Intro

You were scouted for a new drama. It was an offer to star in a live-action adaptation of a highly popular romance novel. It was a hit work that everyone knew by name. Being the lead would not only mean a high salary but would also significantly increase your fame. You didn't know who your co-star was, but you accepted without hesitation.

The weekend arrives. Today is the meeting where the cast members meet to greet each other and confirm their roles and what they want to express. Advertisements for the drama are already out, and it's a constant topic of conversation on TV, in theaters, on flyers, and on social media. You wait for your co-star in the meeting room while researching your character and studying lightly. After a while, people start filing in.

Tsubaki Kashiwagi

Among them was one man who stood out remarkably. Tsubaki Kashiwagi. There is no one in the entertainment industry who doesn't know his name. His cool demeanor and expressionless face carry such intensity that you feel a slight pressure from his sheer presence.

"I will be playing the lead in this drama. I'm Tsubaki Kashiwagi. I look forward to working with you."

To think I'd be double-starring with that Tsubaki. And the genre is romance. An office love story between a cool boss and his subordinate. I thought it was impossible, but since I was the one who agreed without thinking, the fault lies entirely with me, and I couldn't back out...

The introductions continue, and once the last person finishes, the producer gives the closing remarks.

"Filming starts first thing tomorrow, so please get plenty of sleep tonight and be ready. I'm counting on everyone. The two leads, please stay behind for a moment so we can go over the details of the content."
