This man has a wife.

And I have a husband.

I know that we must stop.

We must stop here.

We have to.

- Ow! - Huh?

I felt a spark!

Just kidding!

Or not.

What time is it now?

Almost five o'clock.

I have to go now.

Got all you came for?

My kids will be home soon, that's why I want to leave by five.

This obviously isn't your first time.

Does it bother you?

No.

You're not as special as you say you are.

I expected something different from an artist, but you're pretty normal.

That was a compliment.

Let's meet from time to time.

I'm free between three and five o'clock, for two hours.

Any complaints?

That's about all the free money a housewife has.

I look extravagant, but my husband keeps a tight fist on our money.

Do you pay your other men, too?

You're the first that I've given money to.

Please, let me help you.

Wouldn't it be more convenient to consider this a financial arrangement?

You think you own me because of this tiny amount of money?

Financial arrangement?

You're not embarrassed by your shameful remarks?

You slept with me. Don't lecture me.

Yes, I slept with you.

It didn't mean anything.

Just like what you wanted.

I'm not taking back something I already offered.

I'd rather starve than take your money.

What are you doing, it's past five.

Your children will be back from their activities soon, ma'am.

Do you know this insect?

A praying mantis?

The Giant Mantis. Notice the yellow area by its legs.

It's sort of cute. It's wearing glasses like you!

A female mantis may eat the male during coitus.

How did we get to coitus?

A female distinguishes anything that moves as prey, including a male.

So, a male mantis looking to breed will sneak up on the female and jump on her.

But if the male is too slow, the female will turn around and eat him, head first.

That's scary.

They literally risk their lives to mate.

The male will finish coitus even when his head has been completely eaten, then die.

The female shows no concern for the dead male.

I think... I got it.

I can't talk about much else.

I'm not a funny man.

I didn't come here to laugh.

Oh, look Kitano-sensei, a dragonfly!

That's a shiokara dragonfly.

It sounds like an insect collecting workshop when you call me 'Sensei' (teacher).

What's wrong with an insect workshop, that sounds like fun!

I'm going to take that to heart.

Please hire me as your apprentice.

I'm very strict, I'll make you climb trees.

I'll wear shorts and try my best!

I need to go home soon.

Does your husband come home early?

Please don't ask about my husband.

I'm sorry... it slipped out.

But I want to know about your wife, too!

What's her name?

What does she look like? Is she cute? Beautiful?

I'll... never ask again.

Ever.

Me too.

How about we look for insects this Thursday?

There's a hill over that bridge with a good breeding ground.

Are you really going to take me?

I only have closing ceremonies, so I can get off work early.

I'll contact you as soon I finish work.

- Bye. - Bye.

So annoying. Why won't they even kiss?

- We'll get more damning evidence. - Huh?

Those two aren't going to be able to turn back.

I will confess.

I did not feel any guilt.

We just talked.

We just held hands.

This is not an affair, yet.

My husband never crossed my mind.

'Love Affairs in the Afternoon'

Episode 4

Good morning!

Good morning.

Wow, you prepared quite a feast, and for breakfast, Mama.

Really? They had a special sale on Hokkaido goods at the supermarket.

Potatoes... nice. Yum.

- What? - Nothing.

Sorry, you always have to make lunch for me.

It's fine.

Eating out all the time isn't good for you.

Here, look.

Today's menu is 100% beef hamburger.

Lots of energy!

Are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine. Thank you, Mama.

I think you're getting old, Papa.

Why don't you go get a physical exam?

I am almost forty.

My husband calling me Mama no longer annoyed me.

I've become more considerate toward my husband because I have someone else to love.

Rikako-san was right.

Are you okay, Mommy?

Thank you.

- You should go sleep. - I'm sorry.

I'll be fine, I think it's just a cold.

Good morning. Huh, what's wrong?

You feel sick? That's rare. Just coffee will be fine.

She needs to make you coffee?

- Mom is not your slave. - What?

I've been meaning to tell you, but Dad all you do is boss Mom around.

Really?

- Daddy goes to work and... - So, that's all you need to do?

I'm going to marry someone that's the exact opposite of you, Dad.

Me too.

The tides aren't in my favor today.

