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〜)

Good morning.

Good morning.

Here. Enjoy.

Everything looks delicious.

I can really eat all this?

Yeah.

Because I'm not going home for Chuseok,

eomma brought me tons of side dishes

and snacks that I love.

Chuseok?

It's kind of like Obon in Japan.

I see.

Speaking of which, are you going home for Obon?

I'm still thinking about it.

Let's eat before it gets cold.

Thank you for the food.

Thank you for the food.

This is good.

Kkulmat.

What? Was that wrong?

That's what you say when it's delicious, right...

Kkulmat?

Yeah, that!

That's right. It's right, but…

You're too cute.

The fact that you're trying to remember Korean words

makes me happy.

I'm glad.

Let's eat.

I ate a little too much.

You basically ate all the seaweed soup, after all.

Oh, sorry! I couldn't help myself…

Did you want one too?

Huh?

All right…

I'll shu… sho…

I'll share some with you.

Thank you.

NURUNGJI

Can I ask what flavor this is?

A warm flavor.

A warm flavor?

This is my favorite candy.

It lifts my spirits especially when I'm feeling down,

so you have to try it.

I'll look forward to it.

Thank you for sharing such a precious candy with me.

What's wrong?

BIG BRO

Hello?

This is route number TE301.

Last stop is Nagano Station.

We will arrive at Nagano Station

at approximately 5:05.

We will now turn off the lights…

- You can do it! - Taiga!

- Run! Go! - Run Taiga!

You can do it!

Taiga!

Taiga.

You're off the team.

Don't look so depressed.

You were just a reserve member this one time.

I'm not depressed…

If you have the time to be sulking,

shouldn't you be practicing?

Food is ready. Eat up.

- Thank you. - All right.

I made the onigiri small for you.

It's easier to eat that way.

Right? Make sure you eat a lot.

Here. Do your best.

Thank you.

Just don't get hurt.

Forty-seven, forty-eight, forty-nine,

fifty, fifty-one…

- Bye, Taiga. - Bye.

Bye.

- Coach says he's treating us today. - No way!

How much will that be?

5000 meters.

Ready… Go!

Forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty, fifty-one…

First place, 13 minutes 51 seconds.

Coach.

Taiga.

I understand that you're working hard.

But you know…

You're not the only one

who is working hard.

21. HASE TAIGA

The dorm cafeteria is understaffed.

So from now on, go and help them.

- Man, that's brutal. - The cafeteria?

Poor guy.

He got an endorsement and he's a reserve?

You don't have to come out.

I'll contact you once I get to Tokyo.

Taiga.

Are you really sure?

Huh?

You know,

you've loved running since you were a child.

You would run around all day if I let you.

I bet you still want to run...

Enough about track.

There are a ton of people who are on a completely different level than me.

I tried to run as fast as I could, but it was pointless.

Just "liking" it…

Was not enough.

That's all there is to it.

Don't make me talk about it anymore.

Okay…

You're right…

It's okay.

You didn't fail.

You have a whole life ahead of you.

Don't be anxious.

Find something only you can do, and do it at your own pace.

I'm sure…

As long as you try your best, that's enough.

Bye.

Welcome home!

Taiga!

I'm home.

You don't have time. Hurry and get changed.

Well then…

I'd like to thank everyone

who took time out of their busy schedules to be here

for our father's 13th anniversary.

May he rest in peace.

- May he rest in peace. - May he rest in peace.

Yuji,

- thank you for today. - No, thank you.

I must say, Masa, I'm so glad

- I asked you for help. - It was nothing.

Good thing you did.

Although, it is more than 90% a loan rather than "my home."

- That can't be helped. - But I think you bought at a good time.

The interest rates and price of land were low.

Hey, Haruto.

- If Masa says so, that must be true. - Yeah.

- Right? - If it's Masa.

- Come here. - You should all go to him for help.

That's right.

As expected…

Come over here. Up we go.

REMARKABLE! RENEWS HIGHEST RANKING FOR THE PREFECTURE

I'll help.

Thank you.

Dad liked wood ear mushrooms, didn't he?

Oh!

You're good!

I do this every day.

- I'll take this. - Sure.

So?

Huh?

What are you planning to do with your life?

Actually,

the restaurant I'm working at right now is pretty nice.

You said it was a privately run izakaya, right?

Yeah.

The owner and I run it on our own.

And he relies on me a lot.

You're the only part-timer?

Yeah.

Come on, he relies on you

because he has nobody else.

Don't get the wrong idea.

Anyone can do your job.

- Dad! - What's wrong?

You little baby. Up we go. All right.

Where's your mom? Let's go.

But I guess what he said is right.

No offense to your brother,

but I think he's wrong.

Both Tanomi, and the owner really need you.

You think so?

Not only are you a good cook,

but you're also good at explaining the menu,

and you're always smiling, no matter how busy it is.

But it doesn't have to be me…

Just like he said, anybody can do that.

That's not true.

I don't think many people

can keep that attitude up day after day,

like it's nothing.

It's something to be proud of. I know it.

Being consistent over a long period of time,

is the most powerful trait.

Am I wrong?

I believe

that your training right now will not be wasted.

NURUNGJI

She's right…

It's a warm flavor.

Hey, where were you? Hurry up and help us.

Hey…

Um…

Right now, I'm training.
