02x11 - The Proposal

[bunniefuu]

Hello, Nishino speaking.

This is Touou University Hospital.

Your family member, Tsuyoshi Nishino,
has been brought to the hospital by ambulance.

What?

We are currently
examining and treating him.

To explain the situation
and the next steps,

we need a family member
to come to the hospital.

[Emergency Room Entrance]

Mr. Nishino.

Can you hear me?

You're in the hospital. You're safe now.

Kashiwagi, do you know him?

Yes.

Doctor, please let me assist
with the treatment.

[Emergency Room Entrance]

Um, I'm Mizuho Nishino.

I just received a call
saying my father was brought here.

[Emergency Registration]
Please wait a moment.

Mizuho.

Shin.

It's good to see you before the surgery.

Shin, how is my dad doing?

He's stabilized now.

He'll improve after the surgery.

Hmm…

It'll be okay. Don't worry.

I've been assigned to the medical team.

I'll be present during the surgery.

You'll be there?

What do you think I became a doctor for?

Shin.

Yeah?

Please save my dad.

Hmm.

I've been working hard ever since then.

I'm different now.

Now, I can definitely save him.

I won't let Mizuho go through that again.

Mom… please save Dad.

[Airu Calling]

Airu, why are you calling me?

Shugo told me. Is your dad okay?

He's in surgery right now.

I'm waiting for it to finish.

Mizuho, are you okay?

Sorry I can't be there with you.

No.

Hearing your voice puts me at ease.

Thank you.

I wish I had delayed my return to London.

Mizuho,
you're not alone right now, are you?

Yeah.

I was so flustered

that I only contacted Shugo.

I see. What about Shin?

That's the hospital
where Shin works, right?

Yes, Shin's also in the operating room.

Is that so? That's reassuring.

Huh?

We know best how amazing Shin-chan is.

Right?

It'll be fine. Relax.

Yeah.

You're right. I'll trust him and wait.

Airu, thank you.

Yeah.

[Shugo]
I tried contacting Kizuki.

[Shugo]
But he might be practicing and didn't respond.

That swim fanatic…

Do your best, Shin-chan.

[Touou University Hospital]

I'll leave the rest to you.

Yes.

Kashiwagi, good work.

Thank you.

I'm glad I could help.

That's really great.

Shin.

I came to tell you the surgery is over.

It was successful.

That's wonderful!

He's still asleep
because of the anesthesia,

but he should wake up
around noon tomorrow.

Yeah.

He'll recover soon.

Yeah.

Thank you for saving my dad.

Mizuho, can we talk?

What?

There's something I want to tell you.

[Kizuki Calling]

Kizuki.

Sorry I couldn't come sooner.

I just heard Shugo's voicemail.

So you came all the way to the hospital?

Yeah.

Because I was worried.

You could have used an umbrella.

But still, thank you.

So how is your dad doing?

He's alright.

The heart surgery was successful.

Now we just need to monitor him
for a few days.

Nothing to worry about.

Really? That's great.

Always amazing, Shin.

Yeah.

If I tell my dad
that Shin performed his surgery,

he'll be so surprised.

Are you going home?

I can take you.

I want to stay with my dad
until he wakes up.

Then I'll stay too.

Only family members
are allowed in the ICU.

I'll take Mizuho home later.

You should head back.

Otherwise, you might catch a cold.

Miss Nishino.

Yes?

Excuse me for interrupting.

There's something we must explain
regarding your father's hospitalization procedures.

I'm sorry, I'll be right back.

Kizuki, thank you for coming.

My dad and I are fine now.

Yeah.

Let me know if there's anything I can do.

Mizuho, see you later.

Yeah.

Thank you very much too.

Thankfully, Mizuho didn't cry.

You just didn't notice.

Please look after Mizuho and her dad.

Yeah.

Kizuki, I won't ever make Mizuho cry.

I won't let her feel anxious either.

I'll make her happy in my own way.

[Ambulance Has Priority]

But…

My desire to make Mizuho happy
is just as strong.

[Emergency Room Entrance]

Well, I caused you all so much trouble.

Dad, that's not funny.

It really scared me.

Sorry.

We need to monitor you
for another two to three weeks.

If there are no issues,
you can be discharged.

Shin, thank you.

I never thought
I'd be saved by you one day.

Shin is incredibly reliable.

Right, I'll go call and let everyone know.

Yeah.

Mr. Nishino.

Hmm?

Do you remember what I said before?

What?

I really did become a doctor.

May I propose to Mizuho
when I become a doctor?

Shin?

So, please rest over the next few days.

I can't rest at all after you said that.

Um…

Hmm?

I have something to tell you.

Sorry, I'm late.

It's okay. Is your work finished?

Never mind that. Here you go.

Fruit sandwich.

Though it's not from Enokiya.

You haven't eaten anything
since yesterday, right?

You might get car sick later
if you don't eat.

Shin, thank you.