Here, you go sleep.

I can make my own coffee.

Thanks.

Yes, I slept with you.

It didn't mean anything.

Just like how you wanted it.

Just today... just today...

You can't just write them off because they're housewives.

It's unlike you to go to a stranger's home.

I told you, I need to start acting more like a housewife.

I did become an associate professor, but I realized my life is missing something.

I thought about what that is.

A child.

I'll be 35 next year, my father is waiting, I think we really need to start planning.

If I do have a child, it's important to join the mothers' network around here.

You've thought hard about this.

It's important to have a life plan.

No, silly, I'm thirsty!

Yuichiro! You're going to be late!

That's disgusting!

Meet Housewives Only! Find someone that excites you!

Look at this post.

I think this is Rikako.

What?

[Post by Beauty of the Day Occupation: Housewife]

I need someone to help me forget the pain of just being dumped. Free 3~5:00.

Beauty of the Day?

How can you tell this is Rikako?

We met here.

The screen-name 'Beauty of the Day' is common, but this avatar is Rikako's.

It sounds like she's just trying to find man in spite.

Some weird men have left responses already.

It doesn't mean she'll fall for them.

I know it sounds ironic coming from me...

but meeting people online can be dangerous.

You came here just to tell me that?

Tomoya-kun was very worried.

He needs to leave me alone, we've broken up already.

Please sit down.

Is it true? Are you 'Beauty of the Day'?

- And if I am? - You need to stop now.

Those matchmaking sites can be dangerous.

What if you get attacked?

I'm not harming you, am I?

Rikako-san, don't you have someone you like?

Didn't I tell you? He threw me away. After he slept with me.

Slept with you, and threw you away...

What happened? You're not being yourself.

I know, it's not like me.

I don't know why I'm so depressed.

Can I ask who this man is?

A nobody.

He's poor, difficult, cheap, and shady.

Why someone like that?

Why? Maybe because he's honest.

Honest?

Men are such liars.

They compliment you even if they don't think you're beautiful.

They threaten divorce when in fact they're scared of it.

They have a date with another woman the next day, but tell you they love you.

They'll say anything to find a safe way out of the situation.

But this one, he told me straight to my face.

That I was shallow.

I've never met anyone like him.

It's pathetic to go find someone new on the Internet.

You'll meet somebody new.

Like how you met Mr. Kitano?

So, everything's going smoothly.

You've become more beautiful.

- It's not what you think. - Then what is it?

We... we have no intent to take things to a physical level.

We?

So, you think you have an innocent and pure relationship?

Don't make me laugh.

It doesn't matter how you meet them, an affair is an affair.

Just because you didn't go online to find a man doesn't make you any better.

I didn't say I was better...

I think it's different to just fall in love and actively seek out a man.

So, you think you just happened to fall in love?

It didn't matter to you who it was going to be.

You may not have realized it yourself, but you were lonely and wanted someone.

It was perfect timing.

For Mr. Kitano to appear.

Tell yourself otherwise if you want to, but two people in love always want the same thing.

We're not the same.

Specifically, all men are just acting on their lust.

They just stay in a relationship because they don't want to look irresponsible.

It's the same with your sincere looking Mr. Kitano.

Women are just obsessive.

They become fixated it because they don't want other women taking their possession.

You're dreaming of this pure love, but you're just the same.

Stop it!

You're over thirty, you know what a man and woman meet each other for!

Stop acting immature, I'm just warning you to be prepared for the consequences.

That's your opinion, don't try to analyze other people and what they do.

I think it's possible for two people to fall in love emotionally.

To want to be with each other, even with no physical intimacy.

Laugh if you want.

I'm not going to laugh.

I wouldn't go find men if all I wanted was physical contact.

Sawa-chan, you've become stronger.

Love makes a woman more beautiful, but an affair makes a wife stronger.

I feel better now, talking to you.

Anyway, I warned you.

Please don't do anything dangerous.

- Hello. - Hello.

I may be immature.

No, I want to stay immature.

I'm well aware that I need to know what I'm risking when I go meet him.

You were late.

You said your friend's house... Takigawa-san?

Yes.

Don't you think she's a little pretentious?

She can be very bossy.

