You're finally showing your true self.

You befriended me because you knew I was his wife.

You are despicable!

That's a misunderstanding.

Stop lying.

You were laughing at me!

That's not true!

Sawa-san really didn't know anything.

Sawa-san?

How dare you defend her!

We should go.

Let go of me!

Let's talk about this at home.

No! Let me go!

What is going on here?

It's nothing.

Is this what they call a fight?

It felt so unreal, I couldn't believe it was happening to me.

You homewrecker!

But the warmth of his hand as he protected me

reminded me that this was reality.

[Love Affairs in the Afternoon]

I'm sure you had your reasons, but since somebody did call the police

I can't let you go without at least asking what happened.

It's exactly as you imagine.

This woman and my husband were having an affair.

I see.

So you were discussing it?

How am I supposed to have a discussion?

This person was my friend.

Sir, is this true?

Sasamoto-san, do you have anything to say?

She won't answer.

This woman is married, yet she had the nerve to steal her friend's husband.

Stop. This is not something to talk about in public.

Why not?

I'll do what I have to do, since it's come to this.

I will never forgive this woman!

No one was injured, so I'm just going to issue you a warning today.

Please refrain from such actions in a public space.

Let's go, Yuichiro.

Or do you want to stay here?

Please wait here a minute.

You're 39 years old?

You don't look like it.

Thank you very much.

Your hand.

What?

Give me your hand.

A woman's face may fool her age, but never her hands.

Hmm. You take good care of yourself.

Any experience in a nightclub?

None, sir.

So polite.

What made you consider working as a hostess?

This job is too hard if all you want is a little extra pocket money.

I left my husband and children to be with the man I fell in love with.

He's an artist, and doesn't have money.

Ever since I got married, I lived a life of luxury due to my husband's high income

so I lack the skills to go find a normal office job.

In order to support him, and put food on the table

I thought working at a nightclub was the only option I had.

I like you.

To tell me such a clichéd tall tale...

you've got some balls.

Oh, did you find it clichéd?

Start any time you like.

I have mostly young girls working here, so work your older woman magic

and make some money.

What is going on?

Oh my.

Good evening!

Um, we were supposed to be here at seven o'clock, right?

Sawa went shopping and didn't come home, so I thought she came here first...

I guess not.

I'm sorry.

We had an urgent matter, so we had to cancel our dinner.

I see. Does Sawa know?

- We told... - Of course she does.

We were with your wife, right up until now.

I wonder why she never told me.

I've tried calling her many times, but she won't answer.

I pity you.

What?

Please have Sawa-san tell you later.

Is your wife all right?

I'm sorry.

No need to apologize.

I'm terribly sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

Why?

I'm home!

People from work?

Nice to meet you.

I'm an art dealer, my name is Sakura.

I came on recommendation from 'Bonito'.

'Bonito'?

Very nice, let me get some tea.

Please don't bother, I borrowed the kitchen and made tea already.

I'm sorry.

My job is to sell art from Japan to galleries and restaurants overseas.

I'm sure I can be of great help.

Thank you very much.

That's quite all right. It's all for our Osamu.

Please stop.

My name is Kato.

Why not, it's not like we don't know each other.

Hello.

Yes.

Um, just a moment.

It's for you... the police.

Police?

Hello?

Yes, I am Takigawa Rikako.

Yes.

What?

Do you remember that fire the day before you got hurt by that student?

Yes. I could see it from my balcony.

It's been in the press a bit, but that fire was started by

the wife of that home, who had been having an affair.

Do they call them 'Beauties of the Day' these days?

She wanted to leave, so she set her own house on fire.

People lose sight of their own world once they've stepped out of their path.

I recommend you think things over as soon as possible.

Come in.

Sawa-chan?

I'm so sorry.

No. It's all right.

She's beautiful.

I can tell how much you care for her by your paintings.

You never tried to paint me?

Stop teasing.

Anyway, Takigawa Rikako...

it's unbelievable you had the nerve to steal the editor's wife, out of all people.

But I guess the editor is the pervert for keeping you regardless.

To find my ex-wife for revenge...

that's just like him.

I was happy too!

I started working with art after we broke up because

I thought one day I might run into you again.

Can't you tell me you're happy too?

We didn't part ways hating each other after all.

This place.

It reminds me of the studio we rented when we were married.

Back then, it didn't matter how hungry you were.

