It looks like you!

Like me?

Look at that glaring stare!

It looks just like you when you're collecting insects!

Do I really look like that?

Of course, you do!

Look at those arms! He'd knock you out with a single punch!

Don't worry.

Gorillas are often thought to be violent but they are actually very sensitive.

And rarely do they attack humans.

Oh really.

Well, its grip is said to be over 400kg, so you probably don't want to shake hands.

I'd say about... 20kg.

I mean, it doesn't hurt.

Of course, it hurts!

Teacher!

Come here!

That's a very good drawing!

I wondered what the two of us look like to strangers.

Shall we go?

Lovers?

Husband and wife?

No, we are forbidden to hold hands in public.

We are forbidden even to call each other's names in public.

If I lose sight of him, I may never get him back.

It's so beautiful!

What are you doing? Chase me when I run away!

I'm not shameless enough to play tag with someone else's wife.

I can't remember the last time I came to the beach without kids! Play with me!

Are you all right, ma'am?

You're not going to help me up?

You look better when you're in trouble.

I just thought you looked cute for the first time.

Pervert!

What are you doing!

You're not afraid?

You will lose everything if your husband finds out.

I am afraid.

If I wasn't, I wouldn't be seeing you.

I can't believe it!

Hello.

This is Sasamoto. The fireworks are starting.

Mana-chan and Hina-chan are waiting, you're not going to make it back?

No.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry to call you when you're working.

Oh no, I'm the one that needs to apologize for pushing my kids on you.

I'll be right back after I finish work, if you could stay with them a bit longer.

All right then.

What's going on, Shun-chan?

No, um... did you call me, Shun-chan?

Why not? We're not at work, it's fine.

Hurry, the fireworks are starting!

Oops, sorry!

I thought it might be his wife calling him.

Hello? Where are you? I'm by the fountain.

I'm already on the train.

What? Why?

I thought you left me and went home.

I would never leave without telling you.

Just kidding. Behind you.

You're very mean.

Are you mad?

I don't like women who play with men.

Sorry, I just wanted to tease you. Scare you a little bit.

Hey, you're the one who's mean!

No, I'm sorry. I walk so fast, this happens often.

Often? So you leave your wife behind, too?

Um, no...

Wait, here.

Oops, this one.

For me?

Yes, for you.

Thank you!

Does it look like me?

- You look like this one. - This one?

It's adorable.

I saw blue fireworks going up in the sky far away.

Fireworks, that my husband was surely seeing, too.

His wife may be watching them, too.

A joy so intense I could throw everything else away...

an agonizing pain so deep I need to run away.

Shall we go?

Having an affair is like being on a boat being tossed in the waves of a storm.

A boat that will never see port.

Love Affairs In the Afternoon

Episode 6

Heatstroke?

What? I'm fine.

Not you, Mama.

Oh, the hamsters?

I think they're just bored, they were just eating.

It's a typical morning.

Nothing has changed these three months.

I still make my husband's lunch.

My husband still pays more attention to his hamsters than to me.

How were the fireworks?

They were pretty.

How about you, Mama? How was the cake buffet?

Delicious. I stuffed myself.

Especially that cheesecake!

Just one thing has changed.

I have become a better liar.

What are you doing?

The university is on break, I have to help out with the chores, too.

Don't worry about it.

You have that report to submit, right?

No, I want to do it.

When we have a baby I'll become a mother, so I need to start being a better wife.

I also read a study that said men's fertility rate increases

when they have higher emotional satisfaction towards their partner.

I'll cook while the university is on break, okay?

It's fine.

Just how it was.

Why?

I want you to concentrate on your research.

I'm going now.

- Liar! - It's fine, leave it!

You can't call this a journal.

- Be quiet! - Give it to me!

Don't fight, you're going to be late for cram school.

But, she made things up and is saying both you and Dad were at the fireworks.

Thank you, you wanted me to show me the fireworks too, right, Hina?

But Dad wasn't even there.

Dad too?

I had to leave to finish up some work during the fireworks.

Sasamoto-san and his colleague took care of these two.

I see. I'll have to thank him, too.

Yes.

You're going to be late.

I'll come pick you up if you have to come home late.

Summer school...

Kids nowadays don't even get vacations, I feel bad for them.

They have to, since all their friends are going.

It's convenient for their mothers too, isn't it?

They send their kids to cram school to make time to meet with men.

They accept PTA positions to have a convenient excuse to leave the house.

Women are scary.

I'm talking about our magazine column.

Here, your handkerchief.

Could you clean today?

I clean everyday.

The floor feels a bit sandy.

There's something like sand... maybe it's from the beach.

Oh yes. Give me your phone.

Mine?

I wanted to change our cell service plan.

It'll become cheaper.

What's wrong?

I'm the one who pays for it, correct?

You're right. Here.

I'm going to work.

Have a good day.

My husband found out.

What?

Tomoko.

My wife had your number saved under a female name, but it was you who answered.

Those fireworks were a trap my husband set up.

I switched to a taxi because I found a GPS tracker on my car.

