00:00My name's Kota Nakano. I'm 26, and I work at Koiwa Tradings Corp.
00:06I'm currently overseeing this major project with a client.
00:10If I pull off this project, my salary will go up for sure!
00:14Alright, let's do this!
00:17Whoa there, take it easy. How about we start with some tea?
00:21I also have snacks if you're interested.
00:23Huh? But I'm the one who is taking up your valuable time, sir.
00:28I have a great deal of trust in you.
00:30I trust you so much that it seems unnecessary to have a meeting.
00:34Uh, sir, I believe a meeting is necessary though.
00:38I have no idea why, but he really likes me.
00:41I guess I should be thankful for that.
00:44Oh, before I forget, have you considered the topic we discussed the other day?
00:49Uh, are you talking about...
00:52Absolutely! It's regarding my daughter!
00:55I knew it!
00:57So, what do you say? Why not try to set up a meeting with her first?
01:02My daughter is really good looking.
01:04Whoa, she's really pretty.
01:07If you're willing to meet with her,
01:09I'll let my company know about the proposal you put forward the other day.
01:13Uh, alright, sir.
01:16I can't turn down his offer. It's all for the project!
01:21And on the day of the blind date,
01:23the client's CEO invited me and his daughter to go to a fancy lunch.
01:28Hmm, so you're my daddy's favorite client, huh?
01:32You're pretty simple, but I guess your face is decent.
01:37Thank you very much. My name is Kota Nakano.
01:41My name is Marie Takano. Make yourself comfortable.
01:45You couldn't refuse daddy's offer, so you had no choice but to come here, right?
01:50Wow, she's spot on. Anyways...
01:54She's so much prettier in person than in the photo,
01:57but her personality is not what I anticipated.
02:01Made entirely from ingredients in Korwa Town,
02:04this is a foie gras terrine.
02:09What is this thing? It looks delicious!
02:12I've never tried foie gras before.
02:14What's a terrine? Is that someone's name?
02:18It looks delicious!
02:20You think so? I hate cold terrine.
02:24Plus, let's be honest, it looks unappetizing no matter how you look at it.
02:29What? No way, I don't think that's true at all.
02:33I mean, what was up with that waiter? He had no manners whatsoever.
02:38Why complain? This lunch is fancier than anything I've ever had!
02:44My daddy just doesn't get me.
02:47I can't believe he'd pick such a basic restaurant.
02:50He should know what I like by now.
02:54Look, this is yours.
02:56You wouldn't be able to enjoy this if we didn't arrange this blind date, right?
03:00So show some gratitude.
03:02Alright, that's enough.
03:05Who do you think you are, thinking you're so great?
03:08That kind of attitude will catch up to you eventually.
03:14I'm sorry, please excuse me. I'm going to the restroom for a bit.
03:20Oh man, I can't believe I blurted that out.
03:23Her dad's a big business client.
03:25Ugh, I sounded so full of myself.
03:29I'll just say sorry to her right now.
03:31I'll even get down on my knees if that's what she wants.
03:34I hope I'm not too late to apologize.
03:37But when I came back from the restroom...
03:41Ugh, I've never felt this way before.
03:45Can you get more mad at me?
03:47Say what?
03:49Hey, what are you doing?
03:51Please stop sitting on the floor like that.
03:53Take a seat on the chair.
03:55No! This is my way of making things right.
03:58I'm sorry for being so selfish earlier.
04:01I've had it easy my whole life.
04:03I mean, you come from a rich family.
04:06No one ever reprimanded me or got mad at me.
04:10But you, Kouta.
04:12You did.
04:14You scolded me because you genuinely care about me, didn't you?
04:19I can't help but fall for you.
04:22Wait, what? Fall for me?
04:25Yes! I love you!
04:27I love you so much!
04:29Let's get married right away, okay?
04:31Hang on, chill out for a sec.
04:34A few days later.
04:36Oh, man.
04:38Huh? You look super tired, huh?
04:42Well, yeah.
04:44So, how did it go?
04:46You went on that blind date, didn't you?
04:49You seriously want to know?
04:51Well, duh. I'm totally curious about how it went.
04:56Actually, that blind date was a real challenge.
04:59Even after that, I somehow convinced her to hop in a cab.
05:03But she didn't want to.
05:05I'm sticking with you, Kouta.
05:07No way I'm leaving.
05:09What are you talking about?
05:11Your dad would be seriously worried about you.
05:13So why not just come over to my place, Kouta?
05:16And you can be my dad's son-in-law.
05:18No, I can't do that.
05:22Why not?
