Overprotected Kahoko (2017) s01e04 Episode Script
Episode 4
1
The princess
in this small kingdom
was raised in this castle
with tender affection and care.
She has always relied on the queen
for everything since she was small.
Kahoko! Wak
No matter what you say, I'll
go see him because I want to.
Hey, Kahoko!
Enough! Be quiet!
You're so annoying.
Don't get in my way, ever!
I like you, Hajime.
It's you that I like.
Huh?
Oh no!
Ahh!
What have I done?
Mum?
The strong tie that used
to connect the two
was starting to fall apart quietly.
What are you doing?
It's nothing.
Can you go wake Kahoko up?
But you always do that.
I'm a bit busy over here.
Can't you at least do that much?
You're her father.
Of course I can, but
So she's still not over
what happened last night.
What are you doing?
Not looking for Kahoko?
No, I'm fine.
Why?
I was just here
to get some fresh air.
But aren't you worried about Kahoko?
Kahoko? What are you doing there?
Let's go inside.
But
I'll apologise to Mum with you.
Good morning.
She still asks that,
even when they're fighting?
And she answers, too?
For the first time, she's wearing
something she wasn't told to wear.
That only makes things worse.
Honey, can you tell Kahoko?
That she doesn't look pretty today.
Really? You think so?
I look good in this, don't I?
- Yeah, sure
- Honey?
Can you tell Kahoko
that I would forgive her
if she apologises about yesterday?
Did you hear what Mum said, Kahoko?
Dad, do I really need to apologise
when I didn't do anything wrong?
- Well
- Honey?
I wonder where our troubled daughter
was last night.
Could it be that she was with
the guy named Mugino?
Is that true, Kahoko?
It's none of her business.
Right, Dad?
Is that so?
From now on, you're on your own.
Tell her that, Honey.
It's fine, then I won't have to hear
you complaining about Mugino.
Tell her that.
Are you seriously going
to go out with him?
Tell her that, Honey.
What if I do? Tell her that, Dad.
Calm down, both of you!
Hot!
But she still gives her a ride
to the station?
I can't stand this anymore!
What kind of food do you want me
to bring home tonight?
Anything is fine.
But if I had to choose,
I'm feeling like mizu-yokan.
- I don't want mizu-yokan at all.
- Tut.
We should go on a holiday in summer.
Where do you want to go?
I want to see dolphins
at an aquarium.
No way, it'll be exhausting.
- It will be full of kids.
- Tut.
Honey, tell her
that her mum is simply worried
about her getting flirted
by the boy and getting hurt.
Dad, tell Mum that she
is getting a wrong idea.
I liked him first and already
confessed my feelings.
Are you serious, Kahoko?
No matter how hard you try to
stop me, I'll still go out with him.
Hey!
Kahoko!
Wait, Kahoko!
See you later.
Here, a cold war like never before
has started in my home.
- There you are!
- It's so hot!
It's hot, isn't it?
I have some cold towels.
That sounds great.
So nice and cold.
I've got some tea, too.
Thank you.
How are you doing today, Kahoko?
Actually, Kahoko
confessed her feelings
to the guy she likes.
What should I do, Tamaki?
I told Mum I'll go out with him
but I'm not sure at all.
Don't be discouraged.
Why don't you go see him?
I can't. I'm too scared to hear
what he will say.
But if you don't,
you will never find out
how he feels about you.
That's true, but
Why do people fall in love?
Why such a philosophical
question, Kahoko?
You two are always lovey dovey,
and I want that, too.
You just don't see it, but we
have some problems, too.
What do you mean?
How can I put this? In your life,
there will be times
when you have secrets and struggles
that you can't tell anyone.
It's hard to get
through those times
without someone
who's there for you.
Mamoru was always there for me
and I was there for him.
You guys have secrets, too?
- What is it?
- That's a secret.
But one thing I can say
is that we both needed each other.
Mummy.
What's wrong? Where's your mummy?
It's going to be okay.
Meeting someone
is an amazing thing.
It gives you a chance
to change yourself.
Isn't that what happened
when you met Mugino?
- See you later.
- Nice work.
Darn.
"Sorry
but I want to focus
on my painting right now
so I can't go out with anyone."
I'm just sugar-coating things
"Sorry
I just don't see a future with you."
Ughit sounds so fake!
"Why don't we
start from being friends?"
I can't do this.
I'm not sure who I am anymore.
Don't just show up like that!
Oh, sorry
I wanted to say hi, but you seemed
busy rehearsing.
No, I wasn't.
Did you hear what I was saying?
Wellyeah
"I'm not sure who I am anymore."
Only that part.
That's good.
What brought you here?
The hot weather continues,
but is everything going fine?
Yes, thanks to you.
I'm hanging in there.
Very good. Goodbye, then.
Hey! Hey!
Why did you come here?
Well
About yesterday
Hmm?
Well
Don't worry about what I said.
It was just me one-sidedly
confessing my feelings.
I'm not asking you to do
anything about it. So
So forget about
all the things I said.
- Goodbye.
- Are you sure?
- Huh?
- You know
I'm not good at relationships,
so I shouldn't be saying this
but shouldn't you be honest
with your feelings?
Otherwise
you'll make the other person
wonder what it was all about.
You're right. I'm sorry!
I like you, Hajime.
Will you go out with me?
Sorry, I can't.
Huh?
I'm sorry, but
someone child-like and overprotected
like you is not really my type.
I see.
Hey! Are you okay?
Sorry, don't get me wrong.
I just don't want you
to get your hopes up.
