I want him to hold me, if only for a moment.

That's all I ask.

I won't ask for anything else.

That's what I always thought.

But...

when he held me, I couldn't let go.

I wanted to know more about him.

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

It's so red.

What?

The sunset.

Do you want a drink?

Thank you.

I guess it's obvious that the sunset is red.

No.

On Mars, the sunset is blue.

- Really? - Really.

The particles in the Earth's atmosphere make the daytime sky blue...

and become redder as the sun sets.

But on Mars the opposite happens.

The sky is red during the day, and the sunset is blue.

I did not know that.

If the sunset were blue, it would be difficult to tell what time to go home.

Let's go home... in a little while.

Are you regretting this?

But if we continue...

we won't be able to stop.

Oh, so you can step back now?

I can't step back.

It's the same for me.

But, I don't want to hurt you.

Unbelievable.

You come here and still say that.

You're over thirty, you're an adult.

I'm thinking this over because I'm an adult.

Hey, do you want to bet?

A bet?

What bet?

That white board there, in the middle of the hill?

We stay friends if the first person to walk past it is a woman.

If it's a man...

we start a relationship.

I'm not just playing a game.

I can't decide for myself.

What if...

the first person to pass is a Martian?

What!

I'll never come see you again.

Stop it, please, forgive me!

I'm not forgiving you.

Don't make such a sad face.

I love you, Rikako.

I just want to make you happy.

You just want to sleep with me, don't you?

Then hurry up, do it!

You knew and understood I was married.

This is not what I want!

I can bear you having a husband.

But I'm can't permit you to see other men.

Tell that man who called you and break up with him!

He doesn't have anything to do with us!

Hello.

I'm sorry to bother you.

I'm being confined in a hotel room by an ex-boyfriend.

- I'm busy, I'm hanging up. - Wait.

I'm not lying.

He's extremely possessive, and thinks there's something between us.

- Please tell him we're not... - Hey!

Tell me the truth.

Hey!

Don't you dare touch Rikako again.

I don't take orders from strangers.

What the hell!

Rikako is mine.

What the hell did you just say?

Nobody's walking by.

Nope.

Girls?

If it's a girl?

We stay friends.

- Look! - Boys!

- Yay! - Um...

- Hurry, hurry... - Uh oh. Are they hitting on those girls?

Are they?

Look, a man on a bicycle!

A man! Good! Come here!

He passed them... he passed them!

Come here, come here, come here...

Good good, very good.

What? He stopped.

- Come on. - Hurry! They gave up on the girls.

- They were rejected... - Rejected.

They're talking to the man on the bike. Do they know him?

Wait, look.

So, it sort of was a Martian.

I wonder if it's male. Or a female.

I'm going to go ask.

Wait.

I don't care either way.

I wonder why.

I don't really know you...

but I've fallen so hard for you.

Then why don't you try hating me?

What?

Tell me, 'You're despicable.'

I guess.

You actually are despicable.

Despicable.

Delinquent.

A pervert teacher.

Indecisive. A coward.

You dress funny and what you talk about is pretty boring.

But, you laughed at my Martian joke.

I felt bad for you.

I...

I'll probably be bored of you really quickly.

I'll regret meeting you.

You might regret it so much you won't care about anything.

I had thought that no man would ever love me again.

I had waited so long for someone to want me like this.

I'm sorry, God.

I won't ask for your forgiveness.

But please give me this man, if only for this moment.

Love Affairs in the Afternoon

Episode 5

Hello.

Hello?

Something's weird.

Sorry, it's so late.

- What's wrong? - I don't know this number.

I just had a dream about Martians.

I'm going to answer it.

Hello.

I'm sorry to surprise you, it's Takigawa.

Rikako-san's...?

Yes.

Um, where are you right now?

Where I am?

Uh, what can I do for you?

No, you see, Rikako's missing.

She's always come back by the time the children come home.

She won't answer her cell phone either.

You wouldn't know anything, would you, Sawa-san?

I'll be at the Mercure Hotel, so come rescue me if I run into trouble.

- Um... - So you know? Where Rikako is?

Yes, sort of.

Excuse me, I'll call you right back.

Who is it?

I don't know. Come sit over here!

What are you doing?

Something might have happened to Rikako-san.

I'm going to that hotel.

I'll go with you.

It's fine, I'll go alone.

But what if something dangerous happens?

Then you can't come all the more.

Everyone will find out we were together.

Bye, 'Delinquent teacher'.

It might be Rikako-san.

