00:00It happened when I was commuting on the train as usual. Someone tapped my shoulder from behind as I got off the train.

00:07Um...

00:08I turned around to find a high school girl standing.

00:11I've been thinking she was pretty for a long time on the train.

00:15Will you accept this?

00:17What?

00:19Wait!

00:20I couldn't respond right away because it was too sudden.

00:23She went back on the train.

00:25I'm Ibuki, a 32 year old office worker.

00:29All of a sudden that pretty high school girl handed me something like a letter.

00:33Was it for me or a mistake?

00:36Though I was on my way to work. I couldn't help reading the letter.

00:40So I went to the restroom to open it.

00:43I always see you standing by the doors.

00:45The way you get off the train every time lets me know you are sincere and made me fall in love with you.

00:51Please write back if you don't mind.

00:53Mei. What? I'm too old for her!

00:56I was in seven's heaven, but I didn't think it would work even if I accepted her feelings sincerely or even if it's not illegal.

01:06It's not a real man to ignore so I decided to decline her in person politely sending her an email the same day.

01:13Dear Mei, thank you for your letter.

01:15I am glad to know your feeling, but I am 32 years old. Too old for you.

01:22Can we meet and talk?

01:25Ibuki.

01:26She replied right away. We decided to meet at a family restaurant the following day.

01:32Mei was with another girl.

01:34Sorry for keeping you waiting.

01:37I'm sorry for my reckless behavior. This is my little sister. She will be gone soon.

01:43Oh, she is glaring.

01:45After her sister left Mei and I talked alone.

01:49Honestly, I was surprised, but we cannot go out.

01:52As she seems desperate, I talked humorously about my life from childhood till now. It made her at ease.

01:59This will be my first and last time to talk with a high school girl.

02:04I didn't realize that we've been talking for more than an hour.

02:07Mei makes a good impression with her right choice of words and table manners.

02:11She will take the entrance exams for college next year. I was about to get to the point.

02:17Listen, Mei.

02:18Could you date me with marriage in mind?

02:21Marriage? But you're still in high school, aren't you?

02:24After talking with you today,

02:26I like you all the more.

02:28I've liked you for a long time.

02:30I had already decided to decline, so I said,

02:34I am not good enough for you. I don't want to disappoint your parents. Do your best in your studies.

02:42Goodbye.

02:43Wait! I can send emails to you as a younger friend, can't I?

02:48Okay, if it's just emails.

02:51Great! I will message you.

02:53I thought there was no harm in talking via emails as a senior of life.

02:58After that, I got emails from her almost every day.

03:01They ranged from career consultations to small talks, but I couldn't ignore her on the train when talking, which was a problem.

03:09Good morning. Are you busy working recently?

03:11Yes, it is busy. I work in sales. I have to achieve results, laying the groundwork, etc.

03:18Mei was a very honest girl. I felt her affection so much that it hurt.

03:24Then, one day...

03:25Can you help me with study tonight?

03:28I'm not sure about seeing you in person.

03:31Her face became serious. After a while, the train stopped at her station.

03:36I'll be waiting at that restaurant until you show up.

03:38What? Wait!

03:41I was late that night because of the job.

03:43It was past 10 o'clock when I got into the restaurant with no expectation. I was surprised.

03:49Oh! Let's go home. It's too late.

03:52My parents know where I am, so please don't worry.

03:55Can you help me with this question?

03:58I helped her study for about 30 minutes, worrying about the time she can get home.

04:02Then we got out of the restaurant.

04:04Am I not enough?

04:07I can't give up. Please go out with me. It will make light of school studies. So, please!

04:12All right, if you say so.

04:16We can start dating.

04:19Seeing her crying and begging, I could not reject but only accept her feeling.

04:26I was persuaded to promise a date on the following Sunday by Mei, who was full of joy.

04:31I met her that Sunday.

04:33My dad wants to invite you for dinner. Can you come to my place tonight?

04:37My sis told my parents about you.

04:39What, tonight? Then I have to change into a jacket.

04:43Wow, it's too soon. I was planning to go visit them myself.

04:47I was a little panicked, which I tried to hide from Mei.

04:51For parents of a minor, a man in his 30s must not pass as their daughter's boyfriend.

