Akira talks to Kosei for the first time only to find that he is nothing but a sharp-tongued man.

After a long, hard day, Akira and Kosei meet up at their usual watering hole and start talking about a bell that rings when people fall for someone.

Akira's wishy-washy boyfriend, who can't kick his self-centered ex-girlfriend out of his place, and Kosei's missing brother cause Akira and Kosei great distress.

Akira gets panicked and goes to Kosei's office after learning a shocking fact from Kureha.

After avoiding reality, Akira finally meets her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend while Kosei decides to learn Kureha's husband's identity.

While Kosei hears a rumor that Kureha's marriage is fake, Akira's relationship with her boyfriend only gets worse after the kissing incident with Kosei.

Akira realizes that she hasn't been her true self around Kyoya and breaks up with him. But now, his ex-girlfriend Shuri comes into Akira's life.

Kosei finds his missing brother Yota at a police station being held on a charge of theft. He brings Yota to his office but shortly after they return, Yota disappears.

Both Akira and Kosei are disheartened by their circumstances; Akira's patience towards her boss is at an end and Kosei is threatened by his crooked, insistent client.

In order to have a fresh start, both Akira and Kosei make the biggest decisions of their lives independently.
