Yes?
Yuri.
What's wrong? You're soaking wet.
Yuri.
What happened to you?
Uehara...
I'm getting a divorce.
So... what is it this time?
Probably just another fight with my brother over something stupid.
Something like he didn't notice you changed your hair,
or he ate some fried chicken you were saving for yourself.
They've always fought over dumb stuff.
It's a waste of time to worry about them.
-But-- -Nao,
I'm sorry, but can I stay here for a while?
Sure, of course. That's fine.
Thank you.
Hey. This is my house too, you know.
Please, may I?
What the heck happened between you?
Takuya...
He's been...
having an affair.
-What? -Really?
There's no way in hell my brother--
Yes he has! That's why...
I'm getting a divorce.
But...
I'm going to talk with my brother. I'll sleep over there tonight.
OK.
-Take care of Yuri for me. -OK, I will.
-Here. -Thanks.
Take care.
I can't believe this. An affair? Totally impossible.
That brother of mine would never have an affair.
Oh, that's hot!
I really can't believe... That's hot!
...that he had an affair.
I wonder if Yuri really is going to get a divorce.
Hold on a second.
If that really does happen...
Uehara will...
I thought... I'd gotten over you...
but if you're leaving my brother, that changes things.
Uehara...
I'll make you mine and treat you well our whole lives.
OK.
No, no, no!
Not that!
Oh no! What should I do?
Huh? Yuri?
Let's... kiss.
Huh?
SAKE
I kiss anyone when I'm drunk.
Is that what's happening?
No... Wait, Yuri!
Yuri!
I really like you a lot, but not in that way.
It's a little soon for that, I mean, it's going too far.
Oh!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Eek!
Five times on the cheeks.
Three times on the forehead.
I just barely covered my mouth.
That was close.
How pitiful that my second kiss was also in a strange twist of events.
Yes?
Nao, I'm really, really sorry about yesterday.
It's totally all right, Yuri.
Wasn't I all over you last night?
Yikes!
I'm seriously going to quit drinking.
Nao, if I try to have a drink,
knock me flat and bawl me out.
Got it. I'll knock you flat and bawl you out.
Thank you. I'll need it.
No problem.
There they are.
Oh. Uehara.
-Already in such a bad mood? -Of course I am!
How come neither of you have been answering your phones?
It made me worry about you.
Oh, you're right. There's a lot...
I turned my phone off.
My brother's called you a bunch of times.
Tell him that he doesn't have to.
-Tell him yourself. -No way.
Why?
Come here. I need to talk to you.
OK, fine. See you later, Nao.
Yuri's taken off her wedding ring.
Nao... Good morning.
Good morning.
I like you. I like you, Nao.
-Is that the woman Uehara likes? -Ah! Ah!
Oh, yeah. Marina is waiting for me.
She asked me to go over the math problems with her.
That stuff's hard, you know. Math is--
-Morning. What's is it? -Come on. Come with me.
-Math is calling us. -Huh? What do you mean?
-Nao! -Yes?
I don't have practice today, so let's walk home together.
Sorry... but I can't go home with you today.
Sorry.
I'm suspicious.
When Nao panics like that, it always means she's hiding something.
I'm one reason she's panicking.
Really?
I told her I liked her.
Huh?
What... Hold on a second here.
Daichi told you he liked you?
You've got to be kidding.
Daichi is an old friend and is like a big brother to her.
That kind of thing can turn into love, you know.
You really think so?
Just look at us.
Oh... that's right.
So, what did you tell him?
He said, "I don't need an answer."
"I just wanted to tell you that."
Ahh... Daichi...
I can totally feel for him, right here.
Nao, you realize that Uehara's not the only guy around, right?
I mean, you're not with anyone now,
so maybe you should take Daichi seriously.
-But, for me, there's only-- -Nao!
Uehara.
Sorry, I've got to go.
Nao's head over heels with Uehara for sure.
But Uehara prefers Yuri, right?
Probably.
I think Nao and Daichi would be a great pair, don't you?
I guess so.
Any way you look at it, Daichi is way kinder too.
Hmm...
You're going back to your home?
-Yeah. -What?
But then, does that mean...
you're never coming back to our place again?
-Don't be stupid. Of course I am. -Really?
Just until this mess with Yuri gets straightened out.
Oh, I see.
Besides, it drives me nuts when she's there.
I'd rather be at my house.
What is it?
Nothing.
What did your brother say?
He said the affair is a misunderstanding,
but something seems fishy.
Hey, I'm really sorry.
Getting you involved in my family's personal problems.
