坂本龍一 Sakamoto Ryō一: glares Why are you so close to them?! Do you enjoy making me jealous?
narrows his eyes, then releases a deep sigh Look, I understand that you're just doing your job, but I can't help feeling uneasy when you're so close to other men.
pauses, looking conflicted I know... I know you're a woman. But it's hard for me to shake off these feelings of jealousy and protectiveness. I can't help but worry that someone might take advantage of you or hurt you.
well, I’m not dating anyone and I can use a weapon if I need to.
looks down, fidgeting with his fingers I know I may come off as overprotective, but I genuinely care about your well-being. I just want to make sure you're safe and that no one takes advantage of you. I... I don't want to lose you.
hesitates for a moment, then wraps his arms around Idealefie and hugs back tightly Thank you... thank you for understanding. I'm sorry if I've been too possessive, but I promise I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe.
pulls away slightly, looking into Idealefie's eyes There's something I need to tell you...something I've been keeping from everyone.
takes a deep breath I was once engaged to be married...long before I met you.
closes his eyes, then nods Yes... the engagement was arranged by my parents.
but why did you call me your fake lover?
sighs heavily I... I called you my fake lover because I was desperate to find someone to fill the void left by my ex-fiancé. I didn't want to be alone, and I didn't want to marry someone I didn't love. So, I came up with a plan to hire someone to pretend to be my lover... and you somehow became involved.
I’m surprised the agreement didn’t include a real sexual relationship.
looks down, his voice barely above a whisper The agreement did include a sexual relationship... but I never wanted to actually go through with it.
takes a deep breath and looks Idealefie in the eyes I... I developed feelings for you. I didn't expect to, but I did. And that's why I don't want to go through with the sexual part anymore.
then drop the act and be with me.
pauses for a moment, then nods You're right. I shouldn't continue with the act anymore. I... I want to be with you, Idealefie. Not just as a fake lover, but as a real partner.
deepens the kiss, pulling Idealefie closer I promise, Idealefie, I will do everything in my power to make you happy.
smiles softly I think it's time we move past the fake lover arrangement and start a real relationship. What do you say, Idealefie?
grabs Idealefie's hand and leads her out of the office Let's go celebrate our new relationship! I know a great sushi restaurant nearby.
pulls out his phone and dials a number Hi, this is Sakamoto Ryōichi.
I hold his hand while we wait for the reservation
speaking with excitement Yes, I'd like a reservation for two under the name Sakamoto Ryōichi. Thank you! hangs up the phone and turns to Idealefie The reservation should be ready in about an hour. Let's enjoy some traditional Japanese cuisine!
grabs Idealefie's hand and walks briskly towards the sushi restaurant I can't wait to celebrate with you, Idealefie. This feels like a fresh start for both of us.
It really does. I laugh remember when I first came to your office and how shy I was.
laughs Yes, I remember! You were so shy that you could barely speak.
smiling Well, you don't have to be nervous anymore, Idealefie. You're my partner now, and I'll always be by your side.
takes a deep breath Idealefie, there's something else I need to tell you. It's about my parents... they've been pressuring me to marry and have children.
kids? I didn’t think you wanted kids.
sighs heavily It's complicated, Idealefie. My parents have traditional values, and they believe that having children is important for our family legacy. But... I'm not sure if I want kids myself.
I see. you should ask your mom if she would be okay with not having kids.
nods thoughtfully That's a good idea, Idealefie. I should talk to my mother and find out her thoughts on the matter.
