[Divorce Request]

Divorce papers?

On the spur of the moment, I just...

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Love Under Contract Team @Viki.com

O-Oh...

No reaction?

Now that I kissed him,

I can't keep hidden these feelings anymore.

I've decided.

I'm going to confess to him.

Momose-san?

Can you get up?

Yes.

Good morning.

About that kiss yesterday...

Yes?

I'm sorry for doing it so abruptly.

I did it because I...

Because I... love you.

Yes. I realized that.

I feel the same about you.

Momose-san?

That would be nice, but...

Momose-san? Please wake up.

I'm coming in.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

So... about yesterday...

I want to talk about it, too.

Have a seat.

- Wh-Wh— - Akiha-san.

Right now, there are a lot of things that I don't know.

I hadn't realized your feelings at all.

I didn't realize

you wanted to get divorced that badly.

What? Wh-What?

So... Divorce?

Our conversation got cut short yesterday, so I wanted to finish it.

As promised, when you finish paying the debt, this fake marriage will be dissolved.

The money from yesterday,

please transfer it to this account.

[0 yen]

I've already signed and stamped it so you can fill in your part.

I don't want to get divorced!

But it's clear that other people...

might think our divorce is too sudden

if there were no warning signs beforehand.

But our marriage was too sudden...

So for two months, we will orchestrate some discord...

so we can use that as a reason for divorce. What do you think?

Orchestrate discord?

For instance...

taking off our wedding rings.

Our rings?

Then we could start complaining to other people about our marriage.

Then finally we'd move to a stage where we don't speak or look at one another.

[Divorce Papers]

Please take yours off, too, Akiha-san.

- What? - Please stay here for two more months.

- Momose! Hey! - What?

- What's going on? - We got it!

The regional revitalization project our team worked on last year!

It was chosen as a Program of Excellence by the Japan Tourism Agency!

- That's good. - Hey! Don't react like it's someone else's business!

By happier! My Momose-chan!

- B-Boss! - I'm sorry!

I got too excited!

It's all over! Everyone's been so strict about harassment lately...

Even my wife screamed, "Sexual harassment!" When I tried to kiss her. My own wife!

It's depressing being told your kisses are sexual harassment!

- So... - Yes?

Can a kiss be considered sexual harassment in a marriage?

After all, sexual harassment is about the other person's feelings, not yours.

Could that cause a divorce?

Hey, hold on there! Don't throw that bad luck on me, quit it!

So if Akiha-san wanted a divorce and I kissed her,

she would think that was harassment?

So Akiha-san did the same thing as payback for the harassment.

- But... - What's wrong?

I didn't really feel anything unpleasant when she kissed me.

Momose-san, I wanted to ask you something. Do you have time now?

Yes.

Hasumi City Tourism Campaign?

I was put in charge of the project.

I'm collaborating with a popular influencer and doing monthly livestreams.

I see...

But I have to go to Fukuoka for another project this month,

and it might take a while.

So you're looking for a substitute until you get back?

I know you're probably busy, but...

I'll do it. Just this month, right?

Thank you so much!

I will set up a meeting with the influencer today!

Okay.

Yes.

A month after next?

Yes. We will have a few stalls at the event, and I will need some help.

A month after next, right?

I might be divorced by then...

Well, let me know if you can make it.

- I will. - Okay.

If you're free otherwise, stop by with Shu-kun, and let's all have dinner together.

Okay!

He told me to orchestrate marital discord...

Miharu-san, actually...

What?

Actually, it's nothing.

Did you guys have a fight?

It's all fine now.

Akiha-chan...

Are you telling Shu-kun what you really think?

I know Asahi-kun and I have had our own problems,

but Shu-kun can be especially thickheaded.

He will never understand how you feel unless you tell him.

How I feel...

That's true, isn't it?

Kana-san, we're sorry to keep you waiting.

This is my boss, Momose, who will be taking over.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Momose.

This is Nogami Kana, the person I told you about before.

I'm Nogami Kana. It's nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

[Only Just Married]

As part of Hasumi City PR, we were thinking of having [Episode 7]

a popular influencer like Kana-san post about recommended locations and restaurants.

Kana-san is really good at cooking,

so we thought it'd be fun if she makes recipes using local foods.

