00:00Hmm, didn't knew the park was here.
00:03My name is Rui Tanaka.
00:05I'm an ordinary office worker who works at a normal company.
00:08I work tirelessly day in and day out, and the only time I can relax is by taking a stroll
00:14at night.
00:15Today, I decided to take a different route and came across a park I've never seen before.
00:21Hey old man, that's my spot, you know.
00:25Excuse me?
00:26You're in my way.
00:27Could you move?
00:29Um, my name is an old man, you know.
00:32What'd you say?
00:33Then what is your name?
00:35Rui Tanaka.
00:36And you?
00:37Karen Ito.
00:38Hey Karen, you a student, right?
00:41What are you doing in the middle of the night?
00:44It's not a good idea for kids to be out walking around late at night, you know.
00:48Why are you suddenly scolding me?
00:50You're pissing me off!
00:51Well, whatever.
00:52I'm gonna get a ride soon.
00:55Okay, if your parents are going to pick you up.
00:58Parents?
00:59What are you saying?
01:00You're funny.
01:01Huh?
01:02People who work around the clock and are hardly ever home?
01:06There's no way they would come because they don't care about me at all.
01:09Then who's coming?
01:10The people in the hood.
01:12I'm planning to join them, who runs this area.
01:15And today's my first day.
01:17They told me to wait here.
01:18Why you gotta put yourself in danger like that?
01:21Ugh, it doesn't really matter, you know.
01:24Like, no one cares about me.
01:26I even don't have friends at school, so it's not fun.
01:30Just because of that, you don't have to join that kind of group.
01:33You'll definitely regret it.
01:35And besides, those people are messed up.
01:38Come on, can you just shut up?
01:41Why do you have to label my people like that?
01:44The people who has power in this area are literally bastards, am I right?
01:49Those guys have always been rowdy and causing trouble since long ago.
01:54Besides, I hear they are connected to the Yakuza, people behind the scenes.
01:59Like, why are you even so knowledgeable about the underground world?
02:04What?
02:05Well, you know, rumors.
02:07Yeah, rumors.
02:08I see.
02:09Well, it doesn't matter to me either way.
02:13Anyway, just don't join them, trust me.
02:16It's not safe.
02:18Huh?
02:19Stop being nosy!
02:21Even if a stranger like me ends up in trouble, it's not your problem, right?
02:25It's not like you care about what happens to someone like me anyway.
02:29Uh...
02:30Enough!
02:31Huh?
02:32You can act on impulse like that and regret it later, you know?
02:37Why can't you care about yourself more?
02:39You're still young, and you've got so many options.
02:42Uh...
02:43Oops, I think I went too far.
02:47Anyway, I'll take you home, so let's go.
02:50But...
02:51Aw, man, they're already here?
02:54If we go before they find us, no one will say anything, right?
02:58So come on, let's go!
03:00Hey!
03:0110 minutes later.
03:03Hold on a sec, I'm gonna go get my car.
03:06What?
03:07Like, I mean, I'm fine, you know?
03:10I can't let you go home by yourself like this.
03:13No, I mean, this is my house.
03:16What?
03:17Really?
03:18Same apartment?
03:19Yeah, fourth floor.
03:20I'm on the fifth.
03:22Uh, alright, then just go to bed.
03:25After that, take some time to think.
03:27Also, you gotta talk with your parents.
03:29Even if they are busy with work, I'm sure they care about you.
03:33And if you feel uncomfortable doing it alone, I can help you out, so...
03:38Why are you doing this for me?
03:41Uh, well...
03:42Karen?
03:43What on earth are you doing here?
03:46Were you...
03:47Did you go out again?
03:49Dad?
03:50Mom?
03:51Again?
03:52Did her parents know that she was going out like this?
03:56Who cares?
03:57It's none of your business.
03:59Karen.
04:00I'm sorry, has my daughter caused you any trouble?
04:03Uh, no, not at all, sir.
04:06I see, thank God.
04:08Thank God?
04:09How can this be okay?
04:11What?
04:12You both knew that she was walking around in the middle of the night, right?
04:16Ugh.
04:17Did you think it was okay for a high school student to go out late at night?
04:21Of course not.
04:23Going out at night as a girl is dangerous, no matter how old you are.
04:27What are you saying?
04:29If you knew that, why didn't you stop her?
04:31Well, that was because I was busy working and couldn't find time.
04:37I understand that you are busy with work, but maybe you can spare a little more time for your daughter, too.
04:43Am I right?
04:44Am I right?
04:45Uh.
04:47Sigh.
04:48Just please pay more attention.
04:50She was almost about to take a misstep on her way.
04:53Once you're stranded on a dangerous path, there's nowhere to go but down.
04:58It's really hard to go up.
05:00What do you mean?
05:02Was almost about to take a misstep?
05:04Ugh.
05:05She was trying to join the hood.
05:07Karen, are you serious?
05:10Like what?