I don't mind at all. Besides, I really like Yuri.
I'm really glad to hear you say that.
No problem.
Oh, and I didn't make lunch today.
It's OK. I'll just get something at the canteen.
See you.
"It drives me nuts... when Yuri's there."
Nao!
Daichi.
There's somewhere I'd like to take you.
Sorry, but I think I told you this morn--
You know, I've done a whole lot of favors for you, Nao.
Yes, that's very true.
-Excellent. OK, let's go. -Huh?
What?
Uehara, kick it back.
Wow!
Wow! It's the Sky Tree.
It's amazing!
Daichi, I didn't know you liked sweets.
I was in the mood...
but just looking at it has made me full.
You're kidding. What a waste!
-Then you have it, Nao. -What?
No, it's OK. It's yours, Daichi.
They say the sundaes here are so marvelous
that you have to have at least one before you die.
Yum! This really is delicious.
Oh. I'm sorry.
This was yours, but look how much I had.
I appreciate the concern, but there's almost none left.
Oh, you're right. Hardly any...
Here.
You have it, Daichi.
All right, if you insist.
It's way too sweet.
Is Uehara there?
Oh... for a while, he's going to be living at his home.
Really... That's good.
Daichi, I really like Ueha--
I know.
Then--
But doesn't he like that woman from this morning?
Are you not giving up on him even though he likes someone else?
I won't give up.
Like I thought. So I'm not giving up either.
But that's different than--
It's the same.
Exactly the same.
I'll wait for you patiently.
Waiting is my specialty.
OK, see you later.
Nao.
Marina.
This all feels kind of weird.
It's like Daichi is different than the Daichi that I know.
Well...
Either way, I don't think Daichi is different,
but now he's just serious about you.
Mitsuishi says
Daichi will treat you way nicer than Uehara will.
That's not true!
I mean, I know Daichi is nice and kind.
But Uehara is too.
He bought me a cake on Christmas,
and he came back home during that blackout.
I'll admit he says mean things, and acts all big
and is cruel and grump and eats too much...
Huh? It sounds like there are more negatives--
But... But even so
after living with him for two months,
I can swear with confidence that he is nice and kind.
Really?
Then I've made up my mind.
Huh?
I feel bad for Daichi,
but I'm going to support you in your romance with Uehara.
Charge ahead down the path you've chosen.
Marina...
So
where is that special Uehara? At work?
-Huh? -Where is he?
Well, you see...
Huh?
Darn you! With all the time you've been spending together,
how come you didn't take action right away?
I can't help it. The mood has never been right.
Ah!
You aren't trying hard enough!
How hard do you think Mitsuishi and I have been working at it?
Unlike you, we're not living together, you know.
Oh, you're right.
Uehara and I will be like you guys in the future.
You're a little late in realizing that.
Hmm...
I've got to make sure our time together is well spent.
Marina sure is smart.
-I'm home. -Oh, hi, Yuri.
-Huh? What's this? Tomorrow's lunch? -Uh-huh.
That seems like a lot.
Really?
Oh! You're making one for Uehara too, huh?
Well, uh...
I just happened to make a lot, so I thought I'd make one for him too.
I thought it'd be nice.
I see...
Uehara... Huh?
Oh!
What are you doing?
We've only got a limited time.
Let's go!
-What's with you? -Hurry!
What? Aren't you going to eat?
No.
My chest feels so warm.
Heartburn? You must have eaten too much.
You don't understand my feeling.
No, I'm sorry.
-Abe. -This guy never learns.
Nao!
Oh, no! I was so enjoying our time alone.
Nao, you won't believe this!
Did you confess your love again?
-And got turned down. -Hey!
You'll never understand how I feel, Uehara.
Now, now. Cheer up, Abe.
-Here, you can have my lunch. -Really?
-Uh-huh. Eat up. -All right!
Here you go.
-It looks delicious. Thank you! -No problem.
-Huh? -Hey! What're you doing?
-This won't be enough. -How much can you eat?
Enough for three.
You'll make yourself sick if you eat that much.
I'm a growing boy, so don't worry.
You skinny pig!
What?
-Like I said, you're a skinny pig. -What are you talking about?
Oh, yeah. Tomorrow's Saturday.
Oh! If you need lunch before your work tomorrow,
I'll make you one, OK?
You dummy. Tomorrow's a holiday. Our foundation day.
-Really? -Uh-huh.
Then the next day we'll meet is...
-In three days. -You must be kidding...
This is the first time since we've been living together
that we won't see each other for two whole days.
