Morning. Yuta was playing with the other children when Souta (Amano Yu), who had arrived at the nursery school with Mirai, greeted him cheerfully with, "Master Ma! Good morning!" When Yuta replied cheerfully with, "Good morning, Souta!", Souta informed him, "Today, Mommy is going to get married."
"What? A bride?!" Yuta was surprised. When Mirai explained that she would be wearing a wedding dress for the photo shoot, Yuta kindly encouraged her, saying, "Good luck."
That evening, when it was time to pick up Mirai, she hadn't arrived at the park, and her phone wasn't working. Worried, Yuuta went to Mirai's apartment with Souta. However, he found the front door unlocked and Mirai collapsed on the floor.
When Mirai woke up, Yuta said with concern, "You should take some medicine and go to bed. I made some porridge just in case." After putting Souta to bed, Yuta left.
On social media, there was a lot of excitement, with comments such as "Ma-sensei's 'Do your best' is the best," "Ma-sensei's 'Do your best' is amazing!", "Ma-sensei's 'Do your best' was so touching I watched it three times," "Ma-sensei even made porridge for me, tears," "He even brought the porridge to my bed... so domestic," "Ma-sensei is so cool every week," and "Ma-sensei healed me again this time. I'm so touched."
The drama is based on the popular manga "My Future Son: A Son Came Down From Heaven After 10 Years of Singles!" written by Kumiko Aso and illustrated by Hajime Kuromugi. Mirai, who is unsure about love, work, and dreams, suddenly becomes a mother. Through raising a child, she learns about living with others and supporting each other, and the story depicts her rekindling her life.
