00:00:00John is a total loser rookie who finally managed to land a job.

00:00:03However, his boring corporate life takes a wild turn when his smoking-hot boss accidentally falls in love with him.

00:00:08Now, she'll do absolutely anything to make this clueless guy fall head over heels for her.

00:00:12It all started with Isusa marching towards her office building with her juggling juggernauts.

00:00:17Soon, Isusa makes it inside the publicity department.

00:00:20Just then, a co-worker named Minori approaches Isusa with a problem, but she gives her a solution as if

00:00:24it was nothing.

00:00:25She then turns her attention to this limpy noodle, Kasuke, while simultaneously scolding him for the messy state of his

00:00:30desk.

00:00:31While their co-workers admire how reliable Isusa is, Kasuke and a few others quietly admit that she can be

00:00:36pretty intimidating.

00:00:37Suddenly, the department head, Eiji, calls Isusa over to share some news.

00:00:41He informs her that a new hire is joining the team and that he wants her to be the one

00:00:45to train him.

00:00:46Isusa accepts the task with a polite smile, but on the inside, she's actually quite miserable about the situation.

00:00:51A few moments later, the new guy, John, arrives with an energetic greeting.

00:00:54When he's introduced to Isusa, she greets him with her usual icy demeanor, even though she is secretly thinking about

00:00:59how handsome he looks.

00:01:00She manages to keep her emotions hidden, vowing to do her best as a mentor, despite her total lack of

00:01:05social skills.

00:01:06She then takes John to the merchandising room, explaining how the company branched out from game development into real estate

00:01:11and apparel.

00:01:12She also gives him a rapid-fire tour of the office, showing him everything from the copy machine to the

00:01:16snack area,

00:01:17and walks away feeling like she's given a perfect orientation.

00:01:20However, Isusa soon realizes she got so caught up in the tour that she completely forgot to tell John what

00:01:25his actual job duties are.

00:01:28When he sheepishly points this out, Isusa quickly pivots and tells him he'll be sniffing her bodily fluids in an

00:01:33upcoming business meeting.

00:01:34Before they head out, Isusa decides they need to practice exchanging business cards.

00:01:38He tries to demonstrate the proper technique, but in her nerves, she fumbles with her cardholder and sends her cards

00:01:43flying across the floor.

00:01:44This makes her freeze in embarrassment, but John quickly gathers them up and hands them back with a smile.

00:01:48They then move on to the actual meeting with clients, and while Isusa looks like a seasoned professional on the

00:01:53outside,

00:01:54she's secretly fighting a battle with her own nerves because she can feel John watching her every move.

00:01:59The meeting is mentally exhausting for her, and once it's over, John praises her for being so professional, which only

00:02:04adds to her inner stress.

00:02:05Later that afternoon, Isusa thinks about inviting him out to a nice restaurant, but her social anxiety starts to spiral.

00:02:11She begins to worry that inviting a subordinate to lunch might be seen as creepy,

00:02:14and then she starts panicking over what kind of small talk they would even have.

00:02:17This internal conflict makes her look distressed, and in a moment of pure panic,

00:02:21she tells John she has another meeting and flees the scene,

00:02:24sighing over the fact that she can't even handle a simple lunch invitation.

00:02:27Moments later, John stops by her desk to say goodbye and thanks her for her help,

00:02:30admitting he was really nervous about his first day.

00:02:32Isusa manages to give him some genuine encouragement,

00:02:36telling him it's okay to make mistakes and that he can always rely on her.

00:02:38But when she walks home, she realizes that she spent more time worrying about her own image

00:02:42than actually focusing on how John was feeling.

00:02:45The next day, Isusa vows to do better,

00:02:48but while greeting her co-workers, she coldly tells people to move out of her way

00:02:51so her dumpers can reach her desk without any collision.

00:02:54In her mind, she's being friendly, but to everyone else, she's just as scary as ever.

00:02:58Later, she assigns John a project involving a manga studio

00:03:00and gives him some of her past work to use as a reference.

00:03:03She decides that today is the day she will definitely take him to lunch, but she ends up being too

00:03:07late.

00:03:07By the time she gathers her courage, John is already back at his desk with a cup of instant noodles.

00:03:11Isusa immediately scolds him for eating something so unhealthy,

00:03:14but her mood drops when John explains he's just trying to stick to a budget.

00:03:18Now, Isusa goes to a diner alone, feeling like a total failure as a mentor,

00:03:21while remembering how her own senior used to take her out for encouraging meals.

00:03:25While she's eating, Isusa gets a call from her former mentor, Ritsu.

00:03:28They discuss some upcoming projects, and Ritsu eventually teases her about having a mentee of her own.

00:03:33He warns her that younger employees these days won't hesitate to quit if they feel unsupported,

00:03:37which sends Isusa into another panic.

00:03:39He suggests she read some self-help books,

00:03:41and on her way home, she buys several books on communication and mentorship.

00:03:44That night, Isusa finds herself eating the same cup noodles she scolded John for,

00:03:48all while practicing friendly smiles in a mirror like a Japanese Jeffrey Epstein.

00:03:52The result is so unsettling that she eventually gives up, feeling like she isn't cut out for the job.

00:03:56The following day, Isusa gets up late and has to rush to work.

00:03:59She makes it in time and acts like everything is fine,

00:04:02but her day takes a dark turn when she overhears some co-workers gossiping about how she has zero social

00:04:06skills

00:04:07and is only respected because she's good at her job.

00:04:09The comments hurt so much that she drops her tablet,

00:04:11which reveals all the sticky notes she made about how to talk to people.

00:04:14John sees the tablet and the hurt expression on her face,

00:04:17but before things can get even more awkward, he steps in.

00:04:20He walks over to the gossiping co-workers and tells them how lucky he feels to be working under Isusa,

00:04:24mentioning that he's already seen her kind side.

00:04:26At this point, the co-workers are mortified that they were caught,

00:04:29but Isusa whispers a tiny thank you to John.

00:04:31Oh my god! Okay, it's happening!

00:04:33A few days later, Isusa is commanding an important business meeting,

00:04:36discussing a new game project called Racing Girls.

00:04:39Her plan involves a made cafe event where the game's characters will be brought to life by staff in costume,

00:04:44while the cafe's interior will be transformed to mirror the game's actual map.

00:04:48As she speaks, John watches from the sidelines like P. Diddy,

00:04:51completely struck by how composed and authoritative she appears.

00:04:53Once the presentation wraps up, Isusa shifts back into mentor mode.

00:04:57She tells John that he'll be working on this project alongside her,

00:05:00and hands him a stack of documents to complete.

00:05:02She then tries to leave the building with her usual air of mystery,

00:05:05intending to finally invite him to lunch,

00:05:07but her cool exit is immediately ruined when she scans the wrong card at the security gate and gets rejected.

00:05:12Back at the office, the focus shifts to the Racing Girls game itself.

00:05:15Isusa notices John playing it and confirms that she also plays,

00:05:18claiming it's strictly for market research, even though she secretly is a gaming gooner.

00:05:22Seeing him struggle with the race, she decides this is the perfect opportunity to show off her expertise.

00:05:26Having been a former game tester, she's confident she can master the mobile version easily,

00:05:30but the transition from a controller to a smartphone proves more difficult than she anticipated.

00:05:35She gets so into the race that she starts physically leaning and swaying with every turn,

00:05:39eventually losing her balance and falling right off the couch.

00:05:42To save face after such a clumsy display, she insists on a rematch in multiplayer mode,

00:05:46though she spends the rest of the afternoon feeling like she failed to look like a reliable senior.

00:05:50Around lunchtime, Isusa tries to find the right moment to ask John out,

00:05:53but every time she works up the courage, she gets distracted by a co-worker.

00:05:57She feels a brief pang of jealousy when she hears another colleague invite John to lunch,

00:06:00but she's secretly relieved when he turns the offer down because he brought his own meal.

00:06:04When Isusa finally returns to her desk, she catches him pulling out a humble cup of instant noodles.

00:06:08Learning that he's on a strict budget to save money,

00:06:11Isusa decides to take charge and announces that she's treating him to a meal.

00:06:14She brushes off his attempts to decline by insisting that, as his mentor,

00:06:17it's her job to ensure he has a thunderously firm sausage.

00:06:20At the restaurant, Isusa feels a quiet sense of victory for finally making the lunch date happen.

00:06:25She's so lost in thought about how her own mentor once trained her,

00:06:28that she doesn't even notice John performing the standard junior duties,

00:06:31like setting out napkins and water, which were things she had planned to teach him herself.

00:06:34However, the mood shifts when their food arrives, and she sees that John only ordered a small salad.

00:06:39Isusa immediately scolds him for his poor diet and dumps a large portion of her own steak onto his plate.

00:06:44When she asks why he's being so frugal, John admits he spent his money on an expensive model kit.

00:06:49But instead of judging him, Isusa relates to his passion for hobbies like a classic anime dork,

00:06:54though she uses the moment to remind him that health should always come first.

00:06:58She even makes a mental note to stop staying up all night for her own gaming marathons.

00:07:01But later that night, Isusa ignores her own advice and stays up for hours mastering the mobile version of Racing

00:07:06Girls,

00:07:07just so she can be a better teacher for John.

00:07:08She ends up eating the same instant noodles she scolded him for,

00:07:11realizing she's just as guilty of poor habits as he is.

00:07:14The next morning, she arrives at the office exhausted but determined to be more approachable.

00:07:18She tells John that he should feel free to ask her questions at any time.

00:07:21But when he politely says he's doing fine, Isusa drips gravy of sadness.

00:07:25She then spends the afternoon hovering around him and trying to look available,

00:07:28yet he never reaches out for help.

