00:00Hey Kenji, why didn't you come up with a plan, huh?
00:04Sorry, couldn't finish my work.
00:07Stop lying. I found out you were helping someone else with their work yesterday.
00:13Getting yelled at again.
00:15Boss suggests chill.
00:18Totally agree, man.
00:20Are you even listening?
00:22Yes, ma'am.
00:24My name is Kenji Watanabe, 27 years old.
00:28As you can see, I'm just an ordinary businessman.
00:32This woman, Karen Aoki, is the hot CEO of the company I work for.
00:37The reason why she has her eye on me, a mere employee,
00:41is because I accidentally helped her with some work before.
00:46Found a talent!
00:48Huh?
00:49Since then, the boss has been nagging at me about everything.
00:53Probably can't stand my lack of motivation.
00:56You can do it, but you choose not to. It's a huge loss for the company.
01:01Even if she says that, I don't want to stand out.
01:05Besides, I have Uzami, a beautiful colleague at the company,
01:09who says she's fine with me just the way I am.
01:13The truth is, I have a gorgeous girlfriend named Uzami Uraari,
01:17who also works at the same company.
01:19All I need in life is to spend time with her, my first ever girlfriend,
01:23and have a little money.
01:25Whether I desire to excel or get promoted in my job,
01:28I don't care about that stuff.
01:30Then, one day...
01:32Sorry to bother you, but could you help me out?
01:35Sure. I want to earn some overtime pay and take Uzami to a nice restaurant.
01:40It's not like you lack a sense of responsibility.
01:44Did you say something?
01:46Nothing.
01:47Huh? I don't have the documents.
01:49Maybe they're in the second floor meeting room?
01:52I'll get them for you.
01:55Kenji, I... I actually...
01:58What is that?
02:00Should we really be doing this at work?
02:03Thrilling, isn't it?
02:05Look.
02:07Huh? What are you two doing?
02:11This is so out of line at work.
02:14I can't imagine myself doing this.
02:16Wait, Uzami! Chado!
02:20No way. This must be a joke, right?
02:24Surprisingly, Uzami was there, along with my best friend, Chado Yabasugi.
02:30Oops! Got caught!
02:33How could you?
02:35My bad, my bad!
02:37Uzami confessed to me, you know?
02:40Come on, you're boring.
02:42You're so basic that I thought you'd listen to what I say.
02:45But you've got no future and it's a total fail.
02:49What?
02:51Please quit causing trouble at work.
02:54Both of you will have to write an apology letter. Got it?
02:57Yeah, yeah.
02:59And Uzami? You okay with breaking up with Kenji?
03:02Yeah, so what?
03:04I was just dating him out of pity anyway.
03:07Don't want my boss poking her nose into my personal space, you know?
03:11I see.
03:12Well, I'll have him then.
03:15What?
03:17By the way, starting tomorrow, Kenji is becoming a department head.
03:21No way!
03:22What?
03:24Let's go, Kenji!
03:26Huh?
03:27Oh, Uzami, Chado.
03:30Wish you all the happiness.
03:33Also, make sure to clean up this place.
03:35Make sure it's spotless.
03:38Yes, ma'am!
03:40She came back and finished her work with incredible speed.
03:44Afterwards, she invited me for a meal because she had something important to discuss.
03:49But...
03:50So, eat whatever you want.
03:52Thanks.
03:53No, I mean...
03:55But boss, what did you mean earlier?
03:58Oh, that?
04:00Um, well...
04:03She's really going all out.
04:07Aren't you frustrated?
04:09Getting talked to like that.
04:11I've reached my limit, you know.
04:13S-sorry.
04:15I made you lie to defend me.
04:17Huh?
04:18What are you talking about?
04:19I was serious, though.
04:21What?
04:22We're establishing a new department.
04:24You'll be in charge.
04:25You serious?
04:27I've been telling you multiple times, but you just won't show any motivation.
04:31So, I decided to put you in an environment that sparks your motivation.
04:36N-no way.
04:38I can be a department head?
04:40It's gonna be alright.
04:43You can do it.
04:44Because, Kanji, you might not stand out, but you're faster than anyone at your job.
