00:00My name is Ken, I'm a 28 year old salesman.
00:04My job requires me to be transferred every few years.
00:07This is my second year at this branch.
00:10In the spring of my second year at the branch.
00:13I'm Misaki Shiratori, it's nice to meet you.
00:17Misaki, who is highly regarded for her abilities, has been transferred to a new position in
00:22the company.
00:23She's not my direct supervisor, she seems to have been assigned to this branch to make
00:28it more profitable.
00:30One day, I was cleaning up in the work kitchen.
00:33Hey, why is Ken always the only one cleaning up?
00:38Because I'm the youngest, I have the least seniority.
00:42I'll help you, what do you want me to do?
00:45Huh?
00:46Are you sure?
00:48The branch was full of mid-level and veteran employees and we rarely had any newcomers,
00:53so I was always stuck doing the dirty work.
00:56The next day, Misaki helped me again.
00:59We don't have to make tea nowadays, our head office has vending machines and drink
01:03dispensers.
01:04Thank you for your help.
01:06We need to make our workplace more efficient, I'm going to talk to my supervisors.
01:11Thanks, I appreciate it.
01:14Misaki, who had been with the company for 12 years, was not only good at her job, but
01:20also helped me as if she was a reliable older sister.
01:24I respected her.
01:26Summer was approaching and it was time to apply for summer vacation.
01:30At work, we got 5 days of vacation during the summer.
01:34You're applying for a vacation?
01:36Yes, have you applied for yours yet?
01:39Yes.
01:40Huh?
01:41You don't take it all at once?
01:43I see you're taking just one day off at the beginning of August.
01:47Are you going out on a date?
01:50Kind of.
01:52Oh, I'm sorry for prying into your business.
01:55Ken, you're going on a date with your girlfriend during your summer vacation, right?
02:01Well, that's one thing I'm doing, but I also have plans with a friend from college.
02:06That sounds exciting.
02:09I had a girlfriend for 7 years, her name was Anna.
02:12We met and started dating at college, which happened to be in Anna's hometown.
02:17When she graduated, she stayed there and started work, so we had been long-distance
02:22dating.
02:23I'd like to get married soon, but there are some circumstances I can't come to terms
02:28with.
02:29Hey, Ken, where do you hang out on your days off?
02:34There's not much entertainment here, so usually I go to karate, the arcade, or the movies.
02:40So it is a date after all.
02:42I'm so jealous of your boyfriend, dating a beautiful woman like you.
02:47Uh...
02:49Huh?
02:50Misaki usually responded quite well to jokes, but today she didn't react.
02:56In November, I noticed that something was wrong with Misaki.
03:00She's lost a lot of weight recently.
03:02I wonder what's wrong with her.
03:05One day...
03:06Misaki, I've been getting a lot of complaints about you lately.
03:10You've been making a lot of mistakes, and it's not like you.
03:14I'm sorry.
03:15I'll be more careful from now on.
03:17I knew something was wrong.
03:20Whatever problem Misaki was having, it was starting to show in her work.
03:25That day at lunchtime, I called out to Misaki in the cafeteria.
03:29Thanks to you, Misaki, my cleaning duties at work have been greatly reduced.
03:34I'm very grateful to you for installing the vending machine.
03:38You can concentrate on your work from now on.
03:41As a thank you, I'd like to buy you a drink.
03:43Will you go out for one with me?
03:46What?
03:47With me?
03:48You have a girlfriend, right?
03:50I feel bad for her.
03:53My girlfriend is great.
03:54She won't mind us going.
03:56Besides, you're my boss.
03:58You must have a good relationship.
04:00Well, instead of going out for drinks, why don't you take me to the movies?
04:06There's a movie coming out on Friday that I want to watch.
04:09It was an unexpected turn of events, but I decided to go along with it if it would
04:14bring Misaki's spirits back up.
04:18That Friday, we had a quick dinner after work and went to watch a movie together.