00:07:30At this point, Isusa starts getting insecure, especially after she overhears her co-workers gossiping about her.

00:07:35They tell John that Isusa is a total loner who hates social gatherings and never joins the team for drinks.

00:07:40Hearing this, she flees to a nearby park to eat her lunch, like a convicted felon.

00:07:43Isusa continues to work on her phone and John happens to walk by with the other co-workers.

00:07:47As he watches her from a distance, he is impressed by Isusa's dedication, even during her lunch break.

00:07:52Later that day, Isusa notices that John is still at his desk, grinding away on the proposal.

00:07:57Although she starts to leave, guilt pulls her back,

00:07:59and she makes up an excuse about forgetting some tasks just so she can stay and support him.

00:08:03As the hours pass and the last train approaches, John finally opens up to her.

00:08:06He tells her how much he admires her work ethic and her past proposals,

00:08:09admitting that he's working this hard because he wants to create something that will make her proud.

00:08:13The sincerity of his words catches Isusa completely off guard, and her eyes begin to fill with tears.

00:08:18In a rare moment of vulnerability, Isusa tells him that he's already doing a better job than she did when

00:08:23she was a noob.

00:08:24When John mentions that he knows she usually prefers to be alone,

00:08:26she impulsively blurts out that she actually enjoyed having lunch with him, and didn't find it a burden at all.

00:08:31Realizing she's being a bit too honest,

00:08:33she turns red like a traffic light and orders him to get back to work to hide her embarrassment.

00:08:37However, by the time they finish their work, it's so late that they have to call a taxi.

00:08:41John is so exhausted that he falls asleep on her shoulder,

00:08:44and shockingly, Isusa drapes her own coat over him and wraps her scarf around his neck,

00:08:48smiling to herself as she finally feels like she's beginning to bridge the gap between them.

00:08:51Let's go!

00:08:52A few days later, the office is expecting a celebration,

00:08:55as one of their co-workers is getting married.

00:08:57While everyone else seems excited, the news hits Isusa with a wave of dread,

00:09:00as the concept of marriage reminds her of the relentless pressure she's been getting,

00:09:04from her mother to settle down.

00:09:06To make things more complicated, their boss decides to combine this wedding celebration

00:09:10with a welcome party for John.

00:09:12He puts John in charge of the planning to help him learn the ropes of entertaining guests,

00:09:16and tasks Isusa with guiding him through the process of picking a venue and a gift.

00:09:20While Isusa accepts the responsibility, she's secretly panicking,

00:09:23because her introverted lifestyle means she hasn't attended a wedding in years

00:09:27and has no idea what's considered appropriate.

00:09:29Trying to maintain her cool persona,

00:09:31Isusa takes John to a luxury goods store to begin their search.

00:09:34She lectures him on how gift-giving is a vital social skill,

00:09:37all while frantically scrolling through her phone to figure out what people actually buy for weddings.

00:09:42However, her research is interrupted when a pair of dumb and disgusting-looking cat-themed mugs catches her eye.

00:09:48She's clearly attracted by them, but when John suddenly moves closer to get a better look,

00:09:53Isusa fumbles the mug and watches in horror as it shatters on the floor.

00:09:57Immediately, she starts spiraling into self-deprecation,

00:09:59but John handles the situation with maturity.

00:10:02He insists on buying the remaining set himself, claiming he genuinely likes the design.

00:10:06Even though Isusa feels like she's the one who should be paying for her own mistake,

00:10:10John makes the purchase before she can even make her argument.

00:10:13Moments later, the two stop for a coffee break,

00:10:15with blood pumping through their private parts.

00:10:17Seeing her mentor always drink black coffee made her believe that doing the same would make her look sophisticated,

00:10:22so she ordered a cup of plain black coffee despite her own tastes.

00:10:25On the other hand, John is perfectly comfortable admitting he likes his coffee with plenty of sugar.

00:10:30As soon as Isusa takes a sip, the overwhelming bitterness nearly sends her into a frenzy.

00:10:34She eventually has to cave and ask John to bring her cream and sugar,

00:10:37feeling like she completely embarrassed herself in front of her junior

00:10:40by trying to act more mature than she actually is.

00:10:43To change the subject, they start looking for a party venue on their phones.

00:10:46During the conversation, Isusa finds herself wondering if John is much of a drinker.

00:10:51When she finally asks him, she's thrilled to learn that he isn't particularly fond of alcohol either.

00:10:55This shared trait makes her feel much more at ease,

00:10:57and she explains that drinking is only enjoyable when you're with people who make you feel comfortable.

00:11:01She promises to attend the party specifically because it's for him,

00:11:04but when John admits he'd like to have a real drink with her someday,

00:11:08Isusa's defense mechanisms go into overdrive.

00:11:10She blunts the moment by saying she's not sharing her kitty with his sausage,

00:11:14a comment she instantly regrets the second it leaves her mouth.

00:11:17The next day, the guilt over her cold response still weighs on her.

00:11:20However, her mood shifts when she finds one of the cat mugs from the store sitting on her desk.

00:11:25John explains that since he only needs one, he wanted her to have the other as a thank you gift.

00:11:29Flustered and touched, Isusa tries to hide her emotions by claiming she'll only use it as a toothbrush holder,

00:11:34but it's clear she's going to put it inside her that night.

00:11:37Later, the office party officially kicks off,

00:11:40and Isusa keeps her opening toast short and slightly cynical to hide her nerves.

00:11:44As she settles in next to the bride-to-be and her boss,

00:11:47she tries to remain professional,

00:11:48but her eyes are constantly drifting toward John to make sure he's okay.

00:11:52When she notices a senior co-worker named Koro pressuring John to drink,

00:11:55Isusa's protective instincts take over.

00:11:57She marches over, grabs John's drink, and downs it in one gulp,

00:12:01declaring that she needs to test anything her mentee is given.

00:12:04This bold move gets the social gears turning,

00:12:06and before she knows it, Isusa is actually socializing with the group.

00:12:10Unfortunately, she's not used to alcohol, and she soon finds herself feeling unwell.

00:12:15She then tries to leave quietly, but when the co-workers refuse to let John leave with her,

00:12:19she has to get creative.

00:12:20She re-enters the room with a stern face,

00:12:22lying about a dissatisfied client call that John needs to help her handle immediately.

00:12:26The sneaky little brat understands the game, and the two make a clean escape.

00:12:30As they walk home together, Isusa apologizes for dragging him away and for the scene she caused.

00:12:34They take a seat on a bench, and Isusa finally asks if he thinks she's a scary mentor.

00:12:39Surprisingly, John tells her that he's never found her scary.

00:12:42In fact, he reveals that they actually met before his official interview.

00:12:46Back then, he was a nervous wreck in the hallway,

00:12:48and a stranger, who he now realizes was Isusa,

00:12:51told him to take deep breaths and just treat the interview as a way to get to know the company.

00:12:54Hearing this, Isusa's heart softens, and she playfully agrees that maybe they could share a drink together one day.

00:13:00However, this weird little creepy interaction is cut short when the alcohol kicks in,

00:13:04and Isusa nearly collapses, forcing John to help her the rest of the way home.

00:13:09The following morning at the office, Isusa notices a faint lipstick stain on John's shirt,

00:13:13and immediately jumps to the conclusion that he penetrated someone last night.

00:13:16The thought of him having a girlfriend makes her furious, and she demands an explanation.

00:13:20A very flustered John explains that the stain didn't come from some secret girlfriend.

00:13:25It came from her while he was struggling to help her into a taxi the night before.

00:13:28Hearing this, Isusa's face turns bright red,

00:13:31and in a state of pure mortification,

00:13:32she actually tries to start unbuttoning his shirt right there in the office to go buy him a new one.

00:13:37However, this chaotic scene is interrupted by their boss,

00:13:40who calls them both into his office with a surprising proposal.

00:13:43He wants the two of them to head to Okinawa for a business trip during the upcoming Golden Week.

00:13:47During the flight to Okinawa, Isusa takes a moment to remind John that their itinerary is packed with responsibilities.

00:13:53Rather than being intimidated, John offers a self-assured grin,

00:13:56pledging to sacrifice his nightly sausage-stroking action for the job.

00:14:00Just then, Isusa's attention quickly shifts to the window,

00:14:02where she finds herself captivated by the ocean below.

00:14:05Once they touch down, a representative from the company meets them,

00:14:08explaining that the entire production crew will be traveling to the filming site together.

00:14:12The drive is filled with energetic conversation among the staff,

00:14:15but John stays focused, diligently reviewing his notes.

00:14:18Isusa watches him quietly, noting his dedication until they finally reach their destination.

00:14:22The production begins almost immediately,

00:14:24as Nashiko, the featured model, quickly finds her flow,

00:14:27making the entire process look effortless.

00:14:29As John handles the behind-the-scenes recording,

00:14:32he checks with Isusa to see if he is permitted to film during the crew's downtime.

00:14:35She confirms that the necessary permissions are in place,

00:14:38but cautions him to always notify anyone who might end up on camera.

00:14:41John is somewhat perplexed to see that Isusa has also changed into a swimsuit,

00:14:45displaying her honkers, as he assumed only the model would be dressed that way.

00:14:49Isusa explains with a touch of pride that she didn't want Nashiko to feel isolated or awkward

00:14:53being the only one in swimwear, so she joined in to maintain a sense of professional solidarity.

00:14:57John, feeling a bit flustered, suggests that such a gesture wasn't really required

00:15:01since swimsuit modeling is simply part of Nashiko's professional duties.

00:15:04When he sees Isusa's face fall with a hint of embarrassment,

00:15:07he immediately backtracks, confessing that he isn't well-versed in the social norms of swimwear photoshoots.