05:11Why does it matter to you guys?
05:14Of course it does.
05:16Please.
05:18Just please don't join those people.
05:21Why are you crying?
05:24Because.
05:26You were trying to do such a dangerous thing.
05:29I thought you don't care about me.
05:32What kind of parent would not care their own daughter?
05:35Mom.
05:37Uh.
05:38For now, how about relaxing at home today?
05:41I mean, I'm sure both of you are going through a lot, so just tell me if you need help.
05:46Since I also live in the same apartment.
05:48Thank you.
05:50Alright then.
05:51Come on, Karen.
05:53Y-yeah.
05:54I hope they can have a genuine conversation and things work out.
05:59A few days later, I had been summoned to Karen's house.
06:04Thank you for that day.
06:06Thanks to you, we were able to fully convey our feelings with each other.
06:10Oh, it's nothing, sir.
06:12I'm glad that things worked out.
06:15To summarize the story of the Ito family, it goes like this.
06:20Mr. and Mrs. Ito are both doctors who work at a hospital with a lot of night shifts.
06:26They do a lot of surgeries, so when they come home, they're completely wiped out.
06:31Even on their days off, they're usually studying, attending conferences, or doing volunteer work overseas.
06:37So they don't have much time to spend with Karen.
06:40It seems like they were just too busy to give her the attention she needed.
06:44Although they knew they should prioritize spending time with Karen, their work made it difficult for them to do so.
06:51They felt guilty about not being able to give her the attention she needed, so they let her do as she pleased.
06:57However, after the recent incident, they talked it over and realized that they had been making Karen feel lonely.
07:06We're in charge of saving lives, so we can't afford to slack off.
07:11But what kind of doctors would we be if we can't take care of the most important thing in our lives?
07:18We'll talk to our superiors about our work schedule and make sure we have time to spend with our daughter.
07:24I'm so glad you know Karen.
07:27Thanks to you, Dewey. Thank you.
07:30By the way, what happened with that group you were talking about?
07:34I turned them down.
07:36I figure it's way better to tell them now, or otherwise it's gonna become a mess later on, you know?
07:42You did good.
07:43But now I don't have any friends.
07:48So, Dewey, will you be my friend?
07:52What? Me?
07:54Yeah, I am... have a feeling that I can really get along with you.
07:59Please, Mr. Tanaka, could you be friends with Karen?
08:03Well, if everyone's okay with it.
08:06And that's how I became friends with a younger girl.
08:11The next day.
08:13Hey, Dewey.
08:14Oh, hey, Karen.
08:16You were here? Were you waiting in front of my house?
08:20Yeah, I mean, didn't know when you were gonna come home, so...
08:24Like, if I had a spare key, I wouldn't have to wait outside, you know.
08:28You don't have it? A spare key?
08:31Nah, I mean, of course I have, but...
08:33Thanks!
08:35Hey, yo! What do you mean, thanks?
08:38I think it's a lot safer to wait inside than to be outside, you know?
08:42So, that key... can you give it to me, please?
08:49Give it to you? Like, come on, that's...
08:52No.
08:54Um, you know it's not fair to give me that kind of look.
08:58Because...
09:01Alright, then.
09:03Well, I guess it's better than letting her wait outside.
09:06Yay! Thanks, Dewey!
09:09So, why'd you come?
09:11Of course, to hang out.
09:13Oh, boy.
09:14You're my friend now, right?
09:16Yeah, but...
09:17But, like, I'm down for something else, too, you know.
09:20Excuse me?
09:22What the... hey!
09:24You know, I... fell in love with you.
09:28What?!
09:29So you better be prepared from now on.
09:31Okay, darling?
09:33Because I'm the type of girl to go all out, you know?
09:36What?!
09:38And so, from this day on, the fierce attack from Karen began.
09:43On weekdays, she was usually at home and greeted me when I came back from work, exhausted.
09:49Even on days off, she frequently came over, passionately declaring her love for me.
09:55Although I tried to maintain composure like an adult, it was pretty tough to resist her straightforward expressions of love.
10:02Come on, Rui. Pull yourself together.
10:05No matter how cute she is, I ain't gonna be swayed.
10:09And so, I continued to desperately defend my dignity as an adult.
10:15And one night...
10:17Welcome back, darling!
10:19I don't quite remember becoming your darling, though.
10:22Come on, don't say such cold things.
10:25By the way, it kinda smells good.
10:28I tried making dinner today.
10:30It's pretty good, so let's eat.
10:33It's surprisingly good.
10:35You don't have to say surprisingly, you know.
10:38Hey, Rui. You want me to feed you?
10:41It's hard to eat like that, so I'll pass.
10:44Oh, come on. You have to let me feed you.
10:49Hey, you know, what exactly do you like about me?
10:52To you, I must be an old guy, right?
10:55Because... you were the first one.
10:58You were the first one who took me seriously and really faced me head-on like that.
