[Performance Evaluation Meeting In Progress]

Cooperating with the Sales Department, you've managed to acquire four new projects.

It's very impressive you've managed to do that in the midst of our ongoing projects.

Thank you.

But I'm worried your workload is bigger now. How do you feel about it?

It doesn't pose a problem for now.

I'll let you know if things get too much to handle.

Okay.

I'll make a point to check with you, case by case.

Very well. Thank you for your consideration.

Next on the agenda is...

You've been with our department for three years now.

That's right.

Do you feel like going back to the Sales Department?

To be honest, I'm wondering if a part of you wants to experience working in the other departments.

Right now, I want to give it my all at the Marketing Department.

Come sit here.

There's still a lot I want to learn here.

I see. That's a relief.

Let's see what's next...

In terms of teamwork, I think you're a nice team player.

Thank you.

- Thank you for your time. - Sure.

Excuse me now.

I wonder if I looked professional enough...

Tojo Suzume, 39 years old.

The other day, I got kissed on the forehead by one of my subordinates.

I don't deserve to be called a working adult, thinking about this on the day of the performance evaluation.

So is this how an office romance feels?

People of this world are really something to be able to pull it off.

T/N: He gave him an S rank for everything but initiative for ongoing projects (A rank) and for offering suggestions for improvement and being mindful of work efficiency (A rank).

"To hide an office romance."

Is my boyfriend not serious about me because he's hiding our office romance? Or is he just playing around?

1 answer / best answer:

Each person has their own reasons for hiding an office romance, but it's not necessarily true that hiding it equals playing around,

and being open about it doesn't equal being serious in the relationship.

But the fact that you're feeling anxious about it is very valid.

No, no, even if he's serious about you, he might still keep it a secret.

But there's also the chance he might be playing around...

I'm at a loss!

Excuse me.

Tojo-san.

Tojo-san!

Let's start.

Why are you here?

My evaluation meeting was scheduled for 3 o'clock, wasn't it?

Did I get the time wrong?

No, you got it right.

Definitely right.

Let's start then.

Please, sit.

Thank you.

Everything alright?

Yes.

So you're next. Give me a moment.

Okay.

10 things I want to do before I turn 40

Subtitles by sisca & nicksden

☑ Make the ultimate custom pillow

40 Made ni Shitai 10 no Koto

Raw + captions credit: p245

"Takoyaki party."

Oh? Are you looking back on the list?

"Visit Sea Paradise."

"Go crazy on the add-ons in a café."

"Change my fashion style."

Are we done with half of it already?

Make the ultimate custom pillow

We haven't done this one yet.

Sampling the department store cakes is... in progress.

What's left...

Spend a birthday with a lover

Kiss someone

Did that count as a kiss?

No, a forehead kiss doesn't count.

But a kiss is still a kiss...

Let's stop here for now.

I don't want you to think that is my intention.

If he said that, it means he's serious about me, right?

He wouldn't say it if he just wanted to play around, right?

Maybe I should get two new pillows instead?

What am I even thinking about?!

But now that I think about it...

I’d have no problem taking you to bed.

He never said whether he liked me or if we were dating.

I really have no clue after 10 years of not dating.

Is this what you call "love"?

No way!

No way!

We have a situation on our hands, Suzume-chan!

Whoa, so fancy!

Who knew furniture stores offered the option of custom pillows?

Uhm, not exactly.

Now's not the time to be thinking about getting a custom one. I don't even have any pillow right now.

What happened?

It reached its natural lifespan.

Its lifespan?

It broke.

- Your pillow? - Yeah.

Even pillows can break, huh?

I'm surprised too.

Oh, porcelain bowls!

Porcelain bowls?

Yeah. I ended up breaking one the other day.

Shall we have a look?

Yeah.

When things break, they really break all at once.

- I wonder why that is. - For real.

This looks lovely.

You're right.

They are lovely.

Alright, here's one for me as well.

For when I come over.

Oh, check this out.

These look nice too.

- So good. - Right?!

Let's get matching ones later.

Everything here is so nice.

Wow, they sell loads of stuff.

Suzume-san, over here.

Wouldn't this lamp be a perfect fit for your place?

- So pretty! - Right?

It'd add a nice accent to your large living room.

I've always wanted one of these.

I have poor eyesight, so I prefer brightly-lit rooms.

This is almost as if we came here to buy stuff for living together.

Wow, the shape is so cool.

Suzume-san?

Uhm... The pillow.

I came here for a pillow.

Let's see... Pillows...

You can find pillows on the second floor.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

I'll show you if you'd like.

- Would you be so kind? - Of course.

Please, this way.

This product feels very comfortable as it offers great support for your spine in this area.

If I had to recommend one, it'd be this one.

- I'll take that one. - Very well.

Hey! What's with the instant decision?

- Well... - It's expensive.

