I love you, Ken.
Calm down. It was just a slip of the tongue.
See you.
That handkerchief, a person called Shijaku handed it to me.
You know her, don't you?
I'm getting married.
To him.
Don't touch me.
Well...
I said, "Don't touch me."
And
I won't register our marriage.
Have you ever been told, "Don't touch me"
by a woman of marriageable age?
No.
Then
have you ever been told,
"I'll celebrate our wedding but won't register the marriage"?
Miss told you so, right?
-By a woman of marriageable age. -That's Miss, right?
You're such an unrefined man.
Read the situation and don't rub salt into the wound.
Isn't it a thing to face reality, though?
I didn't want to reveal the real name, but yes, you guessed it right.
Talk about beating around the bush.
As you can see, I am a proud man.
I can't just tell this kind of humiliating story to anybody.
From what I can see,
you're also the type who places honor above everything else.
Therefore I thought you could understand my feelings.
Don't lump me together with you!
Okay, then. I'll put it another way.
It'd be appreciated if you could give me some advice
as a man who was engaged to the same woman.
It's about a woman you were going to get married to.
You must have an opinion...
Ask Miss directly yourself.
-I can't, that's why I am asking you. -Your pride is useless!
What the heck?
Nobody understands what she feels, except herself.
Isn't that right?
I'm leaving.
I have to go back to work.
FUKUYADOU HONPO
Hey, Arare.
Yes?
How's Miss doing?
What do you mean?
Well, it's been a month since she got married.
Moved to another house, et cetera.
I guess she's doing okay.
I see.
Is there a problem?
If you have something to say, just spit it out!
-Seriously, how ugly are you? -What?
You have wrinkles between your eyebrows.
It hurts!
-How stubborn these wrinkles are! -It hurts! Stop!
I'll call it a day. See you.
What was that?
-Ken! -What?
Can you make some extra unbaked sweets tomorrow?
I don't mind.
I'm gonna visit my sister tomorrow and take them to her.
You are?
See you.
-Arare. -What?
-You have wrinkles again. -I don't!
Don't work too hard.
I love you, Ken.
He acted as if nothing happened between us.
It's not nice, coming here without prior notice.
Please don't say that.
Here you are.
Some gifts for you.
Are they Japanese sweets from Fukuyadou?
What do you mean?
I just said what I saw.
In any case, have some tea before you go.
Because Mother will be here soon.
Mother?
Hinoyama's mother?
Yes, so you have to cut today...
Well, as it's a good chance, may I introduce myself to her?
Arare.
Of course, I don't mind.
Then I will.
I'm going to make some tea.
-I'll help you. -Okay.
Your mother didn't come to the wedding, did she?
What kind of person is she?
She's eccentric. Maybe a bit like you.
Did he tell you to come here?
"He"?
One of your workers.
Hina's ex-fiance.
He seemed uninterested, but he is, huh?
I don't know what you're talking about.
So you haven't heard from him?
Heard what?
Excuse me. Please forget about it.
I can't just forget about it. What did you talk about with Ken?
I just asked for his advice.
On what?
It's not nice to tell you this
but I don't understand Hina well.
Kaoru.
Kaoru!
Here you are.
It's been a long time.
Have you been doing well?
Who are you?
That's my question.
FUKUYADOU HONPO: KYOTO LOVE STORY
Mother, she is...
More importantly, Kaoru, is it true that you got married?
I am certain I sent you an invitation.
EPISODE 8 A HEART DRENCHED IN THE RAIN
It's because I've been in New York for a long time.
Hey, you.
Yes.
Make some tea, don't just sit there in a daze.
Excuse me?
What is this?
Since when can a maid in this house not do her work properly?
-What? -Dull...
I see there is one, a proper maid.
Then, who are you?
-She is... -I'm your son's sister-in-law.
What does that mean?
I should have introduced her to you earlier.
She's my wife, Hina.
-And this is... -Why did you get married to Kaoru?
You would only be unhappy if you got married to him.
You two will never work out.
I thought, "What a thing to say?
"What does she intend by saying all of that?"
But I couldn't say anything.
Because I agreed with her.
Because she bluntly said what I've been thinking about my sister.
Am I horrible?
Should I have opposed her?
I should have supported my sister.
You didn't do anything wrong.
The one who's to blame for this is...
What?
You're not to be blamed for this, Arare.
You can't lie to anybody in the first place, right?
You did the right thing by keeping silent.
I'm leaving.
Have you ever been told,
"I'll celebrate our wedding but won't register the marriage"?
There you were! Can you go shopping for me?
Yes.
Miss.
-You went shopping? -Yeah.
-It must be heavy. -It is.
Thank you.
I can take it from here.
I'll carry it to the kitchen door since we're nearly there.
Thank you.
I'm coming in.
Ah! You came! I've been waiting for you.
Sorry, I'm late.
You.
What?
Satoko.
Sorry. I came by because I was in the neighborhood.
Sorry, I'm afraid it's not a good time now.
Satoko.
What's up?
I'm here to pick up something I left behind.
I think my hair stick is somewhere in your house.
Okay. Wait here.
If you'll excuse me.
They didn't turn on when I switched the light on.
You fixed it. Good job!
Okay, then. I'll take my leave.
Thank you.
You.
He's an electrician.
What?
If you'll excuse me.
Welcome home.
Did you ask him to come here?
I met him on the way back from shopping and he helped me carry the bags.
The bags?
I asked her to go shopping.
Where's my tea?
Coming up.
Brother.
You.
You're still involved with the Hinoyama family?
How can you come in this house without hesitation?
Mother.
