When the news shocks both families, an unusual proposal looms over Nagi and Erika without their prior knowledge. In an attempt to restore family harmony and ensure everyone’s happiness, their parents propose an unusual compromise: that Nagi and Erika become engaged to each other and are returned to their respective biological families.
However, Nagi and Erika find themselves at odds with this plan drawn up without their consent. Both strongly resist, refusing to conform to their parents’ wishes. Given the obstinacy of both parties, time becomes the sole judge of the evolution of their relationship and the fate that awaits them.