But, he'd already planned for that.

There was another tracker.

- Then did he see you... - Probably.

He took my cell phone away.

Hello.

What happened? Both of you look upset.

- Hello. - How is your new work coming along?

I'm working on it now.

I can't wait to see your work.

It's my fault. I broke my own rule about only going on dates on weekdays.

What do you think your husband will do?

He's quite egotistical, he probably can't bear someone taking his possessions.

Then, will he ask for a divorce?

Even if he does, I won't accept.

I can't make my daughters suffer.

You should be ready for when your husband finds out, too.

Be ready?

Either completely deny it, or accept it and apologize profusely.

I might... leave my home.

It's not wise to get a divorce.

If your husband starts suspecting you, you should break up with your lover.

But I feel like I'm lying to both of them.

Stop trying to play the damsel in distress.

A woman is always fast to try to leave her marriage, but an affair to a man is just a game.

It doesn't matter how deep he is into it, he won't try to leave his family.

I guess that means I can be relieved.

My husband... I think he's in love with somebody else.

It's just my guess.

Is it a physical relationship?

I don't think so.

My husband is a very serious and conscientious man.

But... he just seems distracted, like he's thinking about another woman.

Do you know who she is?

Not yet.

If you don't want to divorce him, you shouldn't start hunting for clues.

I should pretend not to notice anything?

A man will start justifying his actions if his wife starts hounding him.

Pretend you don't notice anything for a while, and be extra nice to him.

I promise he'll come back to you eventually.

I know, right?

He loved me so much, and promised we would be together forever.

You're showing off?

We've been together since we were students!

I can't imagine life without him.

Was your husband a researcher, too?

Not really, he's a teacher.

My husband probably has his complaints, too.

He wanted to stay at the university, instead I stayed and got promoted.

I use my maiden name for work.

Oh, but today I'm going to try and cook for him.

You're trying, too.

I try.

Do you want to put your groceries in the refrigerator, so they won't spoil?

- Is that all right? - Of course.

Thank you.

Give me a second.

- Thank you, can I put this here? - Sure, go ahead.

What are you making?

I'm making hamburger steak tonight.

I'm sorry, I'm going home.

Sawa-chan, what's wrong?

I wonder what happened.

I don't know.

- Can I put this in, too? - Go ahead.

Noriko-san?

I'm sorry, I forgot I had something urgent to take care of.

I apologize, but please go home today.

God, is this my punishment?

Are you all right?

What should I do?

What am I going to do?

Sawa-chan.

This love... you need to give it up.

You won't be able to hold back your jealousy since you know his wife now.

You might have been cautious and protected both your marriages.

But now, you can't justify anything.

You'll destroy everyone involved.

I'm coming in.

You have to be careful.

The door was unlocked.

- Oh, hello. - Sorry to bother you.

You've been such a nice friend to my daughter in-law.

Are you feeling sick?

She was visiting me when she started running a fever, so I just brought her home.

Oh, thank you. I'll take care of her now.

- All right. - She is my daughter in-law.

Sawa-san, how's your fever? Can you eat something?

Then I'll be going now.

Sawa-chan, take care.

You're home.

Kato-san is here.

Yes.

I see you had visitors.

Some friends.

Sawa-san too?

Yes, she wasn't feeling very well, so I just drove her home.

Rikako, listen.

You should cherish your friends.

They will help you when you're in trouble.

I'll make some tea.

Tea can wait, come over here.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Sit down.

Now, show it to me.

Amazing. It's your best work yet.

Rikako, what do you think about this painting?

I don't understand art.

I'm asking for your opinion.

I love the bright colors, and I feel the power.

It's a very strong painting.

Hah. Is this man powerful and strong?

What are you talking about?

You will not see him again.

You live off my earnings.

You cheating on me is far worse than whatever I did.

You too. I want you to never see my wife again.

You understand what I'm saying, don't you?

I don't want to make a big deal of this, especially considering my children.

I don't want this to get out.

If you can promise you won't see her, I'll overlook what happened.

I'll forget about it for you.

If you can't...

I'll cancel this job contract.

I understand.

Please don't worry.

I'm not stupid enough to be serious about someone else's wife.

After all, it was her that forcefully seduced me.

I have no emotional attachment.

Bye.

Try to eat at least a little bit.

Thank you so much.

Do you know why Shunsuke takes such good care of those hamsters?

No.

Shunsuke's father and I would fight all the time.

He always wanted his parents to get along.

I'm sure he finds solace in watching those two hamsters together.

What was the reason you didn't get along with your husband?

An affair.

He had an affair with a colleague from another company.

Did you know her?

I couldn't bear not to know.

I followed him one day and saw the two of them meeting.

He looked so happy.

He never showed me such a genuine smile.

I couldn't bear the pain.

Such a pain that I felt like dying...

It seems like they broke up after a few years.

But my husband never showed me such a happy smile until the day he died.

Shunsuke was always so thoughtful of me.

From such a young age was always trying to protect me.

