Seiichi,

Mister Seiichi

Sir Seiichi

Sei-chan

You smell.

Ouch.

You drank too much.

Ouch...

Nice job Saito did on his friend the night before his wedding.

Water.

You've got to look after yourself.

You OK?

What do you wanna do about today?

What do you wanna do?

Me? I'm gonna head over to the hall soon.

Well...

What time is it now? - 6:30.

Isn't it a bit early?

The brides has to be there early.

But.

It's 10 minutes to the station,

another 10 to Tachikawa by monorail,

5 minutes for the transfer,

well, 10 for you.

And then to Kinshicho, with a transfer in Ochanomizu, it's 50 minutes.

75 minutes max.

Guess you're right, better to be early.

Quicker is...

Better!

Right.

I see.

"Mother"

Mizuno Seiichi, Makita Eiko

Hello, Mom

I'm leaving soon.

Yeah, I know.

I'll call you when I get there.

I Love Thee For Good

Nope! I'm sleepy.

Guess no discount studio rental tonight.

What time's today's wedding again?

Sleepy...

What time should be at the wedding hall?

Well, at 10:00

10:00 or 10:30.

Ok. Let's do it!

I set up the mic.

Let's go!

Dear, Seiichi,

I might not be able to give you this letter.

Because it's about stuff you probably don't want to know about.

I never meant to hurt you.

I think I ought to keep this secret to myself.

But I know I need to write this.

I can't keep this bottled up inside.

I had sex with another man.

Please wait here a moment.

Please wait here a moment.

He was my ex-boyfriend.

He had been a good friend to me even after we broke up.

Three months ago, after that big fight we had about my job,

I needed someone to talk to.

So I went to see him and that's when it happened.

saw him 2 or 3 times after that,

and that was it.

But I realize that today,

the day of the wedding, the truth will come out.

Eiko.

Ma'am.

Please take a good care of Seiichi, today.

Uh, yes.

A letter?

To your father?

Um, yes.

He says "I'm going to be so lonely."

I think he's going to cry.

It just proves how much he loves you.

Do you think so?

Please get changed here.

I'll let you know when everything is ready.

Thank you.

Eiko, wait. I'll be right there.

It's me.

Hurry up. You're embarrassing me.

Oh, it's you, mom.

Oh my,

He hung up. Amazing

Seiichi was out late drinking with Saito last night.

How embarrassing.Disgusting I'm sorry, Eiko-chan.

That's fine. It was his bachelor night.

Don't worry about that. You need to just rein him in.

He's so irresponsible sometimes. I'm sorry.

No no no. — Well it's all on you now.

Yes.

Hello Fujiko-san.

Hi, Mitsuko.

Eiko, aren't you ready yet? - I will be soon.

What are Dad and Jun doing?

Dad is reading the papers downstairs. Jun's around there somewhere too.

Where's Seiichi? He was out drinking with a friend from college. He'll be here later.

I really am sorry - Not at all.

Please excuse me for a minute.

What a dress.

Well, it suits her.

Good for her then.

Ok. That's all for now. Let's take 15 minutes.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Mom, are you happy you married dad?

What are you talking about?

Did you not hesitate when you got married?

I don't really remember, it was so long ago.

That's impossible.

What's the matter, all of a sudden?

Well, I just remembered the hole in the wall in the kitchen.

Oh that.

Well, your father is a bit hot tempered.

And things weren't great at work and he'd been drinking.

You went through a lot.

Mom,

Do you still love him?

Yes,

but it's not quite the same as you.

Congratulations on today!

My name is Saeki, and I'll be helping you get dressed.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,

Take this, please. — I can't accept this, Madame.

Please just take it.

Thank you very much. I will do my best.

Well, I'm off.

Eat the oranges.

Please look after her.

Yes, Ma'am.

The waiting room is over there. Shall we?

Yes.

"Just Engaged!"

Hello!

Which do you want? Tea or coke?

What?

A present.

Did your teacher ask you to do it?

No, it's from me.

Let me pay you.

No thanks.

I don't know you.

I can't accept gifts from strangers.

I see.

Well then, 100 yen.

That's too little.

You were watching me the whole time?

