What should we eat?

Let's eat something delicious.

- Then we will. - Really?

Good morning.

Oh, good morning.

Mr. Kurosawa, we have an announcement to make.

- We're going out with each other now. - What?

I mean, younger is better, both in terms of stamina and my own future.

Besides, you're in your thirties, sir.

But you both work in the same department...

We promise not to let our relationship affect the workplace.

Is this your way of giving us a warning, as our boss?

Or better yet, are you jealous?

- He might be jealous. - You're being ridiculous.

Anyway, thank you for sending us on a trip as a couple.

- I didn't arrange the business trip for that sort of reason... - See you around, sir!

I meant... Hey, wait...

Wait!

What am I even dreaming about...

[The Reason We Fall in Love]

This is my first business trip, but it seems like easy work.

Where does that confidence of yours come from?

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

You're both early today.

We're squeezing in our prep work before we go.

We'll be heading out on a bullet train leaving at 11AM.

Alright. I'll make sure to have my phone on hand all day.

If anything happens, call.

Thank you, sir.

But I promise we'll manage.

We wish to see this through ourselves.

Is that so.

Alright.

Thank you.

- I'll place this here then. - Please do.

And this goes...

Hey, I told you this file goes here.

Right, sorry.

- There. - Come on now...

- I'll hold these bags then? - Sure.

Ms. Aoi.

- Should we bring some extras of these? - Sounds good.

Let's bring several, just in case.

Why am I so terrified of being honest with myself?

Is it because it would rock our workplace dynamic?

Is it a matter of upholding my pride?

Or is it the fact our relationship would fundamentally change?

Please get our clients to approve of these documents.

Yes, ma'am.

And one more thing.

Here, for you.

As thanks for the other day.

When I was on my period?

Please don't push yourself.

No need to feel self conscious.

I'm the only one around.

Thanks, really.

- Can I really have these? - Of course. You saved me back there.

Thank you.

I'll be sure to savor them.

Don't, they're nothing special.

No, I will. Thank you so much.

What're those? Looks delicious.

Give me one.

No.

And what about your "no snacking" rule, Mr. Oshima?

I know, but those look tasty.

A no is a no.

- Make do with this. - No, I want this one.

- These cookies are off-limits. - Why?

- Just because. - You have a whole can.

- Still no. - But...

- No. - Just one morsel?

Here, a morsel.

You look tired.

More like I'm nervous.

This business trip has been eating away at me.

The one with your junior?

I have to be perfect, and that has my stomach in knots.

Poor girl...

- I'll do my best. - Good luck.

Wait, did you have plans tonight?

- Can you tell? - Yeah.

I mentioned it previously.

I'm going shopping with Mr. Oshima for exercise equipment.

He'll pick out my gym fit, and then we'll grab a bite together, and then...

I'm so nervous!

Sounds exciting.

So? How's it going on your end, Aoi?

Huh?

The thing with Mr. Kurosawa. Weren't you two making progress?

I lent an ear to her troubles.

That's the bare minimum any boss would do.

Nothing is happening between us.

Not really.

He was only acting as any nice boss would.

Seems like he never considered me a romantic prospect at all.

What? How?

You two held hands...

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.

We only held hands, because we got caught up in the moment.

We were drunk, so it was... like an accident.

Either way, I was the only one jumping to conclusions.

You think?

You should ask -

No, it's okay. I've given up already anyway.

What I should focus on now

is proving to be of use to Mr. Kurosawa here, at the office.

Shouldn't you both be heading out soon?

Yes. I'm just waiting for Ms. Aoi to return from the restroom.

I see.

I'm counting on you, Itami.

For what?

Huh?

Are you counting on me to secure this contract?

Or with Ms. Aoi?

What are you talking about?

No need to worry, I'll take great care of Ms. Aoi.

Do your part, and support your mentor through this.

Thanks for waiting. Ready to go?

Yes, ma'am.

See you later, sir.

Good luck. And take care.

Yes, sir.

- We'll be off. - Good luck.

- See you all after the trip. - See you.

- I'll catch up. - Sure. See you around.

See you.

Here, I'll help.

It's fine, I can handle this.

Yes, ma'am?

Your tie.

A little more like...

That?

It's crooked.

Sorry.

There, perfect.

Thank you.

What?

No, nothing. Thank you.

You're repeating yourself.

Thank you.

And that's a third.

Did we do something, sir?

No, nothing at all.

Were you staring at us?

What? No.

Please focus on your own work, sir.

Or else you'll be suspended like Mr. Kinoshita.

I was not staring.

- He totally is. - Terrifying.

- Look, he's staring. - I am not.

I swear, I am not.

R-Right...

Slacking off?

What's with the face?

Nothing.

You know, earlier I ended up having to fix my junior's tie.

It made me feel like such a mom.

