No shot she feels anything other than ambivalence at best for him, right?

That said - I can definitely feel sympathy for her situation, even if she's portrayed as a "cold-hearted type". But if her pushing him so much all this time was in an effort to meet that ridiculous "condition" from her grandfather, it at least contextualizes her aggressive tactics and focus.

I assume the plan is to try and somehow fulfill the condition in six months' time. That, or get him into a position that her grandfather would condone an engagement between them. I doubt that one more, since a certain pedigree would be required in a marriage candidate and Ryuu.....doesn't seem like he'd match that criteria.

I’m sorry but I am confused right now, anyone explain why is she crying?

edit: nevermind, I think I got it and it just made it worst for her to go up to the roof and heard him

Kinda dogshit conditions for everyone involved, sounds like the J/K-Entertainment industry.

MCs mental is definitely spiralling but him being honest now would be good shit. Thanks for the TL.

Not buying this attempt to rationalize her treatment of him. Sure, it sucks she's being forced into an arranged marriage by her exploitative grandfather. But to save her own skin she's become the exploitative idol for the MC. It's a vicious cycle of exploitation!

I think this is a story about boundaries. You need to tell your deranged billionaire grandfather off, and if he does not respect that, then push him off a balcony. You need to stand your ground against an employer who calls you after work hours and demands you work on something immediately. And if they don't respect that boundary, then do your work half-assed!

So he's only 20? Meaning he is the same age as the idol, meaning the girl from the flashback was definitely her?

He's the fiance, isn't he? That, or she'll cook up some scheme where they date to make the grandfather go away.

there's no way he's the guy her super affluent & old-fashioned grandfather handpicked to be her marriage partner.
Even dating wouldn't dissuade a man who thinks like he's portrayed to operate.

But I do think the ploy will be him helping her meet the condition set by her grandfather, and along the way they'll end up falling for one another.

They should just go public that a hotel chain is trying to force a popular idol into retiring and getting married against her will. The rabid neckbeards would probably terrorize the business.

That is what I was thinking. If you announce the forced marriage and keep the numbers out to only focus on it being cd sales, you can make the grandpa very unpopular.

If you prop up the manager manager romance you could grab a sizable female audience on the drama alone.

Maybe even renegotiate her commission with the agency to afford a share of grandpas company, which would drastically alter the situation and reinforce her standing even after she has to normally retire.

So she's trying to meet this arbitrary condition set by her grandfather so she doesn't "have to" marry a random guy? Who can actually force her if she refuses...? Is she afraid of losing her inheritance, despite being a popular idol who definitely makes a decent living? This garbage is in the same tier as the "I have to become a man worthy of you" cliche
