The Perfect Woman

Who said beautiful women could get their way wherever they went?

Why has her beauty brought her nothing but pain?

And who said an ugly woman couldn't be perfect?

Now, being a little ugly is her only flaw! It's just that everyone pretends not to notice!

Sigh, she's already given up her dreams and changed her appearance, so why hasn't happiness come her way?

When will someone discover the beauty she's hidden away?

A promise made long ago became a shackle that bound him for life.

The deadline is almost here, yet the woman he wants to find is still nowhere to be found.

What can he do to find the perfect woman in his heart?

The Meeting:

A bowl cut, antique glasses, and huge buck teeth. That's what she looks like by day: ugly, yet ordinary. Only when night falls over the city does she take off her disguise and seek true warmth through music...

“Starting today, you're my assistant.”

What?! Does he really mean this tacky, hideously ugly woman? Why? Is there something wrong with his head?

“I came back especially for you!”

What?! He can't be joking, can he? Why has her first love, the one who once broke her heart so cruelly, come back? What kind of rotten luck has she had lately?

Getting Closer:

What? A business trip?! And she has to spend an entire week alone with him? No way! B-because just looking at him makes her heart race! Waaaah... What is she supposed to do? She's afraid she won't be able to control herself!

“Daisies are often given by people with secret crushes. Their language is: ‘Do you love me?’”

“As long as you can remember the taste of happiness, the love and faith in your heart will never disappear!”

“I think you must have appeared in your parents' memories of that time, too!”

Why does she always overlap with the figure in his memories? Ha, but they're obviously two different people, aren't they? Please stop presumptuously radiating that overwhelming warmth! It makes him want to get closer!

Falling in Love:

She's fallen in love with him! Hopelessly. But what about him? Can he really cherish someone as ugly as her?

Why did he have to learn where she was just when everything was going so smoothly?

“Sir, do... do we know each other?”

Looking at the terrified woman in front of him and the unfamiliarity in her eyes, he finally understood what it meant to have a broken heart. Why had she forgotten him? Why?

A Cruel Love:

So she was the one he'd been searching for all along! But... why couldn't she remember any of it?

Forced into marriage and tormented, she was played like a pawn by him again and again. Then she began to despair, measuring the distance between heartbreak and a heart that had died.

He truly couldn't forgive her! No matter what, he would make her learn what it meant to suffer, to grow numb, and to despair!

But once a heart has died, is there any chance at all that things can be restored? No one knows...

Looking Back:

A misunderstanding, a kidnapping, a great fire.

Was it a blessing or a curse?

Will she wake up?

Will she remember?

He regretted it. He truly regretted it. But was there still time to make things right?