00:15:12Suddenly, a sharp gust of wind catches Nashiko's hat and sends it flying into the ocean.

00:15:17Isusa reacts instantly, diving into the water to save the accessory.

00:15:21She then emerges victorious, holding the hat up with a triumphant smile for the crew to see.

00:15:25Back on the beach, she hands the hat to an assistant,

00:15:28and John quickly steps forward to offer her a towel.

00:15:31Isusa declines, preferring to air dry in the sun while remarking that her choice to wear a swimsuit

00:15:35had actually proven to be quite practical.

00:15:37Caught up in the moment, John claims he'll make sure to wear a swimsuit himself

00:15:41the next time they have a similar shoot.

00:15:42Realizing she might have sounded like a creep earlier,

00:15:45Isusa suddenly becomes self-conscious.

00:15:47At that moment, a male staff member approaches her,

00:15:50raining down compliments on her massive unga-bungas.

00:15:52When the man attempts to touch her arm,

00:15:54John feels a surge of protective instinct and makes a loud noise to disrupt the interaction.

00:15:59Taking advantage of the sudden attention,

00:16:01John nervously claims he needs to check on Nashiko during her break.

00:16:04The staff member apologizes and leaves to get drinks for everyone,

00:16:07and once he is gone,

00:16:08Isusa gives John a playful, appreciative tap on the arm for intervening.

00:16:11As the day continues, the team moves through various scenic spots.

00:16:15John is constantly on the move,

00:16:16recording footage and assisting wherever he can,

00:16:18while Isusa stays close by to ensure he is integrating well with the rest of the crew.

00:16:22By sunset, the physical toll of the day catches up with John,

00:16:26and as he rests, Isusa presses a chilled water bottle against his face.

00:16:29Worried about dehydration, she encourages him to drink,

00:16:31watching him with a fond expression while praising his work ethic.

00:16:35Caught off guard by her own candidness,

00:16:37her face flushes red,

00:16:38and she quickly makes an excuse to leave after telling him to finish the water.

00:16:41Later that evening, the atmosphere is vibrant as the team celebrates their productive first day.

00:16:46The staff credits Isusa for her organizational skills and thanks John for his helpfulness.

00:16:51The mood shifts when performers begin playing traditional music,

00:16:54signaling the start of a dance.

00:16:55The performers invite the crew to join in,

00:16:57explaining a routine where the men perform rock movements and the women perform paper movements.

00:17:02While the rest of the team jumps in eagerly,

00:17:04Isusa is paralyzed by shyness and tries to decline.

00:17:06To support her, John jumps into the dance with high energy,

00:17:09even though he looks like a jelly dog now shuffling inside a garbage truck.

00:17:12Inspired by her junior's bravery,

00:17:14Isusa casts aside her hesitation and joins him.

00:17:16Seeing her dance beside him brings a wide smile to John's face,

00:17:19and soon the whole team is moving together.

00:17:21At this point, John finds himself struck by how radiant Isusa looks when she is truly enjoying herself.

00:17:26Back at the hotel, a physically drained John reflects on his complicated feelings for Isusa,

00:17:31just when his thoughts are interrupted by a knock at the door.

00:17:33It turns out to be Isusa,

00:17:35carrying skin treatments because she noticed John has a severe sunburn.

00:17:39John realizes he completely neglected to use sunscreen,

00:17:41and Isusa gives him a firm lecture.

00:17:43She reminds him that since they are promoting a sunscreen brand,

00:17:46it's important to lead by example.

00:17:48However, seeing his dejected face,

00:17:50she softens her tone and explains that the sun's rays are particularly intense in this region.

00:17:54The second day of the trip takes them to a lush field under a bright sky.

00:17:58The theme shifts from the beach to the urban city of Okinawa,

00:18:01including a visit to a local shrine where Nishiko draws a fortune for the camera.

00:18:04After wrapping up the final shots at the beach,

00:18:06the project officially concludes.

00:18:08Isusa announces that the crew is free to spend the afternoon however they wish.

00:18:12While the team is excited to explore, Isusa feels conflicted.

00:18:15She wants to invite John to see the sights with her,

00:18:17but is afraid of being seen as a Japanese P-ditty.

00:18:20Before she can decide, a staff member suggests the entire group go sightseeing together.

00:18:25Both John and Isusa are stunned by the proposal.

00:18:27Isusa, already feeling socially drained from the trip,

00:18:30panics at the thought of more group activities, but feels obligated to agree.

00:18:34Sensing her discomfort,

00:18:35John steps in and tells the group he wants to use the free time

00:18:37to brainstorm ideas for their upcoming collaboration cafe project.

00:18:41Relieved to have a way out, Isusa agrees to help him work,

00:18:44and the two head off on their own.

00:18:45Once they are away from the group, Isusa thanks John for the rescue.

00:18:48They decide to go cafe hopping to research ideas.

00:18:52They first visit a peaceful, traditional shop,

00:18:55where tea is served in handmade clay vessels like some wild animals.

00:18:58From there, they move to a spot famous for massive, elaborate desserts,

00:19:02watching in awe as a nearby table receives an enormous ice cream.

00:19:06However, their journey ends at a cafe with a stunning view of the ocean at dusk.

00:19:10Though John tries to focus on his notes,

00:19:12he finds himself distracted by the sight of Isusa looking out at the water,

00:19:15wondering if he can rest his sausage inside her mouth.

00:19:18On the walk back, John feels incredibly satisfied with how they spent their time,

00:19:23noting the unique atmosphere of Okinawan cafes compared to Tokyo.

00:19:26Isusa is equally impressed by John's dedication,

00:19:29noting that he never once complained about working during his time off.

00:19:32However, their return to the hotel brings a major complication.

00:19:36The front desk informs them that only one room was booked for the two of them.

00:19:39It turns out that Minori, who handled the arrangements,

00:19:42mistakenly reserved a single room with twin beds, with the holiday rush.

00:19:45Making it impossible to find another room, Isusa decides they will just have to make it work.

00:19:50While taking a bath, Isusa worries about the awkwardness of sharing a room,

00:19:54remembering a similar time she had to share with her mentor.

00:19:56When she exits the bathroom, she finds John packing his bags.

00:19:59He offers to spend the night at a manga cafe so she can have the room to herself,

00:20:03but Isusa stops him.

00:20:04She insists that he shouldn't have to leave, sharing the story of how her mentor made a similar situation fun

00:20:09in the past.

00:20:09To break the tension, she pulls out her phone and challenges John to a mobile racing game.

00:20:14The two end up spending the night surrounded by snacks, laughing, and playing round after round.

00:20:18John notices that Isusa is struggling because she isn't using her turbo boosts,

00:20:22and he takes a moment to teach her the mechanics with a rock-solid flagpole in his pants.

00:20:26However, her excitement and proximity make him blush,

00:20:29which she playfully attributes to another sunburn.

00:20:32As John goes to get more drinks,

00:20:34he realizes the ache in his chest is actually jealousy over the admiration Isusa holds for her mentor.

00:20:39They then play the game until sunrise,

00:20:41and despite nearly missing their flight the next morning, John heads home feeling happy.

00:20:45A few days later, Isusa's morning routine is interrupted by news reports of a powerful typhoon approaching the region.

00:20:50Despite the official advice to stay indoors,

00:20:52Isusa realizes that several critical tasks for the sunscreen PR project require her presence at the office.

00:20:57She hesitates over whether to ask John to come in,

00:21:00feeling it might be unfair to make a newcomer commute in such dangerous weather.

00:21:04However, his assistance is vital for the upcoming meeting.

00:21:07Her mind briefly wanders back to the joy of their Okinawa trip before she pulls herself together,

00:21:12gathering her rain gear and heading out.

00:21:13In her haste to ensure they can both finish early and beat the worst of the storm,

00:21:17she ironically forgets her umbrella.

00:21:19Upon arriving at the office,

00:21:20Isusa is startled to find John already there with his rock-solid biological rod.

00:21:24She masks her surprise with professional instructions.

00:21:27Emphasizing that they must work efficiently to avoid being stranded by the typhoon.

00:21:31As they settle in, the atmosphere feels remarkably different with only the two of them present.

00:21:35While the silence is comfortable, Isusa finds herself feeling self-conscious.

00:21:39She tries to remind herself that they have already shared close quarters during their trip,

00:21:43but the thought only makes her more flustered.

00:21:45She catches him glancing at her while she uses the cat-themed mug he gave her,

00:21:48making her almost leak fluids out of her legs.

00:21:51When they finally finish their preparations, the weather has taken a turn for the worse.

00:21:54Looking out at the downpour outside,

00:21:57Isusa expresses concern that John's shoes will be ruined since they aren't waterproof.

00:22:01However, John notices her stylish rain boots and offers a sincere compliment,

00:22:04which compels Isusa to give a shy smile.

00:22:07But she hides her embarrassment by lecturing him on the importance of proper business rain gear

00:22:11before they head out.

00:22:12Once they reach the building's exit, the severity of the storm becomes clear.

00:22:16Isusa is forced to admit she forgot her umbrella, feeling foolish for lecturing John earlier.

00:22:20But John immediately offers her his sturdy umbrella, claiming he has a smaller collapsible one in his bag.

00:22:25As they walk through the storm, Isusa is relatively protected by the larger umbrella,

00:22:29but she notices John battling the wind with his umbrella from Temu,

00:22:33which keeps buckling under the pressure.

00:22:35She suggests they swap, but John stubbornly refuses,

00:22:38insisting on pushing forward despite being mostly in the rain.

00:22:41Eventually, Isusa moves closer to shield them both,

00:22:43arguing that it would be unprofessional for him to arrive at the client's office completely soaked.

