00:00I'm Leo Ogawa, 28, working as a chef at this western-style restaurant.

00:06My dream?

00:07Of course, running my own place someday.

00:10But got these little issues.

00:12Hey, Ai, good morning!

00:15Ugh, ignoring me again.

00:19That's because things aren't going smoothly with Ai Kimura, the girl next door who's

00:2424 and living alone.

00:26We used to say hi and chat a bit, but probably that's the cause.

00:32Man, every day's really fulfilling.

00:36Having dreams makes life so nice and fun, huh?

00:39What are you talking about?

00:42Huh?

00:44Ever since then, she's been avoiding me.

00:47Well, she's just a neighbor, so I guess I don't really have to worry about it.

00:52That's what I thought, but...

00:55Is it just me, or is Ai getting thinner?

00:58Hey, have you been eating lately?

01:01Psh, mind your own business!

01:04Yeah, bringing up someone's eating habits doesn't feel good, huh?

01:09But despite that, Ai kept getting thinner and thinner.

01:14Then after a while, Ai looks like she's really not feeling well.

01:19Hey, Ai, listen.

01:23Ah!

01:24Ah!

01:25Alright, that's it!

01:27Hey, if you're hungry, come over and have some food at my place.

01:32You're gonna pass out any time.

01:33What the-?

01:34What's with the sudden offer?

01:37It's none of your business!

01:40Even if you say that-

01:41Shut up, just stop!

01:44Ugh!

01:45I'm hungry and have no energy for this!

01:49Ai?

01:50J-just come over for now!

01:52Huh?

01:55Ten minutes later.

01:56Here, eat up, just made some soup.

01:59It's leftovers, but it's good.

02:02Wow, it does look really good!

02:06I don't usually accept handouts.

02:09You gotta eat or you'll pass out again!

02:12Ugh...

02:13Come on, finish it before it gets cold.

02:15Fine!

02:16I'll eat it!

02:19After that, I finish the soup.

02:21Thanks for this.

02:23I owe you one.

02:25Hey, why were you so hungry?

02:27Well, since you treated me, I feel obliged to explain.

02:33Actually, I'm currently unemployed and strapped for cash.

02:38Huh?

02:39But what about unemployment benefits?

02:42My family relies on those for living expenses.

02:46What?

02:49It's tough at home, being a single parent household with lots of siblings.

02:54They're scraping by on my money, but the company I used to work for went bankrupt.

03:00Considering the amount of money my family needs, I can't compromise on my salary.

03:05So finding a new job has been tough.

03:08I'm keeping it a secret from my family and cutting down on my own expenses for them.

03:14Ai, thinking so much about your family!

03:18If I find a job, I can pay you back, but...

03:20Sorry.

03:22Then how about applying for a part-time job at the western-style restaurant where I work?

03:28But I can't keep relying on you like this.

03:31We're short-staffed in the dining area right now.

03:34It'd make me really happy if you'd join.

03:37If you apply, you owe me nothing.

03:39What do you say?

03:41Alright.

03:42If that's the case.

03:45So the next day, I started working at the western-style restaurant where I work.

03:50Welcome!

03:52I'll wash these dishes.

03:54She's a good worker. Always working hard.

03:58Nice. Looks like boss likes her too.

04:01Alright, Ai. How about trying your hand at making a salad next?

04:06You got it!

04:08Sweet response! Maybe she's got chops in the kitchen too!

04:14But then...

04:16Why does this salad taste like garbage?

04:20Yeah, looks exactly as it is in the recipe, but...

04:24What? Is it that bad?

04:27Well, this place is small, and we're short-staffed.

04:31If you can't handle salads and sides, even if you're good at other stuff...

04:36So... am I rejected?

04:39Hold up! Let me teach her how to cook, please!

04:43Let her stay and learn here!

04:45Leo!

04:47Um, please!

04:49I promise I'll prove that I can cook properly!

04:53Fine. Let's give it a trial period.

04:56During that time, get your cooking skills up.

04:59Got it! I'll do my best!

05:02And so, Ai's cooking bootcamp began.

05:05Started making something simple in my room, but...

05:09Stop right there!

05:12What? I'm in the zone!

05:15What's that in your hand?

05:18Chili pepper?

05:20Why are you putting that hot chili pepper in the onion dressing?

05:24Oh, I mean... I thought it'd add a kick!

05:29Nope! You don't have to do that! Stick to the recipe!

05:34But this is way tastier!

05:37I mean... never got to cook at home, so...

05:42Am I really that bad at cooking?

05:44Oh! The mystery of the bad salad revealed!

05:48Her taste buds are whack! Gotta fix that!

05:51First step...

05:54Few minutes later...

05:56Try this! Made it myself!

05:58Looks kinda similar to mine. What's the difference?

06:04Delicious!

06:06Not too spicy...

06:08The sweetness of the onion balances out the vinegar's sourness, and it tastes nice!

06:14What... what is this?

