At 25:00, in Akasaka - Season 1

It wasn't easy for Shirasaki to get his new leading role, and his doubt and lack of self-confidence are interfering with his performance.

Hayama encourages Shirasaki to be more confident in his work through their secret arrangement and by going on a date together.

Hayama goes over to Shirasaki's house after work and soothes his worries with curry and his company.

Shirasaki's hard work starts paying off and he starts getting a taste of fame, but he has less chances to spend time with the busy Hayama.

Yamase's sudden appearance starts to negatively affect Hayama, and the interactions between Yamase and Shirasaki give Hayama cause for concern.

Shirasaki inadvertently hears Hayama say something that leaves him deeply dejected during a meal.

Hayama first noticed Shirasaki at a club when he was in college and never thought he would meet him again after so many years.

Before the wrapping of the show, Hayama returns to his alma mater to reflect on the past.

Shirasaki and Hayama are finally able to enjoy being intimate together, but Shirasaki seems to have some misgivings about their relationship.