05:25In the end, I finally got home after the sun went down.
05:28Ugh, my precious weekend is over.
05:31What am I even doing?
05:33I'm just glad it didn't turn out to be a big deal.
05:36But then again, it sort of is a problem in a different way.
05:41I can't believe you passed on her.
05:44Just marry her already and secure that bag.
05:47She's loaded.
05:49No, that's just not right.
05:51She's the daughter of a CEO, you know?
05:53If I do something wrong, it could mess up my job, too.
05:57You're a total wimp sometimes.
05:59I only went on that blind date for the project's sake.
06:02No way I'm going to marry her.
06:05Anyways, Saya, here.
06:07This is for this month.
06:09Woohoo! Thanks! Love ya!
06:12Geez, all you ever care about is yourself.
06:15No, that's not true.
06:18I'm super grateful for you.
06:21Well, a lot happened.
06:23I highly doubt I'll ever see her again.
06:25That's what I thought.
06:27But when I got back home...
06:29Oh, there you are.
06:31You're finally home.
06:33Mariye, why are you...
06:35Obviously, it's because I wanted to see you.
06:38Uh, how did you know where I live in the first place?
06:42That's easy.
06:44My daddy told me.
06:46Oh shoot, he sent me a gift last year so he knows where I live.
06:50Listen, it is what it is, so just let me in, okay?
06:54I'm staying here tonight.
06:56N-no, you can't do that!
06:58Relax. I even brought spare underwear.
07:01They're red and lacy.
07:03Did you really have to mention that just now?
07:07It was already dark.
07:09In the end, I had no option but to let her stay with me because I couldn't just say no.
07:14Oh? This is how a regular person's room looks?
07:18It's so cool! And nice.
07:22Uh, thanks, I guess.
07:24So, what's really going on?
07:27I told you I wanted to see you.
07:29And like, it's expected for married couples to live under the same roof, right?
07:33What do you mean?
07:35Your dad would never go for this idea.
07:37What if he freaks out?
07:39Not true at all. Daddy's supporting us too.
07:42You're kidding. That can't be right.
07:46Then, do you want to ask him?
07:49Even if he's fond of me, he would never allow his daughter to be in a room with a single guy.
07:57I don't mind at all. Go ahead and live with her if you want.
08:01Wait, sir? Are you serious?
08:04I trust you 120%, Kouta.
08:07And my daughter seems to like you a lot.
08:11You're putting too much weight on me with your trust!
08:14Oh, come on. Don't be like that.
08:17You remember, right? The day we first met.
08:19Yes, of course.
08:21That situation was a real wake-up call for me.
08:24I've been harsh towards my subordinate, but you were strict with me.
08:28It's remarkable to see such maturity in someone so young.
08:32I'm sorry for being rude to you back then.
08:36So, I'm counting on you to keep an eye on my daughter and make sure she behaves.
08:41Wha? She's not a pet like a dog or a cat, you know?
08:46My wife and I have a tendency to spoil our daughter.
08:49I'm sorry, but I'm entrusting you with her care.
08:53She may be a bit naive, but she has a kind heart.
08:56Now, if you'll excuse me.
08:58Oh, wait!
09:00Hey, are you done?
09:02I'd like to slip into something more... cozy.
09:08She basically made me responsible for looking after his daughter!
09:12It's crazy, but I can't just send her away now.
09:16You can stay over tonight, but you gotta leave by tomorrow, okay?
09:24But I'm your wife, Kouta!
09:26No, you aren't.
09:28I'll sleep on the sofa, so please use the bed.
09:31Also, please make sure to change your clothes in the changing room.
09:35Alright, alright.
09:37Kouta, you're no fun.
09:40But when I came home the next day...
09:43Welcome home, Kouta!
09:45Dinner's ready.
09:47Oh, thanks.
09:49Hold up, what?
09:51Why is she still here?
09:53Why are you still here?
09:55I told you to leave, didn't I?
09:57C-come on!
09:59Don't worry about that right now.
10:01Your food's gonna get cold if you don't hurry.
10:03Let's move, let's move!
10:05Hold on, don't push me!
10:07I put a lot of effort into making this dinner.
10:11What do you think? Not bad, right?
10:13Uh, yeah, I guess so.
10:16I've never had a home-cooked meal from a woman until now.
10:20Alright, open your mouth!
10:23Uh...
10:26So, what do you think?
10:28Is it delicious?
10:30It's... really delicious!
10:33Yay!
10:35She's so cute!
10:37I had no idea she could pull off that expression, too.
10:40Wait, why am I even thinking about that?