04:49You're diligent, always considerate of others, and subtly support them, right?
04:53You can do it.
04:54I believe in you.
04:56Boss...
04:57Yeah, it was frustrating for me too, but...
05:01Truth is, in my previous workplace, I used to be more motivated and worked harder.
05:07But the better I did my job, the more people whispered about me using connections or playing dirty tricks.
05:13That's what made my relationships with others difficult, and I eventually quit.
05:18And that's when I came to this company, where she is.
05:22Maybe it's time for me to stop running away and face the consequences.
05:26There are people who support and believe in me.
05:29I'll do it.
05:30I'll do my best.
05:32Well said.
05:33That's the kind of man I acknowledge.
05:36The next day, I started my work in the new department right away.
05:40Whoa, you're really a department head now, huh?
05:43Well, good luck, guys.
05:45If anything happens, I'll help you out.
05:48Thanks.
05:52Oh, I should support them.
05:55Let's do our best, guys.
05:59An hour later.
06:00Kanji, how's it going?
06:03Wow, amazing.
06:04I didn't know we could do it like this.
06:07Yeah, if you do it this way, it's quick and you can make a list.
06:11Wow.
06:13Chief, could you take a look at this document?
06:15Wow, the concept is so clear.
06:18Yeah, this part.
06:20Seems like he's doing fine.
06:23A few hours later.
06:25Um, aren't you hungry?
06:27Chief, it's almost quitting time.
06:30Huh?
06:31Oh, yeah.
06:32Feels like they're not open to me.
06:34Kanji, can you come to my office?
06:37Huh?
06:38Here, eat this.
06:40What?
06:41You didn't have lunch, did you?
06:43You were too focused.
06:45Everyone was worried.
06:46Oh, so that's why.
06:48I forgot to eat.
06:50If you don't take breaks, it'll cause trouble for me.
06:53I'm sorry.
06:54Thank you.
06:57But, boss.
06:58Aren't you gonna eat?
07:00Well, yeah, but...
07:02Then eat already.
07:04Okay.
07:05It's embarrassing.
07:07If you don't take breaks next time, I'll make you eat in front of everyone.
07:11Got it?
07:12I'll keep that in mind.
07:16Just kidding.
07:18Oh, she looks cute when she laughs.
07:21From then on, we started having lunch together every day,
07:24which also served as a progress report for the department.
07:28With her advice, work was going smoothly.
07:31Several weeks passed like that.
07:33How long are you planning to work, huh?
07:36Sorry, I forgot to check the time.
07:39Jeez.
07:40It's good that you're motivated now, but don't push yourself too hard.
07:44I thought you left when we said hi earlier.
07:46But you work late too, you know.
07:49And you're always up early.
07:51Don't mind me.
07:52Besides, Kanji, you're...
07:54Boss?
07:55What's wrong?
07:58Don't...
08:00Push yourself.
08:02Huh? She's sleeping?
08:04She must be tired.
08:06I'll let her sleep until we arrive.
08:08I think we live in the same direction.
08:10Excuse me, could you go to this address first?
08:13Sure thing.
08:15Ten minutes later.
08:16Boss, we're here.
08:18Wake up.
08:19Huh?
08:20Yeah, sorry.
08:22I dozed off.
08:24Hm?
08:25Keys?
08:26Keys...
08:28Huh?
08:29Boss?
08:30They're not here.
08:32I must have left them in the office.
08:34Should we go back to the office?
08:37No, it's fine.
08:39Sir, please take us to his place.
08:41What?
08:42Sure thing.
08:43Let me stay for the night.
08:45What?
08:46It's not a big deal, right?
08:49Or maybe you already have a new girlfriend.
08:52Um, no.
08:54Well then, it's fine.
08:56That's not the point, right?
08:58Fifteen minutes later.
09:00There's nothing here, but...
09:02And what's here?
09:04Oh, it's a bathroom.
09:06I wonder what's inside.
09:08W-wait a sec.
09:10Stop.
09:12Whoa.
09:13Sorry.
09:17It's okay.
09:19I'll take a shower.
09:21Oh, sure.
09:22I'll bring some clothes later.
09:24Man, I'm so nervous.
09:26No, calm down.