[Incoming Call: Shunsuke]

Bye.

Hello.

Where are you, Mama?

You're home already?

I'm sorry.

Rikako-san is in a bit of...

I'll be home really soon.

Come on! I'm hungry!

I'm very sorry, we don't have any reservations under Takigawa.

- Really? - Yes.

We met before at Rikako-san's house, didn't we?

- Why are you here? - What are you doing, Tomoya-kun?

It doesn't concern you.

- Just like I thought, a stupid kid. - What?

Take Rikako home, I'll take care of the rest.

Wait a minute, who are you?

I'm nobody.

But I know a lot more about Rikako than you do. And Rikako loves me, too.

Shut up!

Stop it!

You told me there was nothing going on with this man!

Tomoya-kun!

Stop, you're getting nowhere.

It's time you learn that a woman won't go back to a man she no longer cares for.

Shut up you, old man!

Stop Tomoya-kun, this is pathetic.

If you don't want Rikako-san to despise you, apologize and leave right now.

Don't put the blame on a woman just because your life isn't going as planned.

It's not actually Rikako-san you want, you're just lonely.

What's wrong with this kid?

Shut up.

Shut up, all of you!

I'm so sorry.

I don't have any right to cheat if I can't keep things under control myself.

I'll lay low for a while.

Enough with the repenting, hurry up and go home.

Your husband is watching you.

My husband?

He was in the lobby when I came in.

Did he see you?

Of course not.

My husband told you I wouldn't answer his phone calls?

Yes.

He hasn't called me.

Really?

So typical of him.

He won't ask me directly, but builds his case discretely.

But he sounded very worried about you.

As if.

All he wants is a beautiful wife, and a hard-working mother.

If he is worried, all he's worried about...

is being humiliated.

Then...

we need to cover all our tracks.

Cover up?

You and I, we came to this hotel to eat at their cake buffet.

But we lost each other when you lost your cell phone.

It was late by the time we found each other and picked up your phone.

It's so unlike you to cooperate with me.

I need my husband to think I was with you, too.

Wait, did you...

with that teacher?

I see.

And? What did you think?

I'm so happy.

The happiest I've ever been.

Serious girls like you are so much more scarier.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize.

Now that you've crossed the line, you need to become evil.

You'll slip up if you feel any guilt.

Your husband finding out is the heavier crime than the actual affair.

Evil...

You should call your husband.

Tell him, I'll cook dinner since I lost my phone and kept you out so late.

Tonight?

It's hard to keep your composure the first time you've ever had an affair.

It's better to stay together.

I don't want to be alone with my husband either.

Here we go, smile.

Bigger smile.

I'm sorry to cause you so much trouble.

I know, we barely got a bite of that buffet!

Psst, you sound unnatural... I'll make it up to you and cook dinner!

I bet Mana-chan is worried!

- Hi, you're home. - Hi.

What happened?

Just going to take a shower, I'm really sweaty.

How was it?

Was what?

Insect collecting.

I saw an alderfly larvae.

What?

Oh, you stink!

Of course I do, I was outside!

It turned out better.

We got a nice dinner party all because you lost your cell phone.

But I'm disappointed, I barely got to eat at the cake buffet.

I'll take you some time.

You're so considerate.

My wife is the most important person to me in this world.

Hina and I, we're not number one?

No.

You two will get married and leave me some day.

Your mother and I will be together for the rest of our lives.

Fine. I'm done.

Oops. She's mad.

- Can I play with the fireworks? - Oh, of course!

Be careful with the fire. Mana, go help her.

Okay.

Get some water in a bucket.

I'm impressed, I can tell you work in media field.

I could never say, 'My wife is number one.'

You need to be careful, or Sawa-san is going to start cheating on you.

What?

Cheating women are scary.

They cheat on their husbands when they look like they wouldn't harm a fly.

Oh, we are completely fine.

Of course, Sawa-chan would never do something like that.

You can't say the same about me.

Would you like me to confess?

Actually, today, I had a date with a younger man.

Got you! I'm just joking! I would never have the nerve.

In fact, I'm a bit jealous of women who manage to cheat and get away with it.

Don't you think so, Sawa-chan?

Oh, stop trying to make your husband jealous.

Could you tell?

I'm a terrible liar so I could never have an affair.

You really are a terrible liar.

Rikako, she's exactly the same.

I felt my spine going cold with my many lies, I wasn't used to telling.

All the good food I ate was tasteless.

But I must lie, to continue seeing him.

