(Deposit balance)
Alright.
With this,
I can go anywhere with Senpai,
and we should be okay for a while.
It was good to save New Year's money!
Since Hoshizawa Senpai
is the son of a wealthy family,
he probably doesn't even think
about money, right?
(From K)
Dear Miyata-kun,
you got played.
- I made a bet... - I made a bet
where you'd run off with him.
Before anger or sadness,
what came first was
intense embarrassment.
I wanted to disappear from this world.
"Love is Better the Second Time Around"
"Episode 5"
I heard you started your own business
while still in university.
Yes.
At the time,
I thought I could do anything
just because I liked it.
It was like I was running
with just my feelings.
That's remarkable initiative.
What was the motivation
behind starting a winery?
Ah...
I fell in love.
My relatives owned a sake brewery,
and initially, I helped out there.
But during my study abroad in France,
I encountered wine.
And the moment I tasted it,
I knew I couldn't love anything else.
What are your future goals?
My current dream is to
elevate the brand value of Koshu wine
and let it soar
even further into the world.
You have a wonderful dream.
Well, having a vision is important.
At first, you may be able to
run on love alone,
but that won't last for a long time.
To protect what you love,
you have to be prepared
and have a clear vision.
You think so too, don't you, Miyata-san.
Yes.
That's right.
I believe in you...
in my wine.
I'm sorry, you even gave me your wine.
No, no.
Oh, Miyata-san.
Takashi will never be yours.
Give up.
Huh?
(Until we meet again) Au revoir.
It's a French-style farewell.
Wait, please.
You'll be abandoned again,
just like that time.
You saw that photo, right?
I bet that you would come.
Sugimoto-san is...
You didn't come that day.
And in the end,
because rumors spread about
him running off with another guy,
Takashi was put up for adoption.
Au revoir.
He's the one
who sent that photo.
What is he to Senpai?
(Is Sugimoto-san Senpai's...) Is Sugimoto-san Senpai's...
Let's stop.
He's probably just another fling.
I won't forgive you
if you're still involved with him,
Senpai.
Miyata-san,
thank you very much for today,
it was reassuring to
have you by my side.
Ah, yeah.
Sugimoto-san was wonderful, wasn't he?
As expected of someone
who studied in France,
he was so passionate.
Oh, was my interview okay?
I think it was good.
So next time, you can do it alone...
Miyata-kun,
I'll count on you for the next time too.
It's the duty of a deputy editor
to train Sato-san properly.
Alright.
(Porthill Yokohama)
Miyata-kun, you're the
deputy chief editor now.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
But coming to such
a luxurious restaurant like this...
Don't I seem out of place?
You fit right in.
Seriously, the night view
here is stunning.
Makes you feel like you're really
working in the city.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
Huh?
Congratulations again, Miyata-kun.
Shall I take a photo for you?
Please do.
Over here, over here.
Let me take your picture.
Alright. Cheese.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I'm not happy at all.
I like your face,
it's great!
You're seriously the worst, Senpai.
I'm the type who
feeds bait to caught fish.
I was starting to
like you a bit recently,
but now I think I hate you.
Seems like I messed up.
Hey...
Hey, Miyata-kun.
Do you want to live together?
Ah. Sorry,
living together is
a bit too much for me.
I've had a bad experience before,
so I'm a bit wary.
You casually talk about your ex, huh?
So, I can't accept this.
Keep it.
You can use it when you
come visit me.
For now, it's enough.
I got it.
I was actually happy.
But
if I rush forward with
just feelings of love
and end up experiencing
the same feelings as before...
(Cheers) Sante.
Mmm,
becoming more of a fine man,
aren't you, young master?
Your brother is delighted.
I said it before.
I hate being called that.
It's been a while,
can't you be a bit happier?
What's gotten into you all of a sudden?
Did something happen
at Hoshizawa's house?
Toyoko-san wants you to come back home.
After sending me away as an adoptee,
why now?
Reina-san is apparently
getting married soon.
Reina?
That's good.
It seems her partner is from overseas.
Reina-san also strongly wishes
to live in that country.
I see.
So the son-in-law
can't take over the family?
Yes.
They want you to come back home
and take over the family business.
For all the trouble you've caused,
isn't it about time
you repaid the family?
Big brother.
Geez, you're too serious.
If it's anything other than
returning to the family,
let me know how I can help.
Oh right.
The other day,
I met someone nostalgic.
(Business Now Miyata Akihiro)
He looked delicious growing up,
didn't he?
Should I try tasting him?
Kyosuke-san,
Hmm?
Do you really want to anger me?
How scary,
young master.
I was waiting for you.
Is something wrong?
It's nothing.
What's this? A5 rank beef.
It's Koshu beef.
Sent from my house.
Your family sure is rich.
But this doesn't suit curry.
Huh?
I wanted to eat your curry though.
It'd be a waste.
Let's make teppanyaki.
Teppanyaki...
Look, there's an
expensive-looking wine here...
too...
(Sugimoto Winery) too...
Oh, that's a gift.
