Original subtitles

- Good morning. - Morning.

Good morning...

Why do you look so tired?

Well...

I couldn't get any sleep last night.

Want to try it?

You can say no.

Oh no, I just let out a weird noise.

I shouldn't let him do this.

I'll take the sofa tonight.

Huh?

Miyabi, I think you'll fall in love with me.

There's no way I'd fall in love with you!

Your new life just started. No wonder you have stuff on your mind.

I'm here for you.

Ms. Kokonoe, thank you.

I really want her advice, but how do I explain this situation?

Using the same bed is fine. We'll have sex eventually, right?

Um, do you sleep with your husband?

What?

Oh, not like that.

I meant the same bed.

Sorry for asking something so personal.

It's fine.

We married ten years ago and always used separate beds,

but in the same room.

He wanted to sleep together, but I couldn't sleep well.

I see.

When I told him after we got married, he looked so hurt.

But he understood once I explained it.

Communication is key, you know.

Communication...

That's true.

Yeah.

- Good luck. - Yes, thank you.

I control whether it goes well or not.

I have a 50-50 chance of winning.

But I have to try.

I'm Miyabi Sayama, a real estate agent.

He's Tsukasa Donose, an elite man who everyone envies.

- Are you from Celeste Real Estate? - Yes.

Hello, I'm Tsukasa Donose.

What did you say, Mr. Donose?

I asked you to live with me.

Would you be open to marrying me...

as a business partner?

We decided to act as if it was love at first sight.

I did it to advertise our new apartment complex,

while Mr. Donose needed to simply get married.

So, a business marriage.

It's a deal, Ms. Miyabi Sayama.

We're really getting married, huh?

If any romantic feelings form, I want to end this relationship.

No need for personal feelings.

Thus, love will lead to divorce.

Want to try it?

But Mr. Donose claims that he can have sex without any romantic feelings.

You might fall in love with me at this rate.

I'd never fall in love with you!

Will things really go well like this?

[Business Marriage]

[The Bedroom Problem by Miyabi Sayama]

[Episode 2] Miyabi, what is this?

An agenda for talking about our future.

Okay, right this way.

You're so eager.

Of course.

Now, let's begin.

Please take a look at page one.

You're already known in the media, and popular with young women from ages 20 to 34.

So, now that we're the poster couple of these apartments,

I knew I had to reach a high standard as your partner.

[Roles to fulfill as a wife: Looks, Behavior, Language, Lifestyle] Not only with personal grooming,

but my behavior, language, and overall lifestyle.

Now I'd like to share with you

our current situation and what needs to be improved.

Please turn to the next page.

For our married life,

I had decided to perfectly fill the role of being your wife.

But the role I imagined was only an outward appearance for how society sees us.

But it didn't include our daily lives.

That's why I reacted the way I did last time.

Last time?

I'll take the sofa tonight.

That's why I was definitely not falling in love with you!

Oh, really?

Yes.

I understand that your proposal is appropriate for avoiding various sorts of trouble.

However, as for what married couples do at night...

I can't accept that for now.

Of course, with this business marriage contract, you may also have your own thoughts, but...

I see.

You said, for now, right?

Yes.

I don't know you very well yet.

Until we build a bit more trust as a couple.

At the very least...

You need time, right?

Okay, then.

How about a kiss?

Kissing is also a bit...

Is it your first time?

N-N-No!

Kissing is normal for any married couple.

Well, that's true.

Then... I'll accept that.

I got the gist.

And this was a great presentation.

Thank you.

I bet these slides took a while.

No, not at all!

After thinking about how to trick you...

Or I mean, how to convince you, it wrote itself.

I can't wait to see how you trick me.

I'll go wash up now.

Okay.

First, tell him how I feel.

We can take it step by step from here.

What?

Huh?

Can't we?

Hold on!

No, we talked about getting to know each other today...

Ouch...

Oh, it was a dream?

Jeez, I'm all up in my head.