Well, it was her recommendation.

Shopping really isn’t your forte.

Since we're here, why not look around?

Excuse me. Could you show us some others?

Please, if you could look over here.

Yes.

This is a pillow designed for people who sleep on their side.

He's so serious about this, huh?

Oh, right.

Keishi has been serious right from the start.

He transferred to my department around three years ago.

This is Tanaka-kun who just transferred to our department.

- Please treat me kindly. - Nice to meet you.

But now there's two Tanakas here.

You're right. What shall we call him?

I'm the Tanaka.

Since I joined first.

- Shut it. - Got it.

You can just call me by my first name.

It's Keishi, not Keiji.

Oh, I see, Keishi-kun.

No need for honorifics.

Keishi then.

Yes.

I still lack a lot of experience, but I look forward to working with you.

- Let's work hard together. - Are you a bride moving in to your husband's family house?

- Shall we get started then? - Yes, please.

In spite of how he may seem, he's very polite.

- Thank you. - Here you go.

To play around...

No way...

He's not the type of person who'd do that.

Oh, dang. I could fall asleep in seconds with this one.

I thought I knew you quite well, but...

You should also test it out, Suzume-san.

Okay.

I've never once considered that you might be the same as me.

How does it feel?

Crazy good, right?

But...

Knowing him now, I can't...

Too good.

As expected, I only bought one.

A standing light...

I get it now.

Is the room too dark for him?

I wonder if it'll fit.

But I'm the same as him.

I haven't been able to say I like him either.

Suzume-chan.

If you keep overthinking, you won't be able to fall asleep.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Good morning. - Mornin'.

Tojo-san, will you join us for the drinking party that starts at six today?

We were going to celebrate Tanaka's success.

For landing us the new project.

Right. I'll be there.

Please do.

- Good morning! - Good morning!

Suzume-san has a habit of being overly considerate of others.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Good morning. - Morning.

You don't need to force yourself.

To go to the drinking party.

Why? I'm going.

He doesn't show me his true self either.

A step forward! Good job, me!

If things keep going this well, that Christmas Eve date is also in the bag.

There you go, thinking about that instead.

- He always does that. - I mean, it's been two years already for me!

Hey, Keishi.

Any tips on where to go for a Christmas date?

You okay?

Sorry. I'm totally fine.

- What were we talking about again? - Christmas Eve.

Oh, that reminds me. Your birthday is on Christmas Eve, right?

Yeah.

Having your birthday on Christmas is just too much to celebrate.

Your excitement for the date would be crazy.

No, I don't have anyone to share it with for the moment.

For the moment? How long has that moment lasted?

One or two years?

No...

Much longer than that?

We definitely need to get you on an app.

I'm borrowing your phone.

For this kind of stuff, good profile pics are quite crucial.

Hey...

You're going overboard.

It's fine. Don't worry about it.

I'm going to the bathroom.

See you later.

Are you alright, Suzume-san?

I'm okay. Perfectly fine.

You guys enjoy.

I'll go home first.

I'll go see him off.

- Please do. - Let's go.

- Don't forget this. - Thanks.

- Sorry to be a buzz-kill. - We're going now.

- Take care on your way home. - See you tomorrow.

"Suzume-san"?

Looks like we won't get a taxi around here.

Let's find somewhere to sit.

- Sorry for troubling you. - It's no problem.

Some water for you.

Thanks.

This is what happens when you push yourself too hard on barely any sleep.

No, I got some.

One look and I can tell you didn't get much sleep.

Was the pillow uncomfortable?

No...

We really should have made a custom pillow for you.

It's fine.

I quite like that one.

Do you really?

I do.

After all, it's the pillow we picked out together.

Well, then...

Why couldn't you get any sleep?

You know...

My heart would be racing like crazy.

Whenever I'm with you, my heart beats so fast. Like in this moment.

And even when I'm not with you.

I start to wonder what you're thinking about.

And that's all I can keep thinking about

and my heart races like crazy.

Even so...

You stepping in earlier made me happy.

For now, that's enough for me.

So this is...

...how he really feels.

Suzume-san.

You see...

Until you, I've only ever liked guys who were straight.

Everyone I've liked always preferred the company of women.

So that's why things ended before they could even begin.

As a result of that, I also went through a phase when I'd say yes to anyone,

but nothing ever lasted for long.

This...

...is my first time.

To do something like this with a person I care about.

That's why I decided I'd never do anything that'd make people at work find out abou--

He fell asleep...

I'm full now.

Keishi's taking his sweet time.

You're right. I'll send him a message.

I'll go settle the bill.

Okay, thank you!

- Udagawa-san... - Yeah?

Earlier, didn't Keishi call Tojo-san "Suzume-san"?

What? Did he really?

Yeah.

She's asking whether I'm coming back.

There are four items left on the list.

What will happen to us once we cross them all off?
