00:00Oh, I see. I'm really sorry about that.
00:06Tobe! I hope she's okay.
00:11I'm Yuito Hata, a 27-year-old employee working in the sales department at Nanakuma Trading.
00:19Work is fulfilling, but I'm so busy that it's not uncommon for me to have both lunch and dinner at my desk.
00:28Hey, Hata! Do you have the credit check documents for that client from the other day?
00:34Sorry about that. I forgot to return them.
00:37I thought so. I'll put them back after I use them.
00:41Sorry, and thank you.
00:44That's Hisada, a senior who's three years older than me.
00:49He's a kind and dependable mentor who often covers for my mistakes.
00:55Um, about Tobe...
00:58Is something wrong with her?
01:02I just got a call from Rokutora, and I answered it.
01:06It seems there was a mistake regarding the delivery date. They were really upset.
01:11Seriously?
01:13Yeah, they asked to speak with Tobe, so I transferred the call.
01:17But it's been 30 minutes, and she's still on the phone.
01:2130 minutes? Must be bad.
01:26Well, I'm sure she'll be fine.
01:29Are you sure?
01:31Just look at her!
01:34Since he said that, I stood up and looked over at her.
01:38She's seriously apologizing on the phone, but she's also handling another task on her computer.
01:44What?
01:46It doesn't seem like a big deal. She's even jotting down notes from the call while doing all that! Pretty impressive!
01:53Wow.
01:56That multi-tasking woman over there is Mizuki Tobe.
02:01She's Kuda's peer and one of the salespeople who always has a lot on her plate.
02:07She's obviously super competent and always calmly handles her work. It's impressive.
02:13I've never once seen her show any weakness. I've heard our boss, the section chief, vent to her, but never the other way around.
02:24While I was admiring her, she noticed.
02:30If you've got time, go make me some coffee.
02:34I'll be right back!
02:36Yeah, thanks!
02:40She's amazing, but Hisada was cool too, just knowing she'd be fine.
02:48I need to become someone who can say that, or better yet, someone people say that about.
02:56Tobe and Kuda are who I look up to.
03:02When I brought the coffee over, she had just finished her call.
03:06Here's your coffee.
03:08Thanks.
03:11Huh? What's this?
03:14As soon as she took a sip, she glared at the cup.
03:18What? I'm so sorry!
03:21Why are you apologizing? I mean, it's really good.
03:26Oh, that's what you meant. Whew, that's a relief.
03:30I worked part-time at a cafe when I was in college, so I learned a few things.
03:35I see. Well, thanks.
03:39Make it again sometime.
03:41Sure!
03:43She complimented me, yes!
03:47Alright, I'm gonna work hard so she praises my work next!
03:53He's pretty good.
03:56A few weeks later, I was called in by my boss.
04:00Excuse me.
04:02Ah, have a seat.
04:04Yes, sir.
04:06You remember the announcement of the last meeting about starting a new project, right?
04:11Yes.
04:13We're thinking of having you join that project.
04:17What?
04:19But as you know, we have a lot on our plate right now, so you and Tobe will be the only ones handling it.
04:26I'm gonna be working with her?
04:30How about it? Can you take it on? If it's tough to manage with your other tasks, I'll do it! Please let me do it!
04:38Good to hear. By the way, on which project did you and Tobe get close?
04:44Huh? I wouldn't say we are particularly close or anything.
04:50Really? It was her recommendation, so I assumed...
04:56She recommended me?
04:59She must have seen your work and thought you were up for it. I'm counting on you. Do your best!
05:05Yes, sir!
05:09So that's how I ended up working on this project with the person I admire.
05:14Let's do our best!
05:17Yeah. So, right away.
05:20She started explaining the details of the new project. She's so calm and composed as usual.
05:29How's it going? Any questions?
05:32Uh...
05:34Don't be so nervous. The stuff I'm explaining will eventually be shared with the whole company.
05:39The questions you have now might be the same ones others will ask us later.
05:43Got it. Well, something I was wondering about is...
05:49When I asked my question, she explained it so clearly.
05:54She's really amazing.
05:57I've always thought she was impressive, but seeing her skills up close made me realize how much more I need to step up my game.
06:06Even though I joined the project, I couldn't hand off all my other tasks to someone else.
06:12That meant I had to work on the project after regular work hours.
06:17My eyes are getting blurry, but...
06:22I can't be a burden to her.
06:25I'm making coffee. Want some too?
06:28Thanks.
06:30She's so focused.
06:34Two weeks after the project started, I went with her to visit a client for the first time.
06:40You're doing great, Tobe.
06:44And who's this?
06:46Nice to meet you. I'm Hata.
06:50He's a young employee I have high hopes for. We're working on this project together.
06:55What? Oh, that's reassuring.
06:59It goes without saying that being introduced like that made me feel on top of the world.
07:07But then...
07:09Hata? Isn't this calculation wrong?
07:12What?
07:14I made a mistake that practically wiped out all the overtime I'd put in for weeks.
07:22I'm so sorry. What should I do?
07:25It's okay. Calm down.
07:28Yes.
07:30Let's fix this, then take a coffee break.
07:33Okay.
07:35She must be so disappointed in me.
07:39Sorry for the wait.
07:42Thanks.
07:45This is really good. Do you know why I recommended you?
07:49No, I don't.
07:53It's because of this. Your coffee is so good.
07:57What?
08:00You probably think that's a silly reason, right?
08:04But for a first project, anyone is bound to make mistakes.
08:08Yeah.
08:10But those mistakes help you grow.
