At twenty-eight, Junko Sakuraba dreams of living and working in New York City but is stuck teaching English. While disappointed by her unfulfilled aspirations and lack of romantic experience, she attends a funeral where she meets Takane Hoshikawa, a handsome monk.

Her embarrassment deepens when she is tricked into a matchmaking session and discovers Takane is the other party. Their unexpected encounters raise questions about whether their relationship is coincidental or destined.
