Meet Saeki, an unremarkable salaryman who has spent three years cohabiting with a girlfriend whose primary focus is stability and marriage. Their life together is less a romance and more a endurance test, a daily grind he simply tolerates. To escape the monotony and his own feelings of inadequacy, Saeki has developed a secret coping mechanism: he vents his frustrations by following the secret side-account of his unbearably perfect boss, Misaki. On the surface, Misaki is everything Saeki is not. She’s ambitious, flawlessly competent at work. She even possessed a overwhelming kindness, a perfect businesswoman. She’s always catch him when he’s fail. Her very existence is a mirror reflecting his own mediocrity. In the middle of night, Saeki scrolling through a secret social media account, one that belonged to his boss, Misaki.
One evening, Saeki cornering her in a deserted alleyway, Saeki intended to strip away her polished facade, to expose the flawed human being he was certain lurked beneath the surface. He lunged, ready to shatter her composure.
But Misaki just smiled.
She did not fight. Instead, with a look of knowing calm, she leaned in and kissed him. That single act in the alleyway was a door swinging open, leading to a series of secret encounter between the boss and her subordinate.
For Saeki, it was a revelation. The sex was unlike anything he had experienced with his girlfriend.