Two days... That's a long time.
It's not that long.
Oh, by the way, what are your plans for the weekend?
Work.
Oh, yeah. That's right.
Later.
Bye.
I feel like I'm always saying goodbye to Uehara.
He'd never text me.
Oh!
Yuri, your phone's ringing.
I know.
HISASHI UEHARA
Thanks, Nao. They probably want me to work on my day off.
No, it's Uehara.
Not again.
I wish he'd call me.
-Here you go. -Huh?
"Rolled cabbage, wieners,
clam chowder, hamburgers,
cars, computers, tako-yaki, tai-yaki..."
With these things, you can capture Uehara's heart for sure.
What? All these?
Well, I've known him for a long time.
Ahh. I wish I could return to that pure, innocent time.
You mean it's not like that now?
Life's all messed up now.
Well, it was always just me that was crazy in love.
That's never changed.
What? You mean with Takuya?
That's right.
I hate to admit it
but he is really super handsome.
More than Uehara?
Yep. They're like chalk and cheese.
What? Uehara is chalk?
Yep. Oh, I know!
He's probably got an old photo album.
Uehara will get angry if he finds out you've been in his room.
Then let him get angry. There's no need to worry about it.
Wow! What a nice bed. Come have a seat on it, Nao.
No, it's OK.
Don't be shy. Come on.
I'm not shy, just...
I think he doesn't mind if you do that, Yuri.
-Nao. -Excuse me.
I've got to do some shopping.
Ah! Wait! Hold on a sec, Nao.
I wonder... what Uehara's doing now.
-Ah! I'm sorry. -No. It's my fault.
Hey, you were talking with Uehara the other day. You're that...
pretty woman.
Are you a friend of Uehara's?
Here you are!
It looks delicious! Yum!
Come here...
You've already got a new girlfriend?
No...
but I'm getting my courage up to ask her out.
Oh, I see.
-Dad, one soft boiled egg! -Here you go!
Eat up. It'll give you courage. On the house.
Thank you, my teacher.
-So... -Yes?
Are you friends with Nao too?
For sure. We're good friends.
Really?
Then from your point of view, what do you think of those two?
What do I think? I think they make a good couple.
That's because
Nao's working so hard at it, don't you think?
Not really...
-Thank you! -No problem
-Hey! What're you doing? -This won't be enough.
-How much can you eat? -Enough for three.
I think that Uehara likes Nao too.
What? You think so?
You think so?
See you later, guys.
See you.
-Nao. -Daichi.
Ah! It's OK. I can carry those.
You sure bought a lot. Have you been worrying over Uehara?
No, not really...
It's so easy to tell what you're thinking.
You think so?
But that's what I like about you.
Wait up.
Daichi.
Ah! Uehara.
Nao! Uehara!
-Yuri! Abe? -Yo!
You came back?
I just happened to be passing by, that's all... Bye.
I have an idea! Since Nao's friends are all here,
today we're going to have a great big party!
-Really? All right! -Come on.
What the hell are you thinking?
If you're worried, then you'll just have to join us, won't you?
What?
Come on, you two. Let's go.
-Huh? -Come on. This way.
Since you insisted, we came.
-Oh! Welcome! -Come on in!
-Thanks for inviting us. -No problem.
We'll start by using these.
Go ahead.
Oh, OK.
Thanks, Mitsuishi.
Domino's Pizza.
Hey, the pizza's here.
Hey, handsome. You too, handsome. Give me a hand.
-Me too? -Did you hear? I'm handsome.
-What? -She said he's handsome.
That'll go to his head for sure.
Wow, I never thought you and Uehara were living together, Nao.
It's like you've got a head start.
You know, Abe, you've got to find yourself a girlfriend first.
That's right.
Right now, Yuri and I are really getting along.
I think I'm going to confess my love to her today.
What are you thinking? Yuri's married, you know.
Anyway, forget that. Put out the plates.
What? What?
No, no. You're mistaken.
No, I'm not mistaken at all.
-Really? You're not? -Never mind, Abe.
-Never mind? -Never mind!
OK, looks like we're ready. Shall we?
-Uh-huh. One, two... -Let's eat!
This looks delicious.
This is all on me today, so eat all you want.
Thank you!
I'm going to eat until I burst! Give me that fried chicken.
I don't know where to start.
Yum! This potato salad is delicious, Nao.
Really? But I always start with--
This, right?
-Uh-huh. -Here.
Thank you.
You dummy! You can't eat just meat.
I can eat whatever I like.
Hey.
Here.
No meat for you until you eat this.
