♪ The time I spent with my friends is precious memories. ♪
Nanaka is late.
All her friends came out already.
Do you know where Nanaka is?
I didn't see her.
Yui, come on.
Nanaka.
Nanaka!
Mama!
Nanaka...
Where have you been?
Over there.
Nanaka!
Aoi-chan!

Holiday Love
It's fun to roll sushi on our own.
[Episode 8: New Hope]
Right now, I'm looking at Junpei with pleasant feelings.
Although we've been through hell,
it was only one mistake.
I'm ready to put everything behind us.
Nanaka, what do you want to eat next?
Egg and cucumber.
Okay.
Eating with Junpei.
Nanaka's smiling face.
I've learned that
those things bring me joy.
Cherishing
the dining table where everyone gathers
is my happiness.
What's wrong, Azu?
- I put in too much wasabi. (Horseradish) - What?
- Hey. - Why did you?
- Is this really strong? - Yeah.
Oh right.
What is the meaning of a "future mother?"
What?
- A future mother? - Yeah.
Where did you hear that?
Some strange lady told me.
When?
Well... today.
Where?
It was... at my kindergarten.
Nanaka, how and what kind of person told you that?
Can you describe it to me?
Well...
After the graduation ceremony,
when I was leaving with the rest of my friends,
a strange lady wanted to talk to me.
What did you talk to her about?
She asked my favorite food.
Also my favorite place.
As we were saying bye-bye...
I'm your future mother.
Your future mother.
I bet
the person must be Rina.
I'm pretty sure too.
What if something bad happens to Nanaka?
Do you think... we should call her husband?
Hello, this is Izutsu.
This is Takamori.
What is it?
Are you paying the consolation money?
Consolation money?
Sure.
I have the money so I'll deposit it right away.
My daughter's graduation ceremony was today.
Apparently...
a woman who looked like Rina showed up there.
She talked to my daughter.
She introduced herself as her future mother.
My husband has returned home.
So, please don't let her do it again.
Approaching my daughter...
I'm terrified to think if something happens to my daughter.
It's pointless to tell me that.
Our marriage is only on paper, since I severed all ties with her.
But...
Isn't she the mother of your children?
She is, but...
I don't think I can help you.
I'm sorry. Please excuse me.
We should consult with the police.
I also think we should.
- Yummy? - Yup.
I have to work in the afternoon.
So go stay at Asami's house.
Papa is coming to pick you up.
What's for dinner?
How about curry? Is curry okay for you?
Sure.
- You like curry, don't you? - I do.
Azu... You have a call.
Thanks.
Hello?
I was in an irresponsible mood over the phone the other day,
I'm so sorry.
I came to return this to you.
- Please accept it. - I can't.
We both suffered from this painful experience.
So please.
Like I said over the phone,
Rina and I are married only on paper.
And I'm not lying about that.
Even after we've separated, I still resent her so much.
I know I'm a little twisted.
I hate her as much as I love her.
However, now that I'm living without her,
I'm spending more time with the kids for the first time.
I've learned many things by watching the children.
I noticed that my son folds my laundry.
It's awkward coming from me, but...
He is a good boy.
Yes, he is.
You see. The person who raised my children to be so good
was Rina.
I must say, as a mother,
Rina did a pretty good job.
It's Papa's favorite,
hamburger steak.
Come on, sit down.
After spending time with your children,
if you feel that way,
then she must've been a very good mother to them.
And I truly felt
that I was not
qualified
to be a father and a husband.
Until now,
I was busy spending a lot of time at work.
In the beginning,
I only wanted to give Rina a good life
since she grew up in a poor family.
But gradually,
I started to show by my attitude,
"I'm working my butt off, don't you understand that?"
It's true that I worked to earn a living for my family.
But it's also true
that I neglected to care for my family before myself.
What I'm trying to say is...
It's my fault that
Rina turned out this way.
I know it's too late to notice this, but...
It may be too late.
But...
If it were me,
the moment I realized my faults,
I would think I'm being given a second chance to start my life over.
Hello.
Can you help me once again?
Not now, but later.
When there will be a rift between them.
Rift, you say.
I don't think that will happen.
Then we have to make one.
What are you planning on doing this time?
