The 69th episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Kaze,Kaoru " (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), starring Ai Mikami and Juri Kosaka , aired on July 2nd, and viewers were drawn to a comment made by Kenjiro Shimada, also known as "Shimaken" (played by Masaya Sano).
Rin (Mikami) and Shimaken reunited at a dumpling shop after a long time. Rin confided in Shimaken about the frustrations that had been building up at work. When Shimaken asked, "Did you enjoy your work as a teacher or supervisor?", Rin looked down and replied, "Whether I liked it or not...it was work."
Then Shimaken said, "Well, that's great then. You can now concentrate on the job you love. You love nursing, right? I like Rin because you said you were excited about becoming a nurse and that you enjoyed listening to patients' stories."
Shimaken, realizing that he had blurted out his true feelings of "I like you" without thinking, hastily corrected himself, saying, "I was just talking about your attitude towards work..." Encouraged by Shimaken's words, Rin smiled and said, "Shimaken-san, you're my kite (paper airplane)," before leaving.
On social media, comments included: "I can't stop feeling giddy this morning," "Did he confess his feelings casually?", "It's like they're saying they're special to each other, and it made me giggle," "Things seem to be going well," and "There's a high possibility they'll end up together."
