In Time With You[Also known as "I Don't Love You Yet"]
Episode 14: Goodbye, My Dearest Best Friend...
I wanted Ryusei to celebrate as well,
so I forced him to come.
Congratulations for your promotion!
Ishida told me
that he loves you, Yo.
Why now?
See you, best friend.
I look forward to working with you.(In Chinese)
Yo, I'm starting to look for a new way of life.
Could I cancel my order?
Your boyfriend left 20,000 yen with me.
He's not my boyfriend.
He's my dearest, best friend.
You are so clumsy.
Don't tell me I'm clumsy.
The movie is going to start.
- They are probably good friends.- Hey, your cell!
Where do you want to go?
Let's go.
They are lovers.
I'll carry it.
- That's fine.- Just let me.
- Thanks.- They are not lovers yet,
but they will be soon.
How do we look?
A regular friend, or...
Hey, Ishida Ren, will I adjust soon?
The fact that you are not here?
This area has changed a lot in the past 10 years.
That building there,
and that building there...
and of course this path wasn't here either.
The city changed so much in just 10 years.
As the city changes, so do the people.
I won't love you. Right. I definitely won't love you.
Thanks for clarifying that.
Whoever gets married first will get 100,000 yen of celebratory money.
Ishida, are you okay?
I'm fine.
After this, we have a video conference with Tokyo headquarters,
a meeting with potential tenants,
and we also have our regular departmental meeting.
We have dinner with Mr. Pan.
Our schedule is swamped every single day!
I'm actually grateful.
If anything, I want it to be even busier!
But I don't like it! Section Chief will break down!
Mitarai Yo�,
If I went to a city without you,
I thought I'd be able to forget you.
But I was wrong. I want to see you...
I want to hear your voice...
even as I await your call that will never come.
It's extremely helpful to be very busy at a time like this.
I can withhold my impulse to call Ren.
Is this already an addiction?
At random moments,
I intensely want to hear Ren's voice.
DIANA
What is this?
It's DIANA's home page within METEOR's page.
What?
You didn't know this, either?
I saw it for the first time today.
Really? You didn't do it?
Me? Why would I?
Aoe, she's not the type to do such a thing.
I told every single media
to post this one, the one Aoe designed.
I'm sorry. It's my oversight.
I liked this design, too.
Well, this is not good when they do things like this.
Maybe I need to reconsider working with METEOR.
Right.
Good morning.
- Good morning.- Good morning.
Executive Director! It's my responsibility.
Please come this way.
Alright, let's leave it to her.
Yes...
Conference Room
The home page of our company on your website...
what's the meaning of this?
Oh, this?
We've told you about the image we are using for this season.
You changed the home page without our knowledge.
Please change it back to the original picture.
I see.
For us, what are these called, "pumps for daily use"?
This would be more effective.
The shoe in your picture is a nice one, I suppose.
But it's not something everyone can wear.
Then there will be some customers we can't target.
However, the face of the brand is the guide and pride
of our designers as well as our employees.
Then why did you enter partnership with us?
That's...
It's so that more people will know your company, right?
So naturally there is going to be a different sales strategy.
I chose this because this is more suitable for the general public!
That's it.
Even so...
Our policy is sales first.
We push something that sells more. Or...
are you telling us to prioritize your company's pride?
I got it. Let's change it back .
Mitarai.
Indeed, I apologize for having changed it
without consulting you first. We will change it back.
Thank you.
I understand. We will change it back to the way it was.
Thank you very much.
It's not a pair that anyone can wear.
That sounds like someone I know.
Cheers!
This is delicious! It's the best!
Shurei, we are drinking in appreciation of Ishida.
Before you enjoy yourself, appreciate his work!
Appreciate his work?
Right.
Ishida is working a much heavier load than others.
Go get appetizers out of the fridge!
Aren't you two going out?
I think she's cute.
Not a chance! I've never seen her as a woman.
I've known her since I was a kid. We've known each other forever.