Sorry!

Did something happen?

This seat is open.

- Bye, Teacher! - Bye!

Excuse me... Thank you very much.

Just in case somebody sees us.

We're strangers.

Yes.

Everything turned out fine yesterday.

I wanted to let you know, in case you were worried.

I'm relieved.

Don't look this way.

We're strangers.

I thought about calling you, but your wife might have been close by.

Same here.

Can I text message you?

Yes.

Let's decide on some rules.

We don't call each other.

We delete received messages immediately.

We don't send another message if we don't receive a reply from the other.

It's not my intention to break up your marriage.

Don't look.

I'll see you again, right?

He wouldn't say that he wanted to see me.

Is it because we are forbidden to?

Or is it because that one time was enough for him?

[From Misuzu: Sir, come to the meeting room]

[Did something happen?]

[No one's around. Hurry! Kiss me!]

Sorry to surprise you.

Why are you here?

I just happened to pass by.

Excuse me.

And you know, today I wanted to show my gratitude for your friendship.

Why don't you come see it?

[Yokohama Summer Fireworks Dazzling Performance]

Fireworks.

Our publishing house is a sponsor.

So, I can reserve some amazing seats for you.

Why don't you come along?

- Yay! - You, hold on!

Could you give me a second, please.

It's a good thing to give your employees a treat once in a while.

I'll be there too, please.

Yes!

Wait, but it will be awkward bringing her in front of Rikako-san...

I'm so happy, I really wanted to go!

Let's go the three of us, Daddy, Mana, and Hina.

How about Mom?

Mom's always so busy with housework.

Let's give her a break once in a while, some free time to herself.

Oh really?

The three of us will eat dinner, so why don't you go out and eat too?

Oh yes, I invited Mr. Sasamoto too.

So I'm pretty sure Sawa-san is free, too.

Why don't you invite her to that buffet you two planned on but missed the other day?

Oh, I see.

I think my husband is trying to get me in a good mood since he's suspicious.

It's so rare to have a weekend night to myself.

Let's have a ladies' night.

Of course, you understand right?

That will be our front.

I got it.

I'll try sending him a message.

See you on Saturday.

I wanted to apologize for what I said to you the other day.

What was that?

Sex...

about the two of you not conceiving.

You're the one going through a difficult time as a woman...

I said some heartless things, trying to put the blame on you.

It's fine.

You're not upset with me?

Of course not!

You'll have dinner with us, right?

I'm making Mabo Nasu tonight, is that all right with you?

Really?

Of course! Please take your time and enjoy with us.

Sawa-san?

Did you change your make up?

What?

I'm home!

Hi!

Your mother is here.

I see.

You come by often, recently.

Why don't you take a shower first, I chilled your beer.

Your hamsters seem cute all of a sudden.

What kind of a name is Mihamu? You didn't give it any thought!

Um, what are you doing Saturday night?

Why?

Takigawa-san invited me to go see fireworks, do you mind if I go with an employee?

Sure.

Sounds like fun.

Shun-chan, you need to bring Sawa-san to events like that!

- Huh? - It's not work, right?

It's not exactly work, but...

You need to give Sawa-san attention, too!

Mother, please, I'll be fine!

- But... - You go have fun.

Oh, yes, thanks.

I think I'll eat first, I'm so hungry.

Fireworks are excitement! Do something to break your routine! For the two of you!

Be quiet, what are you talking about?

Mama, I'll go take a bath.

Okay.

[To: Kitano Yuichiro]

[Are you busy on Saturday?]

[I'm free until nighttime.]

[Sending message]

Wow, pineapple!

I can't call him. [Searching for new messages]

Delete any messages immediately.

I can't send him a message if I don't get a reply.

I can't call him.

Delete any messages immediately.

Why don't you go sleep on the bed?

I can't send him a message if I don't get a reply.

I can't call him.

I can't send him a message if I don't get a reply.

If I don't get a reply...

[You have 0 new messages.]

He hasn't given me a reply yet.

But this is an affair, I have no right to blame him.

Or any right to talk to someone.

I went to sleep holding my phone close.

My husband did not notice anything.

You did the laundry?

Yes, this one time! I finished my paper.

I sent it to my professor, and he said I should present it at the next conference.

Wow, that's great!

You think so?

Why yes, I think so.

What if it's a Martian?

I'll never see you again.

Yuichiro? Do you want to go see the fireworks tonight?

Hmm?

I felt bad, I'm always working on your days off.

