"As if I would say that." "What?" "If you go home with your eyes swollen even your unobservant husband would notice something was wrong." "I know that." "Get it together." "What are you going to do if he finds out, like what happened with me?" "Both of you don't mess around, if he finds out about this, it'll be over." "You'll lose everything you have." "Your husband will never trust anybody again." "I don't care how bad you're hurting, you have to bring this to the grave." "Aren't you hurt, Rikako-san?" "In a normal relationship, you're allowed to cry and pity yourself." "You can take it out on your friends, binge eat, even go on a trip." "But you have to keep an affair a secret, even after it's over." "All we can do is go back to our boring everyday lives before we met them." "There's no way I'm not hurting." "But... this is part of having an affair." "Good." "Just go back to your everyday routine, like you did everyday." "Everyday routine... like I did everyday." "Yuichiro!" "Come look at this!" "Yuichiro!" "Hmm?" " Hurry?" " What is it?" "Professor Nyuki likes my thesis!" "Nyuki?" "A breakthrough in the study..." "That's amazing!" "Give me my reward." "I quit trying." "A normal wife is boring." "I am your wife, but we did research together as a team." "Normal people wouldn't be able to break that bond, don't you think?" "That's true." "You should cherish me." "You have a special wife." "Tighter." "This way!" "We've had an amazing response, everyone wants to know about the artist." "We've received so many questions already." "I knew I could count on you!" "Access numbers to the site have gone through the roof." "I'm glad I put our personal differences aside and asked you to do the cover." " Are we ready?" " Yes, standing by." "Here we go!" "It's a historical moment with the hot upcoming artist and talented editor!" "What's wrong?" "Smile!" "[You talk to your subjects through art." "Artists are a lonely sort...]" "Mana, what happened, you're all wet!" "Oh no, you should have called me if you didn't have an umbrella with you." "But you don't have your cell phone!" "Oh, that's right, I'm sorry." "I can do it myself." "Why don't you take a shower?" "We're having your favorite chicken katsu and potato soup... and Hina's favorite bean salad." "Yay!" "I don't like chicken katsu anymore." "What?" "I don't like potato soup either." "Is something wrong?" "No, I just don't like them anymore." "Mana?" "I'm home." "Hi." "It's so humid because of these evening thunderstorms." "Hi, Mihamu and Hamusuke." "Papa's home!" "My boring everyday routine was back again." "I brought in the paper." "Thanks!" "It's the end of the month already..." "It almost seems like everything that happened with him was a dream." "Just a dream that an average housewife had during her afternoon nap." "No, it was not a dream." "If it was just a dream, it wouldn't put me through so much pain." "I'm going to run to the store." "But I'm hungry." "I'll be right back." "Sawa-chan!" "It seems God is not so easily forgiving." "Love Affairs In the Afternoon" "[Episode 7]" "Sawa-chan!" "I'm sorry about yesterday, I was in a hurry." "No, it's fine." "But you left suddenly the other day, too." "So, I was wondering what was up." "Oh... thanks." "I just felt a little sick." "Is it because I kept rambling on about myself?" "Maybe!" "What!" "But things have been better with my husband since I talked to you." " I see." " Uh huh." "When I did what Rikako-san told me to do and stopped nagging him... he stopped holding back and hugged me." "That's great!" "Your husband's crush was just in your imagination." "I don't think so." "I think my hunch was accurate." "He definitely had somebody else." "Maybe things just happened that way." "I don't think so." "He's no smart talker, it can't be that easy for him to find a woman." "You're weird Sawa-chan, you sound like you know my husband." "Well, I was just guessing." "From his being a high school biology teacher." "Did I tell you he taught high school?" "Yes, you told me the other day." "Really." "I wanted to talk to you while we were still in summer break." "A talk?" "With you?" "About what?" "I wanted to talk to you while we were still in summer break." "A talk?" "With you?" "About what?" "Kinoshita." "You've lost something important." "I don't want to see you graduate like this." "You haven't gotten over your mother leaving, right?" "I thought about it, and I'm sure your mother hasn't forgotten about you." "As if." "She's shacked up with a younger man, she hasn't given me a single thought." "No." "Even if she's found a new life, I'm sure she's hurting too and has regrets." "Teacher." "Who are you talking about?" "What do you mean?" "Why don't you ask the principal?" "I'm going." "Wait!" "Give me back my cell phone." "I can't even contact Mana and Hina, it's terribly inconvenient." "Just use the landline if you need to talk to them." "Have them call that number, too." "I can't even text message with my friends." "Do you have such an urgent matter that needs a text?" "Please." "Give me my phone." "That reminds me, I've canceled all your credit cards." "From now on, budget the living allowances I've given you." "Tell me if