In Time With You[Also known as "I Don't Love You Yet"]
Episode 13: Things Lost to Gain Things
What's this party?
.It's Meteor's second anniversary celebration party
Yo Mitarai, will you marry me?
Where's Yo?
Hey Ishida! How long do you plan to bother Yo?
Maybe it is about time I leave.
Ren is transferring to Shanghai.
You don't have to worry about it anymore.
The biggest thing I have to change
is the habit of meeting up with you, Ren.
Please marry me.
I'll have to live in a town without you.
Did you say Shanghai?
Yes, Shanghai!
I really thought hard about it,
and I think you are the person for it.
- But...- I know,
Meteor, right? I know, but
you are the only one I can count on.
Are you going to get married?
What? Chief Mitarai, are you serious?
My boyfriend proposed to me and I decided to accept it.
Really?
Nothing is decided yet.
Congratulations! If your wedding
is not happening soon, will you consider it?
I'll think about it.
I heard you are getting married. Congratulations.
Thank you.
So which is it, Yo?
You want to go to Shanghai or not?
Of course I want to go! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
But...
But?
My boyfriend won't agree to it.
Boyfriend? You mean your fiancé?
Honestly, I'm not sure.
Then why are you wearing a ring?
To convince myself.
I'm getting married even if I have to compromise and settle.
Thank you very much.
Yo, could you compromise and settle to get married?
That's...
Why not just go for it and use the female weapon?
Female weapon?
You can flatter him and be sweet to him,
make him feel good, then start negotiating.
If it still doesn't work, you plead with tears.
Plead with tears? That's not possible. I'm really bad at that!
I'm sure.
You are sure?
Just saying.
If it was anywhere else but Shanghai...
Why?
Ren is transferring to Shanghai at the end of the month.
So your boyfriend is jealous?
Hello?
This is Maki.
Yo, we are going to have a farewell party for Ishida,
and I would like you to come, too.
I see.
I got it.
Really? I'm glad.
But there's someone I want to bring, is that okay?
What's the matter?
I need a favor.
A favor?
Are you available tomorrow night?
What is it? What are you scheming?
I'm not scheming anything.
I just want you to come with me tomorrow night.
If that's the Princess' wish.
Really?
Today, Ren's co-worker invited me
to Ren's farewell party.
So I want you to come with me, Ryusei.
You won't?
Last time we had dinner it ended terribly,
so I want to show Ren that Ryusei is decent, too.
Please!
Please! Please!
You are so cute.
Fine, then.
Thanks.
Could you grant another wish?
What is this? There's more? Say it.
Can you give me two years?
What do you mean?
Actually...
My work's Shanghai branch's manager quit suddenly and I—
I won't allow it.
Listen to me.
I've been told by Executive Director Hayashi...
Then!
I want to help the company.
It's not just that.
I want to go for myself, too!
This kind of opportunity doesn't come around that often.
I'll regret it for sure if I turn it down.
I'll give you several opportunities,
with whatever terms you want.
If anything, I'll let you start your own brand.
That won't mean anything.
I want to use my own capabilities—
The fact you are my girlfriend is part of your capability!
I don't want to use that kind of ability.
Then that would mean I'm with you for your power.
Are you fine with that, Ryusei?
I'm fine as long as I'm with you, Yo.
It won't do for me.
Please! Just for a year!
No.
How about six months then?
It's impossible! I can't bear it!
I'm being greedy.
I didn't want to let go...
of Ryusei,
nor my dream. I'm sorry.
Why?
Three months then.
You are a bad Princess.
Tearful pleading really worked.
I'm sorry, Ryusei.
Everyone!
This is a post-party, so let us be free and easy!
Yeah!
Celebrating our Ishida's promotion,
another toast!
Cheers!
Congratulations!
Congratulations.
Ishida! Congrats for the promotion!
Cheers!
You turned down going to Shanghai once,
why did you change your mind all of a sudden?
No reason.
I'm glad! You came!
I'm sorry to come so late.
Not at all. I'm glad you came.
Oh, Meteor's...
Hello, Mr. Mizusawa.
Oh, today—
I called Yo.