His lack of physical intimacy with you...

it might have to do with his past.

It's not your fault.

That's why I want the two of you to be happy.

To have a bright and happy family. Not like what I had...

Oh these onions are making me cry...

I was shocked by my mother in-law's confession.

She is still suffering from her dead husband's affair from years ago.

My affair is bringing the same sorrow to Noriko-san.

It looks good, right?

I met some friends today.

They all have some serious issues they're dealing with.

You'd be surprised if you heard some of them, Yuichiro.

- Do you want to hear? - Not really.

Oh, the rice!

Mmm, it looks good.

[From Sasamoto Sawa:]

[I have something I'd like to talk about. Can I call you tomorrow?]

I told myself it was time for me to receive my punishment.

Mama.

Oh, you're awake.

It's hot everyday.

What?

Um, so, um...

Goodnight.

Were you relieved?

What?

Nothing. Goodnight.

Um...

You're very important to me, Mama.

It's just that I can't, you know, with the person in bed with me every day.

I think it's the same in any marriage.

Okay. I got it.

It means that I have love for you, Mama.

We're family now.

I just wanted you to understand that.

Okay.

You're pregnant?

We need money for the abortion from you.

We don't intend to tell our parents.

You two...

Is it really that big of a deal?

A sperm fertilized an egg and it implanted in the uterus.

Hey.

It's a life of a human being you're talking about here.

Goto? What happened? Are you all right?

Just joking.

We wanted money. Can we borrow some?

What are you talking about?

You should be careful how you talk to me, sir.

What do you mean?

You'll find out soon enough.

I'm sorry, Mommy lost her car keys.

Can you walk today?

- Did your phone come back? - No.

They're still repairing it.

- Bye! - Bye!

To Rikako-san's husband?

I told him about that artist, too.

Why would you do such a thing?

I thought she would end it with the artist if her husband knew.

Do you have any idea what you did?

What if this causes their divorce?

If that happens, I'll take care of her.

Do you really think you're capable of doing that?

Being possessive is not the only way you show love.

Did you ever think of her circumstances?

Love is blind.

It makes you incapable of seeing anything else.

My words to Tomoya-kun, were at the same time a warning to myself.

Hello.

Can you talk now?

Yes.

Did something happen?

No.

I know it's kind of sudden, but I think we should stop seeing each other.

Huh?

I realized that this kind of relationship really isn't for the best.

I've been waking up to the reality of it.

I think we should finish it before we run into trouble.

Let's meet in person and talk.

What?

Let's meet and talk about this.

I'm sorry, I can't do that.

You're selfish.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I cooperated with your husband.

I told him everything that happened.

I'm truly sorry for what I did.

I just wanted you to come back to me.

I got it.

I accept your apology. Now leave.

Goodbye.

Sawa-chan!

Sawa-san.

Hello.

Are you permitted to call me?

No, I'm not.

But I wanted to ask you.

If you really don't have any feelings for me.

I have no intentions of losing work by falling in love with a cheating woman.

I thought your affairs were just games, a bit of excitement for you.

That was true in the past.

But I've fallen in love. With you.

Don't make me laugh.

All the other men were immature and narcissistic.

The men who contacted me often said the same stupid romantic things to others.

You may have a rotten personality but you're unlike anyone I've ever met.

Do you want to come stay with me?

Only if you're willing to throw away everything you have, that is.

I'm sorry, but my love for you isn't strong enough that I could leave my children.

Then don't talk to me ever again.

What's wrong?

Let's go to the convenience store.

Yay!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

No problem.

I thought about it really hard.

It's just not right to keep continuing with this crime.

I feel bad about your wife.

I also can't brush aside my husband either.

Actually, I was getting tired of it.

I wasn't in love with you enough to destroy my family.

I don't need to hear the reason.

I understand that you want to break up.

I'm not strong enough to have an affair if it's only a game.

So, you should stop being a delinquent teacher.

Go back to being a smarty pant.

It was for a short time, but thank you.

Goodbye.

Answer me.

Tell me, 'Goodbye.'

I knew that we couldn't continue this forever, too.

But when I would see your face I didn't want to lose you...

Just a little more, just a little more.

I'm the one that's selfish.

I'm sorry, I had to make you end this.

You should delete my information. I'll delete yours, too.

I don't want to keep hoping for a phone call from you.

We might see each other since we do live at the same area.

But, please don't talk to me.

All right. I won't talk to you.

Let's become strangers.

I'll walk you home for a little bit.

There is no goal to be reached in an affair.

Having no goal makes it even more difficult to part ways.

I was afraid that if I opened my mouth I would take back my goodbye.

So, I kept quiet and kept walking.

This is fine.

Yes.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

I must not look back.

If I look back, I will be face to face with hell.

You knew that it would have to end some day.

You're not sad, Rikako-san?

Are you going to trap me here forever?

Even if I chose a different path, I would still have regrets.

Have you forgotten your place as a teacher?

I know that she can't run away.

You... with that girl... I will not permit this!

You have to be strong, or you have no right to have an affair.
