Summary: (For full story, click here)


In Kippei's route, the main character has stuck by her husband and is actively attempting to salvage her marriage and the beginning starts with her and Kippei pairing up to redesign a kindergarten. It is through this job the two get stuck spending some alone time in an inn during a typhoon, all thanks to him jinxing them on the train. Koichi and both sets of parents don't like the fact she's been spending most of her time at work when she should start making babies. 

Drama ensues and one rainy night after another drunken rendezvous with Kippei the main character discovers Koichi with the other women in a hotel. The main character is left in despair and claims she no longer wants to live causing Kippei to put things into perspective by depressing her further with the story of his deceased brother that raised him. She ends up spending the night at his house, and they go for a walk in the park the next day. Unknown to her at the time, her mother was watching the two when she called to ask where her daughter was. 

The main character receives another earful about quitting her job before she saves the life of her jerk face husband from getting hit by a car, thus leading to her hospitalization. Kippei, being the sweetheart he is, has utilized his gardening knowledge to leave her flowers in the hospital room even though Koichi requested no one from work to visit her. One day after she wakes up, she overhears Koichi confronting Kippei about his visitations and Kippei tells him he only sees her as an irreplaceable employee. MC is depressed and doesn’t eat anything. Her husband then tricks Kippei to rush in one morning and lets them talk.  Both of them confess their true feeling, and they even tells MC’s husband. Koichi actually showing his good side, does give MC's request in having a divorce. After recovering and getting back to work, MC also has her divrorce filed.  After the welcoming back party at work, she goes to Kippei’s place and they spend the night together.


Epilogue: (For full story, click here)

As MC is a divorced woman and also that Kippei is her supervisor, MC fears that she would affect Kippei’s reputation as work. As such, she prefers to keep their relationship from their colleagues. On the other hand, Kippei seems not to care about their relationship been known by others. There seems to be rumor that Kippei is going to get promoted.  Kippei hasn’t told MC anything about it though.  

Due to their busy works  (MC also works on a project with Aiba), they are kind of missing the chance to get everything out.  At last, it’s Kippei who has planned for a short trip and reinforces each other’s feeling.


Another Story: (For full story, click here)

Another Story starts when MC starts to get divorced with her husband.  MC gets team-up with Kippei by their boss as it turns out that their boss believes they can help each other out.  MC also moves out from her parents’ house as her father dislikes her divorce.  By chance she moves to Kippei’s next door.  

With work and with life as a neighbour, MC starts to see different sides of Kippei.  As the boss has foreseen, MC actually helps Kippei to get back his way to his original dream.  Although they are attracted to each other, MC loses confidence in love as she doesn’t want to be betrayed again.  MC gets to move back to her parents’ place after her father collapses. As she has to help her mother to take care of her father, Kippei helps MC whenever he can and asks MC to rely on him.  

For Happy Ending, MC’s father forgives MC for her divorce (a feeling of out-of-the-blue of her father when I get this ending) and says that she can move out if she wants to.  After she gets back to work, her colleagues gossip that Kippei has changed a lot recently (being nicer).  MC then sees a female colleague from other department expresses her love to Kippei and that Kippei rejects her politely and indicates that his heart is on someone else.  Kippei then finds out MC is there all the time.  He invites MC to rooftop for a break with him.  MC expresses her love to Kippei and Kippei takes her to an unnoticed spot and kisses MC over and over.  

For Super Happy Ending, MC’s parents ask to visit the cafe that MC has been working on, and Kippei actually asks for the permission of the owner and goes there with them.  MC’s father finally forgives MC for her divorce and hopes she can be free to do whatever she wants to.  After the visit to the cafe, MC is reluctant to be departed with Kippei.  She decides to run to Kippei’s place after departed. After a night together, Kippei asks MC to live together with him as he loves her so much that he can’t stand living without her.