11:03I was really, really happy about that.
11:07So, you fell in love with me because of that?
11:10What triggers falling in love is something like that, right?
11:14It struck me like lightning.
11:17But at the same time, it felt like fate, you know, darling.
11:20Hmm, I see.
11:22Hey, come on. Listen to me seriously.
11:26The miso soup is delicious.
11:29Stop being mean.
11:32I thought I would get bored of this approach eventually.
11:35But before I knew it, a month had passed.
11:38Even though I tried not to, I couldn't help but become conscious of it.
11:42The exchange of I'm home and welcome back,
11:45as well as Karen's pure love and kindness,
11:48had all seeped into my heart.
11:51She's still a student. Come on, Rui.
11:54As an adult, I have to hold back.
11:57But this is bad.
11:59If things keep going like this, I'm really going to fall for her.
12:04One evening, as I was struggling with these conflicting emotions...
12:08Oh no, we're out of eggs.
12:10I'll go buy some, Rui. We'll be back soon.
12:13I'll go with you.
12:15It's okay. I'll be back in no time.
12:19She said she'll be back soon.
12:21But isn't she taking a bit too long?
12:24I'm starting to worry a little.
12:26I think the supermarket is a shortcut through the park.
12:29I hope nothing's happened.
12:31You really think you can run away from this?
12:34You said it yourself.
12:36So you gotta face it.
12:38It's an important time for us to expand our power.
12:41But I don't want to join anymore.
12:44Well then, I guess I gotta force you to understand.
12:47No!
12:49Don't you think it's really uncool to threaten and intimidate girls like that?
12:54Huh?
12:55Besides, aren't you guys over 20 years old?
12:58It ain't okay to lay your hands on a minor.
13:01Rui?
13:03What the? Who are you?
13:05Doesn't matter who I am.
13:07For now, just step away from that kid.
13:10Shut up!
13:12Just to let you know, you're the ones who started it, alright?
13:20Is that all you got?
13:22Wow!
13:24He's too strong!
13:26Who is this guy?
13:28Just an ordinary businessman who used to be a little mischievous back in the day.
13:33Wait, you mean that scar?
13:36Wait a minute!
13:37You're the Lone Tiger!
13:39No way!
13:40The legendary badass!
13:42That strongest badass who took on everyone solo and never joined a crew?
13:48Alright, you guys.
13:50Eek!
13:51Um, well, you know...
13:53You guys keep causing trouble all over the place.
13:56Hanging out with sketchy peeps.
13:59I got all that dirt on you, you know.
14:02Not having mercy on bad guys is kinda like my policy.
14:06Um, uh...
14:08If you keep getting involved with this kid, I'm gonna have to get serious.
14:13So what are you gonna do?
14:15We're sorry.
14:17We'll never get involved with her again!
14:20Rui!
14:21Never knew you were that kind of guy before.
14:24No wonder you were knowledgeable about the underground world.
14:28Yep, that's right.
14:30Well, I knew that particular group was no good.
14:33But most importantly, once you stray from path, it's really hard to turn back, you know.
14:39So I had to stop you no matter what.
14:42So...
14:44You being nice to me all this time was just out of pity?
14:47And you're not attracted to me as a woman?
14:50No, that's not true.
14:52What?
14:53I really think it's wrong to have these kinds of feelings.
14:57But I've fallen in love with you, Karen.
15:00So please, Karen, will you go out with me with the goal of getting married?
15:04I'm serious about this.
15:07Of course, Rui!
15:09And so, Karen and I became a couple.
15:14By the way, that group who tried to do terrible things to Karen was completely wiped out.
15:19Since the time I helped Karen, I had been thinking of doing something about them
15:24and consulted my friend Ron, who is a police officer.
15:28We collected evidence of their misdeeds and had them all arrested.
15:32With this, it's unlikely that any troublesome gangs will appear in the town again.
15:38After that, we went ahead and told Karen's parents about our relationship on the same day.
15:44Her parents approved of us being together.
15:47Of course, we intend to have a healthy relationship until she turns 20.
15:52But...
15:54Rui, let's have a kiss, my baby!
15:57Hey, what did I tell you?
15:59We ain't gonna do those stuffs until you're 20.
16:02What? But come on!
16:05No buts!
16:07Then what about in the cheek?
16:09No can do!
16:11You're such a shy guy, Rui.
16:13Shut up!
16:15My days are filled with Karen's constant lovey-dovey gestures that leave me flustered.
16:22A few years passed since those lively days.
16:25I've been waiting for this moment for so long.
16:29Me too.
16:30Rui, I love you so, so, so much!
16:34Thank you so much for saving me back then.
16:38Please love me forever from now on.
16:41Okay, my love?
16:43Of course, I will always love you.
16:48I'm the luckiest girl on earth, my love.
16:53Hi, it's me, Mel!
16:56Thanks for watching my channel!
16:59I'm super happy if you watch the next and other videos too!
