Oh no.

I also beg to question this beginning of ours.

But this moment is undoubtedly "our" beginning.

Please pretend you didn't see that...!

♪ Please give me love ♪

♪ Give me love ♪

♪ Have love in your heart ♪

♪ Fool! ♪

Huh? Is that an empty glass, Negishi?

- Oh... - Here, have another!

I'd love to.

Bottoms up!

T-Thank you.

How's that?

She's a real drinker!

Sorry, Anzu. Are you okay?

Totally!

I definitely thought no one would see me there.

Dear God,

I hope I never meet that hot guy, ever again...!

No way...

Oh, Barf Lady.

Huh? WHY!?

Listen up! We've got introductions. Kuroda?

The name's Tetsuya Kuroda, new hire of the Planning Department.

Applause!

- And next to him is... - Kakeru Ando.

Pleased to make your acquaintance. Applause!

- Kawakami. - Yes, sir?

Give them a tour of the place before lunch.

Hey now, Ms. Employee.

Do I see hearts in your eyes?

I mean, who wouldn't?

Don't be woo-ed. Focus on work!

♫ Baby Go! Go! Fly away! ♫

♫ Don't wipe that smile off your face ♫

♫ Baby Go! Go! Try again! ♫

[Color of Romance]

Oh my god! [Knock Top Creative Inc.] [Episode 1]

- What hotties! - They're super cool!

Who's going to ask for their numbers?

Me.

This lounge is a shared space. Feel free to relax here as you will.

It's quite nice.

Don't tell a soul about yesterday,

especially Yuka.

She'll worry if she found out I threw up.

Hey, at least respond.

How come you get to guide the hotties? I'm jealous.

Who's your type?

The one on the left seems kind.

The right? Out of the question.

I definitely prefer the guy on the right.

Will you be my cupid?

Sure, but you have bad taste.

Would you two like some coffee?

Thank you.

Come to me with any questions.

I'll answer anything.

Well, except for personal ones.

Of course. Also, this is delicious.

- Really? I'm glad. - Thank you for getting it.

These are all our shared documents.

Check off here, here, and here,

and all documents will be...

He's staring.

He's staring, again.

He's still staring!

What's his deal!?

What's the big idea?

- Barf Lady. - I'm your senior.

- Then Senior Barf. - That's not any better.

Then just Anzu.

You've been staring this whole time.

Could you stop? It bugs me.

W-Wait.

Stop that.

"Bugs you"?

How so?

Excuse me?

Want me to let go?

If you do, then say so, Anzu.

Let go! Just let me go, you perv!

Yeah, you're entertaining.

In any case, stop with the staring.

Focus on your job for once.

Got it?

Ando, could you pick a few experienced actors?

Yes, ma'am.

Yuka, are the project documents ready?

In a moment.

I'd like them in 10 minutes.

I've secured the designs for another project.

Thank you...

- Then next, could you compile— - Comparisons between several rivaling companies.

All right then...

- Could you gather— - Documents for our next meeting.

- Then go to Marketing— - All details going to Marketing? On it.

He is focusing on his job.

Huh? What's going on?

There's a trick to it.

Thank you.

Your documents on consumer appeal

were all well organized.

Thank you.

Once you two finish, feel free to head home.

We'll handle the rest.

But we'd like to learn about the job, and soon...

Take breaks when you can.

We'll ask for help as necessary,

regardless of seniority.

If I'm ever in need,

I'll be sure to rely on you.

By the way, are you two long-time acquaintances?

Yes, since high school.

We also attended the same university.

So he's the one guy you'd want to defeat?

I can tell you're super conscious of him.

It's pretty frustrating how I'm always losing.

You're not losing now!

If anything, you're winning.

For one, you're polite and easy to approach.

Believe in yourself!

I will, thank you.

I'm looking for any "Chora" samples we have in storage,

but can't find any. Please help me! (cry)

What are you doing?

Could you let go?

Sorry, I'm slightly anemic.

Hugging others helps me calm down.

I'm okay now. Thanks.

Wait!

If you're free,

can I thank you for the hug

this Saturday?

"Bugs you"?

How so? Anzu.

Good work.

Ah, you too.

Did you hear from Ms. Negishi?

Apparently, she's going on a date with Tetsuya tomorrow.

I see! Good for her.

Yuka was aiming for him after all.

Ms. Kawakami.

Um, are you free tomorrow?

Huh?

I haven't been to an aquarium in so long.

- I actually come often. - Really?

That's amazing!

- Looks like the show's beginning. - Yup.

- Wasn't that amazing? - It was!

They're so pretty.

Hold on.

I'm spending my weekend with the newbie, like it's no big deal.

This isn't...

sexual harassment, is it?

Ms. Kawakami!

Here. Which would you prefer?

I'll take this one.

Wait! Was this your first choice?

No, I bought it thinking you'd choose that one.

Thank you.

