KOI NO KISEKI

Episode Five

Right when Ayako was about to be chosen as a campaign model for a cosmetics company using the theme of an "evil woman", a fax was sent to the advertising department with a picture of Tsukamoto Taeko, Ayako's former name when she was obese, and with a message saying that Inoue Ayako used plastic surgery.

Ayako knew right away that Yukino was behind all this, and all she could do was think about how to take revenge.

The advertising department didn't know what to do about this. The whole time, they were really excited about the commercial and the image of the "evil woman", and the fact that they would be able to use a beautiful woman like Ayako for their commercial. It was hard to take on their part. But Ayako's boss visits Ijiri-san and finds out that it wasn't plastic surgery, but a strenuous diet that Ayako underwent that made her this thin and beautiful. Things were starting to go in Ayako's direction after this.

On the other hand, Kai-kun also believed that the fax was another trick by Yukino and calls her to find out the truth. But Yukino tells Kai-kun to make Ayako step down from her campaign(cosmetics CM). He gets outrageous at this last statement and says, "If you don't change your attitude, you will never be able to change and will proceed to be evil". But Yukino didn't say anything back, as if she weren't even listening.

The whole time, it seemed that Yukino was trying to win over Ayako in order to win the approval of Kai-kun, who she was in love with. But this time, Kai-kun was just another enemy of hers. Over at his company, he was looked upon as a stalker by his colleagues as a result of another dirty scheme plotted by Yukino.

She also tells Ayako that if she didn't step down, something bad would happen to her too.

Ayako was still surprised at how evil Yukino was. But Kai-kun was on her side and not Yukino's, so all she could do was wait and see who would be chosen as the campaign model for the cosmetics CM.

Kai-kun asks Yukino to tell the police the truth about the acid incident, or else he would go to the police and tell them himself, which would virtually ruin her career. But she tempts Kai-kun and walks up into his room. Up till now, Kai-kun was always weak to Yukino and her tempting. But this time, Kai-kun wasn't taking any of it. He tells Yukino to get out and raises his hand, but then Yukino lets out a scream. Yukino recalls her past when she was raped. She tells this to Kai-kun. And it also seems that Yukino also met Ijiri-san for counseling. She, like Ayako, threw away her past.

But Kai-kun couldn't hurt Yukino any further. He embraces Yukino, but behind him, Ayako was watching with total shock in her eyes.

The whole night, Ayako was crying and didn't know what to do. She remembers the artist(Fujii Fumiya) who drew a picture of her when she was fat. The artist told Ayako(Taeko at the time) that she would be able to make everyone around her happy. She visited that artist again, but he didn't recognize her. But she decides to show him her body, but this time, naked.

The next morning, Ayako brings a picture of her when she was fat, and shows it to the people at the cosmetics company. She tells them that she would like them to use it and release it to the public. Was this a tactic by Ayako?
