Thirty-something-year-old Ayako never expected her college-student neighbour, Takumi, to confess that he's in love with her. But now that he has, and her attempts to dissuade him have failed, Ayako feels more torn than ever. That is, until her daughter Miu shares some shocking news - Takumi's already moved on to someone new! But if this is the development Ayako's been waiting for, then why does she feel so upset? And why is she spying on him while he's on a date with his new flame?!

Ayako's world is turned upside down when her college-student neighbour, Takumi, confesses his love for her. Despite her initial resistance, Ayako finds herself drawn to him, unable to deny the connection they share. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Takumi is still a student and Ayako is a successful businesswoman.

As time passes, Ayako's feelings for Takumi grow stronger, and she begins to contemplate a future together. But just when things seem to be moving in the right direction, Miu drops a bombshell on Ayako. Takumi has already moved on to someone new!

Ayako is devastated. She had hoped that Takumi's feelings for her were genuine, and she can't understand why he would move on so quickly. She starts to spy on him, following him to his dates and