"don't worry, big boy. im already taken."

that's when chris' ring is shown and he reaches a hand around leon's waist.

bam, motherfucker. chris gay redfield and leon s gay kennedy are married.

With the news of Shiro’s death, Adam found a way to forgive him. Not because the break up stopped hurting, but because holding onto the pain/anger was no way to mourn someone he’d loved so deeply.

Forgiving Shiro had become a way of holding him in his heart.

I know that when discussing highlight moments from Cherry Magic's Japan drama adaptation, online discussions focus on the really romantic/funny moments of the show (e.g. the iconic scarf moment, when Kurosawa confessed, etc.), but my personal favorite is something that I barely see come up. It's in Episode 2, when Adachi was unfortunately being belittled by his senior while praising the sales department ace Kurosawa, who did help him out – and how Kurosawa was not having it.

Is this scene also in the manga? Yes, it is, but it's not given as much impact because it came off like a funny transitional scene to when Kurosawa and Adachi go eat out together with expired vouchers. But the drama really made sure this scene was taken seriously; it shows how Adachi's self-esteem issues remained because of how his coworkers perceived him, and why Adachi often kept comparing himself to Kurosawa early on in the story. Hell, he even dreaded Kurosawa coming over to his desk at the start of this scene... implying that this was not the first time he had to go through it. adachi get behind me

Contrary to seniors' perceptions of him as lacking presence and being a slow worker, it was shown from the very first episode that Adachi is hardworking! He's super meticulous with his outputs, and he puts in the effort. They just do not see it because of his meekness and that he is too nice to externalize anything distasteful towards them, and too considerate to even reject the work being passed on to him.

When his senior calls Kurosawa over, he was already pensive. Kurosawa kept clarifying that he merely helped, and that it was Adachi who got the job done. But the conversation turns sour because Adachi gets called "unreliable," and the next shot focuses on Kurosawa's reaction. He was not letting their senior talk about Adachi like that.

So what follows is Kurosawa passive-aggressively telling their senior off while vouching for Adachi as a peer, then telling him that he should be thanking Adachi instead. From the dialogue alone, it's implied (and somewhat confirmed in later episodes, especially when they detail how he came to have feelings for Adachi in Episode 7) that Kurosawa knows how he is treated.

Here, we see that apart from his unhinged, eyebrow-raising fantasies about his crush, he genuinely cares about him – enough to be aware of his reputation at work and make use of it to defend his honor. And Adachi knows it, which touches his heart for the nth time since he started reading minds. I don't know about you guys, but this is the peak of office romance to me, IDGAF. In my language, kinikilig ako!

Ending this post with Machida Keita nailing the passive-aggressive corporate smile as Kurosawa Yuichi, one of the best losers loverboys of our generation.