You bought any rare art books you could find.

This one too, right?

Does Rikako know about this?

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

It's our secret, right?

To think that you and Noriko-san got into a fight.

It's not funny.

Of course it's funny.

You said you would never cheat

but now you're fighting in a library with your lover's wife.

I always said affairs were just a game

but here I am, having thrown everything away and staying with my lover.

There's nothing funnier than this.

I would never have imagined this three months ago.

You need to stop here.

There's a preciousness in a normal routine life too.

Though you don't know it until you lose it.

I always thought so too.

Forbidden to pursue anything passionate.

That the little things are the most precious.

That's why I cooked, I packed lunch, I worked...

a boring life, but a happy one.

That's what I kept trying to tell myself.

But...

You want to split with your husband and be with Kitano-sensei.

Sawa-chan.

I'm horrible, aren't I?

But I think this marriage was broken far before any of this happened.

I just pretended not to notice.

I didn't have the confidence to think I was worthy even of wanting something.

I understand. So much that it hurts.

But that's impossible.

He won't leave his wife.

Women like to think that the men they fall in love with are special.

But there are no special men out there.

Just like we women can't help but fall in love.

In my husband's magazine it said

'Beauties of the Day' don't break up their families and enjoy affairs on the side

but now I understand.

I wasn't strong enough to do that.

By the time we think we like someone

we've already fallen in love.

There is no woman that can truly call herself 'Beauty of the Day'.

Mama? You're home?

I didn't know the dinner at Kitano-san's place was canceled, why didn't you...

I'm sorry. I couldn't call you.

It's fine.

I'll be going now.

Rikako-san.

Yes?

This is hard to say since it seems you've been a good friend to Sawa

but please stop spending time with her.

What are you talking about? What Noriko-san said was a mistake!

I don't think so.

Since you met Rikako-san, you've changed, Mama.

That's not Rikako-san's fault.

Sawa-chan. It's fine.

Sorry to have bothered you, good night.

- Rikako-san. - Mama!

I thought you left before me.

So I was just at Kitano-san's house.

And?

Noriko-san told me.

That she pities me.

Papa...

It's your fault Mama!

You left me out of the loop and made me look like a fool!

I'm hungry.

I'll make dinner once in a while.

Oh, there's leftover rice!

I'll make fried rice!

My husband stopped me from telling the truth.

Does he want to protect the life he has with me?

Or is he avoiding hearing what he doesn't want to hear?

I felt so different inside, but we went about our lives as if nothing had changed.

I'll give you a one week probation.

Get rid of this house, and move in with my parents.

You're telling me to live with them?

I don't want to stay in this town.

You understand.

I'm not going to ask about details.

I don't want to hear them anyway.

If you do as I say, I'll forget about this for you.

We both have jobs that require social responsibility.

Let's not get a divorce over a stupid affair.

But...

don't ever see her again.

Don't even talk to her again. Promise me only that.

Yuichiro.

I love you.

Please don't betray my love.

- Yes I will! - Yes I will!

- Thank you very much! - Thank you very much!

All right, let's go out about our tasks with a smile on our face.

- Let's get to work! - Let's get to work!

Good morning!

- I just heard... - I'll take care of it.

- But with a customer? - Leave it to me, please.

Good morning! Is something wrong?

Sorry Sawa-chan. I'm so sorry!

Hey.

Are you all right?

Everyone's gossiping about you.

So I've heard you had some problems with a customer.

I'm very sorry. It's a private matter.

That is no excuse!

A supermarket relies on its customers.

If people found out an employee slept with a customer's wife

our reputation would go down the drain.

I just had a call from Kitano Noriko-san.

She said you seduced her husband.

Luckily, she says she has no plans to make this public for now.

But the chief manager is in a bind over what to do with you.

Does this mean I'm fired?

We can't fire you even if we wanted to.

There are labor protection laws.

We're stuck with you, a homewrecker.

I'm truly sorry.

Mr. Kitano, why don't you request to transfer schools?

The transition will be much smoother during summer break.

I can't abandon my class in the middle of the school year

that would be irresponsible.

I'll have the utmost concern for them, straighten my ways and educate them.

If you're so responsible, why did you act so carelessly!

Your wife is a researcher with a bright future ahead.

Why, having such an intelligent and beautiful wife

did you make a mistake with a housewife of no value at all?

You met my wife?

She came to me this morning.