you don't have enough." "Are you going to trap me here the rest of my life?" "Your husband is not such a sneaky man." "Of course you are." "To take my phone and credit cards in revenge." "If you don't like it, you're welcome to leave." "You say that, but you know I could never leave my children." "What's wrong?" "You're always calm, but you look so angry now." "No good." "Smile!" "Don't waste your beautiful looks." "Listen, all you need to do is smile all the time." "Not like you're capable of doing anything else." "Do you know why I always managed to keep a calm smile on my face?" "What?" "Do you know how I managed to take care of the home and children everyday?" "What it took for me to see you out the door with a smile on my face... when you never help with the children but just complain?" "You need to shut up." "How I cheerfully ironed your clothes, when you said all I was good for was my looks and you would do anything with women you felt like doing?" "Shut up!" "It was because I had affairs." "Because I had someone to comfort me, away from you." "Apologize!" "You haven't apologized to me once about this whole thing!" "If you want to stay in this house, get down on your knees and beg to me to let you stay." "I will not apologize." "What did you say to me?" "You're trying to justify your actions after sleeping with a man like that?" "It's not just him." "I slept with other men I met online, too." "What..." "They had no talent or money compared to you." "There were some that were just trash." "But not one of them looked down on me like you always do." "Are you stupid?" "Are you stupid!" "Don't you understand they just humored you to sleep with you!" "And that was fine with me!" "Just to have a single moment of having someone desire me... was a hundred times better than getting nothing from you!" "Get out." "Love is a difficult trap for a wife." "But we never see that until we get hurt and lose everything that we had." "I told..." "Sawa-san about the affair." "Why?" "You have to learn to trust your wife and become a real family... so I thought she needed to know about your father's shameful past too." "You meant Dad's affair?" "Oh!" "Who else is there?" "Nobody." "She's waving at you." "It's fine." "What's fine?" "What has gotten in to you?" "Who is she?" "That's not your wife, is it?" "Wife?" "Come on, that's my mother." "That's too bad, I was going to say hello if she was your wife." "You really need to stop with this." "So, I was just a fling to you?" "A fling?" "It's not like we did anything." "Do you think you're innocent just because we haven't had sex?" "Nice to meet you!" "Mr. Sasamoto takes such good care of me!" "I'll be sure to invite him out more!" "See you!" "All right, I got that about the meeting." "She just works for me, that's all." "Shunsuke, you and that girl..." "As if!" "I will not permit this!" "And with a coworker, you're just like your father!" "Stop it, nothing is going on." "Look at me!" "Look at your mother!" "Are you certain that there is nothing with that girl?" "Nothing." "How dare you!" "Hello!" "You look busy!" "I will not permit this!" "Not an affair!" "Can I borrow some money?" "Do you have any idea what he's talking about?" "No." "I've met with a woman before, but it's not that kind of relationship." "Ow!" "Ow!" "A scandal can destroy a teacher's career." "All you can do is apologize and go home." "Let's have your husband pick you up." "I don't what kind of trouble you might have put this woman in." "This may be my last chance." "Last chance?" "To get a divorce, and live on my own." "What are you talking about?" "You always said to never let an affair ruin a family." "It might be your husband." "He probably thought you were here." "Coming!" "Oh you're here again." "You two really are such good friends." "I'm sorry." "I actually ran away from home today." "Ran away?" "She's just joking." "She just had a little fight with her husband." "Oh, I see." "Any couple fights, don't they!" "Let's eat this together." "Is that cake?" "Stop looking so surprised and make some tea." "But Mother, you've never bought cake before!" "Stop making me sound so cheap!" "I came here to have a chat with you." "A chat..." "What was the fight about?" "Um..." "Mother?" "You should stop being nosy about other people's marriages." "Was it about an affair?" "I knew it!" "What is wrong with all these men!" "All these men?" "This is quite embarrassing, but my dead husband cheated on me, too." "I decided to bear with the pain and ended up staying with him to the end." "Mother, she doesn't want to hear about that." "Why not?" "She's stuck in the same situation." "Sawa-san, there might be a day when you have to deal with Shunsuke's affair, too." "Is Shunsuke-san having an affair?" "Oh no, I'm just saying, what if!" "If that happens, I'll be on your side." "I'll promptly make him break up with the other woman." "I'm jealous you have such an understanding mother-in-law, Sawa-chan." "Don't you think so?" "But, I don't think it's necessarily the right thing to do to bear with that shame." "It would be a lie just to be together for the sake of not getting divorced." "What about your children?" "Of course, they should