00:22:47When John takes the handle to hold it for both of them,

00:22:50his hand briefly brushes hers, making her even more moist downstairs.

00:22:53In such close proximity, she becomes acutely aware of his height

00:22:57and the fact that he is intentionally tilting the umbrella to keep her dry,

00:23:01even at the cost of his own shoulder getting drenched.

00:23:03At the client's office, the atmosphere is apologetic due to the weather, but Isusa remains professional.

00:23:08She leads the presentation of the cafe merchandise,

00:23:11letting John take the lead on the technical details regarding the menu

00:23:14and the integration of the latest game updates.

00:23:16Watching him work, she is once again impressed by his competence.

00:23:19However, she still feels a lingering sense of guilt for needing to rely on him

00:23:23because of her own forgetfulness.

00:23:25The return trip to the office is no easier.

00:23:28Despite Isusa buying a new umbrella,

00:23:29the wind is so fierce that they both arrive back at the office soaking wet.

00:23:33Isusa immediately takes charge, tossing a towel over John's head

00:23:36and drying his hair like a stepmother in Korn videos.

00:23:39After suggesting he hang up his jacket to dry,

00:23:41she notices he has simply slung it over his desk.

00:23:44Worried about wrinkles, she picks it up and is struck by the sheer size of the garment.

00:23:48In a moment of curiosity, she tries it on, playing with the oversized sleeves.

00:23:51However, she is mortified when John returns with coffee and catches her in the act.

00:23:55He finds the sight incredibly cute, but says nothing,

00:23:58while Isusa attempts to regain her composure by diving back into her work.

00:24:02A few hours later, the storm's intensity grows.

00:24:04While taking a break for a sandwich, Isusa notices John staring out at the rain,

00:24:08and teases him for being excited like a kid.

00:24:10John counters by pointing out that she was just playing with his coat,

00:24:13which nearly causes her to choke on her food.

00:24:16However, their playful bickering is interrupted by a violent crash of thunder,

00:24:19which scares the nuts out of Isusa's brain.

00:24:21As she rushes to a windowless area of the office, John gently reassures her.

00:24:25Hoping to grab her honkers while they're alone, he initiates a word game to shoot his shot.

00:24:29His intentional mistakes make her laugh,

00:24:31successfully easing her anxiety until she feels ready to finish her remaining tasks.

00:24:35A few hours pass, and Isusa urges John to head home before the train services are suspended.

00:24:40She explains that she needs to stay longer to finish tasks that can't be done from home the next day.

00:24:44Refusing to leave her behind, John offers to help so they can leave together.

00:24:48Deeply moved by his loyalty, she sends him to the sales department to collect some files

00:24:51while she attends a final virtual meeting.

00:24:53In the sales department, John encounters a senior named Shugahara,

00:24:57who attempts to exploit John's helpful nature by dumping his own overdue tasks on him.

00:25:01When Isusa finishes her meeting and finds John still at his desk,

00:25:04she realizes what has happened.

00:25:06Her patience evaporates, and she marches down to confront Shugahara with her jiggling watermelons.

00:25:11She sternly calls him out for misbehaving with the junior,

00:25:13and commands Shugahara to handle his own responsibilities,

00:25:16successfully rescuing John from the extra work.

00:25:18The two finally prepare to leave the building, but the wind is now so strong

00:25:22that Isusa is nearly swept off her feet at the entrance.

00:25:25Realizing that running for the station is too dangerous,

00:25:27John suggests they share one umbrella again,

00:25:29arguing that his physical strength will help keep them steady against the wind.

00:25:33Isusa finds herself agreeing, realizing that despite his junior status,

00:25:36John is a very reliable man.

00:25:38As they navigate the wind-whipped streets, a particularly strong gust nearly blows their cover.

00:25:43Immediately, John pulls Isusa closer to his side,

00:25:46shielding her from the force of the storm as they walk towards the station.

00:25:49To their surprise, they discover they share the same train line,

00:25:52an observation they had never made before because of their different working hours.

00:25:55They share a quiet, polite conversation during the commute until they reach Isusa's stop.

00:25:59Before she departs, John insists she take his sturdier umbrella for the walk home,

00:26:03dismissing his own needs.

00:26:05In return, Isusa gives him a small gift as a thank you for his hard work and support throughout the

00:26:09day.

00:26:09Back at her apartment, Isusa hangs John's umbrella next to hers,

00:26:13feeling a strange mix of relief and lingering tension about seeing him the next day.

00:26:17Meanwhile, John settles in at home, sniffing the towel Isusa gave him like a freak,

00:26:21and reflecting on the day with a quiet smile, even considering buying special detergent to care for the item she

00:26:26touched.

00:26:26The following morning, Isusa spends her time rehearsing a simple request.

00:26:30She wants to invite John out for drinks as a gesture of gratitude for the umbrella he lent her during

00:26:34the storm.

00:26:34However, her confidence wavers the moment she arrives at the office

00:26:37and spots him in an animated conversation with a woman named Miho, whom she has never met.

00:26:42A sharp sting of jealousy pricks at her heart, though she quickly stops herself to support John's social interactions.

00:26:48Overhearing them discussing an upcoming fireworks display,

00:26:51she assumes they have private plans and decides to abandon her invitation.

00:26:55However, two colleagues, Akime and Mori, suddenly interrupt John and Miho.

00:27:00They begin pushily trying to invite themselves along to the festival, clearly making the juniors uncomfortable.

00:27:05Seeing John and Miho struggle to politely decline their seniors, Isusa decides to intervene, dressed up as Bonnie Blue.

00:27:10She steps forward and authoritatively announces that she will be joining the group as well.

00:27:14Her formidable reputation works instantly, and Akime and Mori become flustered and quickly excuse themselves.

00:27:21As soon as they leave, Isusa clarifies to the pair that she was only helping them escape.

00:27:25But her plan backfires when both John and Miho earnestly insist that she actually come with them.

00:27:30Later, in the break room, Miho introduces herself as a new recruit from the public relations department.

00:27:34She mentions that she's heard good things about Isusa, which causes John to become visibly embarrassed.

00:27:40The scope of the outing soon becomes clear.

00:27:42All six of the company's new hires are attending together.

00:27:44The prospect of being the only senior among a large group of juniors sounds exhausting to the introverted Isusa,

00:27:50but Miho's persistent enthusiasm leaves her with no choice but to accept the invitation.

00:27:55As the festival approaches, Isusa begins to worry about what to wear.

00:27:58She remembers a jankata her mother bought her years ago, but upon seeing a photo of it,

00:28:02she realizes it is far too wonky looking for a professional woman.

00:28:06During a phone call, her mother excitedly assumes Isusa is going on a date,

00:28:09and despite Isusa's denials, she insists on sending money and accessories for a new outfit.

00:28:14Isusa eventually visits a shop where she is nearly overwhelmed by the options.

00:28:18She briefly considers a pattern featuring turtles, but she soon chooses a more classic style displayed on a mannequin.

00:28:23Back at home, she attempts to dress herself using online tutorials.

00:28:27But after an hour of struggling with the complex fabric, she realizes she will need professional help.

00:28:31The next day, Isusa discreetly pulls Miho aside to discuss their plans.

00:28:36When Isusa reveals she intends to wear a jankata, Miho jumps up and down like Elon Musk,

00:28:41as she had been afraid of being the only one dressed traditionally.

00:28:44They discuss the logistics of booking a salon for the occasion.

00:28:47Shortly after, Miho runs into John in the hallway and teases him,

00:28:50telling him to look forward to seeing Isusa in her festival attire, leaving him completely flustered.

00:28:54On the day of the fireworks display, the group of new hires gathers at the station.

00:28:57There is a nervous buzz among them regarding Isusa's arrival,

00:29:01as rumors of her being an intimidating and strict superior have spread throughout the office.

00:29:05John tries his best to defend her personality, describing her as kind and diligent,

00:29:10though his friends tease him, suggesting he only sees her softer side because of her enormous milk containers.

00:29:15When Isusa finally arrives, the group falls silent.

00:29:18She is wearing a beautiful light yellow jankata that compliments her perfectly.

00:29:21Her polite and humble greeting immediately puts the juniors at ease,

00:29:24and they realize she isn't the monster the rumors suggested.

00:29:28On the other hand, John is so stunned by her appearance that he can barely speak and

00:29:32desperately tries to hide his flagpole.

00:29:34As the group enters the festival grounds, they decide to split up to explore the various food stalls.

00:29:39Isusa ends up in a small team with John and Miho.

00:29:41Feeling out of her element in the crowded, festive atmosphere,

00:29:44she tries to contribute by offering her wallet to pay for their snacks.

00:29:47Although the juniors initially refuse, she insists on treating them since festival food can be quite expensive.

00:29:52They eventually return with fresh takoyaki, which proves to be a challenge for Isusa.

00:29:57Attempting to follow John and Miho's lead in eating the hot snack, she accidentally burns her tongue.

00:30:02John feels guilty for encouraging her, and quickly buys her some shaved ice to soothe.

00:30:06The burn.

00:30:07As they stand in a quiet corner to eat, John reflects on how

00:30:10festival food always seems to taste better than the versions he makes at home.

00:30:14Miho teases him about his cooking, revealing to Isusa that John often lived on a very tight budget

00:30:19during his training because he spent all his money on plastic model kits.

00:30:23Isusa admits she was already aware of his hobby.

00:30:25Watching the two of them banter, Isusa feels a sense of peace,

00:30:28noting how much more relaxed John seems outside the confines of the office.

00:30:32Their next stop is a shooting gallery.

00:30:34While Isusa initially intends to just watch, John and Miho become determined to win a prize for her.

00:30:39Isusa's eyes linger on a small turtle plush, and the pair immediately set their sights on it.