10:43Just so you know, there's more food if you're still hungry.
10:47So help yourself and eat as much as you want, okay?
10:50Thank you very much.
10:52By the way, I've got something important to tell you.
10:56Oh, your fingers are...
10:59Huh?
11:01I still suck at cooking a bit.
11:04Darn, I didn't want you to see my bandaged fingers.
11:08Now I look like a klutz.
11:10What? I'd never think you're a klutz!
11:13Wow, she did all this for me.
11:15I guess it's okay if she stays over for a bit.
11:18I just have to be careful, though.
11:21But, it seems I was wrong about her.
11:25How about we sleep in the same bed, Kouta?
11:28You're gonna say yes, right, Kouta?
11:30Definitely not. Why would you even ask?
11:33What are you doing?
11:36Oh, too bad.
11:38This is custom made, so I'm not taking no for an answer.
11:42Looks like I'm crashing in your bed.
11:44No, you can't! You can't just crash in here!
11:48If we're married, we've gotta sleep in the same bed, right?
11:53I told you already, we're not married!
11:56Then, Marie crashed at my place for a whole week after that.
12:01Yeah, she can be a pain, but she's actually pretty helpful.
12:05She takes care of all the cleaning and laundry for me, which helps me get my work done.
12:11I can't just have her taking care of me all the time, though.
12:14I need to find a way to do something nice for her.
12:18I suppose it's alright to treat her to some flowers from time to time.
12:23After coming home.
12:24Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for everything.
12:27I know this gift isn't anything major, but...
12:31Oh, I guess you didn't want these flowers, huh?
12:35No, that's not it.
12:38I'm very happy.
12:43I knew it, Kouta.
12:45You've got a crush on me.
12:47My hard work finally paid off.
12:49Uh, did you say something just now?
12:52Oh, it's nothing.
12:55Huh?
12:57It's been a whole month since we started this weird living arrangement.
13:00Today we had the day off, so we went shopping together.
13:04Isn't that heavy?
13:06If you want, I can carry that one too.
13:08I'm fine.
13:10Since we're a married couple, we gotta handle the pain together.
13:13Uh, no, we're not exactly married.
13:17Oh, don't you worry about that.
13:20I know exactly how you feel about me.
13:23Uh, what do you mean by...
13:26Woof, woof, woof!
13:30Wait, back up a bit. You're too close!
13:33I just can't handle dogs at all.
13:36Whoa, she's really soft, and she even smells pretty nice.
13:41I mean, I need to stop being weird.
13:44Hey, there's no treats for you here.
13:47Th-thanks.
13:49I feel so lame.
13:51You didn't do anything wrong.
13:53The dog was at fault.
13:55We gotta train them properly, right?
13:57And it's not just dogs, but people too.
14:00Y-yeah, you're right.
14:03Training is important, huh.
14:06A few days later.
14:08I'm home!
14:10Welcome home, Kouta!
14:12Well done today.
14:14Wait, what the? Why are you dressed like that?
14:17Because, Kouta.
14:19You haven't yelled at me once since then.
14:22Excuse me?
14:24Can you... be stricter with me?
14:28Man, she's so freaking cute!
14:31I-I gotta keep it together.
14:33I'm almost done with the project.
14:35Just hang in there until it's done!
14:40Kouta!
14:42Do you not like me?
14:44I-I never said that.
14:46Then, do you like me?
14:48I-I'm just gonna keep quiet.
14:51What are you talking about?
14:53I already know how you feel about me, you know?
14:56Say what now?
14:58On another day.
15:00Ugh.
15:02You seem a bit down.
15:04Did something happen with your girlfriend?
15:07Well, kinda.
15:09To be honest, these days at work,
15:11all I can think about is Marie.
15:13She might be a bit naive and not really in the know,
15:17but she's a real go-getter who puts her all into work
15:20and gives it everything she's got.
15:22Hmm, I see.
15:24If you're always thinking about her,
15:27why don't you just marry her?
15:29It's not that easy.
15:31If I marry her now,
15:32it'll look like I just used her to make the project successful.
15:36Relax, you're being too serious.
15:39I gotta prove myself at work
15:41before I can open up to her about my feelings.
15:44It's only fair, you know?
15:48Should I marry you then?
15:51I can't believe you said that!
15:53Jeez, that hurt.
15:56You're being dramatic.
15:59I can't believe he touched that girl's head.
16:03That's just wrong.
16:05He never pulled that on me.
16:07She must have meant a lot to him.
16:09He played me.
16:11I'll never forgive him for that.
