Yudai?

Who are you?

I'm her...

ex-husband.

- Who are you and what are you doing? - Stop it.

Kotaro.

I'm sorry.

Can I get back to you later?

I understand.

But...

no matter what happens

I'm

on your side, Minori.

What was that?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Why are you here?

I'M SORRY FOR THE OTHER DAY.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, BUT I DON'T CARE HOW LONG IT TAKES...

Don't make my mom suffer any more.

What happened between

you and my mom in the past?

What?

I KNOW YOUR PAST WITH WATARU MIYAKE. DO YOU THINK YOU'RE FORGIVEN?

What is this?

It's your fault.

Things got messed up since you arrived.

UNTIL I DESTROYED MY HUSBAND'S OTHER FAMILY

I KNOW YOUR PAST WITH WATARU MIYAKE. DO YOU THINK YOU'RE FORGIVEN?

What the hell is this?

Don't play dumb.

- It was you, wasn't it? - Huh?

Why? Why would you do something like this?

Calm down! I didn't do this.

I didn't know anything until Riko told me.

I didn't know Wataru had moved here.

Riko?

You're...

still in contact with her?

Well, uh...

Did that woman do this too?

Did she tell you to come and spy on us?

- No. - Then why?

Uh, well...

All this time

I thought about you and Tsubasa.

I was feeling remorse

for seven years.

Of course, I won't say we should start over, but...

Just once in a while

can't I come

and visit you two like this?

Go home.

Minori...

Tsubasa has a quiet life now.

He doesn't ask about you these days.

I don't want to upset him.

Seven years have passed, you know.

We're already

leading a new life now.

Why can't you live your life, too?

So that makes you think

dating Wataru is a good idea?

What?

What are you thinking? He's Riko's son, you know.

Of all people...

Why...

does it have to be Wataru?

Do you really think

you can be happy with him?

Megu.

What is it?

WATARU, WE NEED TO TALK. DO YOU HAVE TIME?

Mr. Miyake, over here.

Let me see.

- Sorry to call you over so suddenly. - It's okay.

I wanted to talk to you too.

I heard from Tsubasa

about the threatening letter.

Tsubasa told you?

I want to apologize.

Maybe

it was created by my mom.

I'm so sorry.

I'll handle it.

I'll talk to her and make her stop.

Don't worry about it.

I feel that we shouldn't have met in the first place.

You know what?

I decided to move away from this town.

Why do you have to go?

- You didn't do anything bad. - Wataru.

That's not true.

Because I used you

to get back at Riko and hurt her.

That's the sin I committed.

It's not fair...

Then I'd go with you.

There's someone else

I'm going with.

Is it Mr. Taguchi?

Why?

I take responsibility for what happened.

I'm going to support

Minori and Tsubasa properly.

Minori.

Is it true?

With all that's happened?

Why would you...

Because Yudai

regrets what he did.

It's better for Tsubasa to have his real dad back, right?

What about your feelings?

Are really you fine with it?

I promise to protect you. Both you and Tsubasa.

So please...

You're bothersome to me.

If only I weren't a coward...

The fact that

you have feelings for me

is bothersome for me.

So...

I'm sorry.

If only

I could express

my honest feelings...

I'm sorry.

Things got messed up since you arrived.

My mom

stopped laughing again.

I understand.

I'm sorry.

I rushed ahead without considering your feelings.

I wanted to make you happy.

I loved you so much.

This is how it should be.

I'm not allowed

to choose him.

Yudai.

I need your cooperation.

What happened between

you and my mom in the past?

Tsubasa.

Let's play games at my house today.

Um, okay.

I'll go and set it up. See you later.

Bye-bye.

Tsubasa has a quiet life now.

He doesn't ask about you these days.

I don't want to upset him.

Um, I'm sorry about the other day

for losing my composure.

Don't be. A letter like that would cause anybody to panic.

I'm so sorry, Mr. Taguchi. I should've known it couldn't be you.

It's all right.

By the way...

the reason I came here today is...

This.

Have you seen it?

