Fuyutsuki-kun...

I missed you.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Hidden Desires 🤫💖 Team@viki.com

Sorry. I promised to come get you, but...

I'm sorry.

Natsuno?

We found Mommy.

What's wrong?

Do you feel unwell?

Yeah.

Then we should head home for the day.

- Sorry. - No, it's all right.

So much for today.

Aren't you glad we found Mommy?

You're glad, right?

Fuyutsuki-kun...

is alive.

[My Precious] [Episode 4]

[Terrorist Attack in Mevirino Republic]

[Japanese Citizen Fuyutsuki Ryo-san, Earlier Reported Dead, Is Alive]

I'm happy that he is alive.

However...

Miwa?

Are you okay?

I couldn't fall asleep.

It's nothing.

Don't worry.

- I'll go make some tea. - Let me do it.

- No, but... - Sit down.

You can drink herb tea, right?

Please, Hiroki...

Don't be so kind to me.

Hey, Miwa. Miwa...

Miwa, Miwa, watch out.

Shall I take the day off today?

- No. I'm fine. - Are you sure?

Gosh, it's burnt.

I'll fry another one.

Hey.

Did something happen?

I went to see her.

But...

She probably didn't want to see me.

Like you said,

I'm the only one who thinks

she was waiting for me.

You see—

- Hello? - This is Tsujimura from the library.

Yes, may I help you?

I managed to get Kanzaki-san's contact number.

- What? - Seems like she exchanged contacts with Tamura-san

when they were working at the flea market.

Really?

Please hold on a minute.

Fuyutsuki can talk to you about anything, right?

Yeah, I wonder who he thinks I am.

But it isn't the same for you, right?

What?

Can you talk to Fuyutsuki about anything?

Shouldn't you tell him about how you feel one day?

Whenever Fuyutsuki and I go for ramen, he always gives me his boiled egg.

I thought it was nice of him to do that,

but it's because he hates eggs.

No way.

We're always together, so I thought I knew everything about him,

but I realized there were things about him that I didn't know.

There are plenty of things that can only be understood when expressed in words,

especially things that are important to you.

Risa.

I feel that he's someone who takes people's feelings to heart.

Okay.

Got it.

[What is Post-Natal Depression?] [Symptoms, Causes, and Methods for Post-Natal Care]

Kanzaki-san.

Seems like there's a company recommended by Natural Foods Company for investment-related matters.

Could you handle that?

Got it. I'll be there right away.

Thank you.

I missed you.

[Long time no see! I bet you remember Fuyutsuki-san who previously worked with us at the flea market.]

[I've given him your contact details.]

What should I do?

[Natsuno]

How did it go?

The call. Did you manage to get through?

No.

Here I am working so hard,

while someone's heart just isn't in his work.

Sorry.

Listen, Fuyutsuki.

We have a dream to succeed in our fair trade business and build a school once again.

It's a dream that we have with Shimohara, and I don't want it to end.

I must achieve this dream.

I don't want to give it up.

But I can't do this alone.

You must help me.

I need you, Fuyutsuki.

I know that this person is important to you,

but I hope you can also give serious thought to what we're doing here.

Sorry about it.

Let's refocus. Things are gonna get busier.

Looks like we can get in contact with a major trading company,

so you have to start looking for stores

that are willing to carry fair trade products.

Roger that.

- I'm off. - See you.

Miwa, what's wrong?

What?

You seem to be lost in your thoughts lately.

Maybe I'm just imagining things.

Sorry to make you worry.

I read that women can feel down due to a hormonal imbalance postpartum.

Perhaps you know that better than I do.

But you haven't been sleeping well at night,

and you've been taking care of Shiori and the house on your own during the day.

I'm just tired, that's all.

Hey, I'm serious. Don't push yourself too hard.

Let me know if there's something wrong.

Work-wise, I can manage.

What's important is your well-being.

And Shiori's, of course.

Okay.

Thank you.