But you've never seen your parents
arguing everyday
or a pile of debt collection
letters, have you?
A naive rich kid like you
is not a good match for me.
You're right.
I feel better now that
you made things clear.
Alright.
I'm glad.
Okay, then.
Good luck with your painting.
Excuse me.
Is she? Her tail
seems longer today.
Hey, Kahoko?
Oh, Dad.
Is everything okay?
Are you not feeling well?
I'm doing perfect.
Really?
I brought some Baumkuchen for you.
Great. Thank you.
I'm home.
Will you be home
for dinner tomorrow, Honey?
I'm not sure yet, so don't worry.
Okay.
Wow, it's your favourite
omelette rice, Kahoko.
Wash your hands and let's eat.
Dad, can you tell Mum
that I won't be eating dinner?
You've never done that before.
Also, tell her that I got rejected
so she no longer needs to worry.
Shouldn't we go check on her?
Leave her alone. She'll come out
when she gets hungry.
She seems to be happy about this
I'm going to bed.
Are you sure?
Kahoko is still in her room.
Why don't you check on her yourself?
You're her father, sometimes
you have to do it.
What do you mean "sometimes"?
Don't give her snack
even if she is hungry.
It's her penalty
for not eating dinner.
Stand on the father's dignity, okay?
Alright.
Good night.
Kahoko?
Can I come in?
What was that?
Did she really turn into a frog?
I'm coming in!
Hey, cheer up.
If you want, I can find you
a nice guy who understands you.
That's not it.
I'm not sad about getting rejected.
What do you mean?
I thought that I would never
want to eat anything again
but now I'm starving to death
and that makes me sad.
So that sound that I heard earlier
was your stomach growling?
Dad, I have two favours to ask you.
What is it?
The first favour is
to get omelette rice, doughnuts,
and French fries from a store?
Oh, okay.
The second is
to not tell Mum about it?
Where are you going?
Did you by any chance get asked
a favour by Kahoko?
Why does this meerkat
have such good intuition?
It's not like that.
I wanted more beer
but we don't have any left.
Alright, but don't drink too much.
Don't make a mess on the table,
and separate the trash.
I will.
I'm back, Kahoko.
Thank you, Dad.
Are you okay, Kahoko?
Can you get up?
Here, have some.
Here you go.
Don't rush, or you will
choke on the food.
I'm relieved, though.
If you said you would never eat
for the rest of your life
I wouldn't have known what to do.
- Hey, Dad?
- Hmm?
Have you
ever gotten rejected
by someone you like?
Of course I have.
How did you get over it?
How did I do it?
Maybe you just need
to meet someone new.
Maybe, I'll try a dating app, then.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Is there any other way?
Maybe get drunk and forget about it?
Maybe I'll try drinking, then.
Actually, no. You'll be
in big trouble if Mum finds out.
So
how is Mum doing?
Was she happy that I got rejected?
That's not true.
She is really worried
that you got hurt.
Really?
So
why don't you make up
with her soon, Kahoko?
What are you doing?
You scared me.
What is that?
I got hungry when
I went to the store.
These are all Kahoko's
favourite food.
I knew this would happen.
Hey! Wait!
I told you that
this is not flammable.
Hey, why don't you forgive Kahoko?
It seems that Kahoko
wants to make up with you.
I'm begging you.
She got rejected by her first love,
so she's having a hard time.
Alright, I'll think about it.
Really?
You're always so easy on Kahoko.
So overprotective.
- Look who's talking.
- What?
It's nothing.
Think about it, okay?
I always tell myself
the words of Collin Powell.
The most important thing
is to remain calm
and be kind.
Was I a bit too harsh?
What are you doing here, Ito?
You told me to come by anytime.
That's right! Please come in.
By the way
how is
your wrist?
I went to a hospital that
Kahoko's dad introduced me to.
But they also said
that I should give up on cello.
Oh
Alright.
Can I see?
Since you gave this to me
the other day
I've been curious to see
how you paint.
Sure, you can look.
Oh, since you're here
Actually
what do you think about
this painting?
It looks great.
What about this?
It's great, too.
All just great?
That's not true.
Why do you ask that?
You know
lately, I don't know
what exactly I want to paint.
Not picking up?
It's my mother.
She's more upset
about my injury than me.
It's really annoying.
Setsu?
Lately, I wonder
Sure.
if I am really my parents' child.
Sorry!
Maybe there was a switch at birth
at the hospital
and my real parents
are out there somewhere.
If I didn't have
such poor parents
I could've gone to a better school
like any other cello students.
Maybe I'd have never gotten sick.
I don't know about that.
At the end of the day
you blame your parents
about not playing the cello.
I'm not
If you have time to do that,
shouldn't you be talking
with your parents?
They sacrificed everything so
you can have your dream come true.
Who are you to say that?
Oh yeah? Then leave!
I've got to get to my job.
Hey
if you're not sure
about what to paint
I can be your model,
just like this drawing.
Sorry.
But not who you are now.
Fine.
"How to get over a heartbreak"
"Write down all the reasons
why it didn't work out."
Hajime doesn't like
me.
That's it.
"Keep crying until you feel better."
I already cried so much.
"Focus on things you like to do."
I don't really have anything.
"Work on self-improvement."
How can I do that?
"Delete his email address
and phone number."
"Delete this contact?"
What should I do?
Can I come in?
I brought you lunch.
Hey
why don't we all eat together?
I don't want Mum getting in my face.
I still haven't gotten over
what happened.
I understand how you feel
but you won't feel better
if you stay here.
- But
- Why don't we
go to your grandparents'?
Seeing everyone might make
you feel better.