But being called "Ms. Kawakami" on my day off

feels a bit odd.

Sorry, I'm not forcing you to be on a first-name basis...

Then may I call you Anzu...

or rather, Ms. Anzu?

Sure.

Feel free to call me "Kakeru," too.

Okay... Kakeru.

Sounds good.

You're a kind guy, Kakeru.

Unlike a certain someone.

Ms. Anzu,

I know it's a bit early but if you'd like...

Come on in.

Thank you.

Huh? I thought I contacted him...

Hey yo, Kakeru!

You're with a gal? I've seen more pigs fly than that!

He's the owner of this bar.

Can we get an early drink?

Nope! Go home!

- Have a seat. - Thank you.

Okay, all right! What're the deets (details)? You two hooked up?

What will you get, Ms. Anzu?

The cold shoulder hurts a bit bud. I'm crying for real here!

Miss, is your name Anzu?

Yes, Anzu Kawakami.

Coincidence much? Check out our store name!

"Apricot". [bar Apricot]

"Anzu" means "Apricot". Today's going to be good. Thank you, God!

Why is this bar called "Apricot"?

- I don't know. - You don't?!

Yeah, because I was hired. Didn't start the place.

- I see. - Exactly.

Anyways, your order?

I'll have a sangria.

Okay, two tequilas. Thank you very muchos!

Your sangria, miss.

Wow! This looks amazing!

This is truly a wonderful store.

Though the owner's a weirdo, the store's a good one.

Enjoy.

I'd like a picture together as well.

Will you... go out with me?

Please give it some thought.

I went on a date with Ms. Anzu today.

How was your date with Ms. Negishi?

Didn't go.

What now?!

Are you dating Kakeru?

We're not, but...

But?

He did confess...

Hey, that hurts.

Why are you always like this at work?

I'll stop if you say so.

I saw you hugging Yuka in the storeroom.

That was all her, not me.

You even went on a date with her...

Does that upset you?

How about it?

It doesn't—

Right now, I'm...

I'm betraying Yuka.

Really?

You said you'd act as cupid.

- I forced her— - I...

knew exactly how you'd feel, and still kissed him.

Chase after her, and then what?

Explain?

Apologize?

Don't make yourself a fool.

You should've left the blame on me.

I'd like to talk. I'll be waiting outside the office.

I'm so sorry!

- Sorry! Are you all right? - I'm okay.

Please, it's no big deal.

Thank you so much.

You're freezing.

H-Hey! I still need to talk with Yuka!

W-Wait!

Your place is beautiful.

It's also way bigger than mine.

I can't have you sopping wet in my doorway.

Bath's that way.

I'll return your clothes after I wash them.

Thanks for having me over.

Changed my mind. You're not going home.

I didn't come over with that sort of intention.

If you didn't, then leave me.

Who are you making excuses towards?

Your friends?

Work?

Give in. Just keep your eyes on me.

But...

- I can't— - Shut up.

♫ A kiss of farewell ♫

♫ A kiss of goodbye ♫

♫ We must part with these overwhelming feelings inside ♫

♫ I never believed ♫

♫ in anything like "eternity" ♫

♫ Every moment fleeting ♫

♫ receding into the waves of time ♫

♫ Yet I wish to pursue the now, with the you who believes ♫

♫ Our misunderstandings are beyond saving ♫

- Tetsuya... - Yeah?

♫ So you say, as you leave me ♫

♫ while I remain grounded, unmoving ♫

♫ not a word passing my lips ♫

Anzu... Anzu...

You're toying with me.

No, I'm treasuring you.

♫ If only we could return to being friends; life isn't so simple ♫

Why did he leave me this morning?

Not like I wanted to flirt at daybreak...

Well, maybe just a little.

Wait a second.

Do you usually leave right after your first night together?

Huh?

Ms. Kawakami,

Minamoto needs you for the upcoming project.

All right, I'll be right there.

The key.

So, um...

Why were you gone this morning?

And why am I asking this?

Because I wanted to be alone, and fast.

Hold on,

was I played with!?

Are you all right, Ms. Anzu?

Here, your papers.

Don't touch her, you bastard.

- She's mine. - Yours?

Don't touch her ever again.

We've been on good terms with Sunrise for a couple years now.

As you all probably know, they're a nationally acclaimed beverage company.

Our upcoming project...

Our two rookies are both competent and top-class.

Now, which would you date?

Let's see...

Both?

No can do.

Why?

Though I believe this offer will start out broad,

we can begin by...

There's no way...

There's just no way!

I can't concentrate on my job

in this situation!

Don't have sex with anyone but me.

- Just leave already. - He's insincere.

Go to hell, you bastard...!

Anzu, if you and Tetsuya stick together, I'l get jealous and want to mess it all up.

I'll make you forget a kiss like his.

Not at the office.

If you're telling me to be exclusively yours in bed,

then I'd better not see you talking to Kakeru either.