She fell for you once,
- so– - She won't, not anyone.
Because she's reconfirmed how important her husband is to her.
I think they'll live a happy life together forever.
Forever?
Besides, I have no intention of helping you.
That assault case of yours that you're hiding can still be exposed.
Your younger brother was a college student back then, but now he works at a major company.
Your efforts in running away and working finally paid off.
I know the company and the department he works in.
It will cause serious trouble for your younger brother–
I've already told everything to my brother.
So?
I'm turning myself in.
I will never... help you again.
Why?
If I keep running away,
I can never be happy for the rest of my life.
I've met someone who taught me that.
That's so lame.
What is lame is you.
Do you really believe
that Junpei is going to pay attention to you?
That will never happen.
Why don't you wake up?
Is that you, Rina?
Yes.
I will let you see the children.
Really?
Yes. Where are you now?
In Tokyo.
I see.
Tomorrow...
I will bring them... to Tokyo.
The toast is ready.
Hot.
- Kai, strawberry jam on your toast? - Yup.
Me too.
Kai, is this your outing wear?
Yup.
Is this good enough?
Kai, put this on.
Remi, come here.
Are we going out?
That's right. We're going to see Mama.
- Mama? - We can see Mama?
Yay! We can see Mama.
Where is Mama?
She would be here soon.
- Soon? - Yes.
It's Mama!
Mama!
Kai! Remi!
I'm sorry.
I missed you.
I missed you so much.
Rina. Isn't this enough?
What do you mean by enough?
Why don't you come back home?
Let's forget the painful memories of the past.
This is the starting point of our second life.
Are you kidding me?
It's just like bullying.
A bully can forget how he hurt others,
but the person who was bullied will remember it forever.
I'm taking the children.
All right.
Fine.
The person who made you the way you are now
was me.
I only thought of myself till now.
At least from now on,
I want to value the happiness of my children.
I'll support you financially as much as I can.
Kai and Remi...
please take good care of them.
That's a given.
Kai and Remi, let's go.
Papa?
Kai, you're a man.
Remi...
and Mama,
you must protect them.
Papa...
Okay, let's go, Kai and Remi.
I want to stay with Papa!
Me too.
What are you two saying?
I missed you guys so much.
I didn't abandon you, Kai and Remi.
I was always thinking of you two.
I'm sorry, Mama.
Timing and subtitles are brought to you by the Finally Together Team @ Viki.com
I didn't plan on showing myself before you again.
That woman, Rina Izutsu...
she hasn't given up.
She's up to something.
Something?
Just be very careful.
Take care.
[ELESiA]
I'm sorry. Let me wipe that off.
Are you alright? Are you not feeling well?
I'm fine. I'm sorry.
Azu...
Hello.
Please
stay away from my family.
Why is everyone saying the same thing again and again?
I've lost everything.
But why...
why haven't you lost a thing?
You, too,
have beautiful children.
Your husband realized his flaw and is willing to–
The children chose my husband.
Junpei and I were going to raise my children.
Nanaka can be part of my family too.
Why Junpei?
Why are you so obsessed with Junpei?
Obsessed?
Junpei is not your possession.
I should've married Junpei. Marrying my husband was a mistake.
How could you say that?
I don't remember exactly when it was.
I want to see the other side of the menu.
Hamburger steak is a classic menu item in a family restaurant.
- I know right? - Yes.
I want the kid's meal.
I'm starving.
You're starving, Nanaka?
I've noticed an ordinary family in an ordinary family restaurant.
The way they were laughing and having fun together
was ideal to me.
I was sincerely envious of that family.
At that moment...
Fire!
Everyone, please remain calm.
- Remi. - Please remain calm.
Nanaka, let's get out.
-Kai! - Please exit from here.
Get up right now.
- Kai! - Come on.
Let's go.
Okay. We're safe now. Where is your mom?
- Right there. - Kai!
- You found her. - Junpei.
I was worried for you.
- Are you two okay? - Yeah.
If I were that woman...
If that man was my husband...
Kai, does your cream soda taste good?
- Yup. - Good.
Remi, come over here.
Here we go. You are so cute, just like your mother.
So meeting Junpei at the wedding ceremony
in Shizuka wasn't a coincidence?
You made it seem like it was a coincidence?