I had a buddy, too,
but unlike you and Yang, I actually liked her.
Thanks. Let's put it on a plate.
Plate.
But I was scared of being rejected,
so I stayed as her friend forever.
Where's your buddy right now?
She's going out with another guy.
That's very unfortunate.
Do you want me to set you up with someone?
No...
Then, Ishida, how about me?
Just kidding!
It's not funny at all! (In Chinese.)
Why are you so upset?
I'm not upset.
You are upset.
I'm not upset.
You are so upset!
I'm not upset.
Don't be upset. Drink up.
I envy these two. They still have a chance.
Everyone! Stop what you are doing for now and listen.
Some of you may already know,
Aoe in the Product Development Team
will transfer to Shanghai!
Congratulations!
A word.
It was my dream to work abroad ever since I started this job.
I'm grateful for this opportunity.
I'm going to take this opportunity
to make my son bilingual!
So Aoe will be gone now, but I'm still counting on your hard work!
- Yes.- Please get back to work.
Chief Mitarai, about Meteor...
thank you.
Not at all. I'm sorry for having caused you trouble.
I'm sorry that I doubted you.
I caused quite a bit of problems for you.
I couldn't work overtime, I'd sometimes leave early.
I honestly thought you didn't like me.
Actually, it was you who disliked me.
Oh no, you knew?
- I knew.- Oh no!
See you.
Um...
It's amazing you're raising your son alone,
and you're now going to Shanghai.
Please take care of yourself, all the best.
Thank you. I was really happy that you said you liked that design.
I bought it.
- I knew it.- You knew it?
- You are quite a challenger.- Really?
- You chose laced.- It's gorgeous.
DIANA
Could you re-stock this?
- I got it.- Thank you.
Hey, Yo.
You don't want to go in the store right now.
Why not?
Remember that customer with a claim from a while back?
The one who forced us to refund shoes she'd obviously worn.
I don't want it to be repaired! I want to return it!
Ah! That customer! What about her?
She's here at the store, and she's asking for you.
Then I'll go.
Hey hey! Yo, you can stay here.
If you go, things might get complicated.
I'll go.
Thanks.
Stay.
Huh?
Mizusawa Ryusei
Sorry I'm late.
I had to work.
I see.
I'm really sorry.
Are you upset?
No...
I was actually not that fond of Aoe.
But I'm glad I got to talk to her before she went to Shanghai.
I see.
Then a claimer customer came,
but I didn't handle it too well. I need to work on it.
Because bringing a claim implies they're counting on us.
I think communication is critical in those situations.
So your communication time with me is secondary?
I'm sorry. Today, I had work.
I know. I get it, but still...
I'm sorry.
I'm a bit tired today, so I'm a bit worked up.
I see.
Our timing is really off...
I'm sorry.
I appreciate you coming here,
but I want to shower and go to bed.
I got it.
Mitarai/i>
Ishida Ren, Shanghai
Right. I'm just going to hear his voice to make sure he's fine.
It has no meaning.
What are you doing, Dad?
Cigarette? I thought you quit.
You quit for six months. You said it would be easy.
That's what I thought.
I thought I was fine now...
but yesterday, I got a cigarette from someone.
Please don't tell your mom.
Sure.
But you really should quit cigarettes.
I know.
I need to quit, too.
Ishida Ren, Shanghai
Ishida Ren
The call cannot be answered right now.
Please leave a message after the beep.
I'm sorry.
I was just wondering how you were doing.
I just wanted to hear your voice.
No, I guess I can't hear your voice.
It's fine.
Even if this ends up as me talking to myself,
I just had a lot of things I wanted to tell you.
Hey listen, today,
a claimer customer visited us.
I guess it's weird to say "visited."
But I couldn't take care of her.
That's not good, right? I need to work on that.
Well, she came before,
and I couldn't get it right.
I didn't get it right this time, either.
The fact she came again means that she expects a lot from us, right?
So...
I figured I'd have to get my act together.
I wonder what you would say, Ren.