Hold on, Dad.
"Meet accepting people and
get your confidence back"
I want to go.
I'm not going.
What? Why?
Because it's so sudden
and I've got plans.
I have a lot to do, like cleaning
and doing laundry.
Oh, come on!
You just don't want them to know
you and Kahoko are fighting.
She doesn't like her family
to see her weakness.
Welcome, Kahoko!
Sorry to barge in like this.
Are you kidding me?
You guys are always welcome here.
Where is Grandma?
Grandma is
Maybe in the kitchen?
Grandma?
Kahoko! I'm glad you're here.
Is everything okay?
You seem a little down.
No, I'm fine.
What about you? Is everything okay?
Why did you want
to suddenly visit us?
I just wanted to see your faces.
Is that so?
Let's get everyone, then.
What's going on?
Everyone is so quiet today.
Is Izumi on her way, Masataka?
She actually has plans today. Sorry.
Oh, I see. It's so quiet today
because Izumi is not here.
What's wrong, Kahoko?
Is it too salty for you?
You cooking is so good
that I can't stop eating,
which makes me sad.
Why?
Because I just got re
What was it?
Kahoko is a mature woman.
She's got a lot going on.
More beer?
Sure, thanks.
Tamaki?
Something happened?
Why?
You're not talking
to Uncle Mamoru today.
That's true. What's going on?
You guys are always lovey dovey.
It was my fault.
I promised to stop drinking,
but I had a beer last night.
You'd want more and more
and can't stop.
I get that.
I know but I had a stressful day
at work yesterday.
Right, when a guy is
working hard every day
sometimes he needs a drink.
You don't get a say, Dad.
This is a problem between
the two of us.
Why are you so upset?
Setsu
How is Ito doing? Is she okay?
She's fine.
She doesn't really talk to us much
these days.
Hey, there has to be something
that cheers her up.
Setsu?
Huh?
I've been thinking about it,
but can't think of anything.
Are you really okay, Setsu?
You sound absent-minded.
I haven't been motivated
at all these days.
Can you please talk to her?
She just quit her part time job.
It couldn't be helped.
There's no point in saving money
if Ito cannot play the cello.
Come on, don't say such a sad thing.
Alright.
Let me recite a Chinese poem
to cheer you up.
You're such a lucky guy.
You have no worries.
I'm saying, being upset
doesn't get you anywhere.
Alright! Why don't
we order some pizza?
No pizza!
Why not?
I've being putting on
a bit of weight lately.
Besides, Grandma's cooking
is so much better.
You can't say that you got
rejected by a pizza delivery guy.
Alright.
I'll order something else, then.
What do you want? Sushi?
I'll actually have some beer.
Are you sure, Kahoko?
Can't I, Dad?
But you've never had beer before.
It could help her get over
the heartbreak.
Just a glass, okay?
Thanks!
Let me pour you some.
It's Kahoko's very first beer.
Take out the straw.
Alright.
Here you go.
There you go.
Hello, Mum? What's up?
Did you and Kahoko have an argument?
Did Kahoko tell you that?
No, but it's pretty obvious.
Could it be because she
has someone she fancies?
What's the problem?
She is a mature woman.
I'm not saying
that she can't fall in love.
Just saying he's not the right guy.
Are you really?
Wouldn't you want to stop her
no matter who the guy is?
That's not true.
What should we do?
We've got a problem.
Are you really listening?
Why is this happening to me?
You're so stubborn!
No, I'm not!
What are you saying?
That's not what I'm saying.
Cheers!
Now, chug.
Mmm!
Let's just let them be.
Are you not drinking, Masataka?
No, I'm not.
- Are you okay?
- Sorry.
It's been stressful at home.
I needed a drink.
Chug it?
That's enough, Honey.
She needs more.
Are you okay, Kahoko?
You've had quite a lot to drink.
It seems that I'm pretty strong.
True, true!
Grandma?
I'm going to go.
To where?
Kahoko?
Hey, Kahoko!
What are you doing here?
I came here to tell you something.
You smell of liquor. Are you drunk?
What if I was?
Sorry, but I don't like
drunk people.
Can you leave? I'm trying to paint.
Who do you think you are?
- This is too much.
- You idiot!
Whoa! Hey!
What do you think you are doing?
There is no point in painting these.
That's enough!
This is awful.
This is great.
It's incredible.
I'm so moved by this.
You are a genius, after all.
Better than Picasso.
No matter how hard it gets,
never give up.
You paintings will make everyone
in the world happy.
I get it, I get it.
I won't be seeing you anymore
but never give up
on your dream, okay?
Wait, wait.
Alright, alright.
What do you think of this?
This is no good.
Not this, either!
Not good at all.
Out of the question!
Oh my gosh!
Hey, hey!
Stop!
What?
Oh no!
Don't throw up!
What were you thinking?
Why did you let her drink?
Your dad told me to.
Then, why
Why didn't you stop her from
going to see the boy?
Kahoko can run fast.
I knew this would happen.
This is why I can't trust you
with Kahoko.
- Hey, you don't
- What?
Don't. The most important thing
is to remain calm and be kind.
Hey
don't push too hard.
You're so good at everything,
so you work too hard
for the house and Kahoko
I know that it's because
I'm not very reliable
but I'll do whatever
I can from now on.
So please give in this time.
Kahoko liked someone
for the first time.
It's you who she really
wants to talk to.
That's right.
I guess I was being stubborn.
Thanks for understanding.
I might have a good chance
this time.
Hey, Izumi.
Are you okay, Kahoko?
You going?
Take care of her until the end.