Momose-san?

Momose-san!

- What? - Are you listening?

Is there something on my face?

Excuse me for asking, but

- how old are you, Kana-san? - What?

I'm thirty-two.

- Momose-san? - Blood type?

And where are you from? Do you have a younger sister?

Momose-san! Kana-san is beautiful, but you're being rude.

I'm blood type O. I'm from Kumamoto.

I have one older brother and no sisters.

I see...

I'm sorry. You look so much like my relative that I forgot myself.

Wh-What were we talking about?

- Recipes with local foods. - L-Local foods...

I made some examples.

- What do you think? - Thank you so much!

This is amazing!

- There is more here. - They look delicious!

- Thank you for today. - Thank you for coming.

- Well, if you'll excuse me. - Goodbye.

His sister-in-law?

That can't be...

That woman really resembles your sister-in-law, right?

I almost thought it was the real one.

Did you take off your ring because you were going to see that woman?

What?

You always wore your wedding ring before.

That's not it.

Or maybe it's because you're going to end your fake marriage...

Did she pay off her debt?

Or did you give up on your fruitless love for your sister-in-law?

I have another meeting. Excuse me.

Cold as ever.

Momose-san isn't single, is he?

[Thursday 11, November]

You can have this if you want.

Thank you.

Please take yours off, too, Akiha-san.

Okado, your husband is here.

Momose?

Why is Miharu-san here, too?

I look just like her, don't I?

Momose-san's relative.

I was shocked at first, too.

This is Kana-san, an influencer I'm working with.

We'll be making a leaflet for Hasumi City under Kana-san's supervision.

Are you his wife?

Your husband has been such a big help.

Yes.

- Sorry for the wait, Momose-kun. You can go to the meeting room. - Okay.

- Tamura? - Yes! - Let's go.

Okay.

You have a wonderful husband.

- Thank you for coming. - Oh!

Is Ayano-chan the designer?

- Yes. He specifically asked for a designer that wasn't you. - What?

Did something happen? You can always talk to me about it.

Is he orchestrating discord?

[I found a cute cafe and a cute cake where I had a photoshoot. #KanaInstagram]

Is this the real Miharu-san?

Here, have these.

- I bought too many. - Thank you!

The new guy working at the bakery nearby looks just like Ryuji-kun.

It's way more than just a look-alike!

Welcome.

His bewitching eyes...

The beautiful bridge of his nose...

I even mistook the way he handled bread with gorgeous dancing!

I'm sure that's the real Ryuji-kun!

But he isn't the real one, right?

I know that!

Isn't it better this way? He is the generic version.

- The generic version? - But he's a part-timer at the bakery, right?

If you approach him with the sex appeal of an adult, things could develop into real love...

and possibly marriage.

- Marriage? - Oh?

Me? And Sato Ryuji-kun?

- He's just a look-alike. - The generic version is enough for me!

- How often are you going to go there, anyway? - Every day.

Every day?

The generic version...

[#AWonderfulMeeting]

She's talking about Momose-san with "a wonderful meeting," right?

Is she insinuating something?

By saying they're sampling food, she's indirectly showing how close they are.

And if she did it to get attention, that's rough.

With all this sparkly and popular stuff, everyone feels the same.

It feels like society dreams of becoming "number one" or the "only one."

When you think about it, in love or work...

it's nice when you have something you have to do by yourself.

Hey, Aki...

If she knew she looked like Momose-san's sweetheart,

you'd be in trouble, right?

- In trouble? - I mean...

She looks just like your sister-in-law, right? And she's good at cooking too.

With all this food sampling, she'll steal Momose-san away through his stomach.

- But I can cook, too— - Don't say, "When I feel like it."

I know that.

But now that I'm thinking about it, Momose-san and I have never shared a meal.

You already lost!

If she finds out your marriage is fake, she is bound to one-up you.

Well, you're getting divorced soon, either way.

I told you, I don't intend on getting a divorce.

But Momose-san does intend to, right?

I...

I'm going to tell Momose-san how I feel.

What?

It's not about how things might end up with us.

It turns out I can't have a fruitless love, after all.

So I'll tell Momose-san that I love him

because I want closure for myself.