04:56I was sure they wanted to warn me. I was prepared.

05:00Please enjoy the meal.

05:02Thank you. I will.

05:04Ibuki has the highest score in the sales department.

05:07To avoid the awkward moment of silence, I keep talking about my job, my life so far, etc.

05:13Mei's mother was smiling the whole time, but her father was grumpy.

05:18After dinner, I was asked to visit her father's study to talk with him alone.

05:22As a father, I know Mei is an honest and sweet kid.

05:26I don't want to reject a man with whom she fell in love.

05:29Honestly, though, it is hard to admit you two dating nor marrying,

05:33because you are more than 10 years elder than her.

05:37Of course, I don't want to see Mei disappointed.

05:40So to get my permission, promise me this.

05:43Yes.

05:45In no way is premarital sex allowed.

05:49Visit me once a month for dinner.

05:51Finish the dates before the curfew.

05:54If anything happens, make sure to let us know.

05:57No affairs, no nightclubs.

06:00Break up if she fails to pass the exam for her first choice college.

06:05I won't approve of the relationship unless you keep these promises.

06:09I do promise. Please approve our relationship.

06:14Well, okay.

06:16I really appreciate it.

06:19I was about to leave his study.

06:21You may suggest her to break up if possible.

06:24Oh, forget what I just said.

06:26Okay.

06:27I deeply felt his struggles as a father.

06:30It made me brace myself.

06:33The end of her second year in high school.

06:35I usually met Mei at that restaurant for dinner and helped her study.

06:39That was our dating routine.

06:41We couldn't see each other so often because she was preparing for the entrance exam.

06:45Ibuki, give me a test.

06:47All right.

06:48It is a quick buzzer quiz.

06:50Hey, you are not smiling today.

06:53What happened?

06:54The scores of the last mock exam weren't good.

06:57You still have enough time.

06:59Let's work hard together.

07:01If she fails the real exam, we have to break up.

07:05March of the final year in high school.

07:07Mei didn't pass the exam of the first choice college despite her hard work.

07:12I packed my stuff and moved out.

07:14I want to elope with you.

07:16I will work.

07:17I have small savings too.

07:19I don't want to separate either.

07:21At the same time, I don't want to disappoint your father.

07:24Because I promised.

07:25Let's talk to him.

07:27I took Mei to her house.

07:29Dad, I will try another year.

07:32So please let me study and give me another chance with Ibuki.

07:35I am asking you too.

07:38No, a deal is a deal.

07:41Mei's father stood firm on the promise.

07:44But we kept begging.

07:46Well, only one more year.

07:49Thank you so very much.

07:52Thank you, dad.

07:53Her sister popped up when I was leaving.

07:55If you made my sis cry, even when she passed the exam,

07:59you will have no place in this world.

08:01I will never do that.

08:03I appreciate Mei's father and sister for making me brace myself.

08:07One year after that.

08:09With hard work, she passed the exam for her first college choice.

08:14Congrats, Mei.

08:15I am so relieved.

08:17I want to send you a gift.

08:19What would you like?

08:20You!

08:20I want you, Ibuki.

08:22I want to be with you forever.

08:24Please, marry me.

08:26It was the second time she proposed to me.

08:29You are starting college right now.

08:32Are you sure you want me?

08:34Yes, I am.

08:35Please, marry me.

08:37I promise to make you happy.

08:40Let's do it.

08:41Yes!

08:42We kissed for the first time.

08:46Then we visited her parents for permission.

08:50Please let me marry Mei.

08:52Isn't it too soon?

08:54Oh, I think it's sweet to get married while in college.

08:57Eventually, we got their permission.

09:00With their understandings of my personality.

09:03Seven years later,

09:05I'm living with Mei's parents with our child after marrying into her family.

09:09Mei's sister is kind now that I am married.

09:12Her father adores the granddaughter.

09:15This house is small for you.

09:16Why don't you buy a new one, Ibuki?

09:19How wonderful!

09:20I will keep my job.

09:21So let's build a big house.

09:23Brother, you don't have to worry about me.

09:26Well, okay.

09:29As an only child who lost my parents in my 20s,

09:32I really appreciate this life filled with joy.