I was just about to say
something nice.
What happened to me?
You got drunk, and Mugino
dropped you off here again.
Are you okay?
I'm getting flashbacks
of the awful things I did.
I want to die. My life is over.
Calm down.
Why didn't you stop me?
I definitely can't see him anymore.
I don't know what happened, but
Leave me alone.
I'm such a worthless person.
I should stay in this room forever.
Don't say such a thing.
Honey?
Is she coming to save me?
You've got a call from your mum.
Really? She's going back?
Hello? What's up, Mum?
We've got a problem.
I need your help.
What's wrong?
Kyoko's business partner
disappeared with their money.
She can't do the computer classes
anymore.
What? Just leave her alone.
But she's got some debt.
It's quite a lot of money.
"A bond of debt"
Give me a break.
I don't have time for this.
"For Rent"
Here is tomorrow's weather.
Hokkaido and Kanto regions
will have a clear sky.
What are you doing, Kyoko?
What are you going to do? You were
so sure about your computer classes.
It's alright.
I'm trying to come up
with a new method.
What does that even mean?
What will you do with the debt?
"A bond of debt"
Three million yen?
You're troubling us again.
It's because you complain so much
that things never work out for me.
Just leave me alone.
You know this isn't good a time
to take a nap, Dad.
I know.
I'll deal with it tomorrow.
When will that "tomorrow" come
for him?
What should we do?
This isn't good.
This wouldn't have happened if you
made things clearer.
That's right.
So it's my fault?
I have a headache.
Wait, you too?
Is this really okay?
At this rate, my family will be
like this in no time.
"I'll never come see you again,
so don't worry."
I'm sorry for barging in.
It's fine. What's going on?
I'm sorry, but could you
keep meeting with my daughter,
of course, as a friend?
Life is strange.
I thought if Kahoko
ever dated anyone
I would be against it
no matter who he was.
But when I saw her being
so heartbroken about you
I wanted to do something for her.
Just like how my wife and I
can't live without Kahoko,
Kahoko can't live without you.
She is trying to grow up now
so she needs someone
who can tell her honestly.
It's embarrassing, but my wife and I
always end up overprotecting her.
To tell you the truth
I don't think I can stand
my wife and daughter
not talking to each other
any longer.
So, I'm begging you.
Alright.
Thank you.
But in return
can you do me a favour?
Of course. Tell me anything.
You look
pretty good.
Really? Do you think so?
Could he be?
"Can we meet up really quick?"
No way!
Sorry to bother you.
It's fine.
What's up?
Can you take a look at something?
What do you think?
This is incredible!
You really are a genius.
Better than Picasso.
I get it! You don't
need to say anymore.
But in return
don't say you'll never see me again.
Honestly
I can't see you that way right now.
But you know
Well
I need you.
When you say
you like my paintings
I can trust that it's not
a lie or flattery
but you genuinely mean what you say.
It gives me confidence.
It might not be what you want
but can you
look at my paintings
and give me feedback sometimes?
- I will.
- Great.
Yes! I'm glad.
Alright, then.
I need to go to work.
Have fun.
I'll see you tomorrow.
What's going on?
What's that face?
I
I've never had this before.
What is it now?
"See you tomorrow"
I never knew that was
such a wonderful phrase.
In this world
to have someone who needs me
besides my family
and for that person to want
to see me all the time
is such an amazing thing.
It's like
I've been told that
it's okay for me to live.
See you tomorrow.
I waited in a queue for two hours
to get the pastries
you've always wanted
so stop fighting and eat
the pastries together.
I'm home.
Here it is.
Look.
You were so nervous.
I'm home.
Welcome back.
What are you doing?
Watching a video.
Her entrance ceremony.
You should join us. I looked
the cutest when I was this age.
Let's see what you got.
I wonder what we have for today.
It's dorayaki pastry.
Yay!
I'll make some tea.
Did you guys make up?
Why?
Did you guys have a talk?
We don't need to do that.
We understand each other.
Yeah, but
Did you apologise to Mum, Kahoko?
Yeah, Hajime told me I should.
He also told me not to get you
worried, and I think he's right.
Is that so?
Is she not going
to thank me at all?
Oh, I forgot something.
I want an art book of Picasso.
Can you go with me to get it?
Yeah, sure.
Thank you. I love you, Dad.
Thank you for waiting.
- Here's the pastry.
- Pastry!
It doesn't fully make sense,
but I guess I should be happy.
He only captured Kahoko,
so we can't see anyone else.
Film Grandma and Grandpa, too.
Sorry.
I'm being so shy.
I've told you many times
that you can't use that glass.
Sorry.
The important thing is
to remain calm and be kind.
I'll go and get changed.
- Honey?
- Yeah?
Do you need dinner tomorrow?
- Hey
- This is my house.
I'm the head of this house.
I can use whichever glass I want.
As for the dinner, do you
really need to know
on the night before?
When your husband suddenly
comes home hungry
as a wife, you should be able
to cook something up for him.
What's going on?
You, too.
You talk to me
only when you want me
to buy you something.
When I talk to you, you always go
to your mum and ignore me.
What am I to you, Kahoko?
Am I just a sponsor
and not a father?
Hey, that's enough.
Shut up!
Weren't you guys fighting
until yesterday?
How can you be like this?
I feel dumb for trying so hard.
At the end of the day,
what you two love
is the money that I bring
and not me.
So why don't you two
keep on living in this house?
I'm so sick of this!
I want to do something
for everyone in my family.
I want them to be happy
and get along with each other.
But I can't do anything,
and I hate myself for it.