Come on, we don't know when she'll wake up again.

Let's quickly go to sleep.

Yeah.

Good night.

Good night.

[Cafe TOCA]

Postnatal care? What's that?

Guess I asked the wrong person.

How rude!

It's about moms feeling overwhelmed after the baby is just born, right?

W-Well, yeah, sort of...

She can't sleep and always has things on her mind.

And it seems hard for her to tell me about it.

I guess there are things that only women would understand.

For a man, when it comes to a woman's true feelings, ignorance is bliss.

What are you talking about?

Like you, maybe your wife wants to slack off from work and has a complaint or two to let out.

True. She can't slack off from taking care of a baby.

She can, can't she?

Say what?

Raising a child isn't the mother's job alone.

Of course, there may be things that only mothers can do,

but there are things that you can do for her, no?

You're right.

I'm talking big, but actually I couldn't do anything.

[Call History: 080 5300 212]

Sure, I will give you a call again.

Yes. Thank you. Goodbye.

­[Natsural Cotton Studio - Yamamoto-san]

[Natsuno]

[Natsuno]

Hello? Good day to you.

Good evening.

Hiroki-san, it's you.

I'm surprised at how nice your store is.

What brings you here?

Well, I came to speak with you.

Did Miwa tell you anything that's of concern lately, Makoto-chan?

Not really.

I thought it might be due to postnatal fatigue,

but it seems like she's bothered by something.

She's a new mom, after all, so I'm sure she's having it rough.

I want to do something for her, but I don't know what I can do.

- You're also a new dad, after all. - Yeah.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

What could it be?

I guess it's physically draining,

so she may be happy to have some time away from the baby.

- Is that so? - Yeah.

- Thank you for the tea. - No problem.

It's delicious.

But what about you? Are you feeling okay, Hiroki-san?

Pardon?

Actually, I happened to see you on your way to work and you seemed to be in pain.

I couldn't bring myself to call out to you.

Oh, you saw that?

Could you be suffering from mental anxiety?

- Yeah, kind of. I work for a major company, after all. - Right.

It must be tough for you.

Sorry for being so nosy.

I didn't tell Miwa, so please keep it a secret.

Sure. I know you don't want her to worry.

Yeah.

But I'm absolutely fine now, thanks to Shiori and Miwa.

Glad to hear that.

In that case, is it okay if I invite Miwa out for a meal?

Yes, thank you. I'll take care of Shiori.

Thank you so much.

I'll call her later then.

- Lend an ear to her story, please. - No worries.

You're drinking so much milk. Is it yummy?

Is it yummy?

[This is Fuyutsuki. Sorry for the sudden text. Natsuno, as long as you...]

Sorry, Miwa. Can you bring over a towel?

Sure.

I'm back.

Welcome back.

Risa, do you have a moment?

Can I take the day off tomorrow?

I promise this will be the last time.

Got it.

You won't listen even if I try to stop you.

Get your butt out there.

Thanks.

This is Fuyutsuki.

Sorry for the sudden text.

Natsuno, as long as you are living happily, I am happy.

So, I hope to meet you

and talk to you one last time.

I'll be waiting for you under that water tower.

I'll also finish work at 6 P.M. today.

- Sure. - Or should I come home earlier?

N-No, it's fine.

Really?

- I'm off then. - See you.

[This is Fuyutsuki. Sorry for the sudden text. Natsuno, as long as you...]

What's wrong?

Things look peaceful on your side. How nice.

It's hell at my end.

I thought it had been going smoothly.

Shinozaki, I heard you're managing it well.

That doesn't make me happy at all.

The pressure on me only gets worse because of you, Kanzaki-san.

How scary.

Kanzaki, the folks from the startup company are here for your appointment.

I'll be there right away.

Thank you.

Do your best, Shinozaki. You can do it.

What the hell?

[Tri Ambition Corporation]

- Fair trade, you say? - That's right.