No reaction?

Say something.

- This is weird. - Weird?

I got really sad...

What?

Because I heard your plan to confess to him?

Am I that serious about you?

There you go saying that stuff again! I'm being serious here!

- Look over here. - Okay.

Look down now. Good.

Last one now! Okay!

- And one extra. Okay! - Thank you very much!

- We will change the set, so please wait over there. - Thank you.

- Changing now! - Oh, I was so nervous! Thank you!

Photoshoots are the real deal when you agency guys get involved.

This is the leaflet for government offices, after all.

- Do I really look that much like your sister-in-law? - What?

That's why you always stare at me, right?

Have I... told you about my sister-in-law?

Actually, I happened to overhear you talking in the office.

That woman really resembles your sister-in-law, right? I almost thought she was the real one.

How long were you listening?

Only that part. I really overheard it by accident.

I'm sorry.

I see.

But if I didn't know that,

I might have misunderstood.

I thought you stared at me so much because you liked me.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made a client think that way.

- I'll be more careful— - It's fine!

But if I had misunderstood, would it have bothered you?

What?

- You're up, Kana-san! - Okay!

[#ThankYouStaff, #LooksAreImportant, #CantResistThatType]

- What are you doing? - N-Nothing.

Kosugi, can I talk to you?

[I made a gratin! Anyone can do it easily, so give it a try!]

Is Okado wearing her wedding ring?

Okado's wedding ring?

Yes. I couldn't see it because of her phone. Was she wearing it?

I don't look at stuff like that.

Has Okado told you anything? About problems at home?

No, why?

When Momose-kun came here the other day

I was curious because he wasn't wearing his wedding ring.

- Is that it? - Yes.

I have problems like that, too, you know!

If you're worried about Okado's family life, worry about my marriage hunting!

Lately, I felt so rejected... My mental health is in the gutters!

All I want is to be happy!

Then let's go for drinks soon.

Sorry, I'm busy with work now.

I was curious because he wasn't wearing his wedding ring.

- Here you go. - How was it?

No book talk now. How have things been with Akiha-chan?

- Akiha-san? - Yes.

I spoke to Akiha-chan on the phone the other day. She seemed down.

If you don't treasure her properly,

you'll never find another wife as good as her.

A good wife?

Shu-kun...

Akiha-chan is the one for you. I know it.

My White Asparagus Brother!

Makihara-kun?

I heard you're divorcing Aki.

Has Aki said anything to you since then?

Like what?

So she hasn't told you yet...

Did Akiha-san say anything about the divorce?

Not really.

If Akiha-san spoke to you about the divorce

could you tell me what she said?

Why should I have to tell you that?

If you're going to divorce, get it over with.

Go back to being strangers.

That would make it easier for me to make a move.

Later.

[Shu & Akiha Momose]

[Creamy Shrimp and Broccoli Gratin]

Oh! I'm sorry for just leaving that there.

Cooking?

Kana-san's social media made me want to make something occasionally.

Not that I can make as elaborate dishes as hers, though.

At any rate, Kana-san looks exactly like Miharu-san, doesn't she?

I was shocked. She's even as good at cooking as her too.

Well... Akiha-san?

Yes?

If you're going to make a gratin, could I have some too?

Would you eat some?

If you don't mind.

Of course, I don't!

Then I'll make it.

When should I do it?

How is next Monday?

I'm working late on Monday.

Tuesday, then?

Tuesday is good for me.

Next Tuesday, then.

I'll write it here.

Don't forget to eat here that day, okay?

I'll come on an empty stomach.

Okay.

[16 (Tue) Eating out is forbidden!!]

We're already here!

- Go up to him! - I can't!

- I can't! - Go talk to him!

- I'm so sorry ! - Oh!

The girl that always buys tons of bread!

I can't believe you're even aware of someone like me...

Why are you talking like that?

Hey.

Hi.

Here.

You could have mailed it to me.

Are all the formalities done on your end?

Yes. It wasn't as much as I expected.

I have so many changing procedures to go through.

I'm changing my surname again. Women are always saddled with these annoyances.

For marriage and divorce, would it be better if men carried more of the load?

A hot coffee, please.