come first." "But I don't think they want to live with parents that are lying to them and each other." "Are you really thinking of divorce?" "That should never be an option." "I agree." "What will you do after that?" "You've lived such a pampered life, how are you going to manage without it?" "I thought I never would be able to." "But when my husband hit me today..." "I realized I'm not the kind of woman to just let it go and smile." "He hit you?" "I never thought much about myself, but I think I can work too, if I need to." "You don't get it!" "Do you know how hard it is to work?" "I work everyday, and I only get 80,000 yen ($800) a month!" "Can you really raise two children who take violin lessons?" "Sawa-san, you're becoming too heated..." "It's fine!" "This one has dragged me into all her problems." "What does that mean?" "Mother, please be quiet." "Go back home." "I won't forgive you if you sadden Mana and Hina." "So, do I have to stay in that prison forever?" "To cling to a home I'm trapped in, with my phone and cards taken away from me?" "He does that on top of cheating and beating you?" "No!" "I'm not telling you to run away." "You need to apologize and make your husband understand." "You're the one who doesn't get it." "I would be running away if I went back to my life as if nothing happened." "Children grow up, they don't stay innocent forever." "They start to understand what their parents are thinking." "That's why I thought I should make my decision now." "So you're saying I don't get it because I don't children?" "I never said that." "Yes, she never said that." "You're going to have children." "I'm not talking about that right now!" "What has gotten in to you, talking to me like that..." "Oh, I'm sorry, what's going on?" " You're home." " Yes, um, hi." "We were just having a chat." "That wasn't a chat, I think." "It's normal when us woman are talking amongst ourselves." "I don't think that was normal." "I had so much fun." "I'll be going now." "I guess girl talk is a lot of fun!" "You think you're so slick." "What?" "Sawa-san, I wasn't being metaphorical when I said that earlier." "I'll leave when I finish eating this." "I'd never spoken my mind like that to anybody." "Having an affair did make me stronger." "I wonder if he's spending everyday like he always did, or..." " Oh, it's you." " Good evening." "I told you Sawa-chan finishes work at three o'clock." "I know, but could you give this to her tomorrow?" "A love letter?" "No." "What's wrong?" "You look so serious." "I always look like this." "Excuse me." "Did you break up with her?" "Sawa-chan has been acting weird lately, too." "You don't need to hide anything from me." "It's hard isn't it." "It can be hard for men to get over love, too." "I can't get over her until I have her one more time." "But... there are times we can't act on what we desire." "When we have to give up no matter what it takes." "I thought you were way too serious and lame." "But, now I see how you could be appealing." "Rikako ran away from home." "She may come here." "If she does, please turn her away." "I told you I would never see her again." "I know." "An artist shouldn't waste the fame he's finally getting for his work." "Rikako started out as a model that I scouted on the street." "She had this funny power of captivating men since when she was young." "All the men walking by would all turn around and look at her." "I wanted that woman." "She wasn't interested in an older man at first." "I'm not handsome at all." "But, I had a powerful job and family, money as weapons." "Once she got a whiff of that it was easy." "A piece of cake." "Considering that, she's just a normal woman." "Yes, you'll find them anywhere." "That's because that's all you're looking for in her." "What?" "Nothing." "If you have something to say, say it." "I am the one who brought your talent out to the world." "What is Rikako to you?" "What kind of question is that?" "She's my wife." "I don't think so." "She's your doll." "You wanted a doll that was called a wife." "A beautiful and obedient doll that people would be envious of." "But, you left her on the shelf gathering dust." "You only bring out your doll, clean her up a bit when you have visitors." "I had no idea you had such deep thoughts for Rikako." "So, you were serious..." "But, I can't give her to you." "I still haven't recovered my investment." "That's not what I want!" "I don't have the means to keep her here anyway." "But..." "But?" "I know very well that she is not a doll." "Please fire me." "I won't." "You'll work under me forever." "No matter how famous you become!" "I'm home!" "Mommy!" "You're late!" "I'm sorry I couldn't call!" "I'll make dinner right away." "We ate already." "I'm impressed, you cooked something yourself." "I thought you weren't coming home anymore." "Why would I do that?" "Should I cut some fruit?" "Don't exert yourself." "Why don't you go back to your man?" "What man is she talking about?" "I wonder who it is?" "Hina, did you finish your journal?" "Go finish that in your room before you get too sleepy." "Okay!" "When you finish, I'll put some vanilla ice cream on pears for you." "What's wrong, Mana?" "You're acting