I'm sick of being so overprotected.
The princess
in this small kingdom
was raised in this castle
with tender affection and care.
She has always relied on the queen
for everything since she was small.
Kahoko! Wak
No matter what you say, I'll
go see him because I want to.
Hey, Kahoko!
Enough! Be quiet!
You're so annoying.
Don't get in my way, ever!
I like you, Hajime.
It's you that I like.
Huh?
Oh no!
Ahh!
What have I done?
Mum?
The strong tie that used
to connect the two
was starting to fall apart quietly.
What are you doing?
It's nothing.
Can you go wake Kahoko up?
But you always do that.
I'm a bit busy over here.
Can't you at least do that much?
You're her father.
Of course I can, but
So she's still not over
what happened last night.
What are you doing?
Not looking for Kahoko?
No, I'm fine.
Why?
I was just here
to get some fresh air.
But aren't you worried about Kahoko?
Kahoko? What are you doing there?
Let's go inside.
But
I'll apologise to Mum with you.
Good morning.
She still asks that,
even when they're fighting?
And she answers, too?
For the first time, she's wearing
something she wasn't told to wear.
That only makes things worse.
Honey, can you tell Kahoko?
That she doesn't look pretty today.
Really? You think so?
I look good in this, don't I?
- Yeah, sure
- Honey?
Can you tell Kahoko
that I would forgive her
if she apologises about yesterday?
Did you hear what Mum said, Kahoko?
Dad, do I really need to apologise
when I didn't do anything wrong?
- Well
- Honey?
I wonder where our troubled daughter
was last night.
Could it be that she was with
the guy named Mugino?
Is that true, Kahoko?
It's none of her business.
Right, Dad?
Is that so?
From now on, you're on your own.
Tell her that, Honey.
It's fine, then I won't have to hear
you complaining about Mugino.
Tell her that.
Are you seriously going
to go out with him?
Tell her that, Honey.
What if I do? Tell her that, Dad.
Calm down, both of you!
Hot!
But she still gives her a ride
to the station?
I can't stand this anymore!
What kind of food do you want me
to bring home tonight?
Anything is fine.
But if I had to choose,
I'm feeling like mizu-yokan.
- I don't want mizu-yokan at all.
- Tut.
We should go on a holiday in summer.
Where do you want to go?
I want to see dolphins
at an aquarium.
No way, it'll be exhausting.
- It will be full of kids.
- Tut.
Honey, tell her
that her mum is simply worried
about her getting flirted
by the boy and getting hurt.
Dad, tell Mum that she
is getting a wrong idea.
I liked him first and already
confessed my feelings.
Are you serious, Kahoko?
No matter how hard you try to
stop me, I'll still go out with him.
Hey!
Kahoko!
Wait, Kahoko!
See you later.
Here, a cold war like never before
has started in my home.
- There you are!
- It's so hot!
It's hot, isn't it?
I have some cold towels.
That sounds great.
So nice and cold.
I've got some tea, too.
Thank you.
How are you doing today, Kahoko?
Actually, Kahoko
confessed her feelings
to the guy she likes.
What should I do, Tamaki?
I told Mum I'll go out with him
but I'm not sure at all.
Don't be discouraged.
Why don't you go see him?
I can't. I'm too scared to hear
what he will say.
But if you don't,
you will never find out
how he feels about you.
That's true, but
Why do people fall in love?
Why such a philosophical
question, Kahoko?
You two are always lovey dovey,
and I want that, too.
You just don't see it, but we
have some problems, too.
What do you mean?
How can I put this? In your life,
there will be times
when you have secrets and struggles
that you can't tell anyone.
It's hard to get
through those times
without someone
who's there for you.
Mamoru was always there for me
and I was there for him.
You guys have secrets, too?
- What is it?
- That's a secret.
But one thing I can say
is that we both needed each other.
Mummy.
What's wrong? Where's your mummy?
It's going to be okay.
Meeting someone
is an amazing thing.
It gives you a chance
to change yourself.
Isn't that what happened
when you met Mugino?
- See you later.
- Nice work.
Darn.
"Sorry
but I want to focus
on my painting right now
so I can't go out with anyone."
I'm just sugar-coating things
"Sorry
I just don't see a future with you."
Ughit sounds so fake!
"Why don't we
start from being friends?"
I can't do this.
I'm not sure who I am anymore.
Don't just show up like that!
Oh, sorry
I wanted to say hi, but you seemed
busy rehearsing.
No, I wasn't.
Did you hear what I was saying?
Wellyeah
"I'm not sure who I am anymore."
Only that part.
That's good.
What brought you here?
The hot weather continues,
but is everything going fine?
Yes, thanks to you.
I'm hanging in there.
Very good. Goodbye, then.
Hey! Hey!
Why did you come here?
Well
About yesterday
Hmm?
Well
Don't worry about what I said.
It was just me one-sidedly
confessing my feelings.
I'm not asking you to do
anything about it. So
So forget about
all the things I said.
- Goodbye.
- Are you sure?
- Huh?
- You know
I'm not good at relationships,
so I shouldn't be saying this
but shouldn't you be honest
with your feelings?
Otherwise
you'll make the other person
wonder what it was all about.
You're right. I'm sorry!
I like you, Hajime.
Will you go out with me?
Sorry, I can't.
Huh?
I'm sorry, but
someone child-like and overprotected
like you is not really my type.
I see.
Hey! Are you okay?
Sorry, don't get me wrong.
I just don't want you
to get your hopes up.
But you've never seen your parents
arguing everyday
or a pile of debt collection
letters, have you?