00:30:43However, a wave of guilt washes over Isusa as she begins to worry that they are only being nice to

00:30:48her

00:30:49because of her seniority at work.

00:30:51Overwhelmed by the thought that she might be a burden,

00:30:53she quietly slips away from the booth, intending to find the fireworks viewing area on her own.

00:30:58However, her alone time turns into a disaster as the strap of her sandal suddenly snaps,

00:31:03making it impossible to walk properly.

00:31:05To make matters worse, she realizes she forgot to charge her phone,

00:31:08leaving her stranded like an idiot and unable to call for help.

00:31:11As she sits on a bench watching happy groups of friends pass by, she feels a sense of loneliness.

00:31:16Isusa tells herself she is used to being alone,

00:31:18yet the thought of missing the fireworks with John brings a genuine ache to her beautiful,

00:31:22juicy heart area.

00:31:24But just a few minutes later, Miho finds her,

00:31:26and quickly alerts John that Isusa has been located,

00:31:28and reassures the older woman that they were worried about her.

00:31:31Miho takes the opportunity to tell Isusa how much John admires her,

00:31:34and how he constantly speaks of her in glowing terms to the other departments.

00:31:38Before Isusa can process this, John arrives looking breathless and borderline stressed.

00:31:43However, he doesn't stay upset for long, because when he notices her broken shoe,

00:31:47John uses a coin and a handkerchief to create a temporary repair for the strap.

00:31:50With the fireworks about to start, the three of them begin to rush toward the viewing area.

00:31:54In the crowd, Miho takes Isusa's hand to lead her,

00:31:57and Isusa, not wanting to lose John, reaches back and grabs his hand as well.

00:32:01The sudden physical contact alerts John's little brother downstairs.

00:32:04As Isusa gazes up at the light, she finds herself lost in thought,

00:32:09wondering how much different their relationship might be if they weren't simply a senior and her

00:32:12junior. A few days later, in the midst of a busy work day,

00:32:16a minor communication breakdown occurs while John is handling various documents.

00:32:20Through the glass doors of a meeting room, Isusa attempts to signal him to retrieve her phone from

00:32:24her desk, but her frantic gestures only lead to more confusion. Losing her patience,

00:32:28she eventually has to interrupt her own meeting to scold him for being slow.

00:32:31This encounter leaves John feeling somewhat discouraged, which doesn't go unnoticed by

00:32:36Miho later in the break room. When Miho teases him about the interaction,

00:32:39John admits his sadness and mentions that Isusa tends to slip out profanity whenever she is furious.

00:32:44This detail surprises Miho, as she has never heard her superior speak with anything other

00:32:49than professional Japanese. Shortly after, John's phone becomes a distraction during work hours

00:32:53due to a barrage of notifications from his family asking him to clean the toilets.

00:32:56While Isusa initially dismisses his concern as childish, she quickly feels a twinge of regret

00:33:02for her harsh tone. To lighten the mood, she playfully adopts the nickname John-Chan after

00:33:07spotting it in a text preview on his screen, much to John's horror. This leads to a conversation about

00:33:12his home life, where John explains that while his parents live conveniently close, their constant

00:33:16hovering and nagging about his well-being can be a bit overwhelming. That evening, Isusa is faced with

00:33:21the reality of her own empty refrigerator and a lack of domestic skills that would surely worry her

00:33:26own parents. Seeking a quick solution, she heads to a local shopping district to find dinner.

00:33:30Her excitement over the variety of pre-made meals is cut short when she unexpectedly runs into John

00:33:35at the supermarket. Nervous that he might discover she rarely cooks, she struggles to justify her

00:33:40presence in the store. However, the sight of a nearby couple causes a moment of mutual awkwardness.

00:33:45While Isusa feels a bit of lifestyle envy, John finds himself blushing at the thought that they might

00:33:50look like a couple doing their own grocery shopping. During their conversation about home-cooked meals,

00:33:55John admits he would value a partner he could cook alongside or who would practice recipes for him.

00:34:00Relieved by his answer but still wanting to protect her professional image, Isusa pretends she is only

00:34:04there to buy fresh vegetables, even though she wants to buy a cucumber for late-night fun and a discounted

00:34:09bento box she had originally wanted. The next day, John notices that Isusa's hand is covered in several

00:34:14bandages. Although she insists they are just paper cuts, the sheer number of them makes him suspicious of

00:34:19what she was actually doing at home. Just then, their talk is interrupted by a call from Isusa's

00:34:24mother, Sakura. During a private conversation in the hallway, Sakura's prying questions about Isusa's

00:34:29love life, prompted by the recent photo of her in Ajankata, led to a moment of impulsive frustration.

00:34:35In a desperate attempt to stop her mother from suggesting arranged marriages,

00:34:38Isusa boldly claims she already has a boyfriend before hanging up. However, John is standing nearby with

00:34:44a firm biological rod and overhears the declaration, looking completely stunned. Realizing she might

00:34:49have caused some misunderstanding, she tries to explain her situation. Isusa worries that she

00:34:54has been unintentionally rude to her colleagues by using her harsh tone, but John reassures her that

00:34:59he actually finds her dialect interesting. However, his mind is mostly occupied with wondering what kind

00:35:04of person Isusa could possibly be dating. The situation escalates when Sakura calls back to announce she is

00:35:09already at Isusa's house and expects to meet the non-existent boyfriend over dinner. Seeing her panic,

00:35:14John steps up and offers to play the role of the pretend partner to save her from the embarrassment

00:35:18of her lie. The two stay late at the office to coordinate their cover story. They decide to tell

00:35:23her mother they are co-workers who have been dating for four months. To make the lie more convincing,

00:35:28they exchange personal details and are delighted to find they share a common hobby in gaming.

00:35:32This shared interest gives them a much-needed boost of confidence before they head to the

00:35:35restaurant to meet Sakura. Upon arriving at the dinner, John is taken aback by Sakura's remarkably

00:35:40youthful appearance, initially struggling to believe she is Isusa's mother. The evening is

00:35:45filled with embarrassing childhood anecdotes provided by Sakura, making Isusa somewhat embarrassed.

00:35:50Just then a client calls her and when Isusa walks away from the table,

00:35:54Sakura takes the opportunity to speak candidly with John about her daughter's introverted nature

00:35:58and her freaky nature in bed. She shares a story from Isusa's elementary school days involving a

00:36:04school festival accident, explaining how Isusa's blunt leadership was actually a selfless attempt

00:36:08to protect her classmates, even at the cost of her own popularity. Sakura expresses her hope that

00:36:13John won't grow to hate her daughter's difficult personality, but John sincerely replies that he could

00:36:18never hate her, praising her good intentions and professional dedication. As the evening ends and

00:36:23they prepare to head home, Sakura catches John off guard by revealing she knew the relationship was a lie

00:36:28all along. She had noticed him referring to Isusa as his senior and realized they were acting. However,

00:36:33she expresses her deep gratitude for his support and is particularly moved by the fact that Isusa feels

00:36:38comfortable enough to use her natural personality around him, which is a sign of true trust.

00:36:42The next day, Isusa treats John to lunch as a thank you gift. When she struggles to express her dislike

00:36:47for

00:36:48the tomatoes on her plate, John easily understands and offers to finish them for her like a beggar on the

00:36:52streets.

00:36:52When Isusa asks what he and her mother discussed in her absence, John simply offers a cryptic smile and

00:36:58tells her everything went as planned. Before the grand opening of the collaboration cafe, John proudly

00:37:03reveals a mock-up of an in-game vehicle to Isusa. While she is impressed by the display, she notices

00:37:08that

00:37:08the actual merchandise has yet to arrive. Seeing this, John reassures her that the delivery is scheduled

00:37:13for the following morning, though a flicker of concern remains in the back of her mind. Then she notices the

00:37:18cafe. Costumes, and she finds herself secretly wondering if John has a particular fondness for

00:37:23maid outfits, as almost all men are creeps. She quickly masks her curiosity by expressing her

00:37:28professional anticipation for the event. The following day, Isusa encounters Miho as she

00:37:33prepares to head to the cafe. Noticing Isusa's uncharacteristic excitement, Miho decides to tag

00:37:37along under the guise of gathering content for the company newsletter. During their walk, Isusa speaks

00:37:42of John's hard work with a sense of pride that doesn't escape Miho's notice. Miho observes that John

00:37:46seems genuinely happy lately and attributes it to having such a dedicated mentor. However,

00:37:50their positive mood shifts when they arrive at the cafe to find a long line already forming,

00:37:54and John in a state of distress. The merchandise delivery was delayed, leaving the team behind

00:37:59schedule. While Miho is quick to defend John, Isusa takes a more practical stance, reminding him that

00:38:04a professional should account for potential delays. Despite her stern words, she privately blames herself

00:38:09for not offering better guidance the day before. The situation grows more tense when the store

00:38:13manager reveals that several waiters have failed to show up. While Isusa begins coordinating backup

00:38:17staff from their event partners, she realizes the immediate opening is still in jeopardy. On the

00:38:22other hand, John, frantic and unable to find Isusa for a moment, fears she has abandoned him in

00:38:27frustration. However, she surprises him by appearing in the official cafe maid uniform to make his sausage

00:38:33juice leak out. She explains that she will serve the guests herself to make up for the morning's logistical

00:38:38errors. Noticing John's lingering guilt, she attempts to offer encouragement by awkwardly patting his

00:38:43head, a gesture that Miho playfully critiques as being a bit too stiff. Once the doors open,

00:38:48the cafe is flooded with guests. Isusa finds the reality of customer service to be far more challenging

00:38:53than she anticipated. During her first order, she accidentally douses an omelet in an excessive

00:38:58amount of ketchup while trying to fulfill a guest's request for a drawing. To her surprise,

