Ever since I've known you
you've been the only one I loved.
I need to make some preparations in the kitchen.
See you later.
You saw us!
I didn't see anything.
You're really bad at lying.
Sorry.
Why apologize?
I need to prepare breakfast.
Arare.
Didn't you
hate Ken?
I love him.
FUKUYADOU HONPO: KYOTO LOVE STORY
EPISODE 10 CUDDLY FEELINGS
An office romance?
Yeah, it's about my friend.
She had a crush on this guy for a long time,
and, the other day, her feelings finally reached him.
She asked him out so many times
and got rejected every time.
No worries.
-That's tough. -But,
apparently, it wasn't a one-sided love.
The guy also loved the girl
the whole time.
No worries.
What do you mean?
So the girl asked him out
and the guy said no.
The girl still asked him out.
The guy still said no.
Did the guy tease her so she'd love him more?
More like he was worried about what the others would think of them.
That's the hard part about office romance.
They're both working at the same place.
They felt like they had extra responsibility
if they started dating.
No worries.
I just remembered I have to do some other work.
I need to check Kirimura's delivery.
What's wrong with them?
-You were acting weird. -You too.
-I was fine. -So was I.
Anyway, we need to act normal.
Got it. Normal.
Like before. Normally.
-What were we like before? -Huh?
Anyway, we can't let them find out until we talk to the Proprietress.
We know.
It's so obvious.
No way. How did you find out?
Well,
I've known you two for a long time.
And I'm happy for you.
You don't need to hide your relationship.
Be confident
about letting the others know.
I can't do that.
Sei, could you please keep this a secret a little longer?
Why?
I'm not going to hear the end of it if Mom finds out.
She's going to be all proud and say,
"See, I told you so."
So what?
It's frustrating.
I had feelings for Ken
even before Mother said it.
I gave up on this relationship when my sister was supposed to marry him.
But I couldn't stop my feelings.
Saying it like that would fix everything.
Just go tell your mother
exactly what you just told me.
I know but...
What is it?
I'm worried about my sister, too.
Anyway, please keep this a secret for now.
Okay.
I'm happy for you.
Off to work.
Isn't it painful?
Living like that.
Isn't it painful?
It is painful.
I am in pain,
Hinoyama.
So you're getting divorced?
See, I told you
that it wouldn't work out.
You came all this way just to ridicule me?
You must be very bored.
It's important for my sweet son.
Are you satisfied that it ended this way?
What a mean way to talk to your mother.
I really am worried about you.
Do I look like I'm depressed?
If not, I wouldn't come all the way to Ashiya.
I want to be alone.
So,
could you please leave?
Don't tell me you're thinking of killing yourself.
Of course not.
Over something like this.
I mean,
the marriage wasn't even officially registered.
Are you kidding?
I wish I was.
I guess
it was good
that it ended this way.
Anyway,
there's no need to worry about me.
After Father died,
you left the family home.
I'm used to losing people.
You will never forgive me, will you?
Not now, not ever.
Regardless whether I forgive you or not,
weren't you the one who ran away?
From me.
From Father.
Why did you get married?
A lot of people want connections with Nichirin Foods.
You could've married anyone.
It's because I loved him.
I loved him.
I knew he had a girlfriend,
a famous geiko in Hanamachi.
And I knew I was chosen to be his wife
so that they wouldn't be together.
After you were born
and we became a family,
I hoped he would someday have feelings for me.
I just hoped,
and didn't do anything.
And as I did nothing,
he went back to his girlfriend.
We began to drift
farther and farther apart.
And then,
he died in an accident,
together with that woman.
How disappointing
life can be.
I should've told him,
"I love you.
"Break up with her and be with me."
But, at the time,
I just couldn't put my feelings into words.
I just hated her
and felt frustrated.
You're right.
I was always running away.
From troubles.
From being hurt.
That's why I know, Kaoru,
why you're here.
You ran away, didn't you?
From Hina.
I'm leaving.
I have a flight to catch.
Take care.
You, too.
Kaoru,
wherever in the world you may go,
you can't run away from your own feelings.
Why did you choose me?
Welcome home.
I should've told him,
"I love you."
FUKUYADOU HONPO
Please leave.
I can't let you see Hina.
Please.
I want to talk to her properly.
You know, Hinoyama,
I was against this marriage
from the very beginning.
And this is how it turned out.
Even if you weren't officially married in the register,
it's still a disgrace.
You put a scar
on my daughter's life.
Please,
don't do anything more.
Hinoyama just visited.
We talked.
He apologized.
He was sorry
for what happened.
Hina.
Why
did you marry him?
Mother.
Why
did you marry father?
Because
he was
an artisan of this store.
-So he became... -That's not true.
Because you loved him.
Mother,
you married him
because you loved him.
I wanted to do that too.
I wanted to be with someone
I loved.
That's all.
That was all.
But it all ended.
