Marry Me | Highlight EP3
A divorce may be seen as neglecting
your duties, and it may affect your career. So I’d like you to deal with Yoshiura-san. Grandpa, Grandma, I think I… might become all alone again. It doesn’t taste good. I wonder why. Good morning, Akiyasu! I’m sorry about yesterday.
I drank too much. What was all that about? You
showing up without warning. I was drinking with Waka and we got
all excited about going to your house. I’ll make tea. Did I bring her too? I don’t
really remember, sorry. Himari isn’t good with these
things. Moreover, she is shy. Was she upset? Not necessarily, but still… You’re late. Here. This is legislation that’s about
to be passed; read through it. Also, please draft up
answers for the questionnaire. – Hey, Waka.
– I told you to call me Section Chief. What happened yesterday wasn’t
okay. You should have stopped Yamada. Hey. Do you like Himari-san? What? You know very well that this
marriage is because of the law– Shut up. Just answer me. Do you like her? Do you love her? Yes, yes. I like her a lot. I see. Well, then I’m heading out. Move. Hello. As for the main purpose of my visit… I’d like you to break up with Akiyasu. Wow! Looks delicious. Himari-san
must be good at cooking. She said she learned from her grandmother. She uses proper dashi (kelp,
shitake) broth. She does it right. Thank you for the food. You’re much more of a decent person
than what I had assumed until yesterday. I think you can still return to society
even without marrying due to this law. Excuse me… Does this have anything to do with the fact that Akiyasu and you
were previously in a relationship? Yes, that’s right. Does Waka still like you? What? Stop joking. It’s been
two years since we broke up. But she’s still single, and it
doesn’t seem she is dating anyone. Listen, I was the one who was dumped. Why would she be the one with
lingering feelings? That’d be weird. You sure don’t know how
to read between the lines. I guess you don’t
understand a woman’s heart. Excuse me? I think living with Himari-san will
allow you to learn these things, though. Falling in love with someone like her
will be a great life experience for you. Wait a second; what do you
mean falling in love with her? – We were basically forced to–
– No! You already like her. What? During work you’re
always glued to your phone. Whenever you speak,
all you say is “Himari-san, Himari-san.” What
are you? A teenager? Akiyasu can’t make you happy. I dated him for four years
and I know all of his flaws. Well, he is fun to be around, though. Don’t tell me you already like– No. I’m just not too experienced with dating– It came to an end with just one sentence, like this. – Hey.
– What? There’s no meaning even
if we kept dating, is there? What? Why don’t we break up? Okay. He readily agreed and didn’t even ask for my reason. I had more or less known that
he didn’t actually like me at all. Also, I think there’s a problem with
how this law is being implemented. As Test Candidates, if your
relationship doesn’t work out, it may lead to an extended test
period and complete re-evaluation. In that case, people like you who
were forced by the government to marry– It doesn’t matter what happens to me. What? In other words, you were hurt by Akiyasu, right? What? You can’t forgive him! What? I guess she’s not home. What happened? Take a seat over there, please. Okay. Excuse me– Did something happen? This. Waka Yoshiura-san gave this to me. What is she trying to do? I don’t really know what
happened between you two. I haven’t dated anyone before. Things are over between me
and her, and it’s all in the past– But Yoshiura-san seemed to still be hurt. What? A four-year relationship is long. It really is. In regard to this, I’ll take action
depending on what you choose to do. “Action”? A divorce may be seen as neglecting
your duties, and it may affect your career. So I’d like you to deal with Yoshiura-san. Grandpa, Grandma, I think I… might become all alone again. It doesn’t taste good. I wonder why. Hey, I… Let’s talk when we get home. I don’t want to hide anything from her. Fine. I’m telling you I’m not fully
supportive of this law either. I know. I know you have a strong
sense of duty and responsibility. But marriage isn’t just about those things. To properly like someone and to want to cherish a person, you’re unable to do those things. Himari-san. If you want a divorce,
earlier is better than later. Aren’t you hiding your
discontent toward him? – You must be.
– Stop with the leading questions. Akiyasu-san has many other things he should be doing rather than living with me. I don’t think I’m a good match for Akiyasu-san. She’s gone back to her old self, the same look in her eyes. At heart, she’s a cheerful person, as
long as she has someone beside her. Well, you’re with her now so that’s good. I’m… not going to divorce. What? It’s not that I think that I’m good enough for Himari-san. Marriage might have been part of my job, but if she can be happy
with someone beside her, then I want to be that person. I see. I’ll leave for today. I may be against this system, but your happiness is my
highest priority right now. I’ll continue observing you two. Bye now. Himari-san, do you want to watch the moon together? The moon surely looks beautiful. Aren’t you cold? No. How about you, Akiyasu-san?
You just got out of the bath. I’m okay. Akiyasu-san, I am very happy right now. What? Although we might not be
able to act like normal lovers do, but we can hold hands like this. This way is how we
live as a married couple. We bought a lot of stuff. I’ll make sure to cook delicious food. Okay. A violin? Sho? Long time no see. What’s going on? – Let me stay over tonight.
– What? Akiyasu-san, is this an
acquaintance of yours? Who is this? This is… my little brother, Sho. Your younger brother? This is… my wife. What? Himari-san. Yes? I’m sorry, but Sho said he
is going to stay overnight. Of course, it’s okay. I’ll cook for him as well. Thank you very much. By the way, I think I will stop by my parent’s
house tomorrow after work. It’s about time I tell
them about the marriage. You’re right. So… for now I think I’ll go by myself. It’s been a long time
since I’ve seen them too. I understand. Well then. – Hello?
– We have some trouble. Right now your parents… are here. What? Why? It seems Sho-kun hasn’t been going
to school, and he ran away from home. “Ran from home”? And now he locked himself inside the room. Sho? Shin! What’s all this about? You
didn’t even tell us you got married! I’ll tell you all about it later. Please open up. Himari-san, sorry for all the trouble. Hey, Sho! Open up! What happened! Haven’t you been going to school? It has nothing to do with you, Shin. Of course, it does. You weren’t the type of person
to interfere in such things. What happened to you? Let go of me. I’m closing the door. – Wait a minute.
– Take your hands off! – Open up!
– Get out of the way! Stop fighting! Hey! What? That’s not possible.