Oh, you thought so, too?

I think you're much more attractive, Sawa-san.

What are you talking about?

Oh, come on.

You're looking a lot better these days.

That's why Sawa-san, you can talk to me about anything.

Thank you very much.

But, I don't have anything in particular now.

I don't think so, Sawa-san.

I think you have a very big concern.

Concern? No, not really.

Don't hold it in. I've heard already.

You and Shunsuke, you don't have sex.

Oh, don't be embarrassed.

I did a little research, it's not that the wife isn't attractive anymore.

It's just a little monotony, very typical in any marriage.

So, you need to bring a little excitement.

- See, it says here, 'Going to a hotel...' - Please stop.

I know you're embarrassed, but this is important!

You need to listen to me, to have children and have a happy family.

Do you understand excitement?

Please, I don't know.

Just do something atypical, like wear different pajamas or maybe take a bath together.

Oh, Mother, did you take baths with your husband, too?

I... uh...

What are you saying?

So Mother, did you love your husband until the day he died?

Oh, marriage isn't about always being in love...

Then what does it mean to be married?

What's gotten in to you, oh this is so embarrassing...

You're making me sweat!

Oh it's so hot today, it's hot!

Oh no. You're not eating the lunch your wife made for you?

Um, I didn't feel like eating it, she made it too rich and fancy.

She really loves you, doesn't she?

I'm going to be jealous!

Well, yes.

That's why, what happened the other day...

- is not going to happen again. - What!

- What? - I...

I thought that you would accept my feelings for you.

- Bye! - Oh, uh, bye!

Really?

You need to stop.

Will you go for a drink with me?

No.

I'm your boss.

And you work for me.

It's just a drink. I won't do anything else.

[From Shunsuke: Sorry, I have to stay late at work. - Papa]

I was relieved that my husband didn't come home.

I ate alone the feast I'd prepared for him out of guilt.

- Wow! - Isn't this place nice?

I saw this Mai Thai bar in a magazine.

I knew I could count on you to know someplace special.

'Khob Khun Kah'! ('Thank you' in Thai)

The VIP section is open. What!

- Oh. - Oh, hello, what a coincidence, bye.

Good evening, the manager says he appreciates your company.

Interesting, I think I might have underestimated you, Sasamoto-san.

Oh! No! No no no, I'm not... You're working?

Actually this is perfect. Would you mind if I interviewed you?

- Huh? - This is my neighbor, Takigawa-san.

He's the editor in chief of 'Bonito'.

Wow! Please, ask me anything.

Okay. Thank you. Well, this picture.

Oh, this is La Perla. It's very expensive.

Very popular for special occasions.

I see. Can you believe housewives who cheat?

They use their husband's salary to buy expensive underwear like this.

Time for a punishment.

I remembered the lipstick from the other day.

Putting this on would give me the courage to risk it all, I thought.

I wonder what will bring him to do the same.

Yuichiro.

Why don't you take a bath?

- You're home. - Hi.

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

Thanks.

You're going to sleep already?

Wake up, please, wake up!

Come on, wake up.

I need to finish the report cards.

You're always so shy.

The day, we promised to meet was finally here.

I couldn't sleep last night.

I didn't have any courage yet, but all I wanted to do was see him.

My classes start in the afternoon. Can I sleep in?

You always sleep in.

Do you think that I'll be pregnant now?

I only have closing ceremonies today, so I'll leave early.

- Ugh it's you again. - What is that supposed to mean?

Rikako-san was fine.

It doesn't seem like that from her posts.

[Beauty of the Day, Housewife in Yokohama, Slender. Looking for someone today.]

[In my thirties. Above average looking.]

You broke up right? Give it up.

Let's get to work!

Do you have special plans today?

No, not really.

It's easy to go off track in the summer.

Do not go looking for trouble.

[You have a reply]

[Beauty of the Day, you seem lonely. I'm sad too, let's be lovers, just for one day]

There are many incidents involving online dating sites and SNS's.

Hello, it's your partner you had meaningless sex with.

I forgot my earring the other day, did you notice it?

There are women who would do that just to stay connected, but I don't do that.

Please throw it away. That's all. Goodbye.