FAMILY CAFE GARDEN REVIEWS

THE OWNER IS IN A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP

WITH A YOUNGER TEACHER "M"

"M" WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL WHEN THE TRAMP SEDUCED HIM

What's this?

I didn't want to scare you.

But this is a small town.

These kinds of rumors spread very quickly.

I would be worried about Tsubasa.

Are you all right, Minori?

I can understand you being shocked by this.

But you should deal with this as soon as possible.

If there's anything I can do

I will help in any way.

Do you have any idea

who the culprit could be?

Culprit...

It could be Mr. Miyake's...

mom.

I see.

It's hard to believe, though...

What mom would degrade her own son?

Anyway, we should report it to the police.

Wait.

If we consulted the police, Mr. Miyake would be...

Pull yourself together.

Mr. Miyake is a full grown adult.

What's more important

is to protect Tsubasa.

It's always the children who are at the mercy

of adult circumstances.

FAMILY CAFE GARDEN REVIEWS

THE OWNER IS IN A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP

WITH A YOUNGER TEACHER "M"

I'll apologize for the past!

So give Wataru back to me!

It's hard to believe, though...

What mom would degrade her own son?

Hello?

There's something I want you to look into.

What the hell...

Mom?

What happened?

Where's Reika?

It's that woman's fault.

For these seven years

I worked like crazy only for the sake of you and Reika.

I forgot all about the past.

And yet...

Excuse me for disturbing you on your break, Riko.

Can we talk to for a minute?

- What's the matter? - Did you see our online reviews?

THE OWNER RIKO HAD AN AFFAIR SHE EVEN HAD A KID WITH A MARRIED MAN

What is this?

Bad rumors spread quickly.

Customers and staff have all left.

I wasn't supposed to be born, was I?

What are you saying?

Why do you think so?

My friend said

"Reika is an illegitimate child."

My friends don't play with me anymore.

Where is Reika?

Where is she now?

She's living with my parents now.

I have no doubt it was that woman

who posted the rumors.

It's been...

seven years already.

She still hasn't forgiven me.

She took you from me.

And now she's taken my work, and Reika too.

Minori is not

someone who could do that.

Why are you taking her side?

She's the devil! Why can't you see that?

I'll never forgive her.

Is that why

you took revenge on Minori?

- What are you talking about? - Don't play dumb.

It was you who sent her the threatening letter, wasn't it?

Threatening letter?

Oh.

I receive threatening letters every day.

I just know that woman is sending them to me.

This is...

DO YOU THINK A MISTRESS COULD FIND HAPPINESS?

Hey, Wataru.

Can't you come home?

Aren't we family?

You still are

my very precious only son.

I understand you

better than anyone else.

Mom.

I'm sorry.

Wataru?

I can no longer

live with you, Mom.

Wataru.

I'm going now.

Wataru.

My mom wasn't the one who sent a letter to Minori.

Whoever is sending the letters to my mom

is probably the same person.

Who could it be?

- Did you see it? - Yeah, I did.

- He's got a problem. - He does, doesn't he?

I was told not to be friends with him, too.

Let's go home together.

Aren't parents

the most self-centered?

I had a tough time, too.

What?

My mom left home one day without warning.

She said

she couldn't be happy with dad anymore.

After that, by chance

I saw my mom walking holding hands.

with a man who wasn't my dad.

Grown-ups are self-centered.

That's how it is.

Yeah. They are.

But you know

I can't hate her.

I don't hate my mom.

Isn't it the same with you?

You still love your dad

don't you?

I thought

I have to hate my mom

who left us and disappeared.

But

my dad told me it's okay to still love her.

He said I don't have to force myself to forget her.

Although I know it's tough on him, too.

I'm going to believe in my dad no matter what happens.

I will always love my dad.

So Tsubasa

I don't know what went on

between your mom and Mr. Miyake

but I think you should be the one who believes in her.

TO TSUBASA

THANK YOU FOR PLAYING WITH ME. LET'S PLAY TOGETHER AGAIN.

- You're home. - Hi, Mom.

How was school?

I was ignored. By everyone.

I'm sorry, Tsubasa.

