Please Say Yes

Motokawa is a man who speaks his mind without hesitation, never pausing to filter his thoughts before they leave his mouth. In stark contrast, Okumura has spent his professional life navigating the quiet isolation of colleagues who began avoiding him the moment they discovered he was gay. On the surface, the two men appear to have absolutely nothing in common, making them an unlikely pairing for any collaborative effort within their workplace. However, circumstances shift when Motokawa is entrusted with securing a remarkably large and demanding contract. Faced with the weight of this high-stakes assignment, he realizes there is only one person capable of serving as his co-lead: Okumura. Motokawa is quick to justify his choice through purely practical terms, insisting that he selected Okumura solely because of his unwavering sense of responsibility and serious dedication to his work. Yet, beneath this strictly professional reasoning lies a detail Motokawa struggles to ignore. Despite his insistence that the partnership is entirely business-driven, he cannot help but notice how undeniably cute Okumura’s smile is—a subtle realization that hints at deeper, unspoken feelings beginning to complicate their new working relationship.
