00:00Phew, I'm finally done.
00:03My name's Kent Nakamura, and I'm 25 years old.
00:07I've been working for this company for three years now.
00:10Alrighty, all I have to do is to submit this to Reina.
00:14Okay, here I go.
00:16Reina, I've completed the papers for the meeting.
00:19Can you review them?
00:20Sure, thanks.
00:21I feel like I'm on trial waiting for my sentence.
00:27This is my boss, Reina Miura, and she's 29 years old.
00:31She's known for being a real ice queen at work, and always sticking to her tough attitude
00:36with everyone, whether they're her boss or under her.
00:40She's like a tough leader, but also really stunning.
00:43Hmm, I see.
00:46I wonder what she means by that.
00:48Your document is a bit hard to read all at once.
00:52Oh man.
00:53First of all, this page has way too many words.
00:56The colors are dull, and there are no diagrams either.
00:59Plus...
01:00She really doesn't hold back, does she?
01:04Remember to think about what I said and fix these documents.
01:08Yes ma'am, I'll revise the documents right away.
01:11I don't think I'll ever get a compliment from Reina.
01:14It's like a never-ending dream.
01:17Finally, the weekend is here!
01:21Woohoo!
01:22And I can relax from work!
01:24Time to let loose and get rid of all that stress!
01:27There's only one thing I'm really looking forward to do to unwind and de-stress.
01:32For sure!
01:33Well then, I'm off to do some housework!
01:36I'm a guy who prefers doing chores over eating three meals a day.
01:40And I'm making some extra money by working part-time as a housekeeper.
01:44Time to go make someone's house all sparkly clean!
01:49One hour later.
01:52Hello there!
01:53I'm here to help with the housekeeping!
01:55Yes, I'm coming!
01:57Hello!
01:58Nice to meet you-
02:00Wait, what?
02:02Um, what?
02:03What are you doing here, Reina?
02:06I was literally about to say that!
02:09What are you doing here, Kent?
02:11Uh, I'm just here to help with the housekeeping.
02:14You're joking, right?
02:16I don't know if it's normal for something like this to just happen.
02:21You're making me doubt a bit.
02:22Come on, I'm not making things up!
02:25I mean, can you seriously do the housekeeping job?
02:29Uh, well, I'm pretty confident my housekeeping game is on par with a professional housewife's.
02:36Are you sure about that?
02:38She's doubting me big time!
02:40I gotta do something about this.
02:43Oh, it's you, Daddy!
02:46Huh?
02:47D-Daddy?
02:48Huh?
02:49Wait a minute, Vin, what are you talking about?
02:51Oh, this is Reina's daughter, isn't she?
02:54I remember her visiting our office before.
02:57Daddy!
02:59I'm not your daddy.
03:02She's super cute!
03:05Vin, stop right there.
03:07Kent is not your daddy, and-
03:10But, Mommy, you keep showing me his photo, pointing at it and saying you want him to be my new daddy, right?
03:18Huh?
03:19What do you mean by-
03:21B-By the way, you're here to help with the chores, right?
03:25Can you please do them for me right away?
03:27Like, right now!
03:29Your face is blushing, Mommy!
03:32Hey! Stop it!
03:38After that, Reina rushed me to get to work right away.
03:41Just checking, for today, I only need to clean around the sinks and where the water goes, right?
03:47Y-Yes, that's right.
03:50Alright, I got it. I'll start with the sink in the kitchen first.
03:54Um...
03:55A lot happened, and it's all a bit overwhelming, but I'm just gonna clean up whatever's in my way.
04:02I guess you were right about your housekeeping skills. You really know what you're doing.
04:07You still didn't believe me?
04:10I-I couldn't help it. I bet anyone would feel the same.
04:15W-Well, yeah, I guess you got a point.
04:19After that, I went ahead and cleaned them one by one.
04:22They were all challenging and exciting areas to clean, but...
04:26Oh, uh, Reina, it's really difficult to clean with you watching me all the time.
04:33I-I'm sorry. I got curious about how you do your cleaning.
04:39I'm not doing anything shady, you know? Even though you don't trust me.
04:45O-Obviously I know that you won't do anything shady.
04:48Wow! You're so good at cleaning, Daddy! So cool!
04:53I keep saying this, but he's not your daddy.
04:58After that, I wrapped up cleaning at Reina's, then had dinner with them like Rin asked, and finally headed back home.