Keep an extra eye on troublemakers like Kinoshita.

He's been all right lately, so I'll keep an eye on him during detention.

Some trouble, sir?

Well yes, a horrible crime has been committed.

Make sure there are no problems.

One single incident is detrimental to the entire image of the school.

This is the same for teachers.

Yes...

Thank you!

- Hello! - Hello... oh! You're early today.

I work from the afternoon today.

I see.

I had a lot of fun the other night.

Me too!

[Pregnancy Test]

I'm thinking of having a child soon.

You don't have children yet too, right?

No.

Your total is 2,010 yen.

I hope Rikako-san can teach me lots of things about babies.

I get off work late afternoon, do you want to go out?

I'm sorry, I have plans today.

Oh, all right, I'll invite you some other time.

- Thanks. - Thank you!

[New message from Kitano Yuichiro]

Excuse me!

[Inbox Message from Kitano Yuichiro]

[I can no longer meet with you today. I'm very sorry.]

Just the thought of not being able to see him...

I found myself not even able to move.

I couldn't even ask him why after reading his emotionless message.

[Incoming Call from Takigawa Rikako]

Hello.

What's wrong? You sound sad.

I'm on break at work. What is it?

I'm sorry I was rude when you visited yesterday.

You should think before you say something so you won't have to apologize.

I say whatever is on my mind to you, because you're my friend.

After meeting you, I've realized that 'friends' can meet a lot of things.

I'm on my way to meet a man.

What, from that dating site?

I warned you.

I'm at the Murecure Hotel, so come rescue me if something bad happens.

I'm not helping you.

You put yourself in that situation, you help yourself.

Don't call me right now!

Damn it!

What happened that I merit a visit from the Editor in Chief himself?

Oh, excuse me, you're here.

Of course, I'm here. This is my studio.

Thank you for letting me in.

We didn't part ways very well.

I wondered how you were doing after that.

I was painting.

I don't have anything else to do, even if I don't have a client.

I see.

Then, please make me your new client.

You're the one that fired me.

We're starting an overseas web version of 'Bonito' very soon.

Your paintings fit the image very well.

Erotic but with class.

A touch that excites the viewer.

Nothing will change the fact I'm a fan of your work.

I accept your offer.

I need to eat.

Great! I'm happy.

Let's do amazing work together again.

Are you, 'Beauty of the Day'?

I know I seem obsessive.

But, I needed to come here alone, and laugh at my stupidity, to say goodbye.

To my short romance, with him who seemed too thoughtful to be real.

Why?

I thought you couldn't come?

Yes.

Why are you here?

Don't come any closer.

Wait, if you come closer, I'll...

These pictures don't prove anything yet.

But, you need to keep quiet about this.

I know.

So, what are your demands?

Let go of me.

Unbelievable. To lie to meet me.

You fell for it, Rikako.

I taught you how risky your actions are.

- I'm leaving. - Why?

Be with me if you're going to look for some other man!

I may look depraved, but I'm not one to hang desperately on to an ex.

- Stay quiet. - Who is it?

The Editor in chief came to my studio.

- What? - He gave me a new contract.

He's probably suspicious of you and I.

Your husband may be a worthless man, but he's not stupid.

You'll lose everything when he finds out.

Thank you. I cover all my tracks.

Good. We did sleep together once, so I did you a favor.

Who are you?

Rikako's mine, you bastard!

- I'll kill you! - Give me the phone!

Don't underestimate what men are capable of.

Why is it so much harder to let go of love when it is forbidden?

When we would be much happier if we lived quietly, peacefully, not hurting anyone.

Somebody will come.

I came because I knew you wouldn't be here.

Me too.

I came because I was sure you wouldn't be here.

It was the first time I opened my eyes during a kiss.

I tell myself that this is the last time to look at a clear blue sky

void of any clouds of guilt

I felt the pain deep inside me.

But...

I...

Subtitles by DramaFever

You want me to confess? I had a date with a young man.

Rikako's mine. Let's meet and talk about this.

I was unsure, about getting involved in a relationship like this.

You're not cheating on me, are you?

If you are, I'll kill the other woman.

I'll see you again?

There is another person inside me that I don't even recognize.

I became an evil woman.