I'm coming in.
Sei made this.
Can you eat?
I told Ken
that I love him.
I told him twice.
The first time he avoided it.
The second time he rejected it.
But the third time,
my feelings finally got through.
We finally connected with each other.
Sis,
we talked about what it means to love someone.
There's no answer to it.
To love,
or to love someone.
Loving someone is painful,
it's hard.
How long do we have to endure these feelings?
Feeling like your chest will rip itself apart.
It's true,
but it's warm.
When you're hugged by someone you love
your heart warms up.
You don't need an answer.
That's something you can come up with later.
Don't think.
Just jump into his arms.
You love him, right?
Then you need to run after him.
That was a good speech, Arare.
That was the first time your mother heard that.
Brother.
I heard you're getting divorced.
Is it my fault?
It's not your fault.
It's mine.
Satoko.
What?
You can no longer come here.
No.
You're the only one I have.
I don't need anything else as long as I have you.
You're the only one I want.
Hina.
-Hina... -Don't go.
Please,
Brother.
Hina.
No.
I don't want this anymore!
Let go of me!
Why do I have to go through this?
Even though
I just love you.
I loved you
and wanted to be with you.
That's all I wanted.
Why must I suffer so much?
I just want to know one thing.
Hinoyama,
do you...
I love you.
I love you more than anyone else.
So please,
don't leave me.
Stay by my side.
Hina...
When you do certain things,
there are steps you need to follow.
I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
You're the one who told me to marry Ken.
What about it?
I don't want to admit it,
but it turned out the way you wanted it to, didn't it?
Why are you upset?
As I said,
-certain things have... -Ah! Enough!
I'm sick of hearing that!
What did you say?
-Why must you always... -Proprietress.
I'm sorry we didn't tell you sooner.
I thought
I should tell Arare first but...
I
want to be together with Arare forever.
-You cannot. -What are you saying, Mother?
I told you.
You have to follow certain steps to get there.
I know that if you marry Ken, you're going to be relieved
and wouldn't put effort into learning how to become a proprietress.
That's what this is about?
I am certain.
You get carried away easily.
You first need to train and become a proper proprietress.
If you become independent enough
to take the responsibility
of being the 18th owner of Fukuyadou...
Ken.
Would you take Arare
as your wife?
Yes.
Thank you, Mother!
See!
You're already getting carried away.
If your head stays in the clouds like that
you'll never be able to get married.
He will leave you too.
-It's fine. -Oh, really?
Even Ken will eventually grow impatient if you train too slowly.
Well, if that happens, we still have Hana.
She will be 20 in 5 years.
If you can't marry Arare,
you can choose Hana.
Mother.
I'm joking.
Time for dinner.
It doesn't sound like a joke when she says it.
Ken.
Arare.
Don't get carried away.
I can't wait for five years.
You need to try hard
or else you won't know what'll happen.
Eh?
Later.
No way.
Wait up, Ken!
Kenji!
To: Iori Tomo
Iori, how are you?
We have some happy news.
Hina got back together with Hinoyama.
This time, they are officially married.
Please take care of Hina.
I will.
It's easy to just say so.
Arare.
How dare you talk like that to your brother-in-law?
I can't help it. I don't like him.
-What? -But
he's the one Hina loves.
If he can make Hina happy,
I will do my best to like him.
I don't really need you to like me.
But I will make her happy.
She's the only one I have.
-Stop flirting. -It's fine.
Right?
No, it's not. It's bad for Hana's education.
-Eh? Why? -Because!
You're the same with Ken.
Eh? What?
-Well... -Hana!
-Arare's in... -Excuse me.
These are our new sweets.
Here you go.
It's so cute.
Ken made this to celebrate your marriage.
I expressed two hearts becoming one in these sweets.
Hana met you
and thought she should be able to live as freely as she wants.
Thank you.
Congratulations.
Thank you, Ken.
Arare,
you make us some tea.
-Why me? -What do you mean, why?
Serving guests is part of the proprietress' duties.
I want to eat, too.
There's none for you.
-Why? -What do you mean, why?
I don't even want to explain.
Have fun.
Why isn't there any cake for me?
I feel like it won't be long
before I'll also be referring to Ken as my brother.
But what makes me happiest
is that there are smiles in our family again.
Arare's roaring with laughter.
Hina is smiling cheerfully.
And, this time,
next to those two are Hinoyama and Ken.
Hello.
-Kenji? -What's up, bro?
Dad has collapsed.
I hope these smiles will last forever.
Wouldn't it be nice if they continued to exist forever?
Is he still in Osaka?
NEXT EPISODE
His father's still ill.
Kenji, can you come back home?
You're not going to leave me, right?
Are you coming back?
Dad!
Call an ambulance!
THIS DRAMA IS A FICTION.
ANY RESEMBLANCE TO ACTUAL PEOPLE IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL. THANK YOU!