Yes.

It was embarrassing

I'm an object to everybody in that class. But you..

Did you manage to draw me well?

Looks like I like you.

You don't even know my name.

Narusawa Hisashi.

My heart ached when I saw you naked.

I don't even know your name.

Erina

What's this?

Give me that.

Hey, stop it. This is ridiculous.

Hey!

Hello?

Congratulations!

Good luck.

I think I need to tell Seichi about us.

Are you insane?

It goes a little something like that.

Yeah, just got here.

Maybe he's lost.

What's wrong?

You look so beautiful !

Wow.

Seiichi.

Thank you for everything.

Please take a good care of Eiko.

Father,

I promise that..

I will look after her for the rest of my life.

Thank you very much.

It is too early for that, Dad.

Please take care of my sister.

Can I call you my brother, Seiichi?

Of course.

Excuse me.

I see the groom has arrived.

Let's go to the waiting room.

Then I go, too.

I'll head downstairs too.

Are you OK?

Can I give it back after I've washed it?

OK.

You just saw the worst of me.

Yeah?

Why are you here?

Who knows.

You don't even know where I'm going.

Well, I like you.

You're pretty forward.

So, what's with the tears?

Will you leave me alone if I tell you?

Probably.

Sorry. Am I being a jerk?

Not really. It must be pretty confusing, getting hit on by someone so young.

My ex-girlfriend is getting married today.

Do you still love her?

I love her.

Well, I smile when I feel like crying.

My secret...

is going to grow out of control.

And it's going to hurt you.

Is walking away before that happens, the right thing to do?

Nice.

Yeah, the bridge is the hardest part.

From the beginning?

Excuse me.

Do you know what the bride, Makita Eiko isdoing?

Have we met?

I am Narusawa Hisashi we went to college together.

Could you give her a call? Let her know I'm here?

Sure. Then...

Wait here, please.

He must have taken me for staff.

I won't be long.

Yeah.

What are you doing here?

You're so selfish.

I thought you wouldn't come.

Well I'm selfish too,

but I thought about what you said.

You know, I have my doubts about marrying Seiichi.

Why are you hesitating now?

3 months ago, I thought you made up your mind.

Didn't you decide to quit your job and become a wife?

I'm still in love with you, even now.

But I cannot marry you.

If you want to get married now, I'm not your guy.

Though it's not easy being alone.

I want to have someone I love to talk to and listen to.

Sorry. Don't look so serious.

I'm doing fine.

The world still turns without you in my life.

I can't financially support you. I want to dance and act.

I have a hard enough time supporting myself. Marriage is a dream world fantasy.

And how embarrassing would it be to have a nude model for a husband?

We can see each other hereafter.

How could you...

You can't do that. I know you.

You love that guy.

Your parents, friends, and colleagues are all involved.

Just marry him.

That's not it.

No!

Who are you?

Erina.

I thought you left.

I see. So you love Hisashi.

Yeah, I love him.

What's your problem? We only met today.

Time is not an issue when it comes to love.

Listen. I need to talk.

What's your name. Old lady.

I am Eiko. Eiko means forever.

Nice name. My name is Erina written in Kata-kana.

Maybe I can talk because you're here.

Listen to me, both of you.

I'm pregnant. I got tested at the hospital.

Hisashi, it might be yours.

Or Seiichi's. I don't know.

Eiko. There you are.

I was just chatting with Hisashi and Erina.

Is it time?

The priest is waiting. Let's go.

I will say, "if anyone can show any just cause, why they may not be joined together,

let him now speak, or else hereafter forever hold his peace.

You should face each other,

and hold hands.

The day before yesterday, I found out I was pregnant.

I'm not sure if the father is you or him.

And I don't want to imagine the intense sorrow and anger you'll feel.

You won't be able to endure this.

But the thing I fear most is that I might lose you forever.

I know I'm selfish and a coward.

And I don't know what to do about that either.

"The first time he saw an old photo of her"

What are you going to do?

Break them up?

I wouldn't do that.

What's Eiko's decision?

She made a decision?

I bet she's still confused.

But the show must go on.

That's terrible.

But it's the prudent choice.

And what about you?

I'm just going see it through.