09:27Stay calm!
09:29An hour later.
09:31Well then, please use the bed.
09:33And what about you?
09:35I'll sleep down here.
09:37That won't do.
09:38You won't be able to rest.
09:40I don't mind, so let's sleep together.
09:42Oh, no, I can't.
09:44Taking care of your health is part of the job.
09:47Now let's sleep and prepare for tomorrow.
09:50A few minutes later.
09:52What's going on?
09:53This is an emergency!
09:55Hey, can you keep Friday night free?
09:58There's something really important.
10:00Wonder if it's a business dinner with a client?
10:03Okay, got it.
10:06Look forward to it.
10:08Good night.
10:09Yeah, good night.
10:11How can I sleep?
10:16And came Friday.
10:18It's beautiful.
10:20Right?
10:21I wanted to bring you here.
10:22It's only until today.
10:24I thought you could relax here.
10:26We gotta have some delicious food once in a while.
10:29Karen, thank you.
10:33It's delicious.
10:35They also have hot wine.
10:37It's cold, so have some.
10:39Oh, you're so thoughtful.
10:41Thanks.
10:43It's so warm.
10:46Yeah, it is.
10:50Why is she so...
10:53Um, Kenji.
10:55You okay now?
10:57Huh? What do you mean?
10:59About Uzami and work.
11:02I'm sorry for sounding pushy back then.
11:05It's okay.
11:06I don't really mind anymore.
11:08Besides, I'm motivated because you support me.
11:11Come to think of it,
11:12I've somehow forgotten about my past
11:14and even about Uzami.
11:16I see.
11:17That's good.
11:19If there's anything I can do, just let me know.
11:22I'll help you.
11:23We can also hang out like this.
11:25She was worried about me all this time.
11:28I've been able to move forward
11:30and face the future
11:31in these past few weeks
11:33thanks to her.
11:34Just as she supported me,
11:36I want to be her support
11:38in work
11:39and besides work.
11:41Since then,
11:42I've been more focused on my work than ever before.
11:45Of course, I followed her advice
11:47and took some rest
11:48and communicated with my subordinates.
11:50Ugh.
11:51That guy always gets to enjoy the good stuff.
11:54Oh, right.
11:56A few days later.
11:58Oh, no.
11:59The deadline for today's work is...
12:01Huh?
12:02Today?
12:03Wasn't it next week?
12:05There seems to have been a communication issue.
12:07I'm sorry.
12:09Let's hurry.
12:10If we rush, we can make it.
12:11Alrighty.
12:13Whoa.
12:14Looks tough, huh?
12:15Haha.
12:16You have other tasks, too.
12:18So there's no way you'll make it, boss.
12:20Why not just apologize to the client
12:22and ask for an extension?
12:24What?
12:25Rather than pushing yourself too hard,
12:27it's better to produce quality work.
12:30That's...
12:31But more importantly...
12:33Yeah.
12:34There are other options, right?
12:36At least extend the deadline
12:38today after tomorrow.
12:41Sorry.
12:42It's all my fault.
12:44Don't worry.
12:45We'll make it on time.
12:48It affects the company's reputation.
12:50Kenji.
12:52Leave it to me.
12:54Trying to act cool, huh?
12:56Haha.
12:57Good luck.
12:59Thanks.
13:00I'll do it, too.
13:02Sorry, chief.
13:03Thanks.
13:04Can you do this?
13:05Us, too.
13:07Guys.
13:09We did it.
13:11We made it on time.
13:13You're amazing, Kenji.
13:15Nah.
13:16Chief!
13:17It's incredible.
13:19You finished those tasks in no time.
13:21And you read English fluently, too?
13:24Thank you so much.
13:27Thanks to you, we did it.
13:29Yeah.
13:30Good job, guys.
13:31Let's go for drinks tonight.
13:33It's on me.
13:35Yeah!
13:37Alright.
13:38I'll go get my stuff.
13:39Hey.
13:40What's going on?
13:41I come to check how things are going and...
13:43Yo.
13:44Why is that dude so freaking good at his job?
13:47It's like my effort was pointless, man.
13:49Um.
13:50Excuse me?
13:52Eek!
13:53Boss.
