Spring Has Come (Haru ga Kita / 春が来た)

We're missing the bustier! Hurry!

I'm sorry.

Excuse me...

One more time.

Excuse me...

I'm from Suzuran Department Store.

We had the item in stock.

Go ahead, please.

Who?

You.

Yes.

Could you please bend forward?

Excuse me.

Check right here.

Please tuck it in.

Allow me.

It's not too tight?

I'm okay.

Good.

Look at the lens!

Give me a smile!

Good!

Okay!

Wow!

Beautiful!

Look here!

A little bit more!

Good!

Beautiful!

Okay!

Yes!

Look at the lens!

So beautiful!

Okay.

Please smile.

- Thank you for your hard work. - Good night, everyone.

It felt like a spring storm had just passed.

After the storm, only my old self was left.

I can't seem to go anywhere.

Neither forward, nor backward.

I spend everyday, just remembering to breathe.

Thank you for your help today.

No, thank you.

Let's go.

What?

The one who opened the heavy door for me...

was this man.

Today's photo shoot was his first time being in charge.

It was a big project for him.

But, are you sure it's okay that dinner is on you?

I want to show my gratitude for today.

No, I didn't do anything.

I was told to bring the bustier we had in stock all of a sudden.

Usually, I'm just a salesperson.

You're a professional dresser.

No, not really a professional.

- Excuse me. - Yes.

- We'll start with the pork belly. - Okay, pork belly.

- The japchae... - Japchae.

- And rice wine, please. - Sure, it will be out soon.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

I'm still not too good at Japanese. Sorry.

No, it's okay.

You're very good.

My mom lives in Korea.

Lee Ji Won.

A Korean photographer.

It's been two years since he came to Japan.

His mother lives in Korea by herself.

He has no siblings. An only child.

What about your dad?

My dad...

is gone.

His father was a fireman, and passed away when he was six years old.

While rescuing someone from a fire.

I loved my dad very much.

I still love him.

I'm 26 years old.

Oh, the same age as me.

It just slipped out.

I couldn't help but subtract five years from my age.

How about your dad?

My father?

My dad...

He works at a trading company.

He travels a lot for work.

He's a real workaholic, so I'm always worried about his health.

Oh, but my mother is a great cook.

She cooks for us every day, for the health of the family.

She also performs tea ceremonies and practices flower arrangement.

I really look up to my mother.

Oh, and I have a younger sister. A high school student.

She's a little immature for her age, but she's very cute and innocent.

Are you going out?

It's not big, but our house has a garden.

We sometimes have a barbecue in the weekend.

I envy you.

A nice family.

I couldn't stop lying.

No matter how hard I tried.

Thank you... for dinner.

Where do you live?

Oh, no. I'm okay.

I can go home by myself.

I'm sorry.

- Are you okay? - I'm alright.

Go ahead.

I did have a bad feeling.

Oh, my house is just around the corner.

So this is fine. Right here.

The heavens never let the good times last too long.

What are you doing, Sis?

Well...

Wow, good for you!

Go away!

Hey, Mom!

Some guy just gave Sis a piggyback ride home.

Excuse me...

What happened, Naoko?

Please let me down. I sprained my foot.

You're so dumb!

Why don't you ask him to come in?

Please come in, if you'd like.

Have some tea, okay?

Please.

Thank you.

Yes, yes, yes. It must hurt.

- I'm okay. - Honey. Naoko, over there.

Oh, thank you. Go ahead and sit.

Oh, Dad. This is...

I'm Lee... Lee Ji Won.

Oh, hello.

Help yourself.

What?

Now...

I'll be on my way then.

Oh.

Goodbye.

Aw...

It's over now.

- I'll show you to the fitting room. - Thank you.

There!

Lingerie can correct the body shape.

Amazing!

But...

Here you go!

That doesn't mean that you can correct the reality as well.

I should know that better than anyone.

What kind of person is he, that guy from the other day?

What do you mean "what kind of person"?

Someone I met at work.

At work?

If you were going to act all interested now

why didn't you act like it back then?

You should tell me before you bring someone home.

Our house is always a mess!

Why don't you clean it yourself then? You're old enough to know better.

That's true, but...

Are you trying to annoy me?

Annoy you?

You're thinking it would be trouble, if I were to get married.

You're kidding.

Since I pitch in a bit... from my salary, although it isn't much.

Yes, yes, we're very grateful, Miss Naoko.

But you're welcome to get married any time you want.

You're already 31, you know?

Why do you keep saying such things?

I got more shifts at my part-time job.

More shifts?

Otherwise, we won't be able to get by.

Junko, are you going out again?

You should help out with housework, you know?

Don't take it out on me!

You got dumped because you have no appeal. That's all.

That's not what we're talking about right now!

So annoying.

That's why she can't get married.

Excuse me.

Mom, you have holes in your socks again.

Oh, this?

Why do you keep wearing something like that?

Because my hands and feet get cold.

They get "kiyakiya."

What language is "kiyakiya"?

It's Korean.

No way!

Who cares about the sock?

I'll go get some cash from the bank.

I'll go grocery shopping while I'm out.

See you.

Oh, is that from when you brought the bustier over to them?

Yeah.

So beautiful!

New products from Monique Martin in France.

Yes.

Looking at photos like this...

makes you want to try harder to find a husband, doesn't it?

Right.

You've got to be more aggressive.

We're not young anymore, you know?