05:07Ever since then, I've been going to Reina's place as a housekeeper.
05:11I never expected you to pick me as your housekeeper again.
05:15It's just that... Rin wouldn't stop bugging me until I invited you over.
05:21And you're doing a great job with the housekeeping. It's really helpful and impressive.
05:27Thank you!
05:29So, after cleaning Reina's place a lot lately, I realized something. And that is...
05:35Mommy, look! I got a hundred on my math test!
05:39Oh, wow! That's great! I knew you'd do amazing at the test, Rin!
05:47Whoa, Reina is straight up complimenting her.
05:50Yep, Reina is all strict at the office, but when it comes to Rin, she's actually really nice and encouraging.
05:57I bet you're thinking something weird about me, right?
06:00No way! What are you talking about? There's no way I'd do that!
06:06I know what I'm saying, okay? We've been working together for years.
06:10Reina, aren't your glares at me a bit too intense when Rin is around?
06:15Thank you very much for your advice. But don't worry, I've given Rin a special training.
06:22What do you mean by that?
06:24Mommy and Daddy, you guys get along so well!
06:29And like that, as I kept going to clean up Reina's place, I got closer to Rin and she started liking me more too.
06:36Even when you're not around, Mommy brings you up when she's drinking.
06:40She talks about what happened at work and stuff like that.
06:44Rin, what are you talking about?
06:47Oh, really? Interesting.
06:49It can't! Why are you believing what she said?
06:54Mommy, you're blushing again!
07:02I'll get you for this!
07:04I hope this will help Reina feel more comfortable talking to me casually.
07:09But back at the company...
07:12You haven't submitted the financial statements yet, Kent. What's going on?
07:16I'm sorry, I completely forgot about it.
07:21Haven't you been slacking off recently?
07:24I'm terribly sorry.
07:26And I looked at the presentation materials you sent me. There's a bunch of revisions needed.
07:31Make sure to go through them and update everything. Got it?
07:35Y-yes, ma'am.
07:38Wait, she's like 20% more strict now than usual, isn't she?
07:42Maybe she's just trying to get even with me because Rin was teasing her at...
07:48Hey! Stop slouching and straighten up!
07:51Alright, bring it over when you're done.
07:54Y-yes, ma'am! She's right by my side!
07:58Then one day...
08:00Reina, can you please have a look at these documents?
08:04Yeah, sure.
08:06I wonder what kind of harsh words she's going to lay on me today.
08:09I guess I should be prepared for whatever she says.
08:12Okay, not bad.
08:15Thanks for finishing them.
08:17Huh? That's it?
08:19What do you mean? Do I need to add anything else to that?
08:23No, uh, never mind.
08:26Something seems off, or maybe it's just my imagination.
08:30I went back to work with a clear mind that day.
08:33But the next day, something happened.
08:36Oh, it's Reina. What's she doing in front of the break room?
08:41Reina is so distant and cold. Plus, she's super strict.
08:46I know exactly what you're talking about, dude.
08:49She chewed me out for handing in an assignment five minutes past the deadline.
08:54She could definitely use some better words to say things.
08:57For sure, dude.
08:59Ugh...
09:01Hey, Reina.
09:02Whoa! K-Kent? What are you doing here?
09:06You haven't finished work yet, have you?
09:09I thought I'd take a break.
09:11Oh, Reina, how about we take a break together?
09:14Huh?
09:16Ah, it's so nice here. This is my go-to spot.
09:21Why did you suddenly take me to this spot out of nowhere?
09:24Well, you see, I can't really find the right words, but your strictness always pulls me through, Reina.
09:32What are you talking about? I-I don't need your pep talk, Kent.
09:38Hey, your excuses don't work on me.
09:41Reina, I can tell you're not just a strict boss. You're actually really kind.
09:46How long do you think we've been working together?
09:48Huh?
09:49Ah...
09:51I guess I can't compete with you, huh?
09:54I actually used to be less strict before at work, but one of my team members messed up big time,
10:00and he ended up leaving the company because he felt guilty.
10:04I tried to stop him from quitting, but he didn't change his mind. I was helpless.
10:09Reina...
10:11And during that time, me and my husband got into an argument about raising Rin.
10:16He wasn't very helpful with taking care of our daughter, and he went straight to gambling.
10:20That's awful.
10:22That's why I ended things with him. But I had to take care of Rin all on my own.
