'I don't want you to change for me. I don't want to change you, which I like.' Takako Hara (Yuka), 32, told Kotaro Ozu (Takahiro Miura), who was seven years younger. Takako, who was attracted to Kotaro's straightness to declare 'I can never make my favorite woman cry', makes Kaori (Mayuko Kawakita) cry for herself. Kotaro is no longer the one she likes. Tell them that they will end up. 'Please give me a little more time.' Takako pushes Kotaro down. She said, 'I don't want to suffer or hurt anymore. It's worse than making me cry.'
And Takako, who touched on the kindness of Egawa (Hirofumi Arai) who cares for herself, said, 'I thought I was alone because no one chose me, but I was alone because I ran away because no one chose me. Maybe. 'I feel that way, and I decide to deepen my relationship with Egawa as a friend.
On February 22, Takako's birthday was just around the corner. Kotaro has scheduled a dinner party with Takako, who has no plans, and her fiancé, Kaori's parents, without knowing her birthday. Kotaro, who is preparing to marry Kaori, asks her mother, who divorced because of her father's affair, if she really has any regrets. Kotaro came to think 'I don't want anyone to cry' when I saw my mother who was made to cry by her affair. 'Sure, that person made me cry, but I used to make him laugh a lot,' Kotaro's mother said. 'I don't think it makes sense if you don't cry, even if you don't cry,' Kotaro couldn't say anything. On the other hand, Takako deepens exchanges with Egawa. On the way home after drinking with her, she took her taxi to her parents' house and she happened to meet her mother, Kue. Kue, who was pleased that Takako was with the man, urges Egawa to go up to her house. Takako and Egawa were confused, but it was memorable for Takako that not only Hisae but also her normally quiet father, Toshio, showed a relieved expression.
A girls-only gathering with Yuko (Miwako Ichikawa) and Hidemi (Maho Yamada) for the first time in a long time. The topic is Takako's birthday, which is approaching. Takako invites them to come because her mother, Kue, wants to invite Egawa to hold her birthday party. When she hears that she feels good with Egawa, Yuko and Hidemi, who get excited all at once, send an ale saying, 'Takako, run!'
On the other hand, the topic of Kotaro, Imamura (Tomo Yanagishita), and Egawa's men's association is Kotaro's marriage. Kotaro was urged by Kaori to 'write a letter to me.' He was asked to write down what happened since he met and what he liked about Kaori, and he complained that he didn't know what to do. When he tries to write, what comes to mind is Takako's face ... Still preparing for marriage. Kotaro answers 'yes' to Egawa who asks 'I'm doing well with Kaori-chan.' 'Yes, don't turn around anymore! Run!' Imamura said so.
Kotaro sees her honeymoon pamphlet at a travel agency that went out with Kaori. But nowhere comes. At that time, Kaori actually called Takako, and she was surprised to hear from her sister Kotomi that she had a direct discussion without her knowledge. Kotaro picks up a Christmas present book cover that she couldn't give to Takako. Kotaro, who couldn't help but remember the various facial expressions of Takako and her smile since she met, rushed irresistibly--! ??
