Gimbap and Onigiri (キンパとおにぎり〜恋するふたりは似ていてちがう〜)

You're resting your head on your face and sighing like a girl who's in love.

- Was I doing that? - Yes, you were.

Don't tell me

there's been some development with your ex-boyfriend.

Well…

I couldn't stop myself from saying…

I'm sorry. I'm starting to like you again.

Maybe I shouldn't have made a move?

I see.

So that's why you're eagerly waiting for a reply, right?

CAN I CALL YOU SOMETIME TODAY?

I see.

You made up with your girlfriend, huh?

Yeah.

So, regarding what you said the other day…

I'm sorry…

Okay.

I was happy that I won your approval, though.

If this is the end,

can't we have this conversation in person?

Sorry, but I don't want to cause my girlfriend any misunderstandings.

You just dumped me, so stop flaunting it in my face.

But…

I'm happy

that you were able to keep this precious girlfriend of yours.

Yeah.

Thanks for everything.

No problem.

Well, I still look forward to working with you.

Me too.

Oh, Masumi.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

All right.

I'M BACK TOGETHER WITH TAIGA!

IT'S ALL THANK'S TO YOU, OPPA!

I'll TREAT YOU A BIG MEAL! RIGHT, WE CAN SEE AT TANOMI!

THANK YOU!

I see.

Congratulations, Rin.

Visiting a shrine?

Yeah, for hatsumode. Want to go together?

What is "hatsumode"?

You pray for happiness for the new year.

I want to go with you.

What do you think?

That sounds like fun.

That's settled then.

Also, we're having a New Year's party at Tanomi, so you should come too.

There will be osechi too.

- Osechi? - Yeah.

I've heard of that before.

It's a meal you eat during New Year's, huh?

It'll be my first time. How exciting.

What's wrong?

I'm so happy that I get to be with you again.

Me too. I feel the same way.

- Really? - Yeah.

Jinjja?

Jinjja.

Here you go.

Here you go.

All right.

Osechi is so cute.

Taiga and I made it together.

It takes a lot of time and energy.

It's like a work of art. You really are a pro, huh?

All right, eat up.

Rin, you're not going back to Korea?

Yeah…

I'll be staying in Japan for now.

That's not what I meant. I was talking about the New Year's break.

Oh, but I guess you celebrate the Lunar New Year in Korea, right?

Yes.

What about you, Shige?

Yeah…

My sister is in the hospital, so nobody will be home anyway.

So I just delivered osechi to her as a gift.

I see.

Anyway, go ahead and eat.

Thanks for the food.

Thanks for the food.

These black soybeans are delicious.

The black soybeans

symbolize the desire to work diligently throughout the new year.

- Each osechi dish symbolizes something? - Yes.

Lotus roots have holes that you can see through,

so they symbolize having a bright future.

How interesting.

Happy New Year.

- Happy New Year. - Happy New Year.

Here, Noa, have a seat.

Thanks.

All right. Happy New Year.

I look forward to spending this New Year with you.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Eat the osechi with your mom.

Thank you so much, Shige.

I got my New Year's money.

Good for you, Noa.

New Year's is the best.

Yeah.

Speaking of which, do they give out money on New Year's in Korea too?

In Korea, if you do a "sebae" like this, you get "don,"

which means money.

And so, we call it "sebaetdon."

Sebaetdon?

- Yeah, sebaetdon. - Interesting.

I like that system. Maybe I should go around doing sebae?

All you have been talking about is money.

Well, I'm always the one giving money to others.

I don't get New Year's money from my parents or my boyfriend.

You've got to be kidding!

40,000 just in one morning?

Akinori, we're getting lunch. Want to come?

I'll keep at it.

You should take a breather and start fresh.

Plus, I want to let you in on a nice deal.

Investment? So that really is profitable, huh?

It's a pretty sweet deal.

You can expect 200,000 a month in dividends.

It's a solid investment.

200,000 a month?

That sounds like a dream.

We can make bank through investments

and relax and have fun.

But…

I need 500,000 to start, huh?

If you're going to hesitate, back out.

Do you understand how lucky you are that Zaki is letting you in on this?

No, no! I'm really grateful! I'm sorry.

Um…

When do I need the money by, in order to join?

The cutoff is at the beginning of next week,

so three days is all I can wait.

Three days?

This is the best. It's so delicious.

Noa, you're drinking too fast.

It's fine.

I'm so happy.

This year is looking promising.

You're drinking too much.

Shut up.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

- Hey, Noa! - Yes?

You forgot your osechi.

- Sorry. Thank you. - There.

- Thank you. - Get home safe.

- Okay. - Bye.

- Bye, everyone. - Bye.

We'll get going too.

Okay.

Thank you for the food, Shige.

You're welcome. Go have fun.

What?

This is getting pretty old.

TANOMI

TOJO GENERAL HOSPITAL

I come to this shrine every New Year's.

Oh really?

Yeah.

HATSUMODE

- Here you go. - Thanks.

Put it in here.

Here we go. Ready…

I pray that I can be true to myself

and be with Taiga forever.

I pray that I can be with Rin forever.

Also, I pray that things work out well

regarding my work and my goals.

Also, I pray that

my family, Rin, Rin's family, and the people around me

all enjoy good health and live a happy life.

I'm sorry for asking for so many things.

Oh, but also, I pray that everything goes smoothly.

Thank you very much! My name is Hase Taiga!

I'm sorry. I asked for a lot of things.

FORTUNE

HATSUMODE

- I'll pick mine now. - Okay.

- Ready… - Ready…

How mediocre.

Blessings…

Huh?

It says I get blessings.

That's better than me. What does it say underneath?

Give me a second…

YOUR FORTUNE

It says that my wishes will come true.

That's great!

Let me see.

No.

Why not?

I'll take my time and read it when I'm alone.

Let's read it together now.

- Come on! - No.

- Just a little. - No!

Just the first part.