So that is what it was about...

I'm sorry for asking you to meet me on your day off.

Not at all. Thanks for meeting me so close to my house.

I always wanted to come to this cafe.

But I've made a mistake...

About what?

I wanted you to try this cake I made with grapes and non-alcoholic wine,

but I made an oversight in setting the meeting at a restaurant...

You can't really eat your own food here, can you?

Well, if you want...

What a lovely home!

The kitchen is so beautiful and has so much room!

Do you have a garden too?

You could certainly live easily here!

I envy your wife.

What is your brother's wife like?

What?

We look alike, right?

I've been wondering about her personality.

She likes books.

She is good at cooking.

She always brightens her surroundings.

Her smile is like a sunflower.

Well, your brother must be happy, right?

But in my opinion, people are happier when love doesn't equal marriage.

The ideal relationship works toward building a comfortable life for one another.

That sort of marriage would be ideal for me.

Is that weird?

No.

I think that is the ideal marriage partnership, too.

I see.

What a shame!

What a shame?

Don't you think we would be a good married couple?

Beats me.

[16 (Tue) Eating out is forbidden!!]

- I'm home. - Welcome home.

Kana-san?

She wanted to meet up to try the cake, so I showed her in.

I'm sorry for intruding while you were out.

I see.

I'll walk you to the station.

I think I'm a better fit for this than you.

Why don't you give me your position here?

It's a fake marriage, right?

Did Momose-san tell you that?

You could say I'm looking for a parasite host.

And his income is stable, working for Shudendo.

"My husband works at an AD agency." It sounds nice, doesn't it?

If he doesn't love you, he can change wives as much as he wants, right?

It's not like you're special.

Sorry for intruding.

That woman isn't like Miharu-san at all.

That's right! Could I announce today's cake on my next livestream?

I think it could be good publicity.

That should be fine.

But before that, I want to clear up the issues from today.

Momose-san, could you do one more tasting for me?

Of course.

Thank you.

Let's do it Tuesday night.

Tuesday night?

I'm going live on Wednesday.

Do you have plans?

Yes. On Tuesday...

But I've already posted my livestream schedule...

Could you postpone your plans?

I'm sorry.

I could make Tuesday at noon.

Okay.

Tuesday at noon, then!

[Shrimp, broccoli, macaroni, onion, milk, cheese]

Sorry, I'm heading out for the day!

Isn't it a little early?

I have to go somewhere.

- Good work today! - Good work today!

- Good work today! - Good work today!

How is it?

- It's good. - Really?

- By the way... - Yes?

You might want to add a new component to this.

A new component?

Let's see...

There are the dishes I made in the past.

Oh! Sorry, Boss?

Could you call my phone?

- Did you lose it? - I can't find it.

One moment.

Hello? This is...

Sorry.

Hello? Is this Kana-san?

Momose-san?

I'm sorry! I took your cell phone by mistake!

[Yokoo Studio: Kitchen Space]

Oh, Momose-san! I'm sorry for making you come out here.

Here's your phone.

What happened to your hand?

A plate broke when I was cooking.

Are you okay? Do you need a doctor?

The injury isn't that serious!

But I won't be able to finish preparing for tomorrow's stream in time.

I couldn't wrap it well with my non-dominant hand.

Thank you.

It's fine.

Why don't you postpone tomorrow's livestream?

My followers have been eagerly waiting for it...

and I already announced it...

I just had a little more to do, too...

What do I do now?

I'm sorry.

It's hopeless, whether or not I complain to you.

What else do you have to do?

I can do anything I set my mind to!

I bet it's Momose-san.

Hello, it's Akiha.

Something urgent came up.

I don't think it'll take too long, but I might be a little late.

That's fine.

I was cutting it close with cooking anyway, so I'm glad.

Good luck with work.

Thank you.

All right!

[#Delivery is Wednesday #Pinch is a chance? #Reassuring ally #TeamKana]

[Is this the guy paying your salary? Something's fishy, So annoying. What an attention seeker]

[Are you okay, Kana?]

[You need people's approval too much]

Are you this nice to everyone?

Or is it because I look like her?

The woman you love.

I'm sorry.

When you were talking to that receptionist...

I actually heard everything.