Yo, how are you?
The fact you haven't called me probably means you're fine.
I'm fine, too.
I'm adjusting quite well here,
but I still haven't adjusted...
to a life without you. No matter how boring it is...
I want to hear your voice, Yo.
This back strap,
this "side open" one, why was it taken off the products list?
You know why, because there were others that would sell more.
Then why didn't you say something first?
If I did, you'd oppose it.
I am Executive Advisor--
Let's stop this nonsense!
You should know it yourself,
why you have this vague title of Executive Advisor!
What do you mean?
You are very intimate with the CEO.
And nowadays, political correctness
demands valuing women.
So we had no other choice.
Excuse me. I'm late.
What's the matter?
Nothing. Excuse me.
Sorry, could you step out for a second?
Yes.
What's wrong? What happened?
Nothing. Nothing happened.
I see.
Don't push yourself too hard.
I'm not pushing myself.
But our private life is suffering, too.
I know you love to work...
but I want you to value our quality time together, too.
I take pride in selling shoes!
I know. You were selling shoes and that's why we were able to meet.
But... people can't stay the same forever.
That's why I want you to value our alone-time together.
So you are unhappy if I continue to work?
Are you telling me to quit work?
Yo, don't you love me?
What are you saying?
Then why not prioritize me more?
I think I prioritize you.
More than work?
So?
Then I'll ask you...
if some major trouble happened with your work,
and at the same time if something happened to me, which would you pick?
Can't you answer that unless you consult with Ishida?
Why would you mention Ren now?
We'll just get into an argument even if we continue to talk.
I'm going to China today. I won't be back for a week.
While I'm gone, take your time and think about it.
I'm...
Oh? Shurei?
Ishida!
What? Are you here to see Yang?
No! I happened to be in the neighborhood.
I'm sorry that I came to work.
Hm, Yang is out right now.
If he's not here, that's fine. I'll go.
Good day!
Shurei.
I apologize if I'm wrong, but...
do you like Yang?
Of course! We are buddies!
The other day,
I told you that my long-time love ended, right?
You are in the middle of the shock of lost love.
Right.
I've loved her forever,
but I was scared of being rejected, so I became her best friend.
Do you regret it?
Time is a one way street.
I don't want you to make the same mistake.
That looks good.
- You scared me.- Huh?
Oh, wait, um...
I was just doodling to take a break from overtime...
You want to do design?
No, really, I was just taking a break.
What are you doing here so late, Aoe?
My son is spending the night at my ex's house.
I need to finish up before I head to Shanghai.
Let me see it.
No! It's embarrassing.
- It's not embarrassing.- It really is.
Yang!
Are you busy today?
I'm just watching Shanghai SIPG F.C. game on TV,
so nothing much.
Would you be interested in earning some income at my place?
Earning some income?
How is your schedule? (In Chinese.)
The pronunciation "fan bien"is important.
Fan bien?
Fa, fa, fan, fan.
Fan bien. Bien.
- Fan bien?- Fan bien.
What does it mean?
Your pronunciation is really good.
You are welcome. (In Chinese.)
Well, when you're married, you can't work the same as before.
I can't imagine it at all.
But you are both working and raising your child, too.
We're just barely managing it all.
Being a single mother was much harder than I imagined it to be.
Thanks.
What was the reason you divorced?
- Sorry, it's personal.- Oh, not at all. It's the past.
When I got married, I was stuck with work.
I guess I got married seeking refuge, and that wasn't good.
It merely added another opponent to battle.
Opponent to battle?
Every time I would complain about things,
"You should just quit. It's not a big deal to quit work."
That's what my ex-husband told me. It's a big deal to me!
Well,
I was agitated that I was raising a child and working, too.
Is that so?
It's very annoying. I don't' know how many times I threw a fit.
That's so you, Aoe.
But my ex-husband and I weren't suited to each other anyway.
It's strange.
Why do we fall in love with someone who's not right for us?