What my husband did, as an educator...

is not something that should normally be forgiven.

I'm here to apologize on behalf of my husband's actions.

I suggest you clean your life up, not only as an educator but as a man.

I'm surprised, you never invite me out for lunch.

Your wife didn't make you a lunch box today?

No.

Did you have an argument with her?

I'd be happy if that's all it was.

Oh, no, nothing. I can treat you to lunch sometime.

I guess I can't brag over an 1,000 yen lunch.

- What happened? - Huh?

You look so lonely today.

I can tell because I watch you every day.

I wish my wife heard that.

Your cute compliments.

So something did happen with your wife.

I don't know if it's something...

- Nightclub? - Yes.

I wasn't sure because of my age

but the model of artist Kato Osamu, was hired right away.

Can you do hostess work?

I'm not sure. It won't be easy.

I'll go and try it once.

Don't say you don't want me working at a club.

I won't.

I couldn't, could I?

Right. We need money, after all.

Isn't this a gaudy dress?

My uniform.

A bit too showy for a woman 39 years old.

What?

Stop staring.

But that's my job.

Fine. Then stare all you want.

Zip me up.

Good afternoon.

Hello.

I know it's sudden, but we're going to the High Ridge Hotel.

High Ridge Hotel?

A meeting with a developer from Singapore.

If things go smoothly, your painting will be featured in a new shopping mall.

Hurry up and get ready.

Artists need to be salesmen too.

Right?

Why don't you go?

Don't tell me you're wearing that!

You need to wear a suit, at least a jacket.

I don't have one.

What am I going to do with you?

We'll get one on the way, let's hurry.

- See you later! - I'm borrowing him.

I hate to be rude, but you look terrible in that outfit.

Sorry to be so straight forward.

But there will be more visitors to the studio as I work with Osamu.

Thank you so much.

I know nothing about art, I'd love for you to teach me.

Teach? Oh no.

Bye then.

It is a lie to call women in love, beautiful.

Love makes a woman go mad with envy

makes her steal what is not hers

makes her forget the pain of causing others to suffer.

I had just found out after all these years.

A woman unable to throw away her integrity has no right to true love.

[Mother-in-law]

Hello.

Sawa-san? Hello!

Hello...

Can I come over?

You always do without asking.

I thought I would this time.

In that case, I'm sorry but could you come over tomorrow?

I'm a bit tired today. The house is a mess too.

We're no strangers, I'll clean for you!

See you later!

What's the point in asking then?

Little does she know, I'm here already!

She'll be over the moon!

Come home, dinner is finished.

Laundry. Perfect.

And the cleaning perfect!

'Oh my, Mother, thank you!'

'Oh no!'

Are you Mr. Sasamoto's wife?

I am.

Nice to meet you.

I work for your husband, my name is Hasegawa Misuzu.

Yes, thank you.

Please come in.

No. We can talk here.

That girl!

To cut to the chase, please give me your husband.

I know you've heard from your mother-in-law.

I like the manager.

Wait a second.

He's such a coward, and I was just killing time at first.

It's fun teasing men at the age who have lost their self-esteem.

But seeing him take things so seriously and being nervous, it's endearing.

Besides, you're having an affair, aren't you?

What are you talking about?

Your husband knows.

He was very troubled by it.

Stop it!

I'd like you to stop what you're doing.

Excuse me.

Anyway, please split up as soon as possible.

I'm not like you, I won't cheat after I get married.

See you!

Mother!

Don't touch me!

You whore!

Slowly but surely, my world was crumbling around me.

I felt like I could understand why that woman set her own house on fire

to run away from everything in her life.

Yes.

Did you set a moving day?

Not yet.

Why did you go to my school?

If they found out what happened at the library

you would have been in trouble.

I apologized before that could happen.

It would have been too late if this had gotten out first.

I talked to that woman's boss at the supermarket too.

I told them I don't mean to make a big deal of it.

Yuichiro.

Hurry up and pack your things.

My parents are waiting too.

What are you doing? Hurry.

I look like a clown.

You look very handsome. Stand up straight.

Wow! You have the aura of a first class artist.

I told you so.

Sakura-san, I talked to Mr. Rahman on behalf of our publication too.

It's on you now.

I got it.

I have an appointment with a coordinator in Barcelona next week

Kato-san will be joining me.

That's very nice.

Much to look forward to.

What's this about Barcelona?