04:23I'm sorry.
04:24That was a terrible movie to invite you to watch with me.
04:28You might not have understood it if you didn't read the book.
04:31Well, sure.
04:32Don't worry about it.
04:34I'd never seen Misaki in a panic before.
04:37On the way back to the train station, Misaki started telling me about herself.
04:42I went on a blind date with someone five years younger than me during my summer vacation,
04:46but he turned me down, and I've been sad ever since.
04:52I'm the eldest daughter in my family, and I have no brothers, so I have to convince
04:58a man to take my surname, to carry on the family name.
05:03I'm already 34.
05:05You need someone to take your surname.
05:08That sounds difficult right now.
05:11He told me I can't go out with an older woman.
05:14You're too old, like my aunt.
05:17Huh?
05:18You shouldn't have been rejected by that guy.
05:21I got really angry when I found out why she was losing weight.
05:26I'm five years older than you.
05:28I'm like your aunt, too.
05:30No, you're still a young woman.
05:33Let's forget about that bottom feeder.
05:36Thank you.
05:37I have to take care of all my family matters, so I might not be chosen for the rest of my
05:42life.
05:45It's difficult for you, too, Misaki.
05:48Me too?
05:49Oh, it's nothing.
05:50Oh, I'm so embarrassed, complaining to my subordinate work colleague.
05:56Sorry.
05:57Just pretend you didn't hear anything.
05:59Yes, I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
06:02I'd never seen this vulnerable side of Misaki.
06:05December rolled around and work became very busy.
06:08Unusually, I got a phone call from Anna, my girlfriend.
06:12What's wrong?
06:13I'm surprised you called.
06:14Hey, about the skiing trip for this year's college class gathering, I was wondering if
06:21you could come alone.
06:23I want you to meet my mother.
06:25Okay, I'll come alone.
06:28It had become a tradition for us to ski in Anna's hometown with our university friends
06:33and then spend New Year's Eve at her parents' house.
06:37I was thinking that if I was going to get married, it was going to be Anna.
06:41But both Anna and I didn't have any siblings and we both had our own non-negotiable circumstances.
06:48Anna is an only child with a mother and a grandfather.
06:52I'm also an only child.
06:54We both have the responsibility to carry on our family names.
06:58At the end of the year, I made my way to Anna's parents' house without coming to
07:02a real conclusion about our future.
07:05Is there any way our two families can work things out?
07:08When I arrived at Anna's parents' house, her mother was waiting for me.
07:13My daughter is in your care.
07:15I apologize for the abruptness, but my daughter is of legal age.
07:20If you continue to date her, would you please join our side of the family and take our name?
07:26If it's too difficult for you, could you please give up on marrying my daughter?
07:32Can you give me some time?
07:33Let me think about it.
07:35Could you please come to a conclusion while you're here?
07:38My daughter has been approached about an arranged marriage.
07:41What?
07:42In a few days?
07:44I was forced to make a decision.
07:46Anna and I talked for a long time.
07:48I'm sorry about my mother.
07:50I want to marry you, Ken, but I think we should break up.
07:55I want to marry you too, Anna, but I'm sorry, I can't.
08:00We decided that we should break up.
08:02The morning of New Year's Day.
08:03What am I doing?
08:05It's New Year's Day.
08:06What have I been doing for the last seven years?
08:10I tried hard to hold back the bad feeling that came over me.
08:14I was supposed to go back to my parents' house, but I didn't really feel like it.
08:18I went back to my apartment and drank like crazy for three days and three nights, then
08:23finally went to sleep.
08:26On the morning of January 4th, I noticed a message on my phone from Misaki.
08:30Happy New Year!
08:32Take it easy this year.
08:34If you're up for it, let's go to the shrine on the 4th to pray for the New Year.
08:38Oh no, it's today!
08:40I hurriedly sent her a message back.
08:43I drank too much and overslept.
08:45I'm sorry it took me so long to reply.