13:54It's not what you think.
13:55This whole thing was just a spur of the moment.
13:58I was just used by this guy.
14:00I'm telling you.
14:01What?
14:02You were totally into it, too.
14:04Are you kidding me?
14:06What's that supposed to mean?
14:07I mean, in the first place.
14:09Ugh.
14:10This is embarrassing to watch.
14:11Let's talk about this tomorrow, okay?
14:13Aw, come on!
14:16After that, we all celebrated and had a great time as a team,
14:20feeling accomplished after a hard day's work.
14:23It was the first time I felt that post-work drink tasted so good.
14:27Good job, everyone!
14:29Well done!
14:30Get home safe.
14:31Karen, I'll walk you home.
14:33Thanks.
14:35You really saved me today.
14:37You lived up to my expectations that you can handle anything, you know?
14:41You've become a great chief loved by your subordinates.
14:44Oh, it's not like that.
14:46I was able to give my best because you were there for me.
14:49I just gave a little push to you.
14:51That's what a boss does, you know?
14:53Karen.
14:54Remember?
14:55When I first took over as the CEO?
14:58Aw.
15:00Back then, people used to look down on me because I was young and a woman.
15:04Even though I was supposed to be chosen as the CEO based on my abilities,
15:08I never got the recognition.
15:10But you were always there to help me out.
15:13Ugh.
15:14He still hasn't finished what I asked him to do.
15:16We have a meeting coming up.
15:18Boss, I'm done.
15:20Th-thanks.
15:22Wow, it's really well done and so fast.
15:26Also, please use this.
15:28Huh?
15:29Thanks.
15:30I was planning to make it from now.
15:32I thought it might come in handy.
15:34And also this, if you don't mind.
15:37What?
15:38You look pale.
15:39I'll handle the tasks I can, so feel free to ask me, okay?
15:43I'm good at the background work, you know?
15:45Huh?
15:46Thanks.
15:47Didn't you notice?
15:49You stood out so much to me, even though you wanted to blend in.
15:53Well, you seemed really stressed at the time, so...
15:58You're so kind.
16:00That's what I really like about you.
16:02What?
16:03Didn't you realize?
16:05I like you, Kenji.
16:08I'll keep working hard as a CEO and to support you, but...
16:12I also want to support you as...
16:14You know...
16:15Your girlfriend.
16:17No, I mean...
16:18I want to be with you.
16:20I've been thinking about it.
16:23I... I feel the same way.
16:25I was super happy that you recognized me.
16:28And work keeps getting more and more fun.
16:31Thanks to you, I've finally let go of all the worries I had.
16:34From now on, I'll give it my all at work.
16:37I'll deliver results like there's no tomorrow.
16:40Let me be by your side, both professionally and personally.
16:44Kenji!
16:45Of course!
16:47It turned out later that the communication mishap was caused by Charao and Uzami's screw-up.
16:53Upon further investigation, it was revealed that both of them had other issues with their behavior and such.
16:59Charao got demoted and ended up in some tough factory job, or so the rumors say.
17:05As for Uzami, she got transferred to an underground apartment, but lamented the lack of men and eventually quit.
17:12After that, Uzami, who got dumped by Charao, tried to reconcile with me.
17:17But there's no way I'd say yes, of course.
17:20Rejected, Uzami seems to be putting all her effort into finding a partner.
17:25But it seems like she's experiencing a series of defeats.
17:30Meanwhile, I gained recognition as a capable guy throughout the entire company.
17:36Nowadays, no one thinks I can't handle my job.
17:39And as for my relationship with Karen...
17:41Kenji, I have a proposal for a new project.
17:45Talking about work on our day off? That's unusual.
17:49It's about... a wedding!
17:52Huh?
17:53I'm thinking about both traditional and western-style weddings.
17:57But of course, the big question is...
17:59Will you marry me or what?
18:02Will you... marry me?
18:05Of course!
18:07Marry me, Karen!
18:09Yes!
18:10She will become my beloved wife.
18:12The one I love more than anyone else in the world.
18:15I won't let anyone take her place by my side.
18:18Or rather, I won't even allow it.
18:20Seeing her smile up close is my ultimate happiness.
