does my hair, referred me to you.
A beautician?
Could it be Haru?
Yes!
How do you like them?
It's even cuter than I imagined!
Thank you very much!
I work with Asami.
My older sister?
Yes, she referred me to you.
Thank you very much!
Please excuse me. For some reason, my eyes tear up so easily...
When you get older... Have you decided on a design?
It's your final week. We're going to miss you.
On your moving day, is your wife coming?
No.
Ah, I guess that's so.
I'm sure she is busy with taking care of your mother and your daughter.
Shall I help you?
No, it's fine.
- Rina! - Yes?
Can you help Takamori to organize his stuff?
Yes, understood.
Are you mailing this too?
I can do the rest.
Takamori, let her help you.
It's time for you to go back to the site.
Hey, how are you doing?
How's your husband?
Well, a lot happened and I'm staying with my mom for now.
I guess that's best.
But I'm visiting my children without him knowing.
I haven't called or texted my husband even once.
That's a terminal stage.
Terminal? What are you talking about?
If a woman cares for a man,
she makes excuses
to contact him. However,
if she's unwilling to call or text him,
that means she has no feelings for him.
Seriously?
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- Mrs. Takamori. - Yes?
I know it's a little early, but...
a customer is asking for you.
Asking for me?
Ms. Reika.
His real name is Shiga.
I've known him for years.
He's like a younger brother to me.
He asked me so I helped him to meet you.
He told me he liked you
and was desperate to meet you.
So you... deceived me.
Shiga...
fled after injuring someone a long ago.
He was attacked by a drunk man.
It was self-defense.
His parents died when he was young.
To earn tuition for his younger brother,
he worked hard day and night.
He couldn't even make ends meet. And if he stopped working,
he and his brother couldn't survive.
That's why he fled.
Rina Izutsu knew about the incident and threatened him.
He approached you because he was threatened by her.
But I think
you and he were fated to meet.
You desired to be comforted by him even if just for a moment.
And he is tormented after meeting and hurting you.
I thought you two might have had a chance after the physical contact.
However, it doesn't change the fact that I deceived you.
I'm terribly sorry.
Azu... that woman...
hasn't given up on
your husband.
People can become obsessed for the thing that they can't have.
Once they obtain what they want, they'll no longer care for it.
If you don't put out the smoldering fire completely,
the fire cannot be extinguished.
Let me see your right hand.
I won't appear before you ever again.
[The day Junpei leaves the dormitory. ]
Junpei, have you been well?
You're moving out of the dormitory tomorrow, aren't you?
- Junpei... - Thank you for the meal.
Eating with just two of us
is really, really
lonely.
Your graduation ceremony...
how is it coming along?
We'll vacuum your room,
so don't worry.
Thanks.
- Sorry to have you help on your day off. - Not at all.
Can we visit you in Tokyo?
Sure.
Let us have a taste of Azu's cooking.
Okay.
Rina.
I came for an errand near by, so I stopped by to say goodbye.
I'm quitting this part-time job at the end of this month.
How disappointing. You're quitting?
We're back to all men at work.
There is Mrs. Takeda.
Well... I guess. But Mrs. Takeda...
That's horrible.
How should I say this...
I want to reset my life so I can start over.
Rina...
Chief Takamori,
thank you for everything until now.
Sorry for the troubles I caused.
Please... take care of yourself.
I will.
Mrs. Izutsu, take care.
I will.
That woman hasn't given up on
your husband. [Rina Izutsu: Nice to meet you.]
[I regret that my selfish behavior caused you so much trouble. 080-261-009]
Timing and subtitles are brought to you by the Finally Together Team @ Viki.com
Rina, we're going to take out the trash.
- Okay. - We'll be back.
Thank you.
Yes?
This is Takamori speaking.
Is this Mrs. Rina Izutsu?
Yes.
I heard about everything that you did.
I also heard about Mr. Shiga.
Being angry or resenting you
is meaningless to me.
So...
I'm going to forget the whole thing.
But don't... you ever
interfere with my life again.
I wasn't myself.
It's all in the past to me.
You may not believe me, but
right now, I can't even see my children.
And It hurts so bad.