We are working to improve the harsh labor conditions

and the lives of the locals for the better.

My business partner, Fuyutsuki, is also working on this with me.

He has lived with the locals for a long time

and is working with each and every one of them

to change the environment.

Each and every one of them?

By working and sweating it out with them.

At one point, he even stayed over at one of the workers' homes

and didn't come back for months on end.

Wow...

To cherish the connections between people.

That's the motto Fuyutsuki lives by.

He's someone who can stand on equal ground with anyone, right?

Exactly.

Though there are times when things get out of hand if he gets too carefree.

But he has more creativity and initiative than anyone else.

He has a knack for capturing people's hearts.

Sounds like he's a wonderful person.

Yes, he is.

I hope to meet him someday.

Is it okay if I bring him here to visit you next time?

Please do.

Thank you very much.

I'm now a mother with a child.

You're hungry, aren't you?

There's no way I can hear your voice

or see your face anymore.

What's up, Makoto?

Miwa-san, wanna go out for lunch with me this Saturday?

What?

Mummies need to go out for some fresh air once in a while.

But I have to take care of Shiori,

so I can't afford to go out for meals yet.

I've found a babysitter for you.

Babysitter?

Fuyutsuki?

It's over.

What?

Everything is over.

Life goes on. You know that, right?

"We'll just start from scratch again if we fail." I wonder who always says that.

Who said that?

Someone who's honest to a tee

and a little troublesome.

Let's move on.

Hiroki?

Sorry, did I wake you up?

What are you doing?

I figured we can eat it tomorrow if I prepare in advance.

But I haven't done this for so long,

so it's proving to be quite challenging.

Welcome back.

- What? - Miwa, I'm making your favorite cream stew right now.

You've been rather tired lately, haven't you?

At times like this, you must eat well and sleep well.

- But Hiroki, you're busy with work too, no? - It's fine.

Wait, it's not what you think.

I haven't cleaned up yet, so it just looks a little dirty.

- It looks messy. - I did cut them, though.

It's okay. I like it the way it is.

Eating the stew you cook will perk up my day, Hiroki.

- Is this okay? - I think you should cut it down further.

It's still messy as always.

Sorry.

Thank you.

Miwa, listen.

You see...

I treasure the moments we have together right now.

I should have listened to what you said

and considered having children earlier.

I'm really sorry for everything.

It's a wonderful thing to start a family, isn't it?

Yeah.

Thanks to Shiori,

I'm able to smile the way I do now.

I'm grateful, both to Shiori and to you.

I...

I love you, Miwa.

Miwa?

Sorry.

Don't be.

I said that all of a sudden, you must be...

Thank you.

I'm feeling kind of hungry.

Shall we eat a little?

I wonder if I have prepared everything.

You've been helping me a lot lately...

Even mothers need to have a break sometimes.

Shiori won't like it if Mommy feels down, right?

Oh, right! What about the milk feeds?

It's fine. Leave it to me.

Makoto-chan is also looking forward to meeting you. Hurry up and go.

- Okay... - Take your time.

Thank you.

I'll be back.

- Say bye-bye. - See you.

See you back home.

- Hello. - Miwa-san!

- Hello. - I have a last-minute meeting later.

Can you wait for me?

- Sure, no problem. - So sorry.

I have a herbal tea to recommend.

- Shin-chan! - Yes?

- One chamomile herb tea for Miwa-san. - Sure, right away.

Miwa-san, just tell me about anything under the sun.

Though you and I have an age gap, I consider you a dear friend.

So, just tell me whatever's on your mind.

- Say, Makoto. - Yes?

What will you do if something you thought you lost suddenly appeared?

What? Simple.

I'll make sure I won't lose it ever again.

What if I already have something important to me

and that thing can no longer be within my reach?

You came across a present from your ex-boyfriend?

No, it's not that.

You've found something new that's important to you,

but I'm sure there's also value in the thing that you once lost.