Honestly, I was surprised about the fake marriage...

but if it's fake, wouldn't anyone do?

Couldn't you replace her?

What do you mean?

Why not me?

Could I replace your wife?

I think I could be the ideal partner for you, Momose-san.

Replace Akiha-san?

You promised to eat dinner with your wife today, right?

- You knew that and still⁠... - That's right! I mean...

If it's fake, wouldn't it be annoying if she started having feelings for you?

You can have a more clearly divided relationship with me.

I shouldn't bake it yet, right?

Momose-san went to Kana's place.

In the end, Momose-san went for the generic version.

Wait, that's not true.

The only one Momose-san loves is Miharu-san.

There's no way those feelings would change.

Miharu opened up my world.

I will continue to watch over Miharu from a distance...

so I can always see her smile.

I love

Miharu.

This means...

he will never look at me that way, either.

It's not annoying.

I brush my teeth with

Akiha-san every morning.

We eat rice cakes together.

We cheer together with beer after work.

Living our lives together like that...

is really fun.

So it's not annoying.

And

no matter how much you look like the woman I love...

that doesn't matter to me.

I can't have a fake marriage with you, Kana-san.

I see...

I'm sorry.

You're right.

It's fine. I understand.

If I can replace someone else, it doesn't have to be me, right?

It's like that on social media, too.

I was so happy when I heard about the tourism PR project.

But I'm not special, anyone else can do it.

There are a lot of influencers out there who can cook a little.

Do you know what they say about me in the comments?

"The only thing you're good at is using cutlery."

"You reuse the same ingredients."

"The only thing you work hard at is arranging the food."

They're all like that.

One day I'll be replaced and just disappear.

I know that,

so I've been looking for some place I can latch onto like a parasite.

I thought those were compliments.

- What? - Well...

Reusing ingredients means you can rearrange them

and create variations of a dish, which is a good cost value.

And even if your menu is ordinary, if you figure out the cutlery,

you can make things look high class, right?

I thought those were your assets.

Was I wrong?

My assets?

You're irreplaceable to this project.

I don't want to replace you,

I want to work with you.

Please leave already.

You're already late for your dinner with your wife.

Please let me help you until it's finished.

I'm home.

Please warm it up and eat it.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Love Under Contract Team @Viki.com

I'm sorry.

After you went through the trouble of making dinner...

Just leave the gratin there if you don't want it.

I'll put it away later.

It's my own fault I got excited.

My own fault I had hope.

It's a fake marriage,

and we're divorcing in two months, after all.

Well...

If I speak freely...

will you listen?

Actually...

I went to Kana-san's place.

I forgot my phone with Kana-san.

When I went to get it, she had injured her hand.

I'm really sorry

for missing dinner.

Kana-san...

knew about my fruitless love for Miharu...

and about our fake marriage.

Kana asked me

if she could take your place.

And I realized

after she asked me that...

I...

don't want anyone but you, Akiha-san.

It's true that, to hide my feelings for Miharu,

at first, I was looking for anyone to be my fake marriage partner.

But

as we've been living together...

I don't really understand it myself, but...

I want to live with you, Akiha-san.

I started feeling like that before I knew it.

♫ I'm laughing all the time ♫

I'm sorry.

For being late and being selfish.

♫ You are not warm enough to withstand the cold ♫

That's all I wanted to say.

♫ I can hug you ♫

♫ I've never been in love ♫

♫ I want you ♫

Momose-san!

Well...

I'll speak freely too, so please listen.

Okay.

So...

I...

♫ That's why I think of you even today ♫

I...

love you, Momose-san.

♫ I can warm you up ♫

I don't want to get divorced.

♫ My love is not confident at all ♫

♫ But, there is no lie in these eyes ♫

Thank you.

Me, too.

Akiha-san...

Please stay with me.

Sure!

[To be continued]

- I'm heading out. - Have a good day!

I've never been happier!

We will carry on as a fake couple, right? [The fake wife runs away?!]

That would be too hard for me!

Would you let me stay here? [Love? Friendship? The fake husband's true feelings]

Please tell me how Akiha-san feels.

Open your eyes, already!

Cherish every moment spent together.

- Akiha-san! - Momose?
