Synopsis

Takahata Yume is an instructor at a cooking school and lives with her daughter, Haruka, in a house in the suburbs. One day, she gets a house call from Shibaki Mitugu, Haruka’s newly transferred teacher. He is also the younger brother of Kunio Nagasawa, Haruka’s biological father who abandoned Yume before Haruka was born. Shibaki has been in love with Yume since then, and nominates her for PTA board member. When the home economics teacher takes a leave of absence, he asks the principal to replace her with Yume. She is traumatized by a past broken relationship and divorce, but she gradually begins to have feelings for Shibaki. However, Shibaki is currently living with his college classmate and colleague, Ito Hatsune. At the same time, Hosaka Shinpei, Yume’s childhood friend and ex-husband and Haruka’s father on the family registry, who is now remarried to his former mistress, Amiko, pressures her to get back together with him. In the meantime, Kunio, who has returned to Japan, announces himself as Haruka’s father and approaches Yume. (Source: subie06 @DA)