10:27All that stuff happened at the same time, and I realized I had to be tough, not soft.
10:34But lately, I've been having second thoughts about being so strict,
10:39because it's making a lot of people unhappy, and I've received hurtful comments from a lot of people.
10:46Oh well. It's my fault for being so strict.
10:49That's not true.
10:52The ones who understand know that when you're strict, it's just your way of being kind.
10:57Kent...
10:59But have you ever heard of the carrot and stick method?
11:02I think it's good to be strict and tough, but a little kindness now and then won't hurt either.
11:08Yeah, I agree. I guess I was a bit extreme.
11:13And once you start being nice and sweet, people enjoy the difference between your tough side and your sweet side.
11:19I think a little compliment from you could really mean a lot to many of us workers here.
11:24I'll keep your advice in mind.
11:26Great. So feel free to pile on the compliments. I'm all for it.
11:31But you actually enjoy it when I'm strict with you, right?
11:35How did you come across that information?
11:38Anyways, let's go back to our office. I still have some work to do.
11:43Yes, let's do that.
11:45Thank you for helping me out again.
11:47Excuse me?
11:49It's nothing.
11:51Reina's changed a lot since then.
11:53She came off as a tough boss, but everyone started realizing she was actually a bit kind and strict at the same time.
12:00Reina, I have a question about this document.
12:03I think you should cut down on the words in this document to make it easier to read.
12:07But overall, it's looking great. Keep up the good work.
12:11Y-yes, ma'am.
12:14While that was happening, I'd still go over to Reina's place and do housekeeping gigs.
12:19But something's changed lately.
12:22Daddy! Give me a piggyback ride!
12:26I'll do that when I'm done cleaning here, so just hold on for a bit.
12:30Hey, Rin! You're making it hard for Ken to clean!
12:34No, I'm not!
12:36Daddy, tell her!
12:38I already told you he's not your daddy!
12:41Seriously, you're something else, Rin.
12:45Um, Reina, I think you're being really close.
12:50But Rin's always by your side too, you know.
12:53Uh, yes, but it's kinda hard to do the chores.
12:57You're the one who told me to be kind and sweet every now and then, right?
13:01All I was saying is that it wouldn't hurt to be nice at work sometimes, you know?
13:07And on another day.
13:09Daddy! I'm gonna go take the bath!
13:12Yeah, enjoy!
13:14Kent? Wanna hop in the tub with me?
13:17W-w-what are you talking about?
13:20I'm just joking!
13:24What's her deal? She's just messing with me.
13:29I used to go to Reina's place on weekends, but now, sometimes, I swing by after work to help with housework.
13:36I'm really in the mood for a meat dish today. Can you make your top one for us?
13:42Yeah, sure thing!
13:45Thanks!
13:46I never realized that Reina is such a sweetheart, and her smile is just so precious.
13:52Honestly, it just melts my heart!
13:55Rin also wanted me to hang out with her, not for work, but on my days off.
14:00Wow! Look at all these fishes, Daddy!
14:04Yeah, there's so many fishes here!
14:06Kent, look! There are jellyfish swimming around here, and they're gorgeous!
14:11Yeah, they are really pretty.
14:13Come to think of it, Reina doesn't even correct Rin when she calls me Daddy now.
14:18Nah, there's no need to read too much into it, right?
14:22I was helplessly falling for Reina's lead.
14:25Then, out of nowhere...
14:27Reina!
14:28Huh? W-what are you doing here?
14:31Reina? Who is he?
14:33He's my ex-husband.
14:35Say what?
14:37Hey, Reina! How about we start over again?
14:41What are you talking about? It's too late for that now!
14:44Look, Rin, it's been a while since I last saw you. It's me, your daddy!
14:49Y-you're not my daddy!
14:52Wha-I mean...
14:54Who the heck are you?
14:56Who I am doesn't matter.
14:58What does matter is that these two don't like what you're doing, so just leave them be, okay?
15:03What did you just say? You're an outsider, so don't meddle in our family affairs!
15:08No, I can't just do that, because...
15:11You're not Rin's dad anymore, and you're not my husband!
15:15R-Reina...
15:17W-what are you talking about?
15:19Yeah, we broke up once, but we can totally give it another shot.
15:23I've given up gambling, and I'm gonna be there for Rin from now on, so please!
15:28No! It's not gonna happen!
15:31I'm not willing to give it another shot. It's a firm no from me.