06:16Um... it's cuz your taste's unique.

06:20Let's start with flavors most people like.

06:23Hey! The way you say that!

06:26Well, if I can learn this tasty seasoning, it's worth it!

06:31Let's do this!

06:33Reluctantly, I went along with my suggestion.

06:38After that, we started cooking and eating the same dishes,

06:41so she could learn my style while getting seasoning tips.

06:45But I wasn't too thrilled.

06:47My cooking sucks, huh?

06:50You don't have to force yourself to eat it.

06:53Nah, it's not that bad.

06:56Just this spaghetti's a bit strong.

06:59Adjust the salt and it'll be fine.

07:01What? Really?

07:03Yeah, nobody starts out as a cooking pro.

07:07We'll get there bit by bit.

07:09Got it!

07:13Your cooking's bomb!

07:15This rich tomato ketchup flavor's killer!

07:18Even my mom can't whip up spaghetti this good!

07:22Oh, really?

07:24Like, seriously, you're awesome!

07:27Being able to whip up stuff like this, you're a genius!

07:30I wanna be able to cook like this too!

07:34Getting praise for my cooking happens a lot.

07:38But having someone eat it like it's so delicious makes me kinda shy.

07:44From then on, I took her training seriously.

07:47As she did, I started to gain weight.

07:50Today's hamburger steak is my masterpiece!

07:54I'm gonna make sure you say it's good for sure!

07:58The cooking looks delicious, but she's also back to her old shape.

08:04She looks good in an apron.

08:06Oh, it's good! This is definitely a passing grade!

08:10But not just at my restaurant. Any restaurant would hire you on the spot!

08:14Yes, I passed!

08:16Come on, eat more!

08:18Nah, I'm...

08:20Huh? Still not liking the flavor?

08:24It's not that.

08:26Ugh, then what is it?

08:29Ugh, it's embarrassing, but I can't let her stop here.

08:34I have to keep getting better.

08:36It's nothing! Well then...

08:38It's so good!

08:40Yes! I wanted to hear those words from you!

08:44Haha, I'm really glad.

08:47Ugh, I never thought I'd be able to cook something this good.

08:52And you even helped me to get a job.

08:55But still, I've been acting rude this whole time.

08:59I'm sorry.

09:01Huh?

09:03My family's poor, and I've been through a lot of harassment.

09:07So I didn't want people to look down on me and became a delinquent.

09:11But I just ended up fighting at school.

09:14At least as an apology for causing trouble to my family.

09:17I graduated and lived on my own while sending money.

09:20But then the company went bankrupt.

09:23That's when you said it.

09:26Man, every day is really fulfilling!

09:30Having dreams makes life so nice and fun, huh?

09:34What are you talking about?

09:36It's not like everyone can pursue their dreams.

09:39I was pissed off.

09:41Because I had a lot on my plate.

09:44I'm sorry.

09:46No, I should be sorry too.

09:48I couldn't watch my words.

09:50I should have been more careful.

09:52No, you didn't know my reasons.

09:55So it was just me being mad.

09:59I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable.

10:02No, I can't understand how you feel, Ai.

10:05Huh?

10:06After graduating from culinary school, I couldn't find a place to train.

10:10So I was just scraping by with part-time jobs.

10:14And then the current manager helped me out.

10:17And I finally became a full-fledged chef.

10:20I see.

10:22You went through a lot too.

10:24And yet I was only thinking about myself.

10:28When you're desperate, you can only see yourself.

10:31So we're all the same.

10:33Leo, thank you.

10:36Thanks to you, Leo.

10:38I found a dream.

10:40I want to cook even better dishes like you!

10:43That's my dream now.

10:45Then let's work hard on your cooking training.

10:48Yeah!

10:50And so we worked hard on Ai's cooking training.

10:53As a result...

10:56This is good enough. You're hired.

10:59Thank you so much!

11:01Yes!

11:02Ai was officially hired after the manager knew how capable she was.

11:07Beautiful Ai turned into our top-notch store clerk in no time.

11:12Ai, you're looking cute today!

11:15Thanks!

11:16It's all thanks to our chef whipping up delicious meals.

11:19Oh, that's Leo, right?

11:22Who knows?

11:23Hey!

11:26Talking like that during work...

11:28I'm just speaking the truth.

11:30Yeah, but...

11:32Ai's got me all shook with her comments like this.

11:38When we're heading home...

11:40I'm tired.

11:42Then we gotta recharge! Come on!

11:45Hey, why the hug?

11:48Just returning the energy you gave me with your cooking.

11:53Whoa! Something soft's touching me!

11:57And even at home, she was still doing things to get my heart racing.

12:02Wow!

12:04Yep! Your cooking will always be the best!

12:08Well, thanks.

12:10Hey, if we got married...

12:13I'd get to eat delicious meals like this every day, huh?

12:17What?

12:19That'd be amazing.

12:21Ai, what are you...

12:23I really love your cooking.

12:26Shall we get married?

