That is, until she arrives at her accommodations and finds none other than the man himself waiting for her behind the door!

When Ayako's sister died, leaving her young daughter all alone, Ayako stepped up and took the child into her life. Now that her niece/adopted daughter is a teenager, a 30-something Ayako can sense first love in the air. Ayako teases her daughter about Takumi, their handsome and college-aged neighbor, who's been tutoring her since she was young--could they be a blossoming couple, since he's always beaming when he comes to their house? To Ayako's surprise, Takumi isn't interested in daughter dearest: he's long had a crush on Ayako herself! In this age gap romantic comedy, one young man is ready to bring a little sugar to the sexy mom next door.

It’s no secret that Ayako believes she’s too old to entertain the advances of her college-age neighbour, Takumi. And when Takumi and Ayako finally go on their first date, she can’t help but feel like all eyes are on her. After all, she’s spending the day at an amusement park with a man more than ten years her junior! She’s still not sure how to handle his fervent affection…but when a series of disasters leads to a night spent together in a hotel room, will Ayako finally be able to admit she’s falling–just a little?