08:48What time should we meet to go to the shrine?
08:51Around 2 p.m.?
08:53Sounds good.
08:54I wasn't too keen on the idea, but it was hard to be alone, so I decided to go.
09:00After paying our first visit of the year to the shrine, we went to a cafe to have a cup
09:04of coffee together.
09:06I told her about what had happened to me in the last week.
09:10It wasn't the best time to contact you for a New Year's visit to the shrine.
09:15I'm sorry.
09:16I understand how you feel, Ken.
09:20And I also understand what she's going through.
09:22Please don't cry too, Misaki.
09:26I felt a little better now that I got my feelings out, but I regretted that I had complained
09:31to my boss about my problems.
09:34I started off the year by immersing myself in my work, to forget everything that had
09:39happened.
09:40On weekdays, I'd get home tired from work and drink myself to sleep.
09:44On weekends, I wouldn't wake up until the early afternoon.
09:47On my day off, I received a message from Misaki.
09:50Are you sleeping well?
09:52I've had trouble sleeping before, too.
09:56I'm sorry for worrying you.
09:58I've been managing to get some sleep.
10:00I hadn't eaten anything decent in a while, so I asked Misaki out for dinner.
10:05I met up with Misaki at a restaurant and we had dinner.
10:08While we ate, we spoke about our previous relationships.
10:13I was raised in the countryside with old-fashioned values.
10:17Ever since I was a child, I was told that I was the heir to the family.
10:21Even if I fell in love with someone, I would always think about the future and wouldn't
10:26end up telling them how I felt.
10:28There was one time when I started a new job and had a crush on someone.
10:33We gave up on marriage because of our families.
10:36I've never been conscious of such things.
10:39Actually, the first time I was made aware of that was by the girlfriend that I broke
10:43up with.
10:44It's sad that I can't get married to her even though I love her.
10:48We were both feeling a bit sentimental.
10:51On the way home...
10:52The person I just told you about sent me a New Year's card after that.
10:58He's married now and has a child.
11:01It's nice when the person you love is happy.
11:04I'm impressed, but you have the right to be happy, too.
11:09Oh, what does this kiss mean?
11:19I was so excited, I got carried away and kissed you.
11:24Do I like Misaki?
11:26We walked to the train station in silence.
11:29When we parted ways...
11:30Let's go on like nothing ever happened tomorrow.
11:34See you.
11:35Oh, yes, thank goodness.
11:39I was worried inside, but I was happy that Misaki had responded maturely.
11:43When I got home, I apologized to her again by text message.
11:47Ever since that day, I wanted to get to know Misaki better.
11:51I thought about it for a few days, and then one day, I boldly approached her as she was
11:56leaving the office.
11:57We need to talk.
11:58Will you go out with me to see if we could be good marriage partners?
12:02I know it's far from the kind of marriage you want, but I want to make you happy.
12:09Wait, I'm happy, but I'm flattered, but I wonder if you could wait a bit.
12:15I figured out later that I found it so easy to talk to her because I thought she was out
12:20of my league.
12:22One week later...
12:23My family told me that I don't need to carry on the family name anymore.
12:27They gave up worrying that I would be alone for the rest of my life.
12:31It makes me very happy to be with you, Ken.
12:33Please go out with me.
12:36I'm glad.
12:38Yes!
12:39I realized that everything in life is about timing.
12:42If Misaki and I had met earlier, we wouldn't be where we are now.
12:47Things progressed speedily from there.
12:49We kept our relationship secret at work and got married in the spring, one year after
12:54I confessed my love to her.
12:56Anna sent me a text saying that she was going to get married.
12:59It's nice when the people you love become happy.
13:03I'm happy for you!
13:05I've grown to like this part of Misaki.
13:08I want to make preparations now so that we can live together with our parents one day
13:12when they need to be taken care of.
13:35I love you!
13:36I love you!
13:37I love you!
13:38I love you!
13:39I love you!
13:40I love you!