Thanks for coming.
Congratulations on your promotion.
Congratulations. I wanted Ryusei to celebrate it, too,
so I forced him to come.
I wasn't forced.
It's to celebrate my fiancée's best friend.
I'm sorry, I haven't told you yet.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Tondabayashi! That spot is open, right?
Wow! Yo! It's open!
Section Chief Kogure, move!
Don't tell me to move!
You millennials are all the same.
Oh, hello.
Mr. Mizusawa.
Oh, hello.
It's been a while, Yo.
It's been a while. Ah!
This is my fiancé, Mizusawa Ryusei.
A fiancé?
Mr. Mizusawa is Yo's fiancé?
Mr. Mizusawa.
Here.
My name is Marukawa.
I'm Yo's ex-boyfriend.
That fact is not true at all.
Thank you!
Ah! That's the way to drink!
Awesome!
Thank you for inviting us today.
Thank you for coming.
If we knew Mr. Mizusawa was coming,
we would have been more proper. Please sit.
We are so sorry.
I'm sorry for not mentioning it.
Please, come and sit over here.
Hey! Why are we bowing heads on such a wonderful day?
Yes...
I'm here as Yo's fiancé to celebrate Ishida's promotion.
Please be free and easy!
Yes!
Let's drink!
Yes.
- Pour some for him!- Yes.
You're quite chummy with his co-workers.
What? Are you jealous?
No way.
Oh, how embarrassing.
Are you all ready?
Let's toast.
Right.
Everyone!
Mr. Mizusawa is here! Mr. Ryusei is here!
That's not necessary.
CEO, please!
- Me?- Please.
I'm sorry...
Well, once again,
Ren Ishida, congrats on your promotion!
Cheers!
Congratulations!
It's good.
Right.
I'm counting on you!
I'm sorry.
It can't be expensive.
Can I sit here?
Sure.
You have a wonderful fiancé.
Thanks.
I now know why Ishida decided to go to Shanghai
after he turned it down once.
Why?
His love for you didn't make it.
Love for me? Ren?
No! That's not possible!
It's true. Ishida told me...
that he loved you, Yo.
That's why we broke up.
Marukawa! Please don't hog Mr. Mizusawa!
Do you want to sit here?
Move over a bit!
Thank you.
Maki...
What is it?
It's not love or anything,
I won't love you.
I'm always cheering for you, Yo.
The Yo I know is not pathetic at all.
Morning.
As for me,
I'm always saved by your coffee, Ren.
You are wonderful, Yo.
That's why I—
You'll take responsibility and marry me or something?
Sure. I'll marry you.
You should live the way you want to live.
You can't bear to live while falsifying yourself.
Ishida told me
that he loved you, Yo.
Why now?
Thanks for coming to my farewell party.
I'm leaving on a flight in the daytime.
I'll be leaving my house around eight in the morning.
If you're up to it, come see your best friend off.
Ishida
Don't drop it.
Take care of yourself.
Tell me if you need something. I'll send it to you.
Thanks.
Hey, when you're gone, we won't be able to see Yo, either?
If you call her, she'll come and see you.
Then there's no problem even if you are not here!
Hey!
I got it.
Thank you.
Hello?
I woke up late.
I expected it. Don't worry about it.
You sure are my best friend.
Have you left already?
I see.
Don't eat too late at night.
I know.
Remember to take your makeup off before bed.
I know!
I'll send my contact info once I get there.
Ren!
You are...
the most important best friend in my life.
What?
Right.
Well, good luck.
I'm cheering for you.
I'll wish you the best of luck.
Thank you.
See you, best friend!
See you! Best friend.
Of course she's not here.
My most important best friend in the world,
Ishida Ren, I'm sorry I don't have the courage to see you in person.
But...
I believe that the friendship
is a much tighter bond than love.
You won't go to Shanghai?
No.
What? Why not?
I need to turn it down, for sure.
Shanghai
Mitarai Yo
Hello? Yo.
Yes, I'm here.
Right! This is my new phone number.
I'll send you the address and all later by e-mail.
Yo, Shanghai is one futuristic city.
All the payments are done by cell.
