However, it seems Miu has some tricks up her sleeve that will make this vacation one they’ll never forget!

SEALED WITH A KISS?Thanks to her daughter’s scheming, Ayako has finally admitted she’s in love Takumi. She’s so overjoyed at this revelation that the next time she sees him, Ayako can’t stop herself from planting an impromptu kiss right on his lips!

Or are they doomed to keep going in circles?!

Before they can celebrate, though, an unexpected work opportunity forces Ayako to move to Tokyo temporarily. Will these two make the distance work? Or does this spell the end for Ayako and Takumi’s blossoming relationship?

TOKYO TURMOILWhen Ayako first accepted her work assignment in Tokyo, she fully expected to spend a lonely three months without seeing her beloved Takumi. That is, until she arrives at her accommodations and finds none other than the man himself waiting for her behind the door! Navigating cohabitation so early into their relationship proves to be an emotional rollercoaster as these two lovebirds work to figure out both how to work around each other and just how far to take their level of intimacy. But things get even more complicated when Takumi’s ex-girlfriend makes an appearance!

CAN'T HOLD BACK!Now that things with Takumi’s sort-of ex-girlfriend have been resolved, Ayako can finally breathe a sigh of relief knowing her boyfriend won’t be snatched away by a younger woman. In spite of their newfound emotional connection, Ayako and Takumi’s physical intimacy is sorely lacking. Takumi promised he would wait as long as Ayako needed, but she's been too embarrassed to even broach the topic! Mustering up her courage, she decides the time has finally come to take things to the next level. How will Takumi respond to her advances?!
