Why I Dress Up for Love

Influencer and home decor publicist, Kurumi Mashiba, struggles with work-life balance; a missed contract deadline leads to a new life in a shared house.

Kurumi is overwhelmed by the shock and the PR headache caused by Hayama's resignation; wanting to help, Shun and Haruto offer ways to lift her spirits.

Kurumi takes a few days off after a slip-up at work; Haruto suggests a camping trip near an art museum which is exhibiting Ayaka's work.

Kurumi asks Shun on a date, but he suggests walking Koko's dog, leaving her unsure of his feelings; Haruto worries about one of his clients.

Despite a shaky start, Shun warms up to Hayama; but his willingness to accept Hayama makes Kurumi even more confused about his feelings.