weird lately." "You're the one who's been weird, Mom." "You come home late all the time." "I saw you crying by the pay phone the other day." "You saw that?" "I was just talking to your grandmother." "Don't lie to me!" "You broke up with a man, didn't you?" "Did you think I didn't know?" "I knew everything." "You would go out and meet men whenever we were in school." "On those days, your make up and clothes were different." "You made a bigger dinner." "You were nicer to Dad!" "Mana..." "Don't touch me!" "I was going to keep it a secret." "If everyone was going to be happy if only I was quiet..." "I hate you!" "I don't want to see your face!" "He gave you this?" "It's in your hands now." "[We said we would never contact each other, I'm sorry.]" "[The student who broke in the car happened to see us together at the park.]" "[I'll be careful to not trouble you, but I wanted you to know just in case.]" "[Please take care.]" "[The tsuku-tsuku-boshi (cicada species) crying sounds like 'yummy tsukutsuku' to me.]" "[Kitano Yuichiro]" "His handwriting was neat and precise, just like him." "It wasn't a flowery letter, but he wrote about the cicadas at the end." "I felt content reading that, even if I couldn't see him." "What's wrong, Yuichiro?" "Nothing, I just thought the tsuku-tsuku-boshi are out early this year." "Right, that's because there's fewer giant brown cicadas isn't it?" "Yes." "You don't have summer school today?" "Uh huh." "Then, let's go watch a movie." "It's been a long time since we've been on a date." "Uh huh." "This is Takigawa." "Please leave a message." "It's me." "Please take care of Mana and Hina." "[To Mana To Hina]" "I left the divorce agreement on your desk." "There are meals that should last a while in the refrigerator." "Please let me talk to you about the details of the divorce later." " You look happy today." " What?" "Something was bothering you recently." "You looked gloomy." "Nothing happened, it's just been so hot recently." "I know." "Hello." "What are you doing here?" "I finished work early, so I thought I would go home with you." "You're almost done right?" "Yes, but..." "This is my husband." "This is Mineko-san." "Hello, Mineko-san." "I liked that movie, this actress was perfect for the part of the mistress." "Uh huh." "What do you want to eat for dinner today?" "Uh..." "All you say is 'uh'." "Next stop is Supermarket Sekisho." "Let's go shopping before we go home." "Thanks for waiting." "It must be hard." "Working everyday at a place like this." "A place like this?" "I'm having fun, too." "I see." "We need to start looking for our own house soon." "What's up with you?" "You're acting strange." "You come pick me up, and then you suddenly bring up house hunting." "Really?" "That girl my mother saw yesterday?" "I can't say that there's absolutely nothing between us." "Oh, no!" "I swear that we're not cheating or being physically intimate." "She's trying to seduce me." "You, Papa?" "What's wrong, Yuichiro?" "Hurry up." "Are you getting off or not?" "She's really annoying me, I can't ignore her since she works for me." "So?" "It's better than not being attractive." "What are you doing?" "Let's go to the supermarket?" "Can we go somewhere else?" "What?" "Is there something here?" "Is there somebody here?" "I'm glad you don't get jealous, Mama." "Do you remember Yamamoto?" "His wife gets jealous so easily." "Is there someone here?" "No." "Then we're going, come on." "What do the cicadas sound like to you?" "What?" "Tsuku-tsuku boshi, no?" "I've always thought since I was younger that the 'tsuku tsuku' comes later." "Really?" "What's wrong?" "I forgot something!" "Sorry, I'm going to run get it." "Sawa-chan!" "Sawa-chan!" "She's calling you." "You don't know her?" "Hello." "This is a surprise." "Your husband?" "Yes, my husband." "You too?" "Yes." "We just went to watch a movie." "It's been so long since we went out, just the two of us." "This is Sawa-chan, my friend that I met at this supermarket." "Oh, yes." "Nice to meet you." "It's been so nice to be acquainted with your wife." "This is Noriko-san and Kitano-sensei." "Nice to meet you." "Do you live close by?" "Oh, yes!" "Do you want to have tea, the four of us?" "You live close by right, can we stop by your house, Sawa-chan?" "No, my place is messy right now." "We can't barge in on them." "I'm sorry." "Why not?" "They can come over next time." "Wouldn't it be nice to all be friends?" "Yes, sure." "My wife always keeps a tidy home." "[I love Kato-san's use of color...]" "[His work is so original...]" "Your door is always unlocked, don't you need to be more careful?" "Your paintings will get stolen." "Whatever." "I'm a thief, too." "Did my husband tell you that you stole me?" "You're not a thief anymore." "I signed my end of a divorce agreement and left my home." "My husband would always say all I was good for was my looks." "He would always call me dumb." "He was right." "I always... pretended to be smart... my cover is blown." "I'm dumb." "[Divorce Agreement]" "Please come in!" "Thank you!" "Please." "No one will help us." "The two of us stepped in to a dark forest, together." "Subtitles by DramaFever" "Which one of you started this?"
