Perfect Propose

Hirokuni Watari is a salaryman who is constantly overworked at his job. One evening, Hirokuni is visited by Kai Fukaya, his younger childhood friend. Kai, who had made a marriage proposal to Hirokuni as a child 12 years ago, declares to him that he is gay. Having moved out of the family-owned restaurant he worked at after his boss was hospitalized, Kai has no place to live, and Hirokuni reluctantly allows him to stay in his apartment.

As Kai begins living with Hirokuni, he cooks and cleans for him, and gradually, Hirokuni's quality of life changes for the better. Over time, Hirokuni realizes he has grown fond of Kai; however, he continues to be stressed from being overworked, made worse by his demanding boss and his co-workers, Sakamoto and Kaneko, resigning. One day, Kai reveals that his boss will be released from the hospital and asks for Hirokuni's opinion on whether he should move back, but Hirokuni is unable to give him an answer.

Shortly after, Hirokuni finally finishes his company's project. When he returns home, Kai has already decided to move out. Hirokuni reveals to Kai that he returns his feelings romantically and persuades him to stay. Together, they remain in the apartment as a couple, while Kai works as his boss's successor and Hirokuni resigns from his company to work at Kaneko's newly established firm.