Let's go see fireworks, then eat sushi.

I have a work meeting about materials to cover during summer school.

Can't you get out of it? It doesn't have to be today, right?

You should go with your friends.

I'll probably be late coming home anyway.

Okay, fine.

You know, you've been cold recently.

That's not true.

You're not cheating on me, are you?

What are you talking about?

If you are, I'll commit murder.

Not on you, Yuichiro, but the other woman.

What?

I'm just joking!

I'm leaving now, Mama!

Hamusuke, Mihamu, I'm going!

Maybe I'll go with you!

I want to see my former co-workers, too.

What?

Oh, there won't be anybody there that you know.

Takashima quit, and wait, who were you friends with...

Have fun!

Sorry to keep you waiting!

What time are you meeting him?

I'll go to that buffet alone, so please drop me off at that hotel.

Oh, you don't have a date?

I messaged him, but he hasn't reply back.

Don't be so depressed.

A lot of men try to think things over once they've slept with you the first time.

I think it's over.

I think it's a little too quick to jump to conclusions.

Look at me, he dumped me once, and I'm still trying to win him over.

We have a rule, to not contact the other if we don't get a reply.

A rule.

He probably got scared of having an affair.

He's such a conscientious person.

He also has to think about his job as a teacher, too.

Men may be cowards, but none of them are conscientious.

Face the reality.

If he places his responsibilities first, it just means you weren't desirable enough.

Why don't you make sure?

[Kitano Yuichiro]

Oh no, I have to water the plants.

Nine students had to attend summer school, after the initial two weeks, attendance..

Excuse me.

Please, take the call.

No.

There were two absences, both sick...

Actually, excuse me.

Hello.

I'm sorry.

I broke the rules already.

No, I hadn't replied.

Are you busy today?

Not exactly...

Please tell me if you don't want to.

I couldn't make up my mind.

I can't call you when I want.

I can't even help when you're in danger.

I was scared to step in to a relationship like that.

But...

I want to see you.

I'm free from three o'clock.

That's cold!

What happened?

Then, see you at three.

Where are you meeting him?

The zoo.

Are the two of you in junior high school?

So what?

Don't get excited.

Don't get your hopes up.

Don't think of tomorrow.

What do you mean?

Just like when you were single, you play, and you love.

And you want to be with that person all the time even if it's only an affair.

But if there's no goal, it also means the affair always have to end with a goodbye.

You have to understand that or it's going to break you.

Don't get excited, don't get my hopes up.

Don't think of tomorrow.

- Open wide! - Stop! In a place like this!

So that means it would be okay if we were somewhere else?

Somewhere else?

Sasamoto-san, I hate to ask you this.

It's such short notice, but could you stay with my daughters?

I need to go to work, they just told me there was a mistake in the editing.

Of course, I'll keep them company.

Thank you so much!

You two, behave. I'll be right back!

Your dad's work must be hard.

Yes, it's very hard.

Thank you!

- We'll talk later about what time to meet. - Yes!

She can't do it, not now.

I'll see what this is about.

A love so passionate it burns.

I thought that was just a pathetic dream.

But I found myself drowning in it's depths, not knowing which way to turn.

Not me, the fireworks.

- Huh? - Stop, look that way.

I don't want to hurt anybody.

I don't want to betray anybody.

Thank you.

Welcome sir.

- Start the car. - Excuse me?

- This time follow the blue dot. - Yes.

Some may say this is not true love.

I'm just acting on my desires.

But...

Got you!

I thought you were going to lay low for a while.

I won my freedom with this hand today.

I'm so happy.

The happiest I've ever been.

[Incoming call: Shunsuke]

Hello?

Hi, it's me, about tonight.

Takigawa-san made dinner reservations, is it all right if I'm home a little late?

Sure, of course. Take your time.

We stuffed ourselves at the buffet, I'm so full.

I see. Then, I'll take my time.

Rikako-san's here now, I'll hang up.

We'll never be able to use the excuse that it was just a mistake.

We might lose everything.

'You have to turn back now.'

I heard the last voice of my remaining conscience.

Sorry, I'm late.

Did you wait long?

Not at all.

At three o'clock that afternoon.

I became a bad woman.

Subtitles by DramaFever

I think my husband is in love with another woman.

I can't imagine my life without him.

If he finds out, everything's over. You're not afraid?

You're the only one I have, Mama.

I just want you to be happy. To have a happy family.

All what lies ahead is hell.

You need to give up on this love.

It'll destroy everyone.