00:39:02the guest is delighted by the mishap. Despite her best efforts, she continues to make small mistakes,

00:39:07and feels increasingly outclassed by Miho, who has also changed into a costume and is handling the

00:39:12crowd better than her clumsy dumpers. During a short break, Miho informs John that their additional help

00:39:18has finally arrived. John expresses his worry that Isusa is pushing herself too hard, noting her robotic

00:39:23and nervous demeanor while serving. However, she suggests that Isusa simply wants John to rely on her

00:39:28more, revealing that Isusa even sought her advice on how to better support him. This revelation catches

00:39:33John off guard as he hadn't realized how much that chick each had truly cherished their working

00:39:37relationship. A few hours later, the maids perform a dance routine near the vehicle mock-up. Isusa

00:39:42struggles to maintain her energy and smile during the performance, feeling a wave of embarrassment when

00:39:46she spots John in the audience. Seeing her friend feeling shy, Miho jumps onto the stage,

00:39:51improvising her own dance moves to take the pressure off Isusa. This supportive gesture allows Isusa to

00:39:56relax and finish the routine alongside the rest of the team. As the day begins to wind down,

00:40:00Isusa tries to hand out flyers to passers-by, but she is largely ignored by the public. When John

00:40:05approaches her with a drink and a towel, suggesting she finally take a rest, she stubbornly tries to

00:40:10prove she can attract customers. But despite this, she is forced to admit defeat when she sees how much

00:40:15more effective the professional maids are at engaging the crowd. Retreating behind the cafe, Isusa mopes

00:40:20about her lack of charisma compared to Miho. Sensing her low spirits, John tries to insist that her presence

00:40:25is a vital motivation for the entire team. To make her feel more at ease, he begins sharing a series

00:40:29of

00:40:30personal flaws. He is a poor swimmer, he hates peppers, and he has an addiction to play his

00:40:35flagpole every night. He even admits that his hair is naturally curly and requires constant straightening,

00:40:40a fact Isusa recalls from seeing him on particularly humid days. These admissions

00:40:44humanize him in her eyes, making her feel closer to him. Despite John's efforts to cheer her up,

00:40:49Isusa still feels she has many things to take care of before the day ends. Inside the maid-themed cafe,

00:40:54a guest appears to be, pressuring Miho into various poses like a classic freak from an anime.

00:40:58Seeing this, Isusa's protective instincts take over, and she marches over to confront the man with

00:41:03an authoritative glare. Shockingly, her stern expression and posture perfectly mimic a popular

00:41:08character from the game. So, instead of being intimidated, the guest is happy, thanking her for

00:41:12the authentic service and requesting a game with her. Isusa is left completely baffled by the positive

00:41:17reaction to her anger, but she continues to provide the service the guest desires. Later that night,

00:41:22the store manager praises the two for their exceptional work, specifically highlighting

00:41:25Isusa's top-tier service. As they sit in silence, Isusa asks John why her last customer was so happy.

00:41:31John points to a character that bears a striking resemblance to her outfit and aura.

00:41:35When Isusa tries to mimic the pose, John blushes, admitting that while she resembles the character

00:41:40from the anime, she feels more like the master of the house than a maid. John explains that since she

00:41:44is always looking after him as his senior, it's hard to imagine her in a subordinate role. Hearing this,

00:41:49Isusa claims that a maid's job is also to look after people, a point that John finds difficult to

00:41:54argue with. Just as they are about to go home, Miho bursts in and demands that they all go out

00:41:59to

00:41:59have celebratory drinks. As she urges them to hurry, Isusa catches John off guard by playfully

00:42:04calling him Master and tells him to wash his baby carrot before leaving, just in case. This makes John

00:42:09embarrassed for a second, and Isusa also gets shy by her boldness. A few days later, it's extremely cold

00:42:15outside, causing Isusa to shiver from the dropping temperature. Seeing this, John pulls out his

00:42:19jacket over her shoulders like a total simp. Though initially puzzled, Isusa accepts the kind

00:42:24gesture once he reassures her that he is perfectly warm, completely unaware that Ritsu is watching the

00:42:29sweet exchange from the office building. A few days later, Isusa is browsing the market for some clothes,

00:42:33trying to build up the courage to go inside a clothing boutique. Just as she considers giving up and

00:42:37going home, John notices her and offers to accompany her to help with her anxiety. Feeling understood by her

00:42:43subordinate, Isusa starts trying on a series of outfits, and each time she emerges, John enthusiastically

00:42:49assures her that every single option looks incredible. Watching her happily head to the

00:42:53checkout counter, John catches himself thinking about how adorable she is, prompting him to literally

00:42:57bang his head against a wall to scold himself for viewing his senior in such a creepy manner.

00:43:02Later that evening, Isusa struggles to offer a casual goodbye rather than her rigid formal work

00:43:07farewell. However, John matches her energy and keeps her happy, but as soon as they part ways,

00:43:11Isusa's heart sinks into her stomach when she notices another girl grabbing John like a cat

00:43:15in an adoption center. The next day, Ritsu approaches Isusa and hands over her favorite drink,

00:43:20playfully noting that Isusa is acting extremely gloomy today. Miho also chimes in, noticing Isusa's

00:43:26distress and accurately guessing that the trouble is tied to John. Desperate to stop them from intervening,

00:43:31Isusa reveals that she saw John with another girl. Miho quickly reassures her that John would have

00:43:35mentioned having a girlfriend. While Ritsu seizes the opportunity to tease Isusa about her intense

00:43:40investment in their junior's romantic life. Embarrassed about this, Isusa claims that her

00:43:44concern is strictly professional. So, to cheer her up, Miho invites Isusa to a weekend spa trip,

00:43:50and the moment she agrees, Miho immediately texts John to invite him along as well. Later at lunch,

00:43:55John happens to walk past and catches sight of Isusa laughing happily at Ritsu's stories. A sudden wave

00:44:00of jealousy washes over him, and when he turns back, he nearly collides with Ritsu around the corner.

00:44:04Ritsu cheerfully introduces himself and tells John to take good care of Isuzu,

00:44:08freezing John in his tracks before casually mentioning that he will also be attending the

00:44:12upcoming spa day. A few days later, the group meets up at the spa, where a teasing Ritsu tricks

00:44:16John into admitting out loud that Isusa looks beautiful today. This limpy, sausage-wielding John

00:44:21frantically clarifies that he only meant her outfit suits her beautifully, leaving Miho and Ritsu to

00:44:27relentlessly tease him for his lack of confidence. Inside the facility, Isusa decides she wants to hit the

00:44:32stone sauna first, while John mentions he is heading to the regular sauna. Before Ritsu can share his

00:44:37own plans, his phone rings with a work emergency, forcing him to step away. Inside the intense heat

00:44:42of the stone sauna, Isusa tries her best to release her stress, but the vivid image of John with the

00:44:47mysterious girl suddenly flashes in her mind, ruining her peace. On the other hand, John sits in

00:44:52the regular sauna, unable to stop thinking about the affectionate way Ritsu speaks to Isusa. Eventually,

00:44:57the girls move on to get massages, where Isusa stubbornly insists on full pressure to avoid

00:45:01looking weak, resulting in a painful scream that echoes down the hall. Afterward at the baths,

00:45:06a completely blissed-out Isusa admits to Miho that she doesn't understand why she is so deeply

00:45:10bothered by John's mystery girl. Miho gently advises her to grab her non-existent balls and ask John

00:45:15directly, reminding her that she doesn't need to act like his superior today. A few hours later, Isusa

00:45:20finds John cooling off outside, and the two decide to take a walk together. When Isusa accidentally loses

00:45:25her footing and trips, she falls right into John's arms, as Ritsu is watching them from a distance.

00:45:30Determined to help these losers p***trate each other, Ritsu approaches John at the vending machines and

00:45:34claims he actually harbors romantic feelings for Isusa. As they all sit down for dinner,

00:45:39Isusa and John start drinking heavily to battle with their emotions. When John passes out at the

00:45:43table like a beta male, a fiercely protective Isusa loudly accuses the group of sabotaging him.

00:45:48Ritsu teases her for being overly defensive, causing Isusa to snap back that she has every right to

00:45:53protect her precious junior. Hearing this, something inside the drunken John snaps, and he abruptly

00:45:59sits up and angrily declares that he is sick and tired of being treated as just her junior forever.

00:46:04Miho and Ritsu hold their breath for a romantic confession, but Isusa suddenly bursts into tears

00:46:08weeping about how hard she works to be a respected boss, forcing a mortified Miho to spend the rest of

00:46:13dinner, apologizing to the people around them. Once the drunken idiots finally sober up, they are

00:46:18brought outside into the fresh air to recover. Miho and Ritsu decide to head to the outdoor baths,

00:46:23and Miho casually invites Ritsu to join her in the women's section. Meanwhile, John watches in complete

00:46:28confusion as Ritsu complies without hesitation, and his confusion turns to absolute shock when both

00:46:34Miho and Ritsu emerge from the female locker room wearing matching pink robes. It is finally revealed

00:46:39that Ritsu has been a girl this entire time, blending in like a chameleon. With a light-hearted

00:46:43laughter, Ritsu apologizes to John for the elaborate deception, explaining she only pretended to have

00:46:48romantic feelings for Isusa to force John into recognizing his own love for her. As the three

00:46:53girls happily chat and share ice cream, John starts going haywire due to the gender situation and

00:46:57collapses on the floor. That evening, John's sister immediately notices his flushed look and questions,

00:47:02who he had been out drinking with. But her inquiries go unanswered as he collapses onto his bed in a

00:47:06deep sleep. The following morning at the planning department, the day begins like any other. It doesn't

00:47:11take long for the women in the office to realize that John is nowhere to be found. Isusa finds his

00:47:15absence particularly strange given his habit of being early, though she tries to stay calm since

00:47:20his shift hasn't officially started yet. However, her concern is briefly interrupted when her phone

00:47:24alerts her to a message from John, who seems to be stroking himself in the bathroom. He explains

00:47:29that he isn't feeling well and plans to see a doctor that morning, though he insists he will return

00:47:33in time for the afternoon meeting. This only serves to frustrate Isusa, who mentally scolds him for being

00:47:38so stubborn about working while sick. During her lunch break, Isusa is joined by her colleagues,

00:47:42Miho and Ritsu, whose newfound closeness surprises her. Miho notes that their recent spa excursion

00:47:48turned them into fast friends after seeing each other's dumpers and knockers, and they spend a

00:47:52moment fondly remembering the relaxation of the baths and the treats they shared. Isusa watches them

00:47:57with a touch of envy, marveling at how easily people with natural social skills can bond.

