Kaoru can't figure out why Tatsurou said those words to her. She starts to think her fiance has been reincarnated in Tatsurou. She gives him a ticket to her next concert and he accepts.
While talking to Chie, she asks her if she said anything to Tatsurou. She comes clean and admits she told him the phrase. This angers Kaoru. She's angry that he's taken advantage of her feelings and she wants to get him back for it. The night of the concert, she is invited to a party afterwards and she accepts. She asks if she can bring a friend and they tell her yes. At the party she makes Tatsurou look bad. She makes it known in front of everyone that she has no intention of marrying him. She ignores him until he leaves the party.
Broken hearted, he arrives home and tells Junpei he'll never get married. He's giving up.
In the meantime, Kaoru has already told Chie what she did. Her friend is there (she sat next to Tatsurou, who didn't know they were friends) and the friend tells her he looked like a nice guy. Kaoru tells her she's angry that he used her feelings. Chie says he has no idea what those words mean to her. She says she never told him anything but the words because she said she thought if he said them to her, it would make her happy. That night happens to be the 3rd anniversary of her fiance's death and she's told Chie that next day she will go to the cemetery. While she's listening to music (that obviously reminds her of him) she gets a call.
Next scene she is at the cemetery with Junpei. She tells him how he was late for the wedding and got into an accident so he died the very day they were to be married. She tells him that's why she can't be with Tatsurou and she figures Junpei will go home and let Tatsurou know and he'll be okay with everything. She later calls Tatsurou and apologizes to him for her behavior at the party...she tells him she was tense due to the concert. He tells her it's fine. She asks to see him next day so she can apologize in person. He says he just got his bonus from work and he feels rich so he will treat her to dinner. They make the date. She tells Chie she will break things off with him nicely.
They meet at the restaurant's bar and Tatsurou asks her what those words meant to her and she asks him "didn't your brother tell you?" He starts babbling about how they belong together and about their future. He tells her they won't be wealthy but they'll always have enough to eat. Then the song that reminds her of her fiance starts to play and she starts to tear. She starts to remember when they talked about her wedding dress. She tells him he can't see it until he gets to the church and he tells her "I better not be late". When she comes out of her fog, she asks Tatsurou how much bonus he got and he tells her. She says he should take all the money and bet it on 1 horse. He tells her he needs to pay the mortgage on his condo; but she says she likes a man who can take a gamble. He says he doesn't really gamble. So she coldly tells him she guesses they weren't meant for each other after all. She gets up and walks away. He offers to bet half but she keeps going.
He goes to visit her the next day (at the philharmonic where she works) and shows her his betting slips. Tells her he took all his money and bought all the slips. She grabs them and they run inside the building and turns on the TV to watch the race. He begins to dance as it seems the horse is going to win...in the end it does not and he's lost all his money. She says she didn't think he would do it and he tells her he knows she was only trying to dump him by telling him that. He forgives her and tells her that he was engaged once and the girl dumped him on their wedding day. He said he was hurt and always wished he had the courage to go find her and try and propose to her especially after she reprimanded him...he felt alive. He tells her he'll see her and she says goodbye.
Okay, I hate it when a drama is sappy and makes me tear. I feel so bad for this guy; but it just goes to show that some pretty women are so damn cold...it's sad. It's late but I want so badly to watch the next episode. It'll have to wait though. Tomorrow is another day. This is a good one so far.