A naive rich kid like you
is not a good match for me.
You're right.
I feel better now that
you made things clear.
Alright.
I'm glad.
Okay, then.
Good luck with your painting.
Excuse me.
Is she? Her tail
seems longer today.
Hey, Kahoko?
Oh, Dad.
Is everything okay?
Are you not feeling well?
I'm doing perfect.
Really?
I brought some Baumkuchen for you.
Great. Thank you.
I'm home.
Will you be home
for dinner tomorrow, Honey?
I'm not sure yet, so don't worry.
Okay.
Wow, it's your favourite
omelette rice, Kahoko.
Wash your hands and let's eat.
Dad, can you tell Mum
that I won't be eating dinner?
You've never done that before.
Also, tell her that I got rejected
so she no longer needs to worry.
Shouldn't we go check on her?
Leave her alone. She'll come out
when she gets hungry.
She seems to be happy about this
I'm going to bed.
Are you sure?
Kahoko is still in her room.
Why don't you check on her yourself?
You're her father, sometimes
you have to do it.
What do you mean "sometimes"?
Don't give her snack
even if she is hungry.
It's her penalty
for not eating dinner.
Stand on the father's dignity, okay?
Alright.
Good night.
Kahoko?
Can I come in?
What was that?
Did she really turn into a frog?
I'm coming in!
Hey, cheer up.
If you want, I can find you
a nice guy who understands you.
That's not it.
I'm not sad about getting rejected.
What do you mean?
I thought that I would never
want to eat anything again
but now I'm starving to death
and that makes me sad.
So that sound that I heard earlier
was your stomach growling?
Dad, I have two favours to ask you.
What is it?
The first favour is
to get omelette rice, doughnuts,
and French fries from a store?
Oh, okay.
The second is
to not tell Mum about it?
Where are you going?
Did you by any chance get asked
a favour by Kahoko?
Why does this meerkat
have such good intuition?
It's not like that.
I wanted more beer
but we don't have any left.
Alright, but don't drink too much.
Don't make a mess on the table,
and separate the trash.
I will.
I'm back, Kahoko.
Thank you, Dad.
Are you okay, Kahoko?
Can you get up?
Here, have some.
Here you go.
Don't rush, or you will
choke on the food.
I'm relieved, though.
If you said you would never eat
for the rest of your life
I wouldn't have known what to do.
- Hey, Dad?
- Hmm?
Have you
ever gotten rejected
by someone you like?
Of course I have.
How did you get over it?
How did I do it?
Maybe you just need
to meet someone new.
Maybe, I'll try a dating app, then.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Is there any other way?
Maybe get drunk and forget about it?
Maybe I'll try drinking, then.
Actually, no. You'll be
in big trouble if Mum finds out.
So
how is Mum doing?
Was she happy that I got rejected?
That's not true.
She is really worried
that you got hurt.
Really?
So
why don't you make up
with her soon, Kahoko?
What are you doing?
You scared me.
What is that?
I got hungry when
I went to the store.
These are all Kahoko's
favourite food.
I knew this would happen.
Hey! Wait!
I told you that
this is not flammable.
Hey, why don't you forgive Kahoko?
It seems that Kahoko
wants to make up with you.
I'm begging you.
She got rejected by her first love,
so she's having a hard time.
Alright, I'll think about it.
Really?
You're always so easy on Kahoko.
So overprotective.
- Look who's talking.
- What?
It's nothing.
Think about it, okay?
I always tell myself
the words of Collin Powell.
The most important thing
is to remain calm
and be kind.
Was I a bit too harsh?
What are you doing here, Ito?
You told me to come by anytime.
That's right! Please come in.
By the way
how is
your wrist?
I went to a hospital that
Kahoko's dad introduced me to.
But they also said
that I should give up on cello.
Oh
Alright.
Can I see?
Since you gave this to me
the other day
I've been curious to see
how you paint.
Sure, you can look.
Oh, since you're here
Actually
what do you think about
this painting?
It looks great.
What about this?
It's great, too.
All just great?
That's not true.
Why do you ask that?
You know
lately, I don't know
what exactly I want to paint.
Not picking up?
It's my mother.
She's more upset
about my injury than me.
It's really annoying.
Setsu?
Lately, I wonder
Sure.
if I am really my parents' child.
Sorry!
Maybe there was a switch at birth
at the hospital
and my real parents
are out there somewhere.
If I didn't have
such poor parents
I could've gone to a better school
like any other cello students.
Maybe I'd have never gotten sick.
I don't know about that.
At the end of the day
you blame your parents
about not playing the cello.
I'm not
If you have time to do that,
shouldn't you be talking
with your parents?
They sacrificed everything so
you can have your dream come true.
Who are you to say that?
Oh yeah? Then leave!
I've got to get to my job.
Hey
if you're not sure
about what to paint
I can be your model,
just like this drawing.
Sorry.
But not who you are now.
Fine.
"How to get over a heartbreak"
"Write down all the reasons
why it didn't work out."
Hajime doesn't like
me.
That's it.
"Keep crying until you feel better."
I already cried so much.
"Focus on things you like to do."
I don't really have anything.
"Work on self-improvement."
How can I do that?
"Delete his email address
and phone number."
"Delete this contact?"
What should I do?
Can I come in?
I brought you lunch.
Hey
why don't we all eat together?
I don't want Mum getting in my face.
I still haven't gotten over
what happened.
I understand how you feel
but you won't feel better
if you stay here.
- But
- Why don't we
go to your grandparents'?
Seeing everyone might make
you feel better.
Hold on, Dad.