So, I'll be thankful for that while saying goodbye to it.

Say goodbye?

If that present is bothering you, I can take it from you.

I don't mean that.

Good afternoon.

- Hello. - Sorry I'm late.

No worries. Please have a seat.

Over here, please.

Sure.

- Let me get you a drink. - Thank you.

Fair trade, you said?

That's right.

We are wondering whether you could carry our products in your store.

These are the coffee beans handled by our company.

- Sorry for disturbing you the other day. - They're from Africa...

Oh, it's fine.

Your baby was really adorable.

It feels comforting to see your baby's face.

What's the matter?

Sorry.

The coffee's flavor changes depending on how you brew it...

Is your husband taking care of the baby today?

- Y-Yes. - I see.

What a great daddy indeed.

Perhaps we can discuss further after you bring the samples over for me to take a look.

Fuyutsuki-san?

Oh, that would be great.

So sorry that I was late for our appointment.

Don't worry. We will contact you again.

- Thank you very much. - No problem.

- I shall take my leave then. - Sure.

Thank you. See you again.

I'll be ready in a minute, so just a little while longer, okay?

Miwa-san, are you worried about Shiori?

We can have a meal next time then.

Sorry.

Don't be. I'm sure Shiori-chan misses her mommy, too.

- I'm really sorry. - No problem.

What's wrong?

I guess she can't help it.

Moms tend to feel anxious when they're away from their babies.

I see.

Oh no! I forgot to pass this to her!

Do you think I can catch her?

Maybe if you run?

Fuyutsuki-kun, sorry. Where are you now?

Thank you.

I didn't think we would ever meet again.

That store belongs to my friend.

I see.

I'm sorry for how I reacted that day.

You suddenly appeared at the library...

and I didn't know what to do.

Don't be.

I'm sorry for doing that to you.

I didn't answer your call

or meet you.

I couldn't clarify things with you,

but I felt that I should give you a proper explanation.

You see...

I've given birth to a baby.

I've patched things up with my husband.

I want to

cherish this child and the family I have now.

So...

I'm sorry.

It's fine, as long as you're happy, Natsuno.

When I was on the brink of death,

a thought flashed through my mind.

Meeting you again was the best gift that God has given me.

So, thank you.

Be it back then or right now,

you've come to my rescue time and again, Fuyutsuki-kun.

Whenever the going gets tough,

you've always cheered me up.

You don't know how thankful I am to you for saving me.

You...

have also given me a very precious gift.

♫ Why do people cling to dreams that never came true? ♫

Thank you.

♫ Why do people cling to dreams that never came true? ♫

That's why...

This may be selfish of me,

but I also pray

that you will be happy.

♫ That day, that moment gave me a reason to live ♫

♫ If you say it's a sin to go on like this... ♫

I'm so happy that you're alive.

♫ Then tomorrow and forever after ♫

♫ for the only precious thing ♫

♫ even if I end up hurting someone tomorrow ♫

I'm sorry.

♫ even if I end up hurting someone tomorrow ♫

I...

♫ I'll embrace the pain and the fear ♫

I couldn't do anything at all.

You are already married, Natsuno.

I shouldn't have been in love with you.

♫ Is it daybreak or nightfall ♫

And I couldn't go find you...

though you were waiting for me.

♫ I know it's not there anymore ♫

My dream...

♫ but I keep looking for it ♫

The people important to me...

♫ What shall I name the color of the sky? ♫

♫ If you say it's a sin to think of it as beautiful... ♫

And you, Natsuno...

I couldn't protect a single one of them.

♫ Then tomorrow and forever after ♫

♫ for the only precious thing ♫

♫ Even if I feel lost and discouraged ♫

♫ I'll embrace the pain and the fear ♫

♫ and go on living ♫

♫ As the scattered light left in the sky ♫

♫ Then tomorrow and forever after ♫

Now, now, now, now...

Mommy will be back home soon.

She's coming home, she's coming home soon.
