Miyabi, will you marry me?

Yes, of course.

Our wedding is coming up, but it's actually a business marriage.

Let's say today is the day I proposed to you.

Yeah, sure.

Let's get a photo of it.

Thanks to your posts with Mr. Donose, people love the Pierrette Series.

We're getting more contracts as we speak.

I'm so glad I could be of help.

By the way, what do you like about Tsukasa?

Tsukasa is the one who let me become "me".

If we fall in love, we divorce.

But I'm slowly falling for him.

Don't get too close to him. He's surprisingly sharp.

It's like you two are coworkers.

What's more, Tsukasa's childhood friend, Mitsumune,

a fellow executive, invited me outside and...

Want to choose me?

Huh?

How about me?

If you can fall in love with me,

I'll fall in love with you too.

Um...

Tsukasa is the one who let me become "me".

Why am I thinking about this during work?

So, did your heart flutter?

Huh?

Jeez, don't be silly.

Nice, I like that smile.

It's because I'm appalled.

Come on.

But I am really interested in you.

You're the one Tsukasa chose.

I want to chat more with you.

I see.

Both you and Tsukasa are so good at your jobs.

You two talk as if you're simulating the perfect husband and wife.

Oh no, how do I respond to that?

A contract marriage sounds amazing.

Did you think Tsukasa wouldn't tell me?

You knew?

Yeah.

So, I was right?

What?

It was all just a guess.

But I guess I was right.

What?!

What do I do?

No way. The secret's out?

[Business Marriage]

[Episode 5] A business marriage, huh?

That idea sounds just like him.

Um, could you please not tell him about this?

It's okay, I won't tell anyone.

Thank you.

More importantly, does that mean you're not interested in romance?

No, I wouldn't say that.

Right, we even talked about love.

Yes.

But you won't fall in love anymore?

Huh?

That's what this means, right?

You can't fall in love with each other. But you also can't have an affair.

That's true.

Are you okay with never falling in love again?

It's not like I haven't fallen in love.

I just can't share this feeling with him.

You can still back out, right?

The biggest advantage for you would be good work results, right?

Yeah, that would be...

You've already succeeded, so you could quit now.

Back out of the business marriage?

If you were with me,

we could say "I love you" without any restrictions.

You should rethink this.

Until now, I only thought about how to do this perfectly.

I never considered backing out as an option.

But marrying Tsukasa means I can never tell the person I love that I love him.

Well, let me know if you ever change your mind.

Thank you for walking me all the way home.

We had fun, right?

Let's hang out again.

Does he mean he wants to go on a date?

Oh, Tsukasa!

Welcome home.

You were with Shion?

Yeah, nice timing.

See you later, Mr. Mitsumune.

Where'd you go?

We just had a chat.

Curious?

Tsukasa?

Take good care of Miyabi.

Bye.

A contract marriage sounds amazing.

You knew?

So, I was right?

What?!

Mr. Mitsumune's so funny, contacting me out of nowhere.

Yeah, that's how he is.

Oh, I see.

What did you talk about?

Oh...

About love.

Love?

Like when he liked several girls, and it became a bloodbath,

or when he led a girl on and caused a disaster.

Oh, I do remember that.

And...

He said I'm not like your exes at all.

Mine?

He said I'm not your usual type.

Take good care of Miyabi.

Oh, now I get it.

Well, that might be true.

What's different? Our vibe?

Your priorities.

I'm not only focused on my work.

I've always valued love and friendships.

But when everything I value is on a scale,

I'll always prioritize work.

Is that...

because work is what set you free?

You're a good wife, understanding your husband like that.

In Tsukasa's life until now, there was all that with his family.

Of course he values his work.

"What's more important? Me or work?"

I actually get asked that.

But neither those girls nor I were in the wrong.

We just had different priorities.

But our priorities are in the same order, right?

Dating?

Well...

I'm honestly done with dating.

Work is my top priority. I don't need love anymore.

Right...

It's true that work is above all else to me.