I also met Sugimoto-san
during an interview.
Mmm.
I don't need excuses.
I can guess what kind of
relationship you have.
It's not like that.
He's from a branch family
of the Hoshizawa clan
and was like a mentor to me,
like an older brother.
What did he teach you?
It's not like that.
He was someone who understands me
and helped me a lot in the past.
It's a story from a distant past.
The past, huh.
I don't care.
Really?
Really.
What is it?
Miyata-kun, you're so cute.
It's just onion irritation.
Hmm.
Cute.
Hearing 'cute' to a 30-year-old man...
even if it's flattery, it's still nice.
So, I was turned down.
I understand.
I'll think of another plan.
Yes.
I just want what's truly best
for Takashi...
(Sugimoto Kyosuke Regarding the next meeting)
Sugimoto Kyosuke Regarding the next meeting.
(Type C room Type D room)
Oh, the bathroom here
looks spacious and nice.
If you have no business here,
please leave.
I'll leave soon.
Once I get a favorable response from you.
Hello. Miyata from
Tokyo Business Company.
Miyata-san, I've been expecting you.
Why...
Sugimoto-san designated
this place for the meeting.
Thank you for accommodating
the sudden change.
Likewise.
In fact, thank you for
choosing such a wonderful place.
I'm glad you like it.
Please, have a seat here.
(Where dreams and wine are cultivated) This is the proof.
(Where dreams and wine are cultivated)
Hmm, nice colors.
I'm glad I chose this suit.
Right, Iwanaga-san?
It suits you.
I think I'll go with navy blue
for the next interview.
I don't want my muscles to look obvious.
That's right.
Actually, navy blue can be
tricky to print.
You mean...
This kind of color?
Stop it.
Are you planning to involve
Miyata-kun who's unrelated?
It's relevant.
Miyata-san,
would you mind if Takashi-san
returns to his family home?
Huh?
Oh?
Oh? You didn't know?
His mother strongly wishes
for Takashi-san to
inherit the family household.
After that incident, she's the one who
sent Takashi away for adoption.
She's the one who's against
his relationship with you.
Enough.
I never agreed to it.
Miyata-kun, you're an outsider,
you don't need to hear this.
I'm not an outsider.
I'm your lover.
Senpai is my lover.
I won't break up with him,
whether it's family or not,
I won't allow anyone
to manipulate his life.
Wow.
How cool.
Well,
I have to go back there today,
so I'll leave now.
I'll report today's events
to your mother.
Senpai,
if we ever break up in the future,
feel free to do as you please,
even if I'll be an outsider then.
Being an outsider isn't what you think.
Is that so?
Miyata-kun.
Yes?
I love you.
Even if you said you didn't care,
but were you actually feeling jealous?
Do you want to find out?
In bed.
He says he loves me,
he talks about living together,
but he never tells me
the important things.
Am I just an outsider?
Mmm!
I could eat your
homemade curry every day, Miyata-kun.
Your way of seducing someone
is so old-fashioned.
Is it?
Well, Miyata-kun,
you're not in high school anymore.
You're probably embarrassed
about doing stuff like this, right?
No,
it's cute.
Mmm...
Is the sake from
your family's house good?
Well...
I wouldn't really recommend it.
Why not?
Oh!
Well, it doesn't concern me, I guess.
Let's drop it.
Right now, I want to savor
Miyata-kun's love curry.
Don't avoid the question.
Maybe it's you who's avoiding.
Huh?
I've been thinking about you all along.
- If... - What?
I just want you to do nothing
for now, okay?
Mmm.
It's on your mouth. How cute.
Don't touch me.
Please stop.
It's still stuck.
Reina.
It's been a while, big brother.
I said I'd refrain from coming today,
but Sugimoto-san...
It's fine.
But my lover is here.
Nice to meet you, I'm Miyata.
Reina.
Congratulations on your marriage.
I'm sorry
for all this.
You don't have to return
to the family home.
I could never forgive Mom.
Once I decided to leave home,
she ordered you to return.
She's so self-centered.
Reina,
just focus on being happy
with the person you love.
I'll take care of everything else.
Shall I make some warm tea?
I'll help.
Oh, me too...
Miyata-san.
Yes?
Please take care
of my brother.
Um...
I was actually the cause of
what happened back then.
You're the one who was
going to run away with him?
I'm sorry.
Because of me
things became strained between
your mother and him,
and he ended up separated from you.
Do you love my brother?
Here you go.
We're still exploring whether
we can continue to love each other.
But...
Don't worry.
Because I love Miyata-kun.
I'm sorry.
I...
It's okay.
Why are you making that face?
What face?
Because...
Shouldn't we consider breaking up?
Maybe so.
Huh?
Let's take some time apart.
I've always loved Senpai.
Always.
(Final episode)
Miyata-san and Sensei have broken up.
It's better not to follow Takashi.
Why not?
You're an outsider.
I can't inherit the family household,
I have a lover.
Senpai is always like this.
You like to act cool and
bear everything by yourself.
