Original subtitles

I'm sorry I fell asleep, Hiromi.

It's okay. You can lie down.

- I can help. - You don't have to.

- Tsubasa. - He's fast asleep.

Minori? Did you lose a little weight?

Are you eating properly?

Um... I don't have much of an appetite.

You have to eat something even if you don't have an appetite.

Wait a second.

There you go. Eat.

Thank you very much.

Minori. Here.

I'm sorry.

Are you...

pregnant by any chance?

I'm going to be

a big brother.

What?

Actually...

a baby is coming next year.

I was hoping

that it was just a bad joke.

But now

I know

the stone-cold fact.

I bet Yudai would be thrilled. Why don't you see a gynecologist?

I don't think I am.

Mrs. Kisaragi--

I'm certain.

The one who is pregnant with your son's child

is not me.

It's this woman.

UNTIL I DESTROYED MY HUSBAND'S OTHER FAMILY

I despise my husband so much I want to exact revenge

but I couldn't help

being a little hopeful.

It's because I've been wanting a second child for a long time.

Why do I have to make

a meal for that man on a day like this?

I'll hold it for you.

Wataru?

What a coincidence to be seeing you here.

No, it's not a coincidence.

Wait, were you waiting for me?

I heard you live around here, so I thought maybe I'd see you.

I was worried. Why are you absent from cram school?

I'm sorry. I was feeling under the weather.

You seem a little thinner.

Yeah, a little.

- Are you okay now? - Yeah, I'm much better.

Was it my fault?

Why do you think so?

The other day when I asked you for advice

you were acting a bit weird.

A baby is coming next year.

What?

You're overthinking it.

I'd just gotten back to work after a long time, so it wore me out.

Then I'm relieved.

How is your mom feeling?

- She's calmed down now. - Oh.

- That's good. - Yes.

And...

that man who's your father figure...

How does Yudai feel about having another child?

Was he excited?

Yes. He was very excited, more than I expected.

He says he can't wait to meet the baby.

Aren't they getting married?

The man who's your father figure

and your mom?

Since a baby is coming

I heard he's talking about getting married eventually.

Ms. Kume?

Sorry, Wataru.

I have to go home to make dinner now.

See you at cram school.

If you ever cheat on me

Be careful when eating at home

I'll be wise

I'll be creative

I'll make soup with poison in it And we'll have it

Together

The room, the dress shirt, and me

For you, my love

I want to polish everyday

I'm home.

I heard you weren't feeling well yesterday.

My mom told me.

- Oh. Mm-hmm. - Are you okay now?

Yeah. I'm fine now.

That's good.

Is that it?

You rushed to the hospital to visit that woman.

But for me

just one word?

Tsubasa.

Looks like he's asleep.

Oh, are you making pasta today?

Yeah.

- Can you guess what kind of pasta? - What kind of pasta...

Huh? Isn't this tomato sauce?

Have you heard of desperation pasta?

What's that? Desperation pasta?

A dish that tastes good even when you feel desperate.

Huh?

That's where the name comes from supposedly.

In Italy

that's what they call a pasta dish made with leftovers in the fridge.

You startled me for a second.

I thought something had happened that made you feel des--

There was.

Huh?

An affair.

What?

There was an affair.

By my friend's husband.

Really.

My friend said

she and her husband were getting along so well until one day

she found out that her husband was having an affair.

What do you think?

That...

is just terrible.

Isn't it?

That's why I was feeling desperate.

It's sweet how much you care about your friend.

That's right.

I had forgotten.

You're very good at telling lies.

You can do it just as natural as breathing.

Then...

I should do it, too.

Thanks for helping me with my situation.

No problem. I'll always be here for you.

- Hey. - Hmm?

- Are you okay? - Huh?

Are you getting enough sleep?

I'm okay.

I'm glad to hear that.

You tend to have a one-track mind when you focus on something.

Ah, well...

Maybe that's true. I know.

But hear me out.

I can't be satisfied by just divorcing him.

Because that's exactly what they want, isn't it?

I just know it.

Yudai intends to start a new family with them.

She's pregnant! That woman is having Yudai's baby!

Wait, are you sure?

Yeah, I already checked.

He's really the worst.

I didn't think it was this bad.

That's why...

I'm absolutely not letting them be happy.

- Kusunoki. - Yes?

Would you share the minutes you took for the meeting later?

Got it.

Chief, did you eat garlic yesterday?

Huh? Oh, there was garlic in the pasta I ate yesterday.

- Huh? You can smell it? - Yes.

It smells pretty strong.

Seriously?

Chief.

Your wife might be marking you with a scent.

Huh? What does that mean?

She might be

marking you so that other women wouldn't come near you.

Whoa. That's a scary tactic.