15:35R-Reina!
15:37I can't do it! We already have someone else who is special to us.
15:42I-is it him?
15:44D-don't be ridiculous! Rin is my daughter!
15:48Nothing beats family ties, and blood is thicker than water!
15:52That's not true at all. Rin and him have a stronger trust than you and Rin, so just go home and never show up around us ever again!
16:02Who do you think you are? Don't even think about messing with me!
16:07L-look out!
16:09He cut it out! Don't hurt mommy and daddy!
16:13Rin...
16:14W-what are you talking about, Rin? I'm your daddy, right? I'm your...
16:19No you're not! My daddy is Kent, not you!
16:24A-are you serious?
16:26Hey, come quick! There's a big argument going on over here!
16:32Then, Reina's ex-husband got arrested by the cops after a neighbor called them.
16:37Thank goodness he didn't lay a finger on his daughter. Are you both feeling okay?
16:42Yeah, I'm fine. Because you had my back.
16:45And Rin, you also looked out for me too. Thank you.
16:50Yep! I only look out for the people I love!
16:54You're one strong girl!
16:58A few hours later. Rin totally passed out, huh?
17:02Yeah, she's just overwhelmed. We've been dealing with a lot today.
17:07Yeah, you're right.
17:09Um, first of all, thank you.
17:13Don't mention it. There's no need to thank me.
17:16I'm not just saying thanks for today. You actually saved me a while back.
17:21I did?
17:22Yeah. I think that was back when you had just started out the company, Kent.
17:28I wonder why Reina is always giving off such a cold vibe.
17:32Yeah, I'm curious too.
17:34She's probably taking out her stress on us, right? I think I'm spot on with that guess.
17:40Nope, not buying it. I mean, what she's saying makes sense, and honestly, she's a big help to me.
17:47But...
17:48Reina isn't as awful as people make her out to be, in my opinion.
17:55You've always had my back since back then.
17:58You helped me out countless times, and I'll never forget it.
18:02You've been in my thoughts since then.
18:04And I just love how genuine you are in everything you do.
18:08Reina!
18:10Oh, that's why you showed my photo to Rin and Rin began to say that I'm her daddy.
18:16Well, that's part of it, but... remember?
18:21That one time I brought Rin to the company.
18:25Oh yeah, I totally remember that. Brings back memories, huh?
18:29Rin was like a little baby at that time, right?
18:33Yeah. Akira and I just broke up at that time, and I couldn't find anyone to look after Rin.
18:39I got permission from the company, but I was scared of causing trouble for everyone.
18:43I was really impressed by how you took care of Rin without showing any signs of annoyance.
18:48That's because Rin was like an angel.
18:53So I guess you fell in love with Rin first.
18:56But back then, I was thinking how great it would be if you were my husband.
19:01So every time I have a drink, I kept bringing up that company retreat photo,
19:05and apparently I've been calling you Rin's daddy since then.
19:09How embarrassing.
19:11Oh, don't stress. That's adorable.
19:15Hey! Stop teasing people who are older than you, alright?
19:19Sorry about that.
19:21So, I want to make sure I tell you exactly how I feel.
19:29I love you, Kent.
19:31Reina, I love you too.
19:33You pretend to be all strong, but you secretly crave attention, and you're sweet and cute.
19:40We didn't need that last bit.
19:43Actually, that last bit is the most important thing I wanted to tell you.
19:48Geez, you think you're so clever.
19:52A few months have passed since then.
19:54Reina is totally popular at the company now.
19:57It seems that the carrot and stick method has been working well for her,
20:01and everyone digs her.
20:03And I'm putting more effort into work every day.
20:06Oh, and one more thing.
20:08We moved in together, and...
20:11You're going to marry me, aren't you, daddy?
20:14Huh?
20:15No, Rin. He's going to marry me.
20:18No, that's not fair.
20:20Mommy, you can't marry him.
20:23Listen, I'm not letting go of Kent even if you're my daughter and I love you.
20:30Daddy is mine.
20:32No, he's not.
20:33Hey, you guys, that really hurts.
20:37Looks like I have no choice.
20:39We'll just have to figure out how to share you between us.
20:42Huh? Share me between you guys?
20:46Yep, that's right.
20:48Wait, what do you mean?
20:51Ready, set, go!
20:57Oh, you're blushing, daddy.
21:01You're right, Rin. He's super red.
21:04Y-you guys...