I don't care about the trivial matters.
Your family may be nothing but ordinary to you,
but it's the ideal family that I dreamed of for years.
But why did I marry the wrong person?
What are you saying?
Let's talk about the future.
I don't mind, if you don't want to give up Nanaka.
I'll tell Junpei to take responsibility for you.
What do you mean by responsibility?
Of course, the child support.
Junpei... is my family.
- He is my husband-- - For now.
Junpei says the affair he had with you was a mistak–
No! He made a mistake by marrying you!
He just doesn't know it yet!
What can I do so you will understand?
That's my line. What can I do so you will understand?
You...
fantasized about Junpei and fell in love with him.
How can't you not understand that?
It's too bad that you don't get it.
Junpei and I
have decided to stay together.
So no matter what happens,
we are not going to be separated again.
No matter what happens...
That's right.
What does happiness mean to you?
If I can stay with Junpei, that's my happiness.
Then! What about Junpei's happiness?
Since you're not willing to live your own life,
you can't make anyone happy.
A married couple is originally two strangers.
But the marriage can not be sustained unless both want it.
I know we made a mistake.
There was a time when we couldn't trust each other.
However...
Even through that, we've decided to cherish each other from now on.
Because we both need each other in our lives.
That's
our answer as a married couple after all the hell we've been through.
Azu...
Junpei.
What are you doing here?
Did you come to my daughter's kindergarten?
Was it you who talked to Nanaka?
I just wanted... just...
- Just what? - I'm sorry.
I meant Nanaka no harm.
I was curious about your life in Tokyo.
Accidentally, I learned about the graduation ceremony.
Accidentally?
We were so worried about Nanaka because we couldn't find her.
I didn't mean to make you worry.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't help but talk to her since she was there in front of me.
Exposing Azu's pictures, was that your doing?
Don't you ever
show up in front of us.
By no means will I ever be with you.
No matter how many years or decades have passed,
no matter what happens, even if I die,
even if I get reborn, I will never want to be with you.
Leave here now.
Or else, I'll call the police.
Thank you to the everyone in Finally Together Team!

After that...
Mama, I want a refill.
She didn't show up anymore.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
We're living a peaceful life as if nothing had ever happened.
- Delicious, isn't it? - Yes.
However...
I feel like someone is watching me.
But it can be me just overthinking.
Let me see your right hand.
I hope to maintain our peaceful life.
- I'm off. - Have a good day.
I have a bad premonition.
Junpei...
And I wonder why I can't let it go.
Be safe.
Okay. I'm off.
- Junpei. - Oh, it's you, Koizumi.
- Why are you here? - I'm working at headquarters for two weeks.
Really?
Huh?
What is it? What's wrong?
What?
This mail about Junpei has been sent to all the employees.
What?
The heck?
[ Sender: Rina Izutsu. Subject: About Chief Takamori at Shizukao Komakita Branch.]
I'm Rina Izutsu who worked as a part-timer at the Shizuoka Branch.
I had an affair with Mr. Junpei Takamori, who was a Chief at that time.
The same Junpei Takamori who is standing right there.
We both had a family.
But we couldn't resist ourselves from being madly in love.
We loved each other.
We were in love.
But I've lost everything.
My house and my children...
Yes, that's my own fault.
But...
Junpei Takamori
is living his life as if nothing had ever happened.
He lied about nursing his mother, so he could transfer here to headquarters.
Even his wife forgave him and he comes to work here every day.
Is that acceptable?
- Is that really acceptable! - Stop it!
- Stop! Let go of me! Let go of me! - Stop it. Just leave.
- Stop. - It's not fair!
What a scumbag!
Go to hell!
Stop it! Let me go!
- Be quiet. - Let go of me! Let go of me!
Stop right there.
What happened to her after that?
Well, I don't know her condition, but she's still in a hospital.
Headquarters was in utter chaos.
She sent that email to all our employees in the entire country.
So he lied about his mother being sick.
How did this happen?
I'm sure he lied because he had no other choice.
What's is going to happen now?
He was asked to voluntarily resign.
How about his wife?
Who knows?
A woman can be more cunning than a man.
Don't be fooled by her looks and behaviors.
[A Few Months Later]
- What? - Haru, toss me that.
