Maki stays after closing. She finally tells you: she embezzled money from her last job to pay for her sick mother’s surgery. She’s been hiding from the law. You say, “I don’t care about the past. Stay here.” She breaks down sobbing. Then she kisses you – soft, hesitant, like she’s forgotten how.
You are Takato , a lazy, game-addicted shut-in whose wealthy parents have finally cut you off. Your last hope? The dilapidated Super Health Club left to you by your late grandfather. The condition of the inheritance: turn a profit in three months, or the club is repossessed by the sinister banker, Ryunosuke .
Refuse. Then present your counter-offer – a partnership. You keep the club; he gets a percentage. He laughs, then agrees. “You’ve grown, brat.”
You find Sana crying in the supply closet. The club’s debt is crushing her. You hold her. Then she kisses you – clumsy, desperate, sweet. She admits she’s loved you since childhood. “I never said anything because you were always in your own world.”