Even if I were to divorce him,
more than likely I'll lose parental authority.
So I have no time to be worrying about Junpei.
I need to reconsider my own self
and walk facing forward.
For causing any serious trouble,
I'm so sorry.
i understand.
Take care.
Haru!
Are you heading to work now?
Right. I'm working a late shift today.
Thank you for referring me to your customer.
Is Nanaka's graduation ceremony tomorrow?
That's right.
Did you hear anything from Junpei?
Not yet.
If you want
I can come with you.
Eh?
As a photographer.
If you need anything let me know.
Thanks.
Have a good day at work.
- Be safe. - I'm off.
[Tokyo 100km]
Mr. Kuroi.
Azu.
Azu, you see...
about everything I did...
I've heard
from Haru
and Ms. Reika.
I'm sorry.
I don't even know how to say this.
I know apologizing isn't enough.
But I'm very,
very sorry.
Forget it.
You know...
I want you to know this.
I did many things
in order to protect myself.
So I had to deceive you
as I planned.
But the one thing I didn't expect was
for you to be so amazing,
beautiful, and honest.
I sincerely thought I wanted to meet you
in a different circumstance.
I'm aware
that I'm not in a position to say this.
I will do anything to help you.
I honestly want to help you.
Do you think I'm untrustworthy?
I don't.
Facing your problems
can be difficult.
But...
if you continue to run,
you can never be happy.
Goodbye.
Good for you, Nanaka.
Let's go home.
Even so, I've decided to believe him.
I've always had Junpei in my life.
It's already 8 o'clock.
I'm sorry. I try not to have you work a late shift.
It's fine. My sister is babysitting her at her house.
Seeing the house without lights on
was like seeing someone else's house.
I'm home.
When we were living together,
those were the lights that warmed my heart.
In my daily life,
I had Azu's smile and laughter.
- This is a gift from me. - Yay.
That's was dangerous.
[Azu]
[ Junpei, have you been well?]
[ Nanaka and I ]
[ are doing fine. I wish that was the case.]
[ For hurting you,]
[ I'm sorry.]
[ I know I can't apologize to you enough.]
[ But there is no use of me regretting it now.]
[ Because I can't erase my wrongdoing.]
[ I can't erase the fact that I hurt you.]
[ What I can do for you now is ]
[ wait.]
I want to be with Azu.
I can't think of my life without Azu.
Azu is my everything.
[ I still love you ]
[ as much as before.]
I'm sorry, Azu. Sorry.
Azu.
Junpei?
Azu...
Junpei.
Azu, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Sorry--
The warmth...
How much I missed...
just how precious it is...
I will never let it go ever again.
After all, I can't...
Haru, it's open.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Haru.
Junpei...
I heard it all from Azu,
how much you supported her.
You even came to see me in Shizuoka.
I'm thankful from the bottom of my heart.
I see.
This is so-called "rain settling the soil."
I'm happy for you.
Haru, I'm so thankful to you.
Don't be ridiculous.
Today is a good day.
What a good day.
Shall we take a picture?
Yeah, that sounds good.
It's you, Haru.
Good morning, Nanaka. Should I make your hair pretty?
Yup!
You look so cute. Aren't you happy that Papa is home?
Yup!
You look so cool today, Haru.
Nanaka.
My finger is getting in the way. Move it up...
Excuse me?
Can I help you with that?
Oh, thank you.
Thank you so much.
- She is taking the picture. - Okay.
- Ready? - Smile.
Say cheese.
One, two.
Father and Mother,
for raising us till now,
thank you so much.
We're getting so big as you can see.
We're going to sing a song for you.
And dance for you.
We practiced a lot to perform for you today.
We hope you enjoy it.

I can't believe...
I'm right here with Junpei now.
- Azu. - Don't touch me.
No matter what you say or any excuses you give,
it won't change the fact that you betrayed me.
It's over between us.
Get out now.
- I'm sorry. - Go now!
I've done something I can't redeem.
As long as you live, there is nothing you can't redeem.
Junpei, I want to start over with you.
I'm sorry.
Is this you, Azu?
- I don't want to split up with you. - Sorry.