Another thing I would do is to pretend that my friend

was the one having doubts

and vent my own frustrations.

What?

- What's wrong, Chief? - Uh, nothing.

Kusunoki, I have to go to a client's office now.

- I'll leave it to you today. - What?

Just me?

I'm home.

What happened?

It's rare that you come home this early.

Huh? Is it?

Well, my work is not that busy recently.

I see.

Oh, sorry. I haven't started making dinner yet.

Minori.

I can come home early tomorrow, too.

Do you want the three of us to go out together as family?

Sorry.

I'm going to

be working late tomorrow.

There's an important practice test at the cram school.

I see.

Don't work too hard.

Mm-hmm.

Thanks.

You proabably think I don't know anything

and that I'm just a meek wife.

If so...

you're underestimating me.

Yudai.

Hmm?

Can you go take a shower?

Hmm? Okay.

Oh.

- Yudai. - Hmm?

I'm thinking about cutting my hair. What do you think?

Sounds good to me.

Just remember...

More than you could ever imagine

the real me is bold

and has the ability

to take action.

I think it turned out really cute.

Manager, a new customer has arrived.

Excuse me.

Hello. Thank you for coming.

I apologize for popping in

without a reservation.

Yudai.

Are you

ready for this?

I'm about to

ask this woman about the truth.

What can I do for you today?

I want to...

chop a lot of it off.

Recently, I felt like it's getting in the way.

Certainly.

Excuse me.

How about this length?

People might think I got dumped

won't they?

Huh?

Didn't your friends think you had a broken heart if you cut your hair?

- Yes, they used to say that. - Well...

I can understand the feeling of wanting to cut your hair

when heartbroken. Can't you?

Yes, I can.

Okay, let's start with shampoo.

This way, please.

Have you had your hair at that length for a long time?

- Um, yes. - My hair used to be much longer.

I let it grow for my wedding day.

I see. A lot of people grow their hair long for their wedding ceremony.

I thought so.

Okay. Let's move to the shampoo basin.

I see...

How long has it been since you last cut it?

I had it cut three months ago.

- Oh, then it's been a while. - But...

My husband gets a haircut every other week.

Huh?

Huh?

Are you okay?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Men have short hair

so their hair grows out faster, doesn't it?

It seems so.

So pretty.

Huh?

That necklace.

Oh, this? Thank you.

By any chance

is it from Tsukishiro Jewelry?

Is it a present

from someone?

It's a present from my son.

Oh, you have a son.

How old is he?

He's 18 years old.

You don't look like you could have a son that age.

Really?

Ta-da.

I have one, too.

A present from my husband.

He bought it for me

just recently.

I see. Just recently?

- That's very nice. - Yes.

I'm sorry. Will you excuse me for a moment?

Sure.

Why is she here? Is this a coincidence?

We weren't caught for over ten years.

And at a time like this?

- Are you okay? - Uh...

You looked pale, so I was worried.

Could it be...

morning sickness?

I've had that experience, too.

Please take care of yourself.

Um, I'll be right back, so please wait at your seat.

Okay.

I'm sorry for the interruption.

I'm ready to cut your hair.

Are you really all right?

- What? - I understand.

I had bad morning sickness, too.

No, I don't have--

It's important to have the full support of your partner.

I think I was able to get through my pregnancy

thanks to the support from my husband.

I see.

You have a thoughtful husband.

Yes. Even after I gave birth, he's very attached to his kid.

I'm a single parent, so it's been a struggle.

Oh, you're a single mom?

It must have been hard taking care of a kid on your own.

Huh?

Does that mean the baby in your belly right now

is your second child?

If you're pregnant now

that means you have a partner, right?

But when my son was little, my partner supported me.

He helped me a lot.

My son grew up properly thanks to him.

Sons are so cute, aren't they?

I have a son, too.

- My son is in high school. - Aren't you worried?

- What? - You know

high school boys are very much interested in girls.

My son doesn't seem to be interested at all.

You never know with those types.

Excuse me?

I guess

when they're that age, they're not dependent on their parents.

That's not true.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

Why aren't you married?

What?

To your partner

who's supportive.

Why aren't you married to him?

Don't you think

having a partner beside you

is the most comforting?

Well I...

Manager, a customer is on the phone.

I'm sorry. Excuse me for a moment.

Thank you so much

for making me pretty.

Everything is delicious.

Mommy, your hair looks cute.

Thank you.

- Isn't it cute, Daddy? - Yeah. It looks good on Mommy.

But why did you cut it so short all of the sudden?

Hmm?

It kind of felt like it was in the way.

Short hair is easier for girls, I guess.

Yeah.

Well, I felt like I didn't need it anymore.

What?

So on impulse, I chopped it off.