I'm digging in.

It's so tasty!

All my physical fatigue is gone.

That's quite an exaggeration.

Dr. Kashiwagi, are you going home?

Doctor, who is this person?

Your girlfriend?

No, Dr. Shin is my boyfriend.

Right, Doctor?

Yeah, yeah.

Even if you're feeling fine,
you shouldn't run around.

But…

Paper airplane?

It won't fly at all.

So we were running around to make it fly.

Sorry, Mizuho.

Can you give me a little more time?

Eh?

I'll teach them
how to fold paper airplanes.

Doctor, I want one too!
- Yay!

Let's do it in order.

Okay, okay.

It fell down again right away.

Shin's paper airplane flew the farthest.

What's the difference
between his and ours?

Here, obviously.

I just fold it differently.

I wish our airplanes
could all fly farther together.

Fine, I'll teach you the trick.

Mizuho, come here.

So lucky.

Shin, thank you.

Thanks.

Listen up.

Watch the center line.
Fold it symmetrically.

Then slightly raise the wings.

It's done.

Alright, let's throw them together.

Okay.

Ready.

That's amazing!
- Yes!

Back then, I felt like
I could fly anywhere with them.

But…

Awesome.

Shin.

He still does the same thing
after growing up.

You threw it poorly.

Even if they take off at the same time,
they go in different directions.

I've known long ago
which path I wanted to take.

I never doubted it.

But after growing up,
it's not that simple anymore.

Did something happen?

Right now, I need to decide my specialty.

The more I learn,
the more possibilities I see.

Whichever path you choose, you'll be fine.

I'll be cheering you on.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Shin-chan is amazing.

Shin seemed really confident yesterday.

Well, of course.

He's handsome, a doctor,
and he saved Mr. Nishino's life.

And you're just an unknown,
unemployed swimmer.

No ordinary girl would choose you.

Can't you say one good thing about me?

There's one.

That personality of always charging ahead.

That's not a compliment.

It is a compliment.

Anyway, just do your best.

Yeah.

I'll be in touch.

Kizuki, please notice soon.

Okay.

I lost to that personality of yours too.

Are these enough?

Mizuho, take this too.

I packed everything
he might need for the bathroom.

Thank you. You're so reliable.

Let's go then.

Okay.

A photo? He will be happy seeing this.

Yeah.

With my mom there, he won't be lonely.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Do you remember this card?

I don't.

You probably don't have it anymore.

Who knows?

This is an art card
made for the Ao High Festival.

You helped me out a lot back then.

Thanks to you,
I was able to make precious memories.

Thank you so much.

We all worked together, didn't we?

Okay.

Mizuho, it's time to go.

Okay.

It's beautiful.

The sea always calms my heart.

Yeah.

I've been thinking about you a lot lately.

I want to thank you properly.

Besides saving my dad,

you've always supported me.

Shin, I…

That card…

What?

It's still on the door of my locker
at the hospital.

That day we spent together
in the classroom.

Shin, promise you'll remember it forever.

On September 18, 5:20 p.m.,

you and I were in a classroom at Ao High.

Keep that art card as a memento of today.

Okay.

It's a precious memory for me too.

I didn't know you treasured it so much.

Back in school,
I helped you with homework, looked after you…

I always thought
I was the only one feeling that way,

but I'm glad I went to Ao High.

You're really amazing, Shin.

You really did become
student council president.

It was you who said
I'd be the student council president.

Was it when we were
all celebrating getting in?

The bow on the Ao High uniform is so cute.

Kizuki will join the swim team, right?

Yeah.

What about Shin?

Huh?

I…

Student council president?

Not bad, Mizuho.

I don't have time for that.

You're saying that again.
What a boring guy.

Let's make the most of our youth!

Mizuho, Kizuki, grab Shin's legs!

Got it!

Ready!

What are you guys doing?

He's soaked!

Nice! Now that's what youth is all about.

Shin, sorry about that.

I'm really happy

that we can still be together.

I'm sorry about back then.

You didn't get into
your first-choice school.

But I said I was happy.

It's fine. Because I did get in.

What?

I wanted to stay with everyone,
and with you.

So I pretended I failed.

No way. You gave up on Seikai High?

You've always guided
the course of my life.

Me?

When your mom passed away,

you looked so sad.

I never wanted to see you like that again.

That's why I wanted to become someone
who could save the lives of people around you.

I had no idea,

even though I was always with you.

For you, I can do anything.

Mizuho.

On that day we rode
the ferris wheel together,

I told you, didn't I?

I'm ready to be
in a relationship with you.

If you're ready too, tell me.

Yeah.

I was really surprised back then.

Even knowing Kizuki's feelings for you,

and you two started dating…

I decided to date Kizuki.

I couldn't give up on you.

I can't imagine a life without you.

I like you.

I live for you.

I want to keep living this way.

I want to be happy with you.

Will you marry me?