"Meet accepting people and
get your confidence back"
I want to go.
I'm not going.
What? Why?
Because it's so sudden
and I've got plans.
I have a lot to do, like cleaning
and doing laundry.
Oh, come on!
You just don't want them to know
you and Kahoko are fighting.
She doesn't like her family
to see her weakness.
Welcome, Kahoko!
Sorry to barge in like this.
Are you kidding me?
You guys are always welcome here.
Where is Grandma?
Grandma is
Maybe in the kitchen?
Grandma?
Kahoko! I'm glad you're here.
Is everything okay?
You seem a little down.
No, I'm fine.
What about you? Is everything okay?
Why did you want
to suddenly visit us?
I just wanted to see your faces.
Is that so?
Let's get everyone, then.
What's going on?
Everyone is so quiet today.
Is Izumi on her way, Masataka?
She actually has plans today. Sorry.
Oh, I see. It's so quiet today
because Izumi is not here.
What's wrong, Kahoko?
Is it too salty for you?
You cooking is so good
that I can't stop eating,
which makes me sad.
Why?
Because I just got re
What was it?
Kahoko is a mature woman.
She's got a lot going on.
More beer?
Sure, thanks.
Tamaki?
Something happened?
Why?
You're not talking
to Uncle Mamoru today.
That's true. What's going on?
You guys are always lovey dovey.
It was my fault.
I promised to stop drinking,
but I had a beer last night.
You'd want more and more
and can't stop.
I get that.
I know but I had a stressful day
at work yesterday.
Right, when a guy is
working hard every day
sometimes he needs a drink.
You don't get a say, Dad.
This is a problem between
the two of us.
Why are you so upset?
Setsu
How is Ito doing? Is she okay?
She's fine.
She doesn't really talk to us much
these days.
Hey, there has to be something
that cheers her up.
Setsu?
Huh?
I've been thinking about it,
but can't think of anything.
Are you really okay, Setsu?
You sound absent-minded.
I haven't been motivated
at all these days.
Can you please talk to her?
She just quit her part time job.
It couldn't be helped.
There's no point in saving money
if Ito cannot play the cello.
Come on, don't say such a sad thing.
Alright.
Let me recite a Chinese poem
to cheer you up.
You're such a lucky guy.
You have no worries.
I'm saying, being upset
doesn't get you anywhere.
Alright! Why don't
we order some pizza?
No pizza!
Why not?
I've being putting on
a bit of weight lately.
Besides, Grandma's cooking
is so much better.
You can't say that you got
rejected by a pizza delivery guy.
Alright.
I'll order something else, then.
What do you want? Sushi?
I'll actually have some beer.
Are you sure, Kahoko?
Can't I, Dad?
But you've never had beer before.
It could help her get over
the heartbreak.
Just a glass, okay?
Thanks!
Let me pour you some.
It's Kahoko's very first beer.
Take out the straw.
Alright.
Here you go.
There you go.
Hello, Mum? What's up?
Did you and Kahoko have an argument?
Did Kahoko tell you that?
No, but it's pretty obvious.
Could it be because she
has someone she fancies?
What's the problem?
She is a mature woman.
I'm not saying
that she can't fall in love.
Just saying he's not the right guy.
Are you really?
Wouldn't you want to stop her
no matter who the guy is?
That's not true.
What should we do?
We've got a problem.
Are you really listening?
Why is this happening to me?
You're so stubborn!
No, I'm not!
What are you saying?
That's not what I'm saying.
Cheers!
Now, chug.
Mmm!
Let's just let them be.
Are you not drinking, Masataka?
No, I'm not.
- Are you okay?
- Sorry.
It's been stressful at home.
I needed a drink.
Chug it?
That's enough, Honey.
She needs more.
Are you okay, Kahoko?
You've had quite a lot to drink.
It seems that I'm pretty strong.
True, true!
Grandma?
I'm going to go.
To where?
Kahoko?
Hey, Kahoko!
What are you doing here?
I came here to tell you something.
You smell of liquor. Are you drunk?
What if I was?
Sorry, but I don't like
drunk people.
Can you leave? I'm trying to paint.
Who do you think you are?
- This is too much.
- You idiot!
Whoa! Hey!
What do you think you are doing?
There is no point in painting these.
That's enough!
This is awful.
This is great.
It's incredible.
I'm so moved by this.
You are a genius, after all.
Better than Picasso.
No matter how hard it gets,
never give up.
You paintings will make everyone
in the world happy.
I get it, I get it.
I won't be seeing you anymore
but never give up
on your dream, okay?
Wait, wait.
Alright, alright.
What do you think of this?
This is no good.
Not this, either!
Not good at all.
Out of the question!
Oh my gosh!
Hey, hey!
Stop!
What?
Oh no!
Don't throw up!
What were you thinking?
Why did you let her drink?
Your dad told me to.
Then, why
Why didn't you stop her from
going to see the boy?
Kahoko can run fast.
I knew this would happen.
This is why I can't trust you
with Kahoko.
- Hey, you don't
- What?
Don't. The most important thing
is to remain calm and be kind.
Hey
don't push too hard.
You're so good at everything,
so you work too hard
for the house and Kahoko
I know that it's because
I'm not very reliable
but I'll do whatever
I can from now on.
So please give in this time.
Kahoko liked someone
for the first time.
It's you who she really
wants to talk to.
That's right.
I guess I was being stubborn.
Thanks for understanding.
I might have a good chance
this time.
Hey, Izumi.
Are you okay, Kahoko?
You going?
Take care of her until the end.
I was just about to say
something nice.
