The Novelist (2018–2019): Season 1, Episode 3 - Night of Desire and Impulse - full transcript

Haruhiko finally met Kijima's editor, Kido-San, and Kijima get him to go get some drink from the shop. Later that night, he was left with a drunk Kijima alone, in the house, and they started to kiss.

A collision between a pedestrian and a cyclist.

The injury takes two months to heal. The perpetrator was...

me.
- Haruhiko Kuzumi?

I will work hard and pay for the hospital bill.

How about you start working now?

I want you to write down what I read out loud.

This story is...?

About an affair with the mother-in-law.

I'm a porn writer.

It's very common. I used to be a novelist but slipped down to writing porn.

You are honest.



That is exactly what I like about you.

Why are you coming in here without my permission?

I used the spare key.

I've known him since when we were students.

Or should I say we have an inseparable relationship?

What are they doing?

What are they talking about secretively?

What's going on with those two?

Kuzumi, since Kido is here, too, let's drink together.

- Huh?
- What?

Here. Can you go to the supermarket near the station for some food?

I feel like he made up a good reason to get rid of me.

I mean, those two seemed very close.

Besides, whether he's his editor or friend,



why would he have a spare key to his house?

He's my life saver.

Right?

Something like that.

And that peculiar atmosphere between them.

Oh no! Right now, could they be...?

I don't know what to do with you.

You do stuff like this when I leave you for too long.

When did you bring that young boy in?

I told you.

There is nothing going on between him and me.

I don't believe that.

When you have such a sexy body.

No. I don't want to do it today.

You promised to let me have you anytime.

I never made such a promise...

I won't give you any work, if you refuse.

Do whatever you want.

No!

Stay put!

I won't do it with you anymore...

Shut up.

What do you want, Mr. Kijima?

What?

Tell me.

- Wo...
- Work, isn't it?

Not work, but rather...

Rather, what?

I'd rather have your...

How despicable of me.

No way. They can't be!

[Episode 3 - The night of desire and urge]

Are you really all right?

Can you write, to begin with?

Sorry. I want you to wait a little bit more.

Yeah. I will wait.

But... I'm telling you this as a friend, okay?

What is it?

You don't need to take that much trouble to write, you know?

You may be right.

But...

No way. No.

I don't think...

I'm starting to like...

having him help me.

Sir...!

What's the matter?

Nothing.

You ran all the way?

I thought you were waiting for the food.

Seriously?

Yeah. It seems we were in the same seminar,

but I don't remember it at all.

He's awful, right? We didn't have that many students.

I didn't have any boy friends.

Yeah?

You should be careful, too.

He looks this way, but he's such a player.

You are exaggerating.

He had the girls in our seminar and club,

and old women we don't know, one after another.

Old women, too?

I'm a pushover. I can't say "no" to anyone.

What? Are you bragging how popular you were?

I didn't see you that way.

The girl I used to date was two-timing with him.

I heard about that.

What do you mean, "I heard about that"?

I still hold a grudge from then.

Get over it.

You have a family now.

- You are married?
- Yeah.

In fact, he's the father of a cute girl.

But at work, he makes those books he can never show to his daughter.

He's a good father.

I see.

That crazy imagination I had earlier is stabbing my heart.

Don't look at it!

- It's fine.
- What are you doing?

Here. This is her.

She's cute!

He's the kind of father that has his daughter's picture on the home screen.

He doesn't look like that kind of person.

Is it bad?

- No.
- Right?

You are now a respectable family man.

So what?

Good work.

Good work.

Oh! What are you doing?

- My hand slipped.
- Hey!

I'll get something to wipe it.

What? When did you drink so much, stupid!

I didn't drink that much.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

No, he's not.

Kijima. Hey, Kijima.

Let's go to bed. Can you walk?

- I can't walk.
- Move your feet. Don't be a baby.

You promised me to drink only a little bit.

I didn't drink that much.

Kuzumi, can you lend me a hand?

Yes.

There.

His clothes are wet. Let's take them off.

I'll help you.

Lift his hip.

1, 2, 3.

There you go.

What's this? Are we having a threesome?

Please, shut your mouth. Okay?

- Put the cover on.
- Okay.

I see you are used to this kind of stuff.

He's always had bad drinking habits.

He quit drinking for a while after getting ill.

I see.

Please be mindful when you are with him.

Oh, I probably shouldn't be asking you.

You are helping him with work only for a limited-time, right?

Right. Until his arm is healed.

That's good to know.

I don't think you should be involved with him too deeply.

What do you mean?

He's selfish and grumpy.

So, I'm worried that you will be pushed around like I am.

Oh, no. It's late. I'm going home while the train still runs.

You should go home, too. He can be left alone.

Kido. Are you leaving?

Sorry. I'll get scolded if I use a taxi.

Daddy, let's sleep together.

Stop it. That's gross.

Then, I'll call you again.

- Take care of your arm, okay?
- Yeah.

Goodnight.

What is their relationship, really?

Call the number on my card anytime if you have any problems.

I will.

Then, I'll leave him to your care.

Are you okay?

Do you have a headache?

Yeah.

I'm going to get some water then.

I don't want it.

Stay here.

Sleep with me.

Okay?

Why am I doing this?

You are so close, Sir.

It's like I don't know who you were today.

He's asleep.

He won't wake up... maybe.

That's it?

Good morning.

Good morning.

It gets hard in the morning when you are young.

I'm sorry.

Don't be. It's healthy.

No...

I'm sorry about last night.

I was troublesome, wasn't it?

I don't remember a thing, though.

I don't think you should drink so much.

Maybe not.

I didn't mean to show you the shameful side of me.

Forget it. Everything.

[This drama is fiction]

I kissed Mr. Kijima.

He's doing it on purpose, isn't he?

You don't have to come here anymore.

Don't say it like that!

Sorry.

What is it, Mr. Kijima?