-Oh, Abe! -Yes?
Can you get me another drink?
She's already made me her gofer.
What flavor do you want, Yuri?
Orange.
OK.
Nao, go get some dressing.
Go get it yourself.
ORANGE CHUHAI ALCOHOL 8%
Thank you.
Ahh!
Dammit. Who let her drink alcohol?
Don't touch me. It was you?
Yeah,
but I didn't know she'd end up like that.
Aah!
Abe, I found you!
Get over here.
-Let's kiss. -Really? We can?
Yes--
You're so cruel to me, Uehara.
Wait! Wait! Hold on!
Marina, uh...
Wait! Disappear, Mitsuishi!
-Ow! You totally kicked me. -Out of the way!
-Ah! No, I couldn't. -Daichi!
Hey, Yuri!
Oh! That's mine.
OK, OK.
Hello?
I don't have anything to do with him anymore.
Don't you see?
I'm divorcing Takuya!
Fine. Do what you like.
Sorry about that. You young kids enjoy yourselves.
The old person will now go get depressed.
-I'll need your room, Nao. -Hey, Yuri. Wait!
I see...
Yuri's had a rough time, huh?
Yeah.
-OK, bye. See you. -Yeah, see you.
-Thanks for coming. -No problem.
Ahh, adults sure do have it hard.
I've got a bruise here for sure.
Yuri says she wants to talk to you.
OK.
It's Nao. Can I come in?
Uh-huh.
Sorry. I drank too much again.
Who was that call from?
It was Takuya's...
girlfriend from university.
Even since they broke up, they've been seeing each other as friends.
He even lied to me to go and see her in the evening.
Ahh. I really hate myself.
I was always chasing after him.
I must seem like a fool.
I don't think so.
Really?
I think when you like someone, you turn into a kind of fool.
That person is always on your mind.
You get upset over silly things and worry about him for no reason.
But when you're with him, you're incredibly happy.
All your troubles and worries are instantly swept away.
Nao.
Oh, uh...
Anyway, it's OK to be a fool, Yuri.
Huh?
Uh, I don't mean that kind of thing.
Oh... I don't know how to put it.
Thank you, Nao.
Sure.
Is Yuri all right?
-Yeah, maybe. -"Maybe"?
If you're that worried about her, you go talk to her.
This has nothing to do with you.
Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt you guys.
-What? -What?
My stomach hurts.
-Huh? -Huh?
What's with that guy?
I think he overate.
He'll be fine. He took medicine.
So where the heck am I supposed to sleep?
Oh... Yuri's using my room too.
We'll just have to sleep here tonight.
You two... You're going to sleep here together?
You're going to miss the last train.
-I'm staying over tonight. -Huh?
-Hey, you crashed into me on purpose. -No, it was just an accident.
-Hey! What are you doing? -Oh, sorry. I didn't see you.
So much happened that I can't sleep now.
Then how about something to eat?
Oh! You're awake, Uehara?
Yeah.
Huh? What's that?
The one thing we both agree on.
You got that for me?
No, I just thought you might want to have one.
You mean you came here to see me today?
Huh? What're you talking about?
Oh, nothing. Let's eat.
-Thank you. -Yeah, sure.
Yum! Dang, this is good.
But a little warm.
So you think of milk pudding when you think of me, huh?
What are all the smiles about?
Even though we've only been together for a short time,
we've already got this in common.
Huh?
Yum!
Today, this pudding is better than usual.
That doesn't make sense.
Because this is full of your kindness.
I told you, I just happened to be passing by.
Really?
Yeah, really.
You going to eat that? I'll have it.
-You can't have it. -Huh? Hey...
-Look. -Huh?
Yum! This is so good.
Yum. Pretty good, isn't it?
Ahh, what fine weather again today. I'm feeling fine too.
OK, then get out right now.
Huh? Ah! Oh!
Jeez, you sure are cold to me.
Oops!
Ahh, now I'm all cold.
Hey, you're living at your house, right? Let's go back together.
I want to talk to you about something.
Yeah, sure.
What did you want to talk about?
You like Yuri, don't you?
That's none of your business--
I really don't care at all who you like.
But I will never stand for Nao to get hurt by you.
She and I aren't like that.
Then why the hell...
Why don't you tell her that?
Don't you dare take this lightly.
I've told Nao that I like her.
Nice to meet you. Thank you for always looking after my brother.
Your brother?
I'm Uehara's older brother, Takuya.
Older brother...
Oh! You're Uehara's big brother?
THIS IS A FICTIONAL DRAMA.