Hey.

What?

Thinking of a certain someone?

Morita, was it?

Don't tell me you're still hung up over your ex from five years ago.

Of course not.

Kurosawa, you have a bad habit of deciding things won't work out.

And you sort of shut your partner out when it gets to that.

Sure, it might look like you're being considerate of the other.

But you're really just scared of stepping into someone's life, right?

What are you trying to protect?

You're only reliving your mistakes.

- Hey. - If you want a repeat of five years ago, be my guest.

But other people have eyes on a cutie like her.

I know that already.

There you are. Ichikawa, my junior wants to discuss design work.

- Got a minute? - Sure.

Hey, Tomonari. How's it going?

Why's it so dour in here?

No reason.

Hey, let's ditch the moping grandpa, and grab drinks tonight.

Sorry, but I've got plans.

Yeah, at the gym I bet.

Well actually...

I'm so excited to start exercising in this.

And I'm excited for you.

If you need any tips, ask away.

I will, thank you.

Of course.

Your "Extra-Terrestrial Mont Blanc".

Wow, this is ginormous.

Here, let's share.

You can have it, Ms. Ozu.

Are you sure?

Positive. I'm dieting anyway.

- Right. - Yeah.

- I suppose you are. - So eat up.

Thank you.

Mr. Oshima, I'm only making a guess, but... Do you have a sweet tooth?

A huge guy like me, having a sweet tooth.

Must seem ridiculous, huh?

Not at all.

What?

It's ridiculous to hold back on the things you like, because of what other's may think.

Life is much more fun if you focus on cherishing yourself.

Besides, having a sweet tooth totally suits you.

Really?

Yes.

Let's dig in.

- Yeah. - It looks delicious.

Yum!

Ms. Ozu, I admire your spirit.

I'll shave down with a broccoli and chicken breast lunch tomorrow.

As will I.

Yum.

- Good, isn't it? - So good.

This is delicious.

Yum.

What's up?

What's up with you?

I told you, no smoking in bed.

- Aw... - You'll get the ashes everywhere.

Why the cold shoulder?

Weren't you supposed to be at your girlfriend's place today?

I wanted to see you, Ayaka.

[Ryo Sakamoto: The cookies were delicious! Thank you again!]

Thank you for meeting with us today.

The pleasure was ours. We look forward to seeing what you do.

And we hope to live up to expectations.

Thank you again.

- Thank you. - Of course.

Thank you.

It's finally over.

I'm beat.

How about we grab a celebratory drink...

Ms. Aoi?

Ms. Aoi? Are you alright?

Ms. Aoi?

What?

Hey, good work today.

What?

Itami.

Mr. Kurosawa! You actually came.

How is Ms. Morita?

She's currently hooked up to an IV.

The nurse said it would take around two hours. She should be out soon.

Thanks.

So you rushed here for her.

What?

Nothing.

There's still payment and admin stuff to settle, right?

I'm sure you're exhausted. Head back to the hotel and rest.

Itami?

You're serious about Ms. Aoi then.

What are you talking about?

As her boss, I -

Is it really because you're her boss?

No "boss" would travel two hours to see if his subordinate was doing okay.

I'll head on back to the hotel.

Yeah. Great work today.

Thank you, sir.

Please take it easy for the night.

Thank you.

Ms. Morita...

Mr. Kurosawa?

What are you doing here?

Itami called, and told me you collapsed.

How are you feeling?

Much better now.

Where did Mr. Itami...

I sent him back to the hotel.

Is this all you brought with you?

Yes.

Alright.

I'll see you back to the hotel.

Why...

Why are you doing all this?

Because I was worried about you.

I also feel responsible for possibly pushing you to this extent.

In that case...

is this visit another responsibility of yours...

as my boss?

What?

I get mixed signals...

when you treat me like this.

♫ ♫

♫ ♫

Mr. Kurosawa.

I know in your eyes...

Good morning.

you may only be extending a hand to your junior.

♫ ♫

For you.

I'll be there to watch your back.

But to me...

He could learn to be patient like you, Ms. Morita.

Take a good look, 'cause it's not happening again.

♫ ♫

To me, your actions make me fall harder for you.

♫ ♫

Sir...

If you're only doing what's right as my superior...

then your kindness is all too cruel.

Ms. Morita...

Thank you.

That felt vindicating.

I guess it'll be our little secret.

♫ ♫

Sir, why?

Why are you confusing me?

Because I can't just leave you.

♫ ♫

♫ ♫

I can't ever leave you be.

♫ ♫

♫ ♫

♫ ♫

Tomonari, did you get a girlfriend?

I want to have a long chat with you, Ms. Morita.

- So if you'd like to visit my - - Yes.

Stay here until the rain lets up.

Would that be alright?

Ms. Morita, there are better people out there for you.
