Takuya and Rika are singles who work for a travel agency. One day, their manager announces that someone from their location must become a branch manager at the Alaska location opening next year!

Takuya receives a call from someone who knows their engagement is a hoax. Their colleague Gonda insists on visiting. Gonda brings Keisuke and Komiya to tag along and they drill Takuya and Rika's plan to get married.

Rika's mother Ritsu and Takuya's father, Koichi, somehow learn about his son's fake wedding plans. The young man's father takes a flight to Tokyo to visit his son's workplace.

Rika and Takuya announce that they don't plan on getting married. After seeing how close Nao and Takuya are, Rika keeps an emotional distance from him. Ritsu arranges to set Rika up with Osawa, who pays Rika a surprise visit at work!

Nao moves to Tokyo, and Rika spills her frustrations about Takuya's wavering feelings to the newcomer. Nao then calls Takuya to Rika's apartment. It's time to confront the man! Meanwhile, Gonda hits it off with Kaori, a girl he met on a dating app.

Takuya confessed his love to Rika, but she doesn't understand what he sees in her. To find out, she takes him on a date! Gonda tells Kaori that he wants a serious relationship with marriage in mind... but Kaori has a secret.

Rika and Takuya can't forget about their kiss, so much so that they can't focus at work. They then receive a task: A close-up report called Our Quality HTS Life. The pretend-couple must move in together and write a blog about their lives.

Nao gives Rika and Takuya's scheming away. Worse yet, Nao even mentions that she and Takuya used to date, which distresses Rika. Osawa asks Rika out on a date, but Rika is still shaken. She starts to come to terms with her feelings toward Takuya.

Realising how she feels about Takuya, Rika heads to Yokohama where they had their first date. Takuya decides to be honest about his feeling towards Rika and goes to look for Rika.
