Iori feels useless when he listens to Kaho's story.
At this time, Xiangho's debut novel was published.
Seeing Iori being so happy as if it was her own business, Kaho thought of Shinya who was completely uninterested in his own business.
In his life with Zhenya, Xiangho always thought that it didn't matter how he was.Exposed to Iori's innocent tenderness, Kaho is reminded of how important the novel is to him.

The date Iori chose was the aquarium.Xiangho seemed to be having a lot of fun, and Iori couldn't help but be fascinated. He mustered up the courage to hold Xiangho's hand, and the two held hands and enjoyed the date at the aquarium.During their date at the aquarium, Xiangho records what he notices.She recalls that she never went out with her parents as a child and barely dated Shinya, and begins to realize that the time she spent with Iori brought her joy.
On the way home after completing the research in the name of dating, Iori stretched out her little finger and said: “Can you go on a date with me like this again?”After hearing this, Xiangfan also quietly stretched out her little finger and made an agreement with him.
And all of this was watched silently by a shadow not far away...
Shinya's life is in chaos, his room is dirty, he neither washes nor cooks, and can only wear wrinkled shirts when he goes to work.He also made frequent mistakes at work, and was severely reprimanded by Minister Sato (Uryuta Yoshida) as never before.At the same time, Minoru (Takaai Mori) learned from Kaho that the reason why she was asked for a divorce was that she was angry because of Shinya's improper relationship...

A few days later, Xiangho received a call from Zhenya.Zhenya did not tell the company that he was divorced, but said that the minister was suddenly coming to my house and I hope you can help me prepare meals.Xiangho didn't say anything. After hanging up the phone, he held the phone tightly and recalled that Zhenya went drinking late every night, and then said drunkenly that if he lost to those guys at the same time, he might as well be completely finished ---
In the heavy rain, Iori finished her part-time job and returned to the entrance of her apartment, where she found Akari (Kawazu Asuka) waiting there...
Unable to refuse Shinya (played by Shinya Hasegawa)'s unreasonable plea, Xiangho (played by Kubota Sayu) pretended to be his wife and greeted the morning at Kaneori's house.Looking at the graduation photo album, I recall the happy days when I just moved into my new home.
On the other hand, Iori (Akiya Sano) learned from Akari (Asuka Kawazu) that Kaho was at Shinya's house and greeted the morning uneasily.After Xiangho came back, she pretended to be calm to greet her, but after learning from Xiangho that she had returned to Zhenya's house, she could not hide her inner shock.Xiangfan, who had to respond to the other party's request even if he sacrificed himself, exchanged the promise of "I hope you can cherish yourself".
Iori was also delighted to have her father Isao (Hiroto Yoshimitsu) who found someone he liked, and Iori was also invited to a Japanese restaurant for dinner.Drinking wine that I don't usually drink, I told my father that Xiangfan was a divorced woman.The atmosphere was harmonious, but the atmosphere suddenly changed, and my father was firmly opposed to the marriage.
Iori came home drunk and said to Miss Xiangho: "Can you charge me?"% Open your hands and seek a hug.
At this moment, Iori's home was also visited by Isao, who also said that he would not allow a woman who had been divorced once, and persuaded her to go on a blind date alone.Iori, who also wants to reconsider inheriting the company, tells Kaho that her feelings are unshakable, and Kaho also heard this...

Minoru is determined to break up with Longji, but she is troubled by it.Although Xiangho couldn't say anything, Omi said to her: "Misaki, you are not wrong."
At this moment, Xiangho received a letter from Zhenya (Shin Hasegawa) congratulating on the publication, and Zhenya talked about his thoughts on the novel.Xiangho was confused by the change of Zhenya, who categorically refused to say that novels were just an interest when they got married. Zhenya pleaded that among the people negotiating with the contract that was about to be terminated were fans of Xiangho's novels, and he hoped to meet her as his wife.
Kaho went to the negotiation table as Shinya's wife.And what was there was Shinya's trading partner - Hirato Iman, the president of Hojo Real Estate, and Iori...! Iori reunited as Isao's son, and Kaho met again as Shinya's wife.
When Isao stood up from his seat using the phone, Iori, Kaho, and Shinya were left behind, and the ominous atmosphere continued to flow...
Please choose me——.
Iori (Akiya Sano)'s blunt thoughts through the walkie-talkie pierced Kaho (Sayu Kubota).
Being with the mentally and physically exhausted Shinya (played by Shin Hasegawa) is the right choice, and Kaho begins to consider getting back together with him.
“Have been together for ten years, right?”“We are destined to be inseparable.”Zhenya said to Xiangho.
However, Xiangho's encounter with Iori made her realize that she should cherish herself.
The answer given by Xiangfan is——
Starting from the “night after divorce”, Iori and Kaho's “first love”.
The pure and loving love story between Iori and Kaho finally comes to an end.