I'm sorry.

I'll tell you what happened truthfully.

I'm fine, so

you don't have to worry.

I just want you to be happy.

If you can laugh, then it's fine by me.

I'm on your side whatever happens.

Thank you, Tsubasa.

SHE'S GOING OUT WITH THE SON OF HER EX'S MISTRESS. WHAT A MESS.

The culprit is not my mom.

Mr. Taguchi doesn't know where my mom works

so it's not him either.

It's someone who holds a grudge

against me, my mom, and Minori.

What's with this ungrateful attitude?

It's just as I thought, then.

Okay.

I got it.

Thanks for looking into it.

I'll call you later.

Tsubasa, can you wait for me at Mr. Taguchi's house?

Okay.

I have to go.

See you later.

I'll end it.

I have to

end it all.

What do you want, Wataru?

You threatened Minori, didn't you?

You're mistaken. I didn't do any--

Was it because you wanted to start over with her?

Did you think she'd depend on you if you intimidated her?

No, I really didn't.

Then, what about my mom?

Pay back for being ditched?

Riko?

You're defaming her on the beauty salon website, right?

Posting that the owner has a secret love child with a married man.

Hold on. A secret love child? You mean Reika?

Yeah.

Nobody else knows this fact other than you, Yudai.

Yudai.

- Is it true? - Mom.

Are you still doing something that cowardly after seven years?

No! It's not me!

Are you taking revenge for losing everything?

How stupid of you... Go turn yourself in to the police.

I'm not going to the police because I didn't do it!

- It's okay. Let's go to the police-- - No!

You're the one who should turn yourself in.

Minori.

The threatening letters.

The rumors on the internet.

They were all your doing.

Right, Hiromi?

I don't know what you mean.

It's no use pretending.

I asked my dad to request a disclosure

of sender's information using Tsukishiro Group's legal advisor.

All the slander on the internet

was posted from your personal computer, Hiromi.

I don't know.

I had this checked for fingerprints, too.

This threatening letter has your fingerprints

all over it.

That's...

I'm sorry, Wataru.

I thought at first your mom was the culprit.

But...

your mom wouldn't

do anything to degrade you.

The only person who could do such a despicable act

is someone who used her own son to get her way.

Nobody else but her.

It's too late to talk your way out of it

Hiromi.

What goes around comes around, huh?

All I did

was give the correct punishment.

Punishment?

These seven years

were a living hell for me.

EGG GRATIN HALF PRICE

Hey, Ms. Kisaragi.

- Yes. - The numbers are wrong again.

I'm sorry.

It seems you know how to scam people, but you don't know how to calculate.

I heard you made your son marry into a wealthy family

and tried to con the family out of their money.

Is that true?

Isn't that called marriage scam?

Don't people get arrested for that?

I'd really rather not be working with a criminal.

HANDMADE BY US

HANDMADE BY US

Bad rumors spread quickly.

I didn't last long at any workplace.

I had no job nor money.

All I had left was a life with my son.

"Why do I have to live like this?"

That's what I thought everyday.

If I lose my only treasure...

Murder would not be enough.

I thought she was absolutely right.

Everything I had was taken from me.

Murder would not be enough.

I won't allow her to walk away with a victory.

She'll never get away with it.

THE OWNER IS IN A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP

WITH YOUNGER TEACHER "M"

Why did you threaten my mom too?

I'm the one who let her open that beauty salon.

She kept working there as if nothing had happened.

Your mom hasn't lost anything in the end.

That's why I wrecked it.

I was going to

put all the blame on him.

Yudai.

It's true you are the root of the problem.

If only you didn't have an affair...

If you'd listened to me and stay married to her until we got rich...

without being swayed by a dumb thing like love and even have a baby...

then child support wouldn't be a problem now!

You idiot!

But you're his mom.

I never considered you my daughter, you know!

I've just recorded

everything you said.

Hiromi.

It's over, okay?

Why?

Why am I the only one who has to suffer?

Why?

I didn't do anything wrong.

We destroyed

everyone's lives.

We hurt the one who's more precious than my life.