00:48:02When the conversation turns to John's absence, Isusa explains his situation. Sensing an opportunity,

00:48:07Ritsu suggests that Isusa should pay him a visit the following day. The girl is instantly flustered,

00:48:13terrified that a surprise visit would only be an intrusion of his privacy. However,

00:48:17Miho reassures her that John would likely be delighted to see someone he holds in such high

00:48:21regard. Despite the encouragement, Isusa's anxieties shift to practical matters, as she doesn't

00:48:25have his address and fears his girlfriend might be present. Miho quickly dismisses these concerns by

00:48:30revealing she knows exactly where he lives, and he is a single dork. Under the pressure of her

00:48:34friend's insistence that staying away would be cold-hearted, Isusa finally agrees to go.

00:48:39The next day, Isusa is outside John's apartment, worrying that she is being a burden, and plans to

00:48:44simply drop off the gift and leave. But just then, she is interrupted by the same girl she encountered

00:48:48previously in the shopping district. This girl, Yuki, asks if Isusa is there to see her brother,

00:48:53finally clearing up the misunderstanding. Yuki isn't John's girlfriend, but his younger sister.

00:48:58When Yuki teasingly asks if Isusa is John's girlfriend, Isusa descends into a state of panic.

00:49:03John eventually opens the door, wearing a face mask, and is visibly stunned to see Isusa and his

00:49:08sister standing together. After a brief moment of frantic tidying inside, he invites them both in.

00:49:13As Isusa enters, she takes in the details of the apartment, noticing John's personal decorations.

00:49:18Yuki introduces herself properly, prompting Isusa to offer her business card like a nerd wacko.

00:49:23John finds the formality unnecessary, though Yuki takes the chance to whisper to her brother

00:49:26about how lucky he is to have such a beautiful senior. Despite John's insistence that he is fine to

00:49:31serve tea, Isusa urges him to rest. The mood lightens when Yuki decides to cook for her brother,

00:49:37and Isusa also offers her assistance. However, the cooking process proves to be a bit chaotic,

00:49:41so John has to intervene when Yuki nearly washes an apple with dish soap. He then notices Isusa

00:49:46holding a knife in a dangerous manner. While the siblings engage in a lighthearted bicar,

00:49:51Isusa focuses on her task. When Yuki sees the finished product, she is impressed by the cute result,

00:49:56though John eventually takes over the rest of the meal preparation himself. Left to wait,

00:50:00John notices that Isusa has carefully carved an apple into the shape of a stupid-looking rabbit.

00:50:05Isusa admits she practiced this specifically because she remembered John once saying he'd appreciate

00:50:10the effort of someone cooking for him. The memory makes her incredibly embarrassed,

00:50:14and she quickly asks him to forget she said anything. Soon, they all gather in the living room around a

00:50:19bowl

00:50:19of porridge. John is genuinely thankful for the food, even though he did all the work. Following Yuki's

00:50:24repeated requests, Isusa sits close to John on the couch. The girl can't help but tease her brother

00:50:28for being so moved by a piece of fruit, mentioning that he is a sensitive soul who cries easily,

00:50:33even over video games. This sparks a lively conversation about gaming between John and Isusa,

00:50:38and Yuki observes how natural and happy their interaction seems. Feeling like she might be a

00:50:43third wheel, Yuki suggests looking through the old photo albums. While they go through John's childhood

00:50:47photos, Isusa can't help but mention how cute he was, accidentally implying she thinks he's cute now as

00:50:52well. As they look through his middle school and high school years, Isusa realizes that he used to play

00:50:57football with his classmates. By the time they reach his college years, she realizes how many layers

00:51:02there are to him that she has yet to discover. When Yuki realizes they are out of drinks, she offers

00:51:06to run

00:51:07to the store, leaving the two of them alone, who are moist about being extremely close to each other.

00:51:11Since the silence in the air is getting too loud, John brings up the spa trip and apologizes, assuming Isusa

00:51:17only participated out of a sense of obligation. However, the chick corrects him, stating she had

00:51:21a great time and that Ritsu even wants them to go again. John expresses regret for his drunken behavior,

00:51:27but Isusa counters by admitting she acted out as well. Then she confesses that seeing him with Yuki

00:51:32in town the other day had bothered her because she thought they were a couple. John is taken aback,

00:51:36asking why a girlfriend would make her feel that way, which leaves Isusa unable to explain her own

00:51:41feelings. To ease the mood, John demonstrates his new coffee drip brewer, carefully preparing a cup

00:51:47for Isusa with the specific amount of milk and sugar she likes. She notices he is using the mug that

00:51:51matches the one she has at home, and he sheepishly admits he loves the design. The conversation turns

00:51:56more serious as Isusa reflects on her past. She shares a story from her school days when she was

00:52:01class president and struggled to manage her peers. After a chaotic incident where a classmate got hurt,

00:52:06she yelled at everyone out of frustration. This experience led her to believe she was naturally

00:52:10bad at socializing and that scaring people off was simply easier. However, Isusa confesses that

00:52:16her perspective changed after meeting John. She tried harder to be approachable for his sake,

00:52:20even though she still feels like she fails at times. Hearing this, John gently reassures

00:52:24her that she has always been doing her best, which tickles the groove between her legs.

00:52:28Unfortunately, their conversation is interrupted as John starts coughing like an old man.

00:52:33Isusa insists he go to sleep immediately, even jokingly offering to sing a lullaby. To her surprise,

00:52:38he takes her up on it. Feeling committed to the bit, she sings softly until she gets super embarrassed.

00:52:43As he drifts off, Isusa stays nearby, organizing his papers and watching him sleep. In a quiet moment

00:52:48of affection, she takes his hand in hers, smiling at how well they fit together. They eventually wake

00:52:53up to a text from Yuki, realizing they both fell asleep. Isusa is flustered by the intimacy of holding

00:52:58his hand, but John is nothing but grateful. He thanks her for her care and adds that he had a

00:53:03wonderful rest.

00:53:04Sensing a shift in their dynamic, Isusa suddenly tells him she wants to know everything about him,

00:53:09from his favorite foods to the size of his carrot. John smiles at her enthusiasm and suggests they

00:53:14become friends in a more personal sense. This time, Isusa excitedly asks if this means they can share

00:53:19lunches and occasionally go out for drinks, all of which John happily agrees to. After the sweet

00:53:23moment at John's apartment, Yuki claims that she wants to cook more meals with Isusa before heading out.

00:53:28This comes as a total surprise to John, who wasn't aware they had made such arrangements.

00:53:32Before leaving, Isusa extends a friendly invitation to John for a future lunch date.

00:53:36Once they are alone, Yuki immediately teases her brother, questioning if he just faced rejection.

00:53:41This forces John to explain the shifting nature of their relationship. They have transitioned from

00:53:45a co-worker dynamic to being friends with minimal benefits. Later during lunch, Isusa seems overjoyed

00:53:51while she eats and trades messages with John. Her positive energy is so radiant that it's immediately

00:53:55spotted by her friends, Ritsu and Miho. Miho can't resist playfully asking if she's texting John,

00:54:00and as the group settles in for their meal, the teasing continues. Isusa tries to remain composed,

00:54:05insisting she is simply being a reliable friend and returning his messages. She confesses to her

00:54:10colleagues that she has never really navigated a genuine friendship before, leaving her terrified

00:54:15of making a mistake. This vulnerability is met with suppressed laughter from her friends, which only

00:54:20makes Isusa slightly concerned about her image. However, the conversation eventually shifts to John's

00:54:25upcoming birthday. Isusa is determined to make it a special occasion since she has no prior experience

00:54:30celebrating a friend's birth. Ritsu suggests utilizing the company's monthly group celebration

00:54:34as the perfect venue. When Miho suggests that Isusa will definitely be preparing a personal gift using

00:54:40her own body, the young woman falls into deep thought. Later that day, Ritsu and Miho discuss the

00:54:45slow pace of John and Isusa's bond. While Miho is slightly frustrated by the lack of speed,

00:54:49she feels like they'll soon share a bed. Ritsu points out that while John likely understands his

00:54:53own heart, Isusa remains completely oblivious to her true feelings. A few days later, Isusa informs

00:54:59John about the corporate birthday event. John expresses his desire to attend and asks if they can go as a

00:55:03pair. Isusa enthusiastically agrees, vowing to make his birthday a memorable one. However, her shy nature

00:55:10eventually resurfaces, and she quickly pivots to suggesting they grab lunch. As they part ways to

00:55:14return to their desks, Miho corners John to continue her teasing. She asks if he is truly satisfied with

00:55:20staying in the friend zone, but after seeing his genuine confusion, she decides to drop the subject

00:55:25for the moment. During their lunch together, a distracted Isusa tries to figure out what John

