Metropolitan Affairs: "Tokyo 25:00" Episode 4 finally arrives! This time, the exquisite beauty Kokomi Naruse appears, whom I met during an infrastructure development project. She joined as project support, but since she came in midway, she seemed somewhat isolated. I approached her and casually invited her out for drinks—just a light-hearted gesture at first. When we were alone, she quickly set aside work talk, letting loose with the alcohol, laughing heartily at even the dumbest old man jokes, nodding deeply at everything I said, clapping her hands in amusement. In that moment, I felt a sudden urge to monopolize this happiness. Seizing the opportunity, I began inviting her out more often, spending increasing time together, until eventually we became lovers. Now, exactly one year has passed since we first met. My affair with Kokomi started as a fleeting romance amid our busy work lives, but gradually grew into a deep, unbreakable bond.