I haven't heard anything.

I just told you.

We need to take advantage of this attention you're getting.

What's wrong? I'm going to push ahead.

Let me think about it.

Pardon?

Do you really think I can succeed?

You don't belong in a dark studio.

You belong under a bright spotlight.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Rahman.

This is the artist who did this painting, Mr. Kato!

Stop it! This is not that kind of establishment.

What's wrong with you, old hag?

What's the problem?

Thank you very much.

Hide your feelings. You go to that box next.

Excuse me, are you here alone...

Why do you look so surprised?

I've been watching over everything you've been doing.

Welcome.

I'll have the most expensive champagne you carry.

- Excuse me. - Yes.

- Dom Perignon, please. - All right.

You know what you're doing.

I was always a hostess in my own home.

Oh, that stings.

- Are you here to talk about the divorce? - We're not getting divorced.

I can't take Mana and Hina's mother away from them.

[Today I cooked with Mommy.]

Hina was crying, 'Mommy, Mommy!' yesterday too.

Give it up.

Kato will throw you away eventually.

A mean looking woman came to the studio, didn't she?

That's Kato's ex-wife.

They ended up splitting up, but when they married they were very much in love.

I guess the sparks are back.

They're going overseas soon.

You introduced her to him so they would get back together?

As if. It's just business!

You disgust me.

Come on, come back to me.

That low-class gaudy outfit doesn't suit you.

I started working because I was tired of being enslaved by your money.

You're willing to throw away any sense of pride for that man?

Get it together, wake up!

You still don't understand?

I woke up, that's why I left my home.

Thank you very much!

Excuse me, he wants a different girl.

Hasegawa-kun always jumps to conclusions.

I looked tired, and she automatically asks me, 'Is your wife having an affair?'

No. Like I said, there is nothing going on with that girl

and I believe you too, Mama.

Oh, man, what to do. It is a little annoying that Mother heard that.

She jumps to conclusions too.

I'll go over right now and clear up the mistake.

Wait.

Oh, go ahead and eat first.

I might take her out for sushi.

Wait.

It's not a mistake.

You knew, didn't you?

That I was in love with someone else...

Stop it!

Stop with the stupid jokes!

All right?

It's not a joke.

One day in the forest, I met a bear

among the flowers and the trees.

Oh did I meet a bear!

Go Mama!

Mama!

And the bear...

Papa...

You guys too, Hamusuke! Here we go!

And the bear said, little girl run

Lalala! Lalalalalala...

Why did you tell me?

I was trying so hard not to see it.

I'm so sorry. I can't...

Shut up!

Mama, you're...

normal, but, you're such a cute wife.

You do everything around the house

you work hard everyday.

We don't have kids

but we go shopping together

we watch TV together and laugh

anybody would say we're in a good loving marriage.

We stay together

with Hamusuke and Mihamu

and grow old together, peacefully.

That's a lie.

That is not who I am!

I'm sorry.

I didn't know where to go.

But I would never go back to that house.

That's what I thought.

Our special place was still there, just as I had remembered it.

This was the biggest obstacle that God had ever given me.

Barcelona? So suddenly?

A coordinator over there wants to see me.

Are you going alone with Sakura-san?

No. There'll be staff with us.

She's working very hard. For you.

It's my last chance, she says.

I'm going.

You'll be back right?

Of course.

You're not going to ask me to wait for you?

What's wrong?

I love you.

I'll be going.

Be careful.

It's so refreshing!

This reminds me of field trips when I was small.

Field trips. I don't have too many good memories on field trips.

I bet you never got to sit next to your crush?

How did you know?

I was the same.

I always got stuck with the weird kid.

How about today?

The weirdest.

Fine.

Are you mad?

Hey, wait!

The bindweed flower, spreads quickly with its underground roots

and never seems to stop showing its face again

no matter how many times it may be cut down.

This is why some have always treated the bindweed flower, the 'Beauty of the Day'

as a weed, as a nuisance.

Like an affair, no matter who may try to stop it.

Somebody please tell me.

Where are the two of us headed?

I never imagined I would fall in love with a married man.

Our lives are not going to last like this, tomorrow and the day after that.

I'll clean things up with Takigawa.

This job is not for me. It's for me and Rikako.

You understand what you're doing?

What we are doing is unforgivable.

That's why I want to take care of things properly.

I don't mind dying like this.