- That's not right...- When I see people
with wide feet forcing their feet into pointed shoes,
I think, "Take a look at your own feet. Take care of yourself."
But I can't do it, either.
Right?
METEOR, Lisa Kazama
- Excuse me.- Oh, go ahead.
Hello?
I'm Kazama, the secretary!
Mr. Mizusawa was in a car accident in Suzhou, China.
We're getting the details right now. I'll call you when we know more.
What? An accident?
Is something wrong?
My boyfriend got in a car accident in Suzhou, China.
What? Wait.
Mitarai, do you know anything more?
No, not yet.
Car accident
Nothing is on here. If we know someone! Shanghai branch!
Oh no! Their work hours are over at this time.
- Ah! What about his cell? Call it!- Yes.
Mizusawa Ryusei
It won't connect.
A message. Send him a message.
Mizusawa Ryusei
I will prioritize Yo over work, anybody else or anything.
He loves me so much...
but I kept on thinking about myself.
I didn't try to accept his feelings.
What's the point of crying?
If you cry, you'll get more confused.
Don't waste your time crying! Think! What can you do now?
Cry after that.
But...
There's Ren!
I guess that's about it.
You did well.
Good job. (In Chinese.)
Thank you, Teacher Yang.
;Not at all.
Mitarai Yo
Hello, Yo?
I got it. I'll look into it.
I'll call you as soon as I know something.
Hold on, okay?
I'll tell the Shanghai branch. Once you're there,
let me know if you need anything.
- And call when you know something.- Yes.
Mitarai! Be strong!
- Thank you very much.- Go on now.
- I'm off. Thank you.- Good luck.
- Be careful! Don't get hurt!- Thank you.
- Do be careful!- Yes!
Yang, there was a car accident in Suzhou.
It's my best friend's fiancé. Could you look into it?
Okay, then let me contact Shurei for now.
Shurei?
She has connections with the police department through work.
She does? Then please!
Let's call the police and hospitals for now.
I got it.
Is there a Japanese man (In Chinese.)
brought in on emergency from a car accident?
Do you have Japanese patients there?
I got it. Thank you.
Do you have a Japanese patient there?
You do?
Is he about 50?
No.
Shurei.
Can you call the police? (In Chinese.)
Sure.
I want to know the details about the car accident
that happened in Suzhou< involving a Japanese man.
I see. Which hospital?
Understood. Thank you.
Got it.
He was taken to Suzhou Angel Hospital at the outskirts of Suzhou.
It's about three hours from here.
Let's go now!
Yo, I know the hospital Mizusawa was taken to. I'm heading there now.
I'll call you once I know more.
Angel Hospital
Thank you for being alive.
Ishida?
Stay still.
Why are you here?
Yo is on her way here.
Show her that you are alive.
How's Ryusei?
He's in this room.
Ryusei!
You came?
Yes.
The oncoming car crashed into us.
I thought I was going to die.
While I was losing consciousness...
I felt glad that it happened before we got married.
I vowed...
that I will never make you...
sad again.
Please marry me right now.
Is that true?
It's really true.
Hey, are you okay?
Thank you so much.
I will make you happy, for sure.
Room 202
Where's Ren?
Ishida had a rush job. He went back already.
He said to send you his regards.
Ah, I see. Thank you very much.
Ishida Ren, Shanghai
Ishida Ren
This call cannot be answered right now.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Ren...
I can't talk to you directly right now...
so I'll leave you a message again.
Thank you...
for doing everything you could all night, for me.
I...
decided today...
to get married to Ryusei.
I want you to celebrate it, too.
But let me tell you this.
I...
will be happy for sure.
This will be the last call.
Thank you.
My dearest best friend.

15: I Don't Love You YetPlease let me marry Yo!
Hello! I told her how you felt.
You go for it.
Do you love Ishida? (In Chinese.)
What about me?
They were talking about having a reunion
using my wedding as an excuse.
Listen to it.
It's about you. Setsuna Boys
I can't not love you anymore, Yo!
