01x07 - Episode 7

[bunniefuu]

Mr. Aizawa is such a wonderful person,

I unfortunately
couldn't get him to look my way.

What?

Did you think he was cheating on you?

I don't have
any feelings for him anymore,

so rest assured.

Good-bye.

Hold on.

This...

Oh, that's why you called me out here.

Did you take these?

No.

Then who did?

I wonder what Mr. Aizawa
would think if he saw these?

I won't show him, so don't worry.

But please be careful.

The most troublesome things

are a man's jealousy

and a woman's desire.

You Want Me to Steal You

What do I do?

I can't let the company
find out about this.

I'll handle it.

Focus on your work.

This isn't the time for that.

Our branch is in trouble this month.

Our manager is on edge too.

We need higher numbers.

I know, but...

Let me handle this.

Okay?

Sure.

Someone might come in.

Just for a bit.

Attention!

We got our preliminary numbers.

Our Shinjuku branch this month

is at the top!

Thank you so much, everyone!

And with that,

how about we all clock out on time

and go drinking?

Oh, it's not mandatory,

but I'll pay.

I'll ask for a receipt
and make the company pay for it.

Are you going?

Yes, it sounds nice.

Yeah.

Sasaki can't come.

Why?

The Shinjuku branch is having a party.

Their manager is paying.

What? I'm jealous.

Hey, sorry.

Yeah?

Do you know where it is?

I have to deliver something,
but I can't get a hold of him.

Oh, I'll ask.

Shunsaiko Town in Kabuki-cho.

Okay, thanks.

See you.

Bye.

Ms. Kana,

I'm leaving now.

I'll go too, then.

Let's leave separately.

People will see.

Right, that's true.

Have a good night.

Good-bye.

Tachibana.

I'm from the Ginza branch.

Are you Mr. Minaki?

Yes.

I've heard about you

from Ms. Oyama and Ms. Koyama.

I want a quick chat.

Then I'll join your table.

Please delete those photos.

Photos?

Oh.

If the company finds out,
Ms. Kana will lose her position.

I want to avoid that.

I didn't take those photos.

Then can you ask whoever took them?

I'll do anything.

You must really like her, Mr. Minaki.

Did your admiration
for your boss turn into love?

I think you're just like me.

Don't you need to get that?

But the moment you finally get
the thing you admired,

it becomes dull.

That's not true.

Okay, Mr. Minaki,

do you want
Mr. and Mrs. Aizawa to break up?

Isn't that what you want too?

I don't really care.

Wait, then why...

Are you okay with any guy?

I'm not really interested in men,

but human nature.

I'll take my leave now.

I think you'll be fine for now.

That's great.

Sorry for calling so much.

Oh, your favorite show is on TV right--

Please focus on your work.

Okay.

Who's up for round two?!

We'll get a party room then!

Tachibana.

Are you going home now?

I don't like karaoke.

Oh.

Break up with Ms. Kana.

Don't you know how much
Ms. Kana is struggling at work?

Don't feel guilty.

I went to a hotel with her.

Welcome back.

I'm home.

We've gone down 20% from last month.

Good morning.

Everyone,

make sure to bring in more assets.

Yes, ma'am.

Mrs. Aizawa.

Yes?

Get a proper plan in place

and bring up our numbers.

Yes, ma'am.

Inoue and Sakai have
almost 10 million in the bank.

Let's call them.

Yeah.

How about Samurai Trust?

It's still open for applications.

Ms. Kana?

Numbers sure are tiring, huh?

What're you saying?

We have to keep trying.

I know.

Hey, let's take a break
and have lunch outside.

I have a meeting downstairs.

Want me to come?

No, I'll be fine alone.

We'll move forward with this plan then.

Okay, I'll leave it to you once more.

Thank you.

Tachibana, do you have time?

Yes, of course.

I wanted to ask her something.

Okay, then I'll be here too.

Oh, it's fine.

Okay, then.

Good-bye.

All right.

Noa.

Are you still available tonight?

Yes.

It's here.

How nice.

Right?

How about 8 p.m. tonight?

Yes, see you then.

I'll be off first.

Good work today.

Tachibana.

Oh, good evening.

Good work today.

Oh, right.

To get here,

is it faster to take the train or the taxi?

Oh, there's a taxi.

I have plans, so I'll be going now.

Mr. Minaki!

Oh, hello.

Let's leave together.

Sure.

How about dinner?

Ah...

There's a new pasta shop at the station.

Yeah.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Minaki.

Yes?

Good work today, Ms. Koyama.

Oh, thank you.

The guest room interiors were redesigned
for each floor in this hotel,

and the penthouse has an amazing view.

Wow, how wonderful.

Here you go.

Mr. Aizawa?

Why are you here, Mr. Aizawa?

I can't allow this to happen.

Let's go.

What?

I thought you'd wait for me to get back.

I've worked too many hours this month.

Why are you so cold all of a sudden?

You said you'd protect me.

Was that a lie?

We can't do this here.

If people hear us...

You said you'd be my ally,
and my ally alone.

I told you, but...

But what?

Ms. Koyama!

I'm glad you're safe.

I know this is wrong,
since I'm a married man.

I honestly don't know if I like you or not.

But I couldn't help myself.

You want me now?

I thought it'd never happen to me.

That I'm not that kind of person.

I told you.

"Like" and "want"
are two different things.

People live in anticipation.

Once they experience pleasure,
they can't stop anymore.

They want more and more.

But it's all over now.

Why?

Because you fell for me.

I told you, but...

But what?

First harassment,
and now an affair at the office?

I can't protect you now.

Mrs. Aizawa.

What in the world
did you do at the workplace?

I apologize.

The stuff with Hirano just happened.

How could you?

And why'd you do this
at the client's hotel?

What?

Mr. Yokota owns this hotel.

He invited Tachibana
to show her the metrics,

but you marched in there.

Mr. Yokota is enraged.

I apologize.

If this video gets out,

this won't end as an office scandal.

What are you and your wife thinking?

Sorry.

Where did we go wrong?

Yeah.

How far would we
have to go back to get a redo?

From when we met?

"Mr. Aizawa,

are you a Gamba fan?

I am, too."

Do we start there?

I haven't gone to see soccer in a while.

How long has it been since we've gamed?

I forgot we used to have
the loser wash dishes.

When did we...

start to only talk about work?

We had so much
we could've talked about.

So dumb.

We're so dumb.

What an awful birthday, Nao.

You're right.

Want a beer?

Yeah.