[Day 1]

[Day 2]

[Day 3]

[Day 4]

[Day 5]

[Day 6]

It's so tight.

Mr. Donose, please wake up.

No, this is wrong.

We've lived together for a week.

We're somehow getting through each day.

He asked me so suddenly.

He calls it business, but could it be...

that he likes me?

Kissing's okay, right?

No way. He just...

Our act won't work if we can't even do this.

Well, that's...

Since you need time, how about we make our morning kiss a routine?

If it's for our business marriage.

Okay, let's do it then.

Whether he likes me or not, he's having fun seeing my reactions.

Oh no, my meeting.

Sorry for the wait.

Thank you for coming.

I appreciate your time today.

No, thank you also for taking care of Miyabi.

Please sit.

His business mode is impressive.

He's a totally different guy.

For your social media, to make sure your apartment can't be singled out,

we'd like to start early.

Right. We need to post frequently too.

Should we also time our posts with the morning rush hour?

Just a suggestion.

How about this kind of photo?

I'll reveal my face and name, but Miyabi is an employee.

She'll keep working even after we start posting,

so we'll hide her face or wait until later.

I see.

Also, instead of making everything public,

having some anonymity will draw interest and attention.

Everyone likes a bit of mystery.

That's a wonderful idea.

How about we reveal her face when we officially get married?

I like that.

Until then, we can take photos from the back or below the neck.

We'll hide her face.

Thank you so much for thinking of an idea to protect Ms. Sayama.

Of course.

That's right.

Mr. Donose is thinking of me.

And...

I was thinking of running the account like so.

He put in so much effort.

He's so busy every day, yet he did this for my work.

I really respect this side of him.

I'm glad.

You and Mr. Donose are doing way better than I thought.

Huh? You think so?

Yeah. It felt like you were able to really relax today.

Well, that's...

Wake up!

I see him at home, so I don't feel so reserved around him anymore.

I can tell Mr. Donose trusts you too.

And you looked relaxed.

He doesn't just trust you as a partner, but as a person.

Having a person like that near you is the best, isn't it?

Thank you.

Ms. Kokonoe seems talented.

She thinks fast, acts flexibly, and is easy to talk to.

She is.

I look up to her. I want to be like her one day.

I bet you can.

It's possible if it's you.

He doesn't just trust you as a partner, but as a person.

Having a person like that near you is the best, isn't it?

Really?

Mr. Donose's work was perfect.

And he really thinks about me.

Miyabi is an employee...

So we'll hide her face or wait until later.

I need to be professional, now that I've started this business marriage.

Yes, I need to act properly as his wife.

Mr. Donose.

I want to talk about our marriage contract.

What is it?

Well...

It's about acting as a couple.

I gave it a lot of thought, and...

I'd like to consider your proposal.

So, that means... you'll have sex with me?

Yes.

I understand you a lot better now.

Some time has passed, and we've built more trust now as a couple...

What's so funny?

Sorry.

I'm being serious here.

Jeez, don't laugh.

I mean, you're talking so seriously about sex.

What is it?

I'm surprised you can laugh normally.

Seriously?

Oh, forget I said that.

So...

When can we enact that clause?

Well...

Oh, a sign. I'll give you a sign.

Please wait until then.

A sign, huh?

When that happens...

This is the sign.

I'll be waiting.

Okay.

What is it?

How's tonight?

Well...

A sign? Tonight?

How's tonight?

Does that mean he wants to do it today?

Giving the sign is my job.

So, I can probably say no.

But I don't think I'll say yes unless something makes me do it.

Miyabi, you're awake, right?

Yes.

But honestly, I'm still not ready.

I haven't given you the sign yet!

It's okay to choose what you like sometimes.

Ever since I met her, I knew it was fate.

I'm disappointed in you.

I want you to try more.

People will see through our business marriage at this rate.

Even if this is a business marriage...

What do I really like?

Can I kiss you then?

You can.

How about right now?

What?
