Episode 5 Synopsis
Without Mao's (Saito Kyoko) knowledge, Hajime (Shirota Yu) and Mika (Kabashima Hikaru) were having dinner... Mao is shocked when she hears this from Mika and is unable to look Hajime in the eye. "We are a fake couple... It doesn't matter who Director Ando is having dinner with..." Mao tells herself, but she can no longer suppress her jealousy and rejects Hajime. "You don't even like me... Stop doing this!" she says, pushing him away and creating a huge gap between them...
Mao pretends to be calm and gets to work, but her junior colleague Yuka (Kudo Haruka), who senses the change, invites her to go to dinner together, and the two go to a bar together at night. "So, is it possible that Koshiba-san is worried about Director Ando?" Mao is startled when Yuka, who has good intuition, almost sees through her relationship with Hajime, and tries to evade the question by saying, "Why? Director Ando is from a completely different world than me," but Yuka replies, "That's not true." According to Yuka, who is always close by, Hajime's usually strict expression softens in front of Mao, and "Koshiba-san's love is overflowing." "I don't want to feel happy..." Mao's heart tightens. Then Yuka starts talking about the truth behind Hajime and Mika's dinner, saying, "That's right, the other day, Director Ando and Azuma-san...", and Mao is surprised and speechless... Meanwhile, Hajime is depressed after being rejected by Mao, and when his concerned colleague Ikezaki (Watanabe Dai) asks him, "Are you not telling the truth?" Hajime replies, "Don't say anything unnecessary, this is my problem."
What is the "secret" of Hajime that only Ikezaki knows?! And after learning the "truth about Hajime and Mika's meals", Mao makes up her mind and takes action! "I don't want to kill my feelings anymore!"... What is the surprising decision that Mao makes after giving up on holding back?!