Even this spicy looking duck neck I picked up at the food stand,
they frowned at me when I tried to pay with cash.
It looks spicy.
Yo, I'm trying to change, too.
It's not that spicy.
It's spicy!
♫ My love and heart are stylish ♫
♫ So it can't be broken so easily because I cried ♫
♫ Over one break-up ♫
Oh? How did I get here?
Yo, I'm starting to search for a new life.
Ren, I'm continuing...
with my daily routine.
Now, think of what to do with this season's series,
and once it's together, report it to me.
- Yes.- Thank you.
I'm going to watch a little, too.
Here? That's fine, but this is so that they can be independent,
it's part of their training.
- I understand.- All you do is watch.
Hello.
Narumi.
How is it going?
Come over here.
For this year's series, we will focus more on the height of the heels.
So then you turned down going to Shanghai?
Well, if I went to Shanghai,
I cannot not see Ren.
It's too awkward.
But Ren doesn't know that you know how he feels, right?
Then...
No, it's impossible. It's too awkward.
Then what if
Section Chief Jo still liked you, would it be awkward?
Why wouldn't it be?
Why? Because I don't like him.
- Bingo!- What?
In other words, it's not how the other person feels,
it's all about how you feel, Yo.
How I feel?
You compromise what you desire.
Isn't that quite clear?
What do you mean?
You are scared of really falling in love with Ren.
Why are you scared?
I'm not scared.
When we were in high school,
he's the one who said he definitely won't love me.
Even if he says he loves me now, I should be like, "Yes"?
He was just in high school.
I think he was just scared of being turned down.
Why don't you forgive him with a smile and accept Ren?
No, I can't. I have Ryusei now.
Good job.
I will be starting here today.(In Chinese)
I'm Ren Ishida.(In Chinese)
Nice to meet you all, and I look forward to working with you.(In Chinese)
This is a treat from Japan.
It's nothing special, but please enjoy it—
No, I won't translate that.
Why not?
In China, nobody wants anything that's not special.
Can I tell everyone that it's a delicious treat
that you selected?
Yes.
Everyone! This is a delicious treat(In Chinese)
that Ishida carefully selected for everyone!(In Chinese)
Handsome Ishida! Thank you!(In Chinese)
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Please adjust quickly to your new life.
Right.
Thank you.
I decided not to go to Shanghai.
Is he the issue again?
Of course not.
Yo, you've been acting strange since his farewell party.
I'm scared of being apart from you, Ryusei.
Is that true?
I didn't just agree to let you go to Shanghai where he is.
I understand how passionate you are about your work.
I know. I'm sorry.
Ishida Ren, Shanghai
Mitarai Yo
METEOR
Mr. Tokura!
Ah, Ms. Executive. How are you?
Thank you.
The proposal I submitted the other day,
did you get a chance to read it?
I'm sorry. I haven't read it. I'm busy.
No...
I thought it over,
but it's fine if Ms. Executive doesn't work so hard.
What do you mean?
I'm fine as long you don't get in our way.
You're the CEO's ornament. That's all you are.
Let me work, too!
Well, we will have you work as a formality.
Wait one second.
- Please read my proposal!- Yes, yes.
Fine, I'll read it.
Ishida!
I'm sorry to bother you on your day off.
No problem! I'll show you around anytime!
Who is this?
She is...
Nice to meet you, I'm Song Shurei.
I want to improve my Japanese, so I came.
It's very nice to meet you.
Don't get the wrong idea.
She's just...
a buddy kind of thing.
A buddy?
Right, a regular...
Let's get going.
I'm chowing down.
No! You say "I'll eat."
Where did you learn that weird Japanese?
It means the same thing.
Mr. Ishida is my superior.
Watch your language.
I was being friendly.
Let me taste it.
Why are you eating mine?
Why not?
You have your own.
You are stingy!
Yo...
Mr. Ishida!
Are you losing it?
I'm sorry.
You yelled at Mr. Tokura?
I won't ask you anything.
I'm sure you were right, Yo.
Ryusei.
But a company...
won't run on being right alone.
Is it...
necessary for me to work at Meteor?