What happened to me?
You got drunk, and Mugino
dropped you off here again.
Are you okay?
I'm getting flashbacks
of the awful things I did.
I want to die. My life is over.
Calm down.
Why didn't you stop me?
I definitely can't see him anymore.
I don't know what happened, but
Leave me alone.
I'm such a worthless person.
I should stay in this room forever.
Don't say such a thing.
Honey?
Is she coming to save me?
You've got a call from your mum.
Really? She's going back?
Hello? What's up, Mum?
We've got a problem.
I need your help.
What's wrong?
Kyoko's business partner
disappeared with their money.
She can't do the computer classes
anymore.
What? Just leave her alone.
But she's got some debt.
It's quite a lot of money.
"A bond of debt"
Give me a break.
I don't have time for this.
"For Rent"
Here is tomorrow's weather.
Hokkaido and Kanto regions
will have a clear sky.
What are you doing, Kyoko?
What are you going to do? You were
so sure about your computer classes.
It's alright.
I'm trying to come up
with a new method.
What does that even mean?
What will you do with the debt?
"A bond of debt"
Three million yen?
You're troubling us again.
It's because you complain so much
that things never work out for me.
Just leave me alone.
You know this isn't good a time
to take a nap, Dad.
I know.
I'll deal with it tomorrow.
When will that "tomorrow" come
for him?
What should we do?
This isn't good.
This wouldn't have happened if you
made things clearer.
That's right.
So it's my fault?
I have a headache.
Wait, you too?
Is this really okay?
At this rate, my family will be
like this in no time.
"I'll never come see you again,
so don't worry."
I'm sorry for barging in.
It's fine. What's going on?
I'm sorry, but could you
keep meeting with my daughter,
of course, as a friend?
Life is strange.
I thought if Kahoko
ever dated anyone
I would be against it
no matter who he was.
But when I saw her being
so heartbroken about you
I wanted to do something for her.
Just like how my wife and I
can't live without Kahoko,
Kahoko can't live without you.
She is trying to grow up now
so she needs someone
who can tell her honestly.
It's embarrassing, but my wife and I
always end up overprotecting her.
To tell you the truth
I don't think I can stand
my wife and daughter
not talking to each other
any longer.
So, I'm begging you.
Alright.
Thank you.
But in return
can you do me a favour?
Of course. Tell me anything.
You look
pretty good.
Really? Do you think so?
Could he be?
"Can we meet up really quick?"
No way!
Sorry to bother you.
It's fine.
What's up?
Can you take a look at something?
What do you think?
This is incredible!
You really are a genius.
Better than Picasso.
I get it! You don't
need to say anymore.
But in return
don't say you'll never see me again.
Honestly
I can't see you that way right now.
But you know
Well
I need you.
When you say
you like my paintings
I can trust that it's not
a lie or flattery
but you genuinely mean what you say.
It gives me confidence.
It might not be what you want
but can you
look at my paintings
and give me feedback sometimes?
- I will.
- Great.
Yes! I'm glad.
Alright, then.
I need to go to work.
Have fun.
I'll see you tomorrow.
What's going on?
What's that face?
I
I've never had this before.
What is it now?
"See you tomorrow"
I never knew that was
such a wonderful phrase.
In this world
to have someone who needs me
besides my family
and for that person to want
to see me all the time
is such an amazing thing.
It's like
I've been told that
it's okay for me to live.
See you tomorrow.
I waited in a queue for two hours
to get the pastries
you've always wanted
so stop fighting and eat
the pastries together.
I'm home.
Here it is.
Look.
You were so nervous.
I'm home.
Welcome back.
What are you doing?
Watching a video.
Her entrance ceremony.
You should join us. I looked
the cutest when I was this age.
Let's see what you got.
I wonder what we have for today.
It's dorayaki pastry.
Yay!
I'll make some tea.
Did you guys make up?
Why?
Did you guys have a talk?
We don't need to do that.
We understand each other.
Yeah, but
Did you apologise to Mum, Kahoko?
Yeah, Hajime told me I should.
He also told me not to get you
worried, and I think he's right.
Is that so?
Is she not going
to thank me at all?
Oh, I forgot something.
I want an art book of Picasso.
Can you go with me to get it?
Yeah, sure.
Thank you. I love you, Dad.
Thank you for waiting.
- Here's the pastry.
- Pastry!
It doesn't fully make sense,
but I guess I should be happy.
He only captured Kahoko,
so we can't see anyone else.
Film Grandma and Grandpa, too.
Sorry.
I'm being so shy.
I've told you many times
that you can't use that glass.
Sorry.
The important thing is
to remain calm and be kind.
I'll go and get changed.
- Honey?
- Yeah?
Do you need dinner tomorrow?
- Hey
- This is my house.
I'm the head of this house.
I can use whichever glass I want.
As for the dinner, do you
really need to know
on the night before?
When your husband suddenly
comes home hungry
as a wife, you should be able
to cook something up for him.
What's going on?
You, too.
You talk to me
only when you want me
to buy you something.
When I talk to you, you always go
to your mum and ignore me.
What am I to you, Kahoko?
Am I just a sponsor
and not a father?
Hey, that's enough.
Shut up!
Weren't you guys fighting
until yesterday?
How can you be like this?
I feel dumb for trying so hard.
At the end of the day,
what you two love
is the money that I bring
and not me.
So why don't you two
keep on living in this house?
I'm so sick of this!
I want to do something
for everyone in my family.
I want them to be happy
and get along with each other.
But I can't do anything,
and I hate myself for it.
I'm sick of being so overprotected.