12:29What? Hold on.

12:31You can't decide on a spouse based just on cooking skills.

12:35You gotta check if you share the same values or if you're compatible with that person.

12:40I was just kidding.

12:43Why are you taking it so seriously?

12:47Girls shouldn't casually say stuff like that to guys!

12:51Okay, got it?

12:53S-sorry. Went too far.

12:57It's fine, as long as you get it.

13:00So, you don't like jokes like that.

13:04Well, makes sense.

13:07My heart was racing.

13:09This is way too intense for someone like me with no love experience.

13:14Since then, Ai's been on my mind.

13:18Um, Leo, is this seasoning okay?

13:22Sorry, I'm busy. Ask the manager.

13:26Uh, okay.

13:28Aw man, can't even look her in the eye!

13:32I was busy, so I held back from tasting each other's dishes, but...

13:37Hey, Leo.

13:40You don't have to keep up with my cooking training anymore.

13:43Huh?

13:45You seem really busy lately and I don't want to be a burden.

13:48Thanks for everything.

13:50Let's keep it professional at work from now on.

13:53Uh, yeah. Sounds good.

13:56The seasoning's perfect now, so...

13:58I guess we don't need the training anymore.

14:03But that night...

14:05Usually this is the time to eat Ai's cooking.

14:09It feels kinda bland.

14:11I was really looking forward to eating with Ai.

14:14However, a few days later...

14:16Sorry.

14:18I want to quit the job.

14:20What? What do you mean?

14:22Actually, I got a full-time job at a company.

14:25Got hired.

14:27No way! You said making delicious food was your dream!

14:31Making delicious food is my dream.

14:35But I can do that even when I'm not working.

14:39It pays better and I can send more money to my family.

14:42Ai, I guess you've made up your decision.

14:45Yeah.

14:47Okay. It's sad that you're leaving, but it's your life.

14:52Apologies for any inconvenience.

14:55Thanks for everything.

14:57It's all good. Follow your own path.

15:01If I made up her mind, then there's nothing more for me to say.

15:05All I can do is see her off.

15:08With that in mind, I suggested to the manager to hold a farewell party for Ai.

15:12After thorough preparation, the day arrived, but...

15:18Weird. We're supposed to close in the afternoon for the farewell, but...

15:22She's supposed to be here by now. She's late.

15:26I'm gonna go see what's going on.

15:28Alright. Got it.

15:3130 minutes later

15:34Ai? It's me, Leo. But is everything okay?

15:39Sorry, I'm just not feeling well.

15:43Huh? Something's off.

15:46Um, were you crying?

15:48Oh, I was, um...

15:52I've had enough!

15:54I don't want to split with the manager or with you, Leo!

15:57Hey, Ai!

16:00Shut up! Do you understand who caused this mess?

16:04I want you to take responsibility seriously!

16:08What?

16:10Later, I calmed Ai down and went to talk with her in her room.

16:15I've relied on you for so long. I don't know how to say goodbye.

16:21And also, I... I don't want to be away from you, Leo!

16:26Because I like you!

16:28What?

16:30But I know I can't just rely on you all the time.

16:33That's why I decided to give up cooking training, find a new job, and leave the store.

16:38But I just can't!

16:41I want to cook together with you, Leo.

16:45Yeah, I feel the same way.

16:48I've felt really lonely since we stopped having meals together.

16:53I realized for the first time that I'm into you.

16:57Huh? Does that mean...

17:01Yeah, I like you too.

17:04Jeez, you could have said that sooner!

17:08Oh, hey!

17:10I've been agonizing over this one-sided crush for ages!

17:14From today on, let's cook together and share meals every day!

17:19Isn't that the same as before?

17:22That's all I want!

17:24And so, we started dating.

17:27Afterward, we returned to the store and reported everything to the manager.

17:32But seriously, why were you so late?

17:35I even opened the champagne I bought for this day!

17:39Sorry, boss.

17:40We'll make it up to you.

17:42It's fine.

17:45But I, you decided not to quit, right?

17:47So, it's all good!

17:49Boss!

17:51Cheers to I staying with us!

17:53And to the lovey-dovey couple!

17:56How did you...

17:58Did you think I hadn't noticed?

17:59Just get married already!

18:03After that, I apologized to the new company she was supposed to join

18:07and continued working at our place as before.

18:10Her mother remarried, and it seems like she doesn't need financial support anymore.

18:16So, let's use my part-time pay as startup funds for the store!

18:20Huh? But...

18:22Oh, no need to worry about that.

18:24I'll pass this store on to you, Leo.

18:26So, I'll use your money for the two of you to get married.

18:32Hey, boss!

18:35Many days have passed since then.

18:38I'm home!

18:40Oh, hey!

18:42We're still working together at this store,

18:44cherishing these important days with our family.

18:47We plan to continue doing so.

18:50Hi! It's me, Leo!

18:54Thanks for watching my channel!

18:57I'm super happy if you watch the next and other videos, too!