But now, Tsukasa is just as important.

And love always has an expiration date.

Huh?

That's why a business marriage is the best.

We'll last longer if we don't fall in love.

That's true...

Right, I can't let myself forget that.

Work is his top priority.

Tsukasa chose our business marriage because I'm the same as him.

That's different from love.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Mr. Mitsumune said love and work are equally important.

I was thinking about how he's not like us.

She's talking about Shion again.

What is this? I'm jealous of Shion?

I'll put away our cups.

Yeah, thanks.

Miyabi.

Tsukasa, what's...

Wait...

Huh? Tsukasa?

Tsukasa's acting differently.

I left a mark.

Huh?

Sorry, I got carried away.

Tsukasa, did something happen?

No, not really.

Mr. Mitsumune and I aren't a thing.

You don't have to worry about that.

I see.

Okay.

Is he jealous?

I know it's not possible,

but if Tsukasa fell in love with me...

Never mind.

I'll tell the sales team. Meeting next week?

- Yeah, thanks. - Sure.

Also, Shion...

- Thanks for the wedding help. - It's nothing.

Miyabi and I will decide on the rest on our own.

Okay, got it.

But I'll still help out as a friend.

It's fun hanging out with Miyabi.

Bye then.

A witness for your marriage certificate?

It's my pleasure.

Thank you.

I really wanted you to do it.

You're finally getting married?

I'm happy for you. You look so happy.

Oh, really?

Yes. You're so beautiful. You look like you're shining.

I'm sure you'll have your own share of trouble,

but a couple who can be thankful for their daily happiness will be blessed.

Can we find happiness too?

Of course. You two respect each other, right?

Respect...

So you'll be fine.

Thank you.

Even if he doesn't love me,

we can find happiness.

Oh. Tsukasa!

Who is that?

Miyabi.

Welcome home.

Oh, this is Deputy CEO Ushio.

Sorry to bother you. I'm Ushio Odajima from Lebut.

Sorry, I just had to meet you, Miyabi.

Nice to meet you. I'm Miyabi Sayama.

Ushio... Where have I heard that name?

We have another founding member named Ushio.

Let's hang out without Tsukasa.

Everyone around Tsukasa shines so bright.

You never take no for an answer.

It's because you got engaged without ever introducing us.

Yeah, yeah.

Let's go in.

She was meant to be abroad until fall, but suddenly had to come back.

It was so sudden, it was chaos.

That must've been rough.

These two have exactly the same taste.

She insisted on meeting you, and finished her work trip in a hurry.

Today was perfect timing for me.

I thought he told you beforehand though.

It was too sudden.

He's not very talkative sometimes.

You've had enough. You drank with some clients, right?

How did you know?

There's no way a perfectionist like you wouldn't notice the trash in your hair.

Is that what that was?

It just happened to stick to me in the taxi.

It wasn't there when I was with the clients.

You sure?

Don't worry, I did my job perfectly.

She's touching him!

Is she always like this with him?

Miyabi, are you drinking?

Yes, thank you, I am.

Why did she want to meet me so badly?

Could it be that she's here to examine me?

Drunk already?

I wanted to hear the results of your work trip.

Who do you think I am?

I can still talk about work over drinks.

Yeah, sure.

Tsukasa looks so relaxed.

I sent you the files this morning.

Yeah, but wasn't it lacking resources?

About that, I spoke with the leader, Jessie, and adjusted the schedule,

but we might need to push the deadline.

Did you tell Shion?

- Could it be... - I'll do it tomorrow.

No, do it today.

...that Ms. Ushio is Tsukasa's ex-girlfriend or something?

Stop it!

If you do that so suddenly, you'll scare me and make my heart jump.

I like Tsukasa.

A business marriage is fine.

Are you bothered by Tsukasa and Ushio's relationship?

If we get married, it means we won't fall in love.

Can I get permission to kiss you?

Happy birthday!

Thank you for being born.

My feelings for Miyabi...