08:13Did that happen to you, too?
08:16Oh, I made way bigger mistakes than this.
08:19I can't even imagine that.
08:23Since I knew we'd be working late and making mistakes,
08:27I wanted to work with someone who could make great coffee like you.
08:31I see. Hearing that, I felt a bit relieved.
08:37If there's one thing I'm good at, it's making coffee.
08:41I can help her out, too.
08:43From that point on, I was able to really throw myself into the work.
08:49But the new project was full of challenges.
08:53Ugh, I'm never going to finish this.
08:57I'm going to return these to the file room.
09:00Alright.
09:03She looks pretty tired.
09:05Ah!
09:06What? Tobei?
09:10Suddenly I heard a scream and ran over to find her collapsed in the file room next to the office.
09:18Are you okay?
09:20Her high heel is broken and her stockings are ripped.
09:24Tobei!
09:28I'm not okay.
09:30Huh?
09:34Those were my favorite heels, and my stockings were brand new, too.
09:40Um...
09:41I can't take it anymore. I'm completely exhausted.
09:46This was the first time I'd ever seen her admit she was worn out.
09:52Got it!
09:54Huh? What are you doing?
09:56Just hold on a moment!
09:58What?
10:01I'll be right back.
10:03I rushed to the convenience store to buy glue, stockings, and some snacks that would go well with coffee, then hurried back to the office.
10:13Sorry for the wait!
10:15Huh? You went out of your way to get these?
10:19Yes. I'll make some coffee now so you can change in the meantime.
10:27When I came back with the coffee, she was back to her usual self.
10:32Here you go.
10:36No problem.
10:39After moving around a bit, I feel more refreshed. I think I can push through a bit more.
10:45I'm sorry.
10:47Huh?
10:49I must have let you down, seeing me like this.
10:52Not at all.
10:56Honestly, I'm kind of a mess. On my days off, I just laze around at home, and my parents still worry about me.
11:04I can't even imagine you just lazing around.
11:08I just pretend to be a proper person at work. I wanted to keep up that image in front of you too, but...
11:17I'm not disappointed at all. If anything, I respect you even more now.
11:22Huh?
11:24It just means you're working really hard.
11:27I always thought you'd never made a mistake in your life, but hearing that you get tired and feel down sometimes yet you still keep things together at work, that's amazing.
11:37I'm really happy to be working with you.
11:42Is it okay if I'm like this? Can I be myself around you sometimes?
11:47Of course.
11:49Since that night, she started letting her guard down and showing her vulnerable side to me.
11:57My shoulders are so stiff. I don't even have time to go for a massage.
12:03I can massage your shoulders for you.
12:06Huh? Really? Oh, that feels so good.
12:11I'm glad. But still...
12:16It's finally time to present to the president. I'm getting nervous.
12:24Hey, do you prefer seafood or meat?
12:27Huh? Meat.
12:29Then once this project is wrapped up, let's go out for some barbecue.
12:33Yes!
12:37One day I saw her and Hisada having a serious conversation in a quiet hallway.
12:44What are they talking about?
12:47Hey, where are we staying after the wedding?
12:51I'd like to stay at a nice hotel.
12:55Wait, wedding?
12:57The project will be finished by then, right?
13:00Yeah, that's the plan. But maybe we should let Hata know beforehand?
13:06I quietly walked away from the scene.
13:10After work that day, she told me there was something she wanted to talk about.
13:17Actually, I...
13:19Oh, you're getting married, right? Congratulations!
13:23I couldn't really smile. I realized I'd fallen for her.
13:30Huh?
13:32I overheard you talking with Hisada. Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop.
13:38That's fine, but do you realize what kind of face you're making right now?
13:42Huh?
13:44You look like a guy who just got his heart broken.
13:48What? I instinctively covered my face with my hands.
13:53If you make that face, it makes me want to get my hopes up.
13:58Huh?
14:00I'm not the one getting married.
14:03What?
14:07A former co-worker who switched jobs is getting married.
14:10Hisada was invited too, so we were just discussing some things.
14:14It's a destination wedding, so we'll be staying overnight.
14:17That's why I wanted to let you know that I planned to finish the project by then.
14:23Oh, I see.
14:26I'm just relieved. Does he really care about me that much?
14:32A month later, the project was successfully completed.
14:36Good job, Hada.
14:38Thank you for all the things you taught me.
14:42With the project done, I guess we won't talk as much anymore.
14:48Hey, why don't you come over tonight?
14:51Huh?
14:53I've got something nice prepared just for you.
14:56Hearing that, of course my expectations went through the roof.
15:02Eat as much as you want.
15:04Sure.
15:06She had ordered some really nice meat just for our promised dinner.
15:11I'm happy about that, but...
15:16She's definitely drunk.
15:19This is the first time I've seen her like this.
15:22She never got drunk without eating or drinking much.
15:28You really have a surprising side to you.
15:31What do you mean?
15:33I just think you're amazing.
15:36Even though I'm this drunk?
15:39Yeah, but you're still beautiful, which is pretty amazing.
15:45You know, I only show this side of me to you.
15:49Huh?
15:51What?
15:55I actually wanted to confess to you properly, but I got nervous and drank too fast, and now I'm drunk.
16:03That's too cute.
16:05I like you too.
16:09Even like this?
16:11I like every side of you.
16:14I'm so happy.
16:17The senior I admired wasn't exactly who I thought she was.
16:21She was even more hardworking, adorable, and kind than I imagined.
16:27And now, I want to cherish her forever.