Wow! Okay, I caught it.
I think this is about to be done.
I'm putting the empty boxes here.
Okay, thanks.
- Azu. - Yes?
Are you taking this?
Ah, I should get rid of that.
That's pity.
It can't be helped.
If I take it,
we'll have no place to sleep since it's a small apartment.
You're right.
It's too bad he lost his job and the house.
It was inevitable.
- Right. - Yes.
We're home. We bought more packing tape.
- We're back. - Thank you. Good. Thank you.
- I need one. - One for you.
I need one too.
- Here, have some tea. - Thanks.
I'm sorry for making you help us on your day off.
Not at all. It was good exercise.
It's too bad that you had to sell the house.
But you're pretty fortunate that the house has sold already.
Not only that, you were able to find a new job too, Junpei.
- Yes. - Right.
It's all thanks to Azu that we're able to start over.
I've never imagined my mistake could cause this family such a tremendous loss.
Being sorry for the things of the past won't help us.
What's is important right now is to keep moving forward.
We can always start over from zero.
It's fine since we're not losing anything else.
It's good that I have a job.
As long as we're together, we can survive.
I can't thank her enough. My wife is so reliable.
- I know right? - Yes.
Ah, marriage...
How is your partner hunting going?
No progress. I've been busy, you know.
My customer told me there's a good blind date party.
All the participants have good references and are serious about marriage.
Isn't it okay to meet your partner at a blind date party nowadays?
Hmm, I suppose so.
Yah, you guys helped us so much.
So we got done fairly quickly.
Thank you so much.
Now... should we drink?
- Why not? - I'll go buy some liquor.
I'll come too.
Can you buy me smoked quail's eggs?
Yes, ma'am.
What happened to Rina?
Ah, I heard she survived.
I see.
Not everyone can have the things they want.
Even if the person is feeling sad,
it's all depends on the person's perspective.
It's fortunate to have someone precious.
As long as that person is happy and smiling, it should be enough.
If everyone thought that way,
everyone could be happy.
A lot has happened in the past.
I bought this house here right after we got married.
There were ups and downs.
Everyone comes to a hair salon hoping to become pretty.
But a lot of husbands don't notice the changes.
That must be so disappointing.
Because his not noticing means
he's not looking at his wife.
I will continue to be a husband who looks only at my wife.
Good.
Wait. I forgot to buy the quail's eggs.
What? Let's go back.
- Seriously? - Asami will scold us.
It's time for male participants to move to the next seat.
Nice to meet you. My name is Izutsu.
I'm Asami Tachibana.
Well, I've been divorced once.
Me too.
I've learned a lot from the previous marriage.
So I hope not to make the same mistakes.
I understand.
Hello, CEO.
Good work.
We should go watch a movie together.
I predict we'll have two couples today.
Ms. Reika?
Mrs. Azu.
It's been a while.
Have you been well?
Yes. You look well.
I am.
Mama, let's go.
Okay.
See you.
You and your husband...
I knew you two were "twin souls."
Your fated man.
I'm not interested in that sort of thing.
Sorry about that.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
- Go. - Go-go.
What a great aura.
♫ The bare truth ♫
♫ no one's looking at a such thing ♫
Azu, I'll make sure that you'll be happy.
I'm very happy.
(Our marriage started out pure white.)
(Our future was filled with hopes and expectations.)
(And we were hoping our future would be nothing but bright.)
(But from behind,)
Your husband is...
(doubts and betrayals crept up on us.)
(Just like black ink that spreads gradually.)
I can't trust you anymore.
(Once it turns black,)
( it will never turn back to white again.)
It's been two months, hasn't it?
But now I understand
that's the way a life is.
Noticing someone's kindness...
Or something unexpected happens...
I'm off.
Meeting someone unexpectedly.
I love your hamburger steak.
All the events in life,
add more color
to our lives to make it unique.
Okay, Nanaka. Let's take a picture.
- Ready? - Look over here.
- One plus one is.. - Two.
The same goes for a married couple.
I believe only warm colors will be added to our marriage.
Mama, can you come here?
I'm coming.
So from the pure white, create your own unique color.
That's what a marriage is all about.
What kind of color it will be...
is entirely up to us.