I'm just your ornament,
and I don't bring anything to Meteor.
There is a merit. You give me encouragement.
You know,
I think we should work on enriching our time together.
No, listen.
I just want to work.
I know. Don't be so stubborn.
Just having you there makes me so much stronger.
No matter what the task, you go at it sincerely and fiercely,
that's Mitarai Yo.
Yo?
Don't you get it?
Rather than seeing you tired from work,
I want to see you smile.
Even if that task exhausts your mind and body,
you want to feel accomplished, right, Yo?
I want you, Yo,
to be by my side,
and be radiant.
It's fine.
Just go through with what you believe in,
otherwise, Mitarai Yo won't shine.
If it gets tough, I'll always be here to listen to you.
Are you okay?
I'm fine. I'm sorry.
Why?
Ishida
Thank you for teaching me Yoga all the time.
Let me know anytime.
I think it's fine now.
Thank you.
I sprayed wood vinegar solution on it.
I think in a few days those hairy caterpillars will be gone, too.
I'm so glad.
I'm so sorry! That was so sudden.
Ren is in Shanghai now,
so we don't know who to ask.
- Here you go.- Thanks.
- You sit here.- Here's one for you, Yo.
Thank you very much.
Thanks.
Gaku, you are still knowledgeable about bugs.
Well, when bugs are taken away from me,
- nothing will be left.- That's true.
The last time you were here is when you were tutoring Ren?
I think so. It's been a while.
Thank you for that.
No,
I'm sorry that I was of no use.
Ren is brilliant, yet he didn't go to the college of his choice.
As a result, he went to the same place as my mediocre sister.
I'm a failure as a tutor.
Hey, Bro!
It's true.
No, it's not true.
No...
He passed his first choice.
Huh?
Is that true?
You two didn't know that?
He passed,
but he suddenly said he wanted to go to the same college as Yo,
and he wouldn't listen to us.
I guess he really wanted to go into architecture.
He really...
liked it.
Hey!
You heard wrong?
Right.
I drank too much that day,
I thought that maybe I heard wrong.
If I'm mistaken, then it would be awkward to see Ren, too.
Then I think it's fine to leave it at that.
Wait! I'm sorry.
This is an important issue for me.
Could you be more serious?
But why do I have to answer seriously
to a person who can't face their own feelings seriously?
I don't care how awkward you are feeling right now,
but basically, you don't know how to dump your boyfriend and go to Ren?
That's not true...
I think a person like that should suffer and be troubled a little.
I really hate that kind of person!
You clearly see him as a guy,
yet you hide behind the term "best friend."
That must make him miserable, too.
I was forced to play the supporting role
to enhance how great you two are as best friends.
Then when I got jealous, I was accused of being narrow minded!
That wasn't the case.
I couldn't wait for this day to come!
I wanted the two of you, who've been lying about your feelings, to learn a lesson!
I really don't care anymore, though.
I have a boyfriend now.
He's really wonderful.
He's kind, he's very caring of his mother,
and he's very capable. He's abroad for half of the year.
Thank you!
Welcome.
Shochu with green tea.
And tongue, heart and head,
plus scallions, shiitake mushroom and shishito peppers. All salted.
Alrighty!
What Yo should change is that habit of forgetting your wallet.
Um...
I got it.
Here's your shochu with green tea.
I'm sorry, Proprietor,
- could I cancel the order?- Why?
I forgot my wallet. I'm sorry.
Oh man!
He's definitely your boyfriend!
You know how you always forget your wallet?
He's in Shanghai right now, right?
He left 20,000 yen with me before he transferred there.
That's awesome.
So it's fine for you to enjoy your drink and food.
He's not my boyfriend.
He's my dearest best friend.
He's the most wonderful best friend.

Cheers!
I had a buddy, too,
but I actually loved her.
How about me?
Aoe will be transferring to Shanghai!
I was wondering how you were doing.
I still haven't adjusted to my days without you.
If something were to happen to me, who would you prioritize?
You are telling me to quit work?
Yo, don't you love me?
Mr. Mizusawa was in a car accident!
He was thinking of me so much.
