Plot
Saya Suzuki works as an office employee at Hotel Tōyō. Clumsy and inexperienced in romance, she is often scolded by her strict but capable superior, Susumu Tsuge. Despite his severity, Tsuge suddenly asks her to begin a relationship with him. Saya is still haunted by her middle school first love, Haruki Hino, but gradually enters into a relationship with Tsuge, who supports her as she learns to date again.
Around her, her colleagues also navigate turbulent relationships. Kazuyo Yagami, an older coworker, separates from her lover and later marries another colleague, only to divorce after his infidelity. Ririka Matsuzawa uses family connections to enter the company and pursues men for status, eventually leaving her job to follow a married lover abroad, becoming a single mother after he refuses divorce.
Saya's own life grows more complicated when Haruki, now a popular actor, reappears. Though she maintains her feelings for Tsuge, she struggles with her unresolved attachment to Haruki. Tsuge, meanwhile, faces pressure to marry Shiori, the daughter of an influential family. Rivalries, jealousy, and workplace gossip intensify as Saya tries to balance loyalty to Tsuge with her enduring bond with Haruki.
