After the play’s triumphant debut, Hayama and Shirasaki confront their true feelings—both as actors and as something more.

Caught by their manager, Yuki and Hayama are told to end things just as their drama mirrors real life.

Caught between his mother’s pressure and his father’s offer, Hayama feels lost until Shirasaki’s gentle support helps him rediscover the path he truly wants to follow. Haunted by memories of his mother, Hayama falters on set and clashes with Shirasaki—until Haruka suddenly appears before him.

Yuki and Hayama move in together, but a new audition brings Yuki face to face with his idol director.

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.

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.

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.

Hayama faces a painful choice between his dream role on stage and a career-defining film offer.

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

Rivals on stage, Yuki and Hayama must compete for the same role while their love hangs in the balance.