00:55:29wants for a gift without being too obvious. She creates a cover story about a female acquaintance

00:55:33seeking advice on what to buy a male friend. John considers the question, but admits he isn't sure

00:55:38what a guy would typically want from a girl since he's a loser simp with zero witches. When she asks

00:55:43what

00:55:43he would personally like, he mentions that a pair of gloves would be practical. This leads Isusa's

00:55:47mind back to a moment when she held his hand while he was sleeping, causing her to turn bright red

00:55:51and

00:55:52scream in the middle of the restaurant, out of embarrassment. Moments later, Isusa goes shopping

00:55:56with Ritsu, but finds herself confused over the variety of materials and colors. Ritsu suggests asking

00:56:01a clerk for help, but Isusa remains determined to choose the gift entirely on her own. Eventually,

00:56:05Isusa finds a pair of gloves featuring cute paw pad designs that she falls in love with

00:56:09immediately. On the other hand, John receives a phone call from Yuki. When she asks what he

00:56:14wants for his birthday, he stays quiet, knowing she will use his answer to demand an expensive gift

00:56:18in return. She mocks his plan to celebrate at a company party, calling him a disgusting loser with

00:56:23a disgusting face that has a disgusting personality. This triggers a memory for John of a childhood

00:56:27birthday where he tried so hard to please everyone that he ended up offending two girls who felt his

00:56:32gratitude wasn't personal enough. As the party draws closer, Isusa works behind the scenes hoping to keep

00:56:37her involvement a secret so John doesn't feel guilty. She, Ritsu, and Miho spend their breaks

00:56:42preparing, but time is running out. When John invites her to lunch, Isusa panics and brushes

00:56:47him off, leading to office gossip about her strange behavior. Just then, a senior named Akeem becomes

00:56:52curious and realizes John is on the list of upcoming birthday celebrants. Unfortunately, when Isusa is

00:56:57trying to decorate the room, she knocks over a bucket of paint, ruining the banner completely. She is now

00:57:03forced to stay up late to fix the decorations by herself. After office, John offers to walk her to

00:57:08the station, but Isusa sends him away, claiming she has overtime work. However, fate intervenes when

00:57:13John realizes he left his train pass at his desk. So when he returns to the office, he finds the

00:57:18storage

00:57:18room lights on and discovers Isusa trying to hide the ruined banner. Once he sees the mess, he insists on

00:57:23helping her. He suggests they incorporate the paint splatters into a new design rather than starting over.

00:57:28As they work together, the project takes on the feel of a nostalgic school festival. At one point,

00:57:32John notices paint on Isusa's cheek and offers her his towel. Just then, they touch hands and glance

00:57:37at each other for a while. Soon enough, they manage to finish the banner, which looks even better than

00:57:41before. During the day of the party, the event feels extremely well organized. Even the skeptical

00:57:46Akeem is impressed, though she remains prickly when Isusa offers her a drink. John's friends notice how

00:57:51hard Isusa is working as a hostess, and Miho makes sure John knows that she did all of this specifically

00:57:56for him. However, the situation turns tense when the supervisor, Ami, takes all the credit for the

00:58:02volunteer's hard work. When Isusa tries to help further, an irritated Ami accidentally knocks over

00:58:07a stack of boxes. Isusa tries to save the scene but accidentally scrapes her own hand. Now, John takes

00:58:13her to the nursing room to treat the injury and scolds her for being reckless. But Isusa explains that

00:58:17her hard work was all for the sake of his birthday. Before they can say more, Ami enters to apologize

00:58:22and

00:58:23tells John it is time for him to take the stage. With this, John is showered with attention and gifts

00:58:27from several girls, making Isusa feel like her present might not be good enough. But with her

00:58:32friend's encouragement, she finally finds the courage to approach him, asking the other girls

00:58:36for a few minutes of privacy. With a heavy heart, she presents the paw pad gloves and John immediately

00:58:40puts them on. Seeing that he likes the gift, Isusa gets ecstatic and tries to touch his hand. Just then,

00:58:45when the two realize that they are holding hands in public, John pulls away immediately. However,

00:58:50he soon decides to go along and, looking her in the eye, confesses that he has started to develop

00:58:54romantic feelings for her. After the party, Isusa can't stop thinking about the romantic interaction

00:58:59they had in the office. Though John tried to express his feelings, the dumb chick is still

00:59:04wondering if it actually qualified as a confession. Before any clarity can be reached, John is pulled

00:59:09away to deliver the event's closing remarks, leaving Isusa even more confused. Just then,

00:59:14Miho quickly notices her situation and tries to snap her out of it. But Isusa is so overwhelmed that

00:59:19her only response is a desperate need for a drink. This leads the two women back to Miho's apartment,

00:59:23where they decide to analyze what John actually tried to tell her earlier. While Miho is convinced

00:59:28that John's words were a definitive declaration of love, Isusa remains skeptical, arguing that his

00:59:34phrasing was far too vague to be official. Miho counters this by pointing out that John's affection

00:59:38has been obvious to everyone for a long time, admitting that she and Ritsu have been waiting for him

00:59:42to finally make a move. She suggests that John likely got caught up in the magic of the moment

00:59:47and the thoughtfulness of her gift, leading to an impulsive outburst. Despite Miho's reassurances

00:59:52that a more formal confession is likely on the horizon, Isusa has no idea what to think of all

00:59:57this. Just then, her phone rings and she immediately tries to hide, terrified it might be John calling to

01:00:02follow up. However, it turns out to be a stupid salesman from the office. When pressed by Miho about

01:00:06whether she actually wants John to like her, Isusa finds herself unable to provide a clear answer,

01:00:11as she is still untangling her own complicated web of emotions. On the other hand, John is having his

01:00:16own debriefing session while out for drinks with Ritsu. She wastes no time in asking if he finally

01:00:20crossed the line into a romantic confession. John sheepishly admits that while he didn't give a full

01:00:25declaration, he certainly hinted at a future beyond friendship. Ritsu reminds him that he should always

01:00:30be transparent about his feelings from the get-go. Back at the apartment, Miho continues to probe Isusa's

01:00:35thoughts, asking if she is simply afraid of the complications of an office romance. Isusa admits

01:00:40that the professional setting isn't the issue. The breakthrough comes when Miho asks how Isusa

01:00:44would feel if John had said those special things to another woman. All of a sudden, this dumb chick

01:00:49starts getting possessive and claims that she would hate seeing John with someone else. Recognizing that

01:00:54Isusa is a complete noob when it comes to relationships, Miho tells her that they should not

01:00:58wait for the next workday to figure things out. Instead, they should spend the rest of their time

01:01:02crafting a strategic plan for her to take control of the situation. The next day, the office environment

01:01:07is tense in a romantic manner. Isusa arrives feeling a sting of disappointment that John hasn't reached

01:01:12out to her over the break, but she is determined to settle the matter herself. But Isusa is so flustered

01:01:18that she flees to her desk, leaving John standing in the hallway with his carrot dangling inside his

01:01:22pants. However, he soon apologizes to Isusa and claims that he was out of line the previous day

01:01:27and tells her to forget about it. Feeling let down and frustrated, Isusa's confusion turns into a

01:01:33boiling anger. She feels she has wasted an entire weekend overthinking a situation that he is now

01:01:38dismissing as a mistake. Driven by this anger, she corners him in the office garden. As a crowd of

01:01:43co-workers watches from a distance, Isusa launches into a rant, demanding to know why he called her

01:01:48special only to backpedal. She complains about her lost sleep and her inability to focus on work,

01:01:53insisting that they find a resolution immediately. Before John could get a word in to clarify,

01:01:57Isusa blurted out the solution she and Miho devised, a three-month trial dating period without

01:02:01any penetration. For a few seconds, John is completely baffled and has no words,

01:02:06but Isusa assumes he is rejecting the idea and begins to get upset. However, he quickly clarifies

01:02:10that he absolutely wants to move forward. On the other hand, Isusa feels the hesitation and decides

01:02:15to head home to clear her mind. Despite the chaotic nature of the confession, Miho and Ritsu celebrate

01:02:20the success of their plan, knowing that the two are finally on a path towards something real.

01:02:25A few moments later, Isusa prepares for their very first trial date. She finds herself overjoyed with

01:02:30excitement, carefully choosing an outfit and heading to the station. She arrives early only to find John

01:02:35already there, having arrived 30 minutes ahead of schedule due to his own anxiety. They then decide

01:02:41to go for ramen, a plan Isusa teases him about, though she is secretly just as anxious. As they walk

01:02:46through the city, they stop by a large Christmas tree. The ease between them begins to return as John

01:02:50reveals he researched the specific restaurant she wanted to visit. This small act of thoughtfulness

01:02:55makes Isusa realize how well he truly knows her. As they sit on a bench together, the physical

01:02:59distance between them closes. They hold hands and Isusa explains that the purpose of this 90-day window

01:03:04is for them to truly discover who the other person is beyond the office walls. She wants to explore the

01:03:10special connection he mentioned. When they eventually reach the ramen shop, the lines between their lives

01:03:14continue to blur. Isusa accidentally responds when John's surname is called for a table,

01:03:19making them sound like a married couple. Once they're inside the shop, they decide to try out

01:03:22each other's food like a proper couple. This makes them think that they accidentally shared an indirect

01:03:27kiss, causing Isusa to get slightly embarrassed. However, John expertly diffuses the situation

01:03:32by telling her he wants to sniff her watermelon that night. As they finish their dinner, John claims that

01:03:37he wants to have a steamy night with her, and Isusa gently tells him that she wants to have a

01:03:41rough night as

01:03:42well. If you want to see more videos like this, comment, watermelon, below. Until then, subscribe,