Get out of here.
This is not a place where somebody like you can enter.
Get out of here, now!
Are you okay?
Kaoru, you're still involved with this girl?
Was it hot?
Stop this shit!
What did you do to her!
You care about that girl more than you do about me?
You make light of me for the sake of someone like her?
You are exactly the same as your father, then!
Do you know?
She's the daughter of the woman who snatched your father from you and me!
Nobody can imagine how much I've suffered because of that woman!
Please don't say bad things about my mother.
It was my mother
who suffered because of you!
If only you didn't exist!
Enough, Satoko.
I understand.
I know.
I'm leaving.
Mother!
I'm sorry, Mother.
That is why I said what I said.
Kaoru is like that.
You'll be the one to suffer as long as you're with him.
You'll be the next me.
You can go now.
Have a safe drive home.
Miss.
Where's Ken?
He's gone to deliver some sweets to Kimura.
He must be goofing around. I'll tell him off big time!
I'm back.
You took too long! Where have you been wasting your time?
I'm home.
Welcome home.
I ran into her while I was out.
I'm home.
-Welcome home. -Welcome home.
I ran into him while I was out.
You also came here, Sister. Is there something going on?
I got worried about you
because you went out without saying anything.
Let's go home, Hina.
I'll be here a little longer.
I can return home by myself.
Sister, shall we have dinner together since it's such a rare opportunity?
You, too, Hinoyama.
-Right? -Yeah.
I haven't eaten Sister's cooking in a long while.
I'll help her cook.
Does that suit you, Hinoyama?
No, I'm going home.
I'll come around again after meal time.
If you'll excuse me.
I'm coming home.
Hinoyama was a bit scary, wasn't he?
I wonder if I should have called him "Brother."
I wouldn't be caught dead calling him "Brother."
You're scary!
It's pouring.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry about today.
That you had to witness that disgraceful situation.
I won't let them behave like that ever again.
"Them," who?
What?
You said you won't let them. Who are they?
Your mother? Shijaku?
This...
I found it in the house.
It belongs to Shijaku, doesn't it?
I asked you about Shijaku before our marriage.
But you didn't answer me.
A person called Shijaku gave it to me.
You know her, don't you?
Anyway, please come in.
You will answer me today, won't you?
Because I witnessed that scene.
Why are you quiet?
Because you're thinking of how to make an excuse?
Because you're thinking I'll give up if you keep silent?
How cruel of you.
Rain.
It started raining harder.
I'm going to buy an umbrella.
Wait here.
What's the matter?
Hasn't Hina come back here?
No.
Did something happen between you two?
She disappeared while I went to buy an umbrella.
Maybe she's in the house. I'll go check.
Have you seen my sister?
She went home with Hinoyama, didn't she?
Yeah, she did, but he said she disappeared while he was away doing something else.
Ken!
-I'm going out a little. -"A little"?
Ken!
FUKUYADOU
She wasn't there.
I'm going to look for her again.
Please let me know if she comes here.
Hinoyama!
Why did you marry my sister?
Did you marry her because you love her?
Then, why does my sister pull that long face?
Hana...
Looks sad, like she is all alone in this world.
You said you didn't know what my sister's been thinking about, didn't you?
That's your fault!
She hides her feelings because you won't confront her properly.
It's your fault!
Miss!
What are you doing?
Ken.
Everybody's worrying about you. Let's go home.
You're completely drenched. You'll catch a cold.
Let's go home, Miss.
Let's go home, change clothes and have a good rest.
You must be exhausted after all that's happened today.
So, why not go home and have a good rest?
"Home"? Which one is it?
I can neither go back to Fukuyadou, nor to the Hinoyama's.
You witnessed that, too, didn't you?
I can't go back there.
Enough, Satoko.
He only had eyes
for Shijaku.
There's no place for me
anywhere in that house.
In that case, you can come back to Fukuyadou.
I'm a person who moved out of that house.
I'm married already, so I can't...
Your marriage hasn't been registered, has it?
Hinoyama told me so.
He also told me that he doesn't know what you're thinking.
How could something like this happen?
-Why did you... -I don't know.
I don't know, either.
Hinoyama's the one who can't tell what's going on in his head.
It's not my fault!
Don't blame me.
If I were to be blamed even by you, Ken, I...
I'm not blaming you.
What I'm saying is that you should ask if you need help.
Don't say you don't have a place where you belong.
You're kind, Ken.
I'm going home.
I'm going home to rest properly.
Take this with you, then.
No need. I'm already soaked.
Take it.
But you'll get wet.
Just between you and me, I can dodge the rain while running.
-You'll be all right, then. -Yeah.
There you go. Go home quickly.
Thanks.
Where have you been?
Were you looking for my sister?
You get really serious when it comes to her.
You don't care if you get drenched or anything.
Do you love my sister?
You said you have no interest in her, but isn't that what typically happens?
Now that she belongs to another man, you want her, don't you?
How vulgar!
I didn't know you were that kind of woman.
That's right.
I was this kind of woman.
I've only just realized it.
I want you to have eyes only for me.
I don't want you to think of other people.
I'm getting fed up with myself.
I'm such a disgraceful woman.
The thing I told you earlier was true.
My tongue slipped because I meant it.
I love you, Ken.
I can't reciprocate.
Sorry.
NEXT EPISODE
I should have forced her to get married to Ken.
How do you see Shijaku?
I loved her.
This might not have happened if I had married you, Ken.
Arare!
It hurts!
THIS DRAMA IS A FICTION.
ANY RESEMBLANCE TO ACTUAL PEOPLE IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL. THANK YOU!
