Original subtitles

[Minori] No matter how far I go

or how hard I try to forget

the sins I've committed

might never go away.

[Minori panting heavily]

Is that Mr. Miyake's...

- She's my mother. - [both] What?

Wow, I thought she was your sister.

Thank you for all your support for my son.

[Haruna] Not at all.

Wow...

What are you doing?

Walking made me so thirsty.

[friend] Oh, no! That's a really nice cafe

but it's already closed

Oh, no, really?

That's too bad.

- Are you okay? - What?

You looked pale, so I was worried.

Could it be...

morning sickness?

[Riko] I wanted that woman

to experience the same terror I went through.

Don't think this is the end.

This is just the beginning.

Let's go!

[Minori] Is this my turn

to be punished?

[theme music playing]

UNTIL I DESTROYED MY HUSBAND'S OTHER FAMILY

[Wataru] Why did you come?

[Riko] What do you mean, why?

I should be asking you the same thing.

Wataru, that cafe belongs to that woman, right?

Did you come to this town

- because she's here? - Of course not!

[Wataru] Look at this article.

A NEW CAFE OPENS.

She opened the cafe two months ago.

I was assigned here last year.

You mean it's really a coincidence?

If you don't want to believe it, don't.

But I was able to get into Keiho University

and become a teacher all thanks to her.

Stop it! Don't even say her name!

It's just the past catching up.

Blame your own actions, not somebody else!

That woman wouldn't want to see us, either!

Please don't come here anymore.

What?

It's a small town.

People might get the wrong ideas.

[Riko] In any case

stay away from that woman. Please!

- I'll take care of the rest-- - Enough already!

Stop sticking your nose in my business.

This is my life!

Wait, Wataru!

[car horn blares]

[Wataru] If you lay a hand on Minori

I'll be done being your son.

- [door opens] - [bell jingles]

[door closes]

I apologize

for what just happened.

I never thought my mother would show up.

I'm sorry it was unpleasant.

Don't worry.

You can go.

Seven years ago

do you remember what you said to me?

I want you

to live your own life.

[Wataru] During these years

I couldn't live my own life.

So

I came to this town

to make a fresh start.

What do you mean?

After you left Tokyo

I...

chose to be my sister's father

and carried the weight of our mother's sins with her.

Here, Reika.

[Riko] I'm home!

- Sorry I'm late! - It's okay.

[Wataru] Okay, I'm heading to cram school.

[Riko] Thank you.

- [Reika wails] - Your brother's so nice, isn't he?

- Oh, the bath is ready. - Thanks.

[Wataru] Both my mom and I

handled the house and the baby.

- See you. - Bye.

[Wataru] But

my mom had only me to rely on.

She gradually...

Goodbye, Mr. Miyake, Ms. Muto.

Bye-bye.

- Bye. - Take care.

Are you guys dating?

No, we just work together.

Are you sure?

I have a boyfriend.

Goodbye.

[Muto] What's up with your mom?

See you.

Stop spying on me!

- I'm not spying on you. - You are!

Calling my college and contacting my friends on your own.

This is not normal.

Not normal?

Sorry.

I went too far.

Why are you talking like that?

You made me choose

so I chose you!

You and Reika are all I have.

So what else can I do?

[Wataru] I knew we'd both end up worse.

So I left home and came here.

But maybe

all I did was

run from it all.

I'm sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

Because

you did nothing wrong.

If only I had not involved you

your life would've been

completely different.

But then

I wouldn't have met you.

Right now

I'm finally living my own life.

And I was able

to find you again.

[Minori] Stop.

[Wataru] Minori.

[dramatic music plays]

The truth is...

I still love you.

Don't.

Do you remember

our promise?

[Wataru] The first time we went to the beach.

That promise.

Take me to the Kanagawa Aquarium next time.

If I get an A on the Keiho practice test.

Go for it.

[dramatic music continues]

After that

I got an A

and I got into Keiho.

Please, just once...

see me as a man.

I'll wait for you

at the bus stop

at 11:00 a.m. this weekend.

See you then.

[bell jingling]

[door opens, closes]

I'm home.

I got some food.

[sighs]

[Yudai] Mom, can't you get a job?

Money's really tight this month.

Or do something around the house, at least.

God damn it.

[doorbell rings]

[ominous music plays]

You're living with your mother.

Yeah.

She's not really sick but she's been holed up at home.

She doesn't even talk.

I'm sorry!

This is about the child support, right?

Give me a little more time.

I'm really strapped for cash this month.

Look.

Are you really okay with this?

What?

[Riko] If you help me...

I might reconsider the child support.

Help you? How?

That woman

your ex-wife.

She might be making a move on Wataru.

What?

Wataru says it's a coincidence.

But they are living in the same town now.

[Yudai] What?

They must have

kept in touch all these years.

Minori and Wataru?

[sighs]

Must be nice being so clueless.

Back then, Wataru was a minor.

But he's an adult now.

They can't be...

[Riko] Hey

do you think you could handle it

if those two hooked up?

Your ex-wife and my son!

[suspenseful music plays]

I've been struggling to survive

for my kids for the past seven years.

If she takes what matters most to me...

just killing her won't be enough.

CAFE GARDEN

Leaving? Have a good one.

Yeah, you, too. Are you going out?

What?

See you later.

Have fun!

- [door opens] - [bell jingles]

[door closes]

[ominous music plays]

What am I doing?

BOUND FOR AQUARIUM

[Wataru] Good morning.

[Minori] Hi.

Thank you for coming.

Sorry.

I wanted to tell you in person.

I made that promise back then

because I needed to use you.

So go with someone else.

AQUARIUM ADMISSION TICKET

And

about the other day...