I want to see the look on her face as she says her vows

What about the baby?

It's probably mine.

What are you saying?

What don't you understand? Eikoloves Seiichi.

Why would she even do that?

What do you see in a cheater anyway?

Couldn't you see what would happen?

You, adults are crazy.

So how is it that you love me?

Why indeed.

Do either of you have anything to confess to each other before the wedding?

Priest, I would like to have your time.

Do you have a minute or two?

What is it?

I would like you to hear me out before the actual wedding.

Is it a confession?

Yes.

Alright.

Eiko,

I love you.

I want you to believe that.

I know you cheated on me.

And despite that, I can tell you still love me.

So don't worry about it.

Huh?

I just wanted to get that out.

So, you knew.

What are you smiling about?

It's not funny.

I thought I'd keep it to myself.

Eiko,

Were you trying to deceive me?

No, it's fine. Whatever. - I love you,

and I wanted to marry you.

So I just thought that..

if I didn't say anything, it wouldn't be real.

The fact that I loved someone else and that I slept with him…

Well maybe, but

I guess, now I only like him.

But I really love you. It's different from likes or dislikes.

I never meant to hurt you.

I just thought if I stayed quiet, it wouldn't affect your reality.

I could keep it a secret.

But then you are too careless to bury your secret.

Right. I was so stupid.

Forget about it.

I guess was just living in my own world.

Don't be so pessimistic.

I was in pain too.

I could not stay sober yesterday.

I really wasn't sure if I could marry you.

But talking to your family,

I realized that we could be a nice family.

I love you and I think you do too.

We can start over.

Let's have fun together from now on.

Eiko, look at me, please.

Then, why did you wait till now to say this.

Didn't you think you'd hurt me?

I'm sorry.

What did I just say?

Sorry.

I was only thinking about myself.

No that's me.

I always end up hurting you.

So, what shall we do? It's been 3 minutes.

It's almost time for the wedding.

I guess you hadn't discussed the truth.

What would you like to do about the ceremony?

Maybe we should call it off.

I am so sorry.

Seiichi, what happened?

Nothing.

There's no way she's crying about nothing!

We can't go ahead with the wedding.

Why not touch up your make up first?

Just a minute

Eiko, don't cry. What is going on? — The wedding ceremony will start in no time.

What the hell happened?

An affair...

No, it's me. I cheated on him.

Seriously?

Yes.

Even now?

No.

I am so sorry,

I am really sorry.

Please don't do that.

Dad, I am so sorry. It's all my fault, not yours.

Dad!

Your sin is mine too.

How could you think of getting married?

You can't marry like this. - No, it's me.

Stop it!

Unbelievable! — Go downstairs if you're going to be like that

Bitch!

Jun! She is not a bitch.

It's not like that. She is not a bitch.

She is not such a bitch.

She had a brief affair. I knew about it.

And I just confessed now that knew, for some reason.

Sorry, really sorry.

But everyone apologising isn't getting us anywhere.

This is what I think.

I want to go ahead with the wedding.

Excuse me.

You're a real idiot, Seiichi!

You should've just keep your mouth shut.

What do you think of all this, Nao?

I have nothing to say. — I am deeply sorry.

Ok, then here's what I think.

I'm not necessarily taking Seiichi's side,

but I think we should go through with the ceremony.

A lot of people are involved, and lots of money was spent.

The guests are waiting. Get on with it.

Just get this over with and talk about it later. No no no.

That's one solution, but it's not right.

The idea here is to celebrate the bride and the groom.

How could you held the wedding if the couple isn't on the same page?

The fake wedding is dishonest, isn't it?

But we spent all that money! - I asked guests to wait.

Seiichi.. — Please don't do that.

I know it's too late.

But why didn't you talk more?

Could you please excuse us?

Eiko.

I want to marry you, not because I care about my reputation.

Like I said, I really want to marry you.

I love you.

But I was really suffering.

I wanted to get you back. I'm sorry.

I can't be hurt anymore. Nor will I hurt you any more.

Please trust me and marry me.

I will marry Seiichi.

I'll get the marriage certificate.

I'm sorry.

And I probably will be, from now on.

Thank you !
