START-283 _The son hired a maid to take care of his father

Quan is a middle-aged man, a former chef of XXVN restaurant, taking care of his elderly father alone at home. During his visits, he gradually became attracted to Ms. Yano, an extremely dedicated elderly care worker of the Commune Committee. Quan often tried to approach her, although at first she resisted strongly, but gradually seemed to accept his constant hardness without protest. The story chronicles a tumultuous year where the father, in fits of confusion, confuses Ms. Yano with his deceased wife Sae, causing tense situations. Quan struggled with personal responsibilities and emotions, gradually realizing his father's dependence on Ms. Yano's gentleness. Finally, he suggested changing the caregiver to avoid unnecessary incidents, but at the same time expressed his desire to see Ms. Yano again outside of work. The story depicts the complexity of emotions, family responsibilities and the fragile boundaries in the relationship between caregivers and family, as well as the problem of Japan's aging population.
