Every day he runs around the fire site following his senior Matsui, but he can't quite do what he wants. There was a woman whom such Kosuke treasured. That woman is Hatanaka Nozomi. She is an older woman with a child. Kosuke wants to get married, but Nozomi is reluctant to get married. >> Story 2: ‟Divorced Couple‟ (離婚夫婦) [Director: Ishio Jun] Iwasaki Yuko and Iwasaki Kazuhiko are a couple who have been married for 10 years. However, Yuko leaves her divorce papers and leaves the apartment. Kazuhiko, who works for a real estate company, and Yuko, a magazine editor, are busy with each other, so they often pass each other. However, there was another reason why the two of them didn't get along well. >> Story 3: ‟Groom's Day‟ (婿入りの日) [Director: Iwamoto Hitoshi] Ohara Akihiko is the president of an IT company, which will soon be listed on the stock exchange and has assets of 20 billion yen. He has a girlfriend named Hayashida Miki, whom he has been dating since college. Back then, he was an ordinary college student who just liked computers. On the other hand, Miki was the kind of person the students admired, like a man in a luxury car who would come to pick them up wearing brand-name products. Wanting to become a man who can match Miki, Akihiko has worked hard, and in just four years, the company he founded in his third year of university has grown rapidly, and he eventually became president.