Chopped it off.

We have almond tofu for dessert.

Thank you so much.

Your cooking has improved again, Minori.

Thanks to you, because you always teach me.

It's not me. You need talent to be good at cooking.

You're naturally good at it.

Tsubasa. She said I have a talent for cooking.

Wasn't it good?

RIKO CAN YOU COME OVER NOW?

Sorry, Tsubasa, can you climb down?

Okay.

Uh, Minori.

- Can I-- - Hey, Yuta.

Can you go take a bath with Tsubasa?

Well, I, uh...

How about it, Tsubasa?

Don't you want to take a bath with Daddy?

Yeah. Let's continue playing in the bath.

Huh? Uh...

- Why not? - Yeah.

- Let's go. - Yay!

Here we go.

CAN YOU COME OVER NOW? WE CAN GET MARRIED, RIGHT?

The sin of having an affair

is immeasurably huge.

So...

no matter how huge the cost

I won't feel sorry for them.

I will absolutely

make them pay for their sins.

Your hair.

You cut it short.

Maybe I had it made too short.

It's super cute.

Thank you. You're the only one who's said that.

Huh?

Just you wait

Ms. Riko Miyake.

I'm going to personally steal

your precious son from you.

Oh?

You smell nice.

Are you using cologne?

Um...

Yes.

By the way, about that reward...

Is Anko Panic enough?

What do you mean?

If there's anything else I can do

I'll do it.

Huh?

So you're letting me decide?

Yeah.

- My next class is starting. - Do your best.

- Ms. Kume. - What is it?

Do you like younger guys?

What?

I have a feeling you're hitting on Wataru.

Ms. Muto.

- I'm married. - Ah, I thought so.

Why aren't you wearing a ring?

I've never worn rings.

I see.

Goodbye.

People have romantic relationships even if they're married.

I guess some people do.

But I'm no longer interested

in having romantic relationships.

Bye then.

Hey.

You look nice with short hair.

Yeah?

Yeah. You had long hair for a long time.

It's kind of refreshing.

I know.

I think I've never had my hair this short.

Did you go to your usual hair salon?

No.

I went to a new place I happened to find.

I just stopped by.

I see.

They're good. You should go there from now on.

Yeah, I will.

That woman...

She didn't tell him

that I went to see her?

YOU HAVE A NEW MESSAGE!

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT?

I WANT TO SEE YOU THIS WEEKEND. JUST THE TWO OF US?

Wataru, I'm done taking a bath.

- Can't you at least knock? - Oh, sorry.

What? What were you watching?

- Were you watching something bad? - No way.

I'll go take a bath.

Cologne...

My son doesn't seem to be interested at all.

You never know with those types.

Excuse me?

I WANT TO MEET YOU THIS WEEKEND. JUST THE TWO OF US?

YES. THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN ON MY MIND.

Minori?

You're still up.

Mm-hmm.

Were you working?

Yeah.

I had to make study plans for my students.

Are you

avoiding me these days?

Sorry.

I didn't mean to.

It's kind of stressful until I get used to my job.

I was lonely.

Don't touch me with those hands that touched her.

It's filthy.

It's gross.

You can't let him know until everything is prepared.

You have to play the part of a well-loved happy wife.

I WANT TO MEET YOU THIS WEEKEND. JUST THE TWO OF US?

YES. THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN ON MY MIND.

OKAY. WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO?

SOMEWHERE WITH A NICE SCENERY. LIKE THE SEA?

RESTAURANT PLAGE SUD HOW ABOUT MEETING UP THERE?

THEN I'LL SEE YOU THERE AT 1 P.M. ALL RIGHT.

I'LL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO TOMORROW. I WILL BE TOO.

I never thought that being held

by my own husband

would be this painful.

Next Tuesday

he will probably make love to that woman again.

Hmm? What's the matter?

It's nothing.

That thought made me realize

how ridiculous this is.

Somehow the whole thing felt

a little bit comical.

Perhaps

it's too much trouble for you

to be meeting like this.

I don't know.

But it's been a while since I've been on a date like this.

Don't you go on a date with your husband?

We don't anymore.

So you're not getting along

with your husband?

We do get along. We're happy with each other.

Why are you so concerned?

Uh...

Wataru's mom...

aren't you worried?

I wonder if

we look like mother and son?

But we aren't.

Relax. I'm just kidding.

Your precious son

is about to be taken in

by an evil woman.

Um...

That hairstyle.

It really looks good on you.

Thank you.

But...

I don't think you should

casually say something like that to women.

Huh?

You might lead them on.

You have something here...

I despise your family intensely

for destroying my home!

Shouldn't you watch your wife more?

You're saying he's having an affair?

Shame on you!

Apologize to Minori!