16:13The next day.
16:15Welp, I'm off now.
16:18Marie?
16:20What's wrong with her?
16:22I wonder if I did something to upset her?
16:25Even though I was confused about some things,
16:28I was positive that everything would be fine
16:30once the project was finished.
16:32That's what I believed at the time.
16:35And after a couple of days,
16:37the project is finally done.
16:39I got the day off,
16:41so I'm gonna take it easy for once.
16:43Man, I'm getting sleepy.
16:46I must be worn out.
16:49What time is it?
16:51How long did I sleep for?
16:53Good morning, Kouta.
16:55You finally woke up.
16:57Marie?
16:58My bad for passing out like that
17:00on my day off, too.
17:02No big deal.
17:04Your passing out actually helped me get ready.
17:06Huh?
17:08Wait, what?
17:09What do you have in your hand?
17:11Kouta, you mentioned that
17:13training and discipline are important, right?
17:17What are you talking about all of a sudden?
17:19What are you trying to say?
17:21Guess what?
17:22I saw you
17:24hanging out with a girl
17:25looking all cozy with her the other day.
17:27What?
17:28You saw that?
17:30I see how it is.
17:32You had a crush on that girl, right?
17:34That's why you kept your distance from me,
17:37even though you were the one
17:38trying to get my attention.
17:40Wait a sec.
17:41Calm down.
17:42I mean, what did I even do?
17:44Oh, stop acting clueless.
17:46You got me flowers.
17:48That's basically like asking me to marry you, right?
17:51Wait, really?
17:53Just to clarify,
17:54she's not my girlfriend or anything like that.
17:57Hey there.
17:58I've come over to hang out.
18:00Um, what?
18:02Saya, how did you even come in here?
18:05Duh.
18:06I used the spare key to get in.
18:08Uh, are you guys in the middle of something?
18:12Spare key?
18:14I didn't even get a spare key from you yet.
18:17I can't believe this.
18:19You're getting this all twisted.
18:22I guess there's nothing I can do about it.
18:25I wanted to act cooler and handle this better.
18:28But oh well.
18:30What do you mean?
18:32Forget about trying to act cool.
18:34It's time to step up and discipline me harder and...
18:37I can only afford something inexpensive at the moment.
18:40But would you still go out with me
18:42with the idea of getting married in the future?
18:45Why?
18:47Listen,
18:48I was gonna confess my feelings to you
18:50when work settled down.
18:52Truth is,
18:53I've been prepping for this in secret.
18:55At first,
18:56I thought you were a stuck-up rich girl.
18:58But living with you made me see things differently.
19:01I ended up falling for you.
19:03That's the honest truth.
19:05No way.
19:06Then,
19:07who is this girl?
19:09Nice to meet ya.
19:11I'm his little sister, Saya.
19:13You...
19:14You're his little sister?
19:16You guys are unusually close for that.
19:18Mom and Dad were never around much because of work.
19:21So maybe that's why.
19:23My brother was always on my case when I was a kid.
19:26Um...
19:27Then,
19:28why'd you go see her at that time?
19:30My family isn't wealthy,
19:32so I'm covering her school expenses.
19:35I was just handing her the money the other day.
19:38My brother is really sweet.
19:40He always takes me to the train station when we catch up.
19:43O-Oh.
19:44That makes sense.
19:46So,
19:47that's what happened.
19:49So,
19:50Marie,
19:51what's your answer?
19:53OMG, it's obvious, right?
19:55I love you too, Koda.
19:57At first, it was because you told me off.
20:00But now I'm really into you.
20:03Please marry me.
20:05I'll make you happy for sure.
20:07Wow.
20:08Congrats, you two.
20:12And so,
20:13that's how we ended up together.
20:15We're planning on getting married soon.
20:17Marie's dad was super happy to hear the news.
20:20Oh,
20:21I'm thrilled.
20:22See,
20:23I was right about you all along.
20:25Please take good care of my daughter.
20:28Certainly, sir.
20:29You can rely on me.
20:31Jeez, Daddy.
20:33You're getting too excited.
20:36Several months have gone by,
20:38and today,
20:39we're checking out the place for the wedding.
20:41So,
20:42what do you think?
20:44Do you think this looks good on me?
20:46W-Wow, yeah.
20:48You look really pretty.
20:50Really?
20:51Then,
20:52make sure to mark me as yours, alright?
20:55And,
20:56don't hesitate to keep me in check.
20:59It's tough to tell people off and set them straight,
21:02but I'll keep trying my best with Marie.
21:04She's an amazing wife after all.