Even if I saw you as a man, it would never work.

I'm sure

you'll have lots of amazing love ahead, so...

go find someone special.

The one I love...

it's always been the same.

[thunder rumbles]

I'm sorry.

[rain patters]

[footsteps echo]

[Tsubasa] The relationship between X and Y

is proportional, I think.

Hey.

Where's your mom?

[Tsubasa] She's not on a date.

[Emiri] Hey, what if

my dad marries your mom?

We'll be siblings.

[rain patters]

Oh, it's raining.

[Wataru] We should be okay here.

You got soaked.

I'm fine.

You are

always like that.

Like what?

I must have been a nuisance

but you were kind.

[Minori] There.

I hope it'll stop soon.

I...

don't want it to stop.

[dramatic music plays]

The other day, Haruna was speaking very highly of you.

It's thanks to you, Minori.

Back then

I was the worst, clueless about others' feelings.

Is it really that bad?

That wrong?

I don't like people

who justify infidelity.

You're the one

who changed me.

[dramatic music continues]

Minori

I think you need me, too.

Because I know

we are the same.

The same?

We are

still living with the pain of hurting others.

[Wataru] The one who cheated was to blame.

No question about it.

But even now

you still carry feelings of guilt.

That's not true.

[Wataru] So...

Minori.

You don't have to bear

the weight of the past alone.

The two of us

together

can get through it.

[Wataru] I love you.

Minori.

I'm hopelessly in love with you.

[dramatic music plays]

[thunder rumbles]

[cell phone rings, vibrates]

[ringing continues]

Yes, hello.

[Taguchi] I'm sorry. Is this a bad time?

No.

Your son wants to talk to you.

[Tsubasa] Mom?

Did you take an umbrella? Are you okay?

Yeah.

I'm fine.

I think it's stopped.

Good.

That's all. See you later.

Hi.

Tsubasa was worried about you.

Such a kind boy.

[Taguchi] Okay then. Take care.

I'm sorry.

I was not myself.

I don't want to do anything

that could hurt Tsubasa or your sister.

I'm sorry.

[dramatic music plays]

[pants]

[sobs]

[Haruna] I guess Mr. Miyake is not coming today.

- What? - But you know

Mr. Miyake is a big fan of Minori.

I know! [chuckles]

I saw you two together the other day.

Where?

He'll be shocked to find out she's going out with Mr. Taguchi.

[friend] I bet he will!

[bell jingles]

Hi, Mr. Taguchi! We weren't talking about you!

What?

Good luck to you both!

Excuse us.

See you later!

[door closes]

Please come in.

Minori.

I actually

saw you two together.

[Wataru] The truth is...

I still love you.

I'm not telling anybody.

But it's just...

what's the relationship between you two, if you don't mind?

Kume.

What's up?

I know

about you and my mom.

[Wataru] Are you going out with Mr. Taguchi?

- It's none of your business, is it? - [Wataru] It is!

- [Wataru] I've always-- - [Minori] Mr. Miyake.

[bell jingles]

[Minori] Tsubasa.

You heard us.

Please stop hurting my mom!

I don't want you

to torment my mother any more.

[Tsubasa] If you don't stop

I'll do anything to protect my mom.

[Taguchi] I had no idea you and Mr. Miyake

had such a complicated history.

[Minori] Mr. Miyake's sister

is my son's

half-sister.

If they find out

about each other now

they might suffer.

Nothing is more precious to me

than Tsubasa.

So

nothing could ever happen

between Mr. Miyake and me.

You do love him

don't you?

It's too bad for me

but I understand.

Minori?

Don't carry the guilt by yourself.

We were both betrayed and suffered.

I think we deserve to be happy.

So please.

I want you to be happy.

[snips]

[ominous music plays]

TO MINORI KUME

[door closes]

[ominous music continues]

I KNOW ABOUT YOU AND WATARU MIYAKE.

DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU'LL BE FORGIVEN?

[gasps]

[ominous music continues]

- [cell phone rings, vibrates] - [gasping]

[ringing continues]

MR. TAGUCHI

Hello?

[Taguchi] Sorry to call you early.

I forgot something there yesterday.

I see.

What did you forget?

[Minori] Who's suspicious of Wataru and me?

[Haruna] Good morning!

Sorry.

Did I scare you?

Good morning.

Well, I'll come by later.

See you.

[Minori] Yesterday, she said...

I saw you two together the other day.

[snips]

[Minori] She can't be...

- Haruna? - [heavy breaths]

[Tsubasa] Mom!

I'm leaving.

See you later.

I'll see you at school.

[Minori] Take care.

WATARU

[Minori] That's not possible.

[suspenseful music plays]

[line rings]

[ringing continues]

[suspenseful music continues]

FORGIVE

[phone rings]

[ringing continues]

Yes, hello?

This is Cafe Garden.

[line clicks]

Hello?

Hello?

[gasps]

[closing theme music playing]

What's wrong?

KNOW

[Taguchi] You look so pale.

[voices] Do you think you'll be forgiven? I know about you and Wataru...

You and Wataru Miyake.

- I know. - I know.

You think you'll be forgiven?

[panting]

[panting]

[screams]

[Taguchi] Minori!

Are you okay?

Minori! What's wrong?

[Minori screaming, gasping]

[Taguchi] Do you think

this might be me?

You know

I did find out your secret.

But this!

I'm not a coward. I would never do this to you.

Believe me.

- [door opens] - [bell rings]

[discordant music plays]

What happened

between you and Mom?

It's a small town.

Rumors like this spread fast.

Are you out of your mind? He's Riko's son.

[Emiri] You have to believe her, Tsubasa.

[Hiromi] Don't play dumb with me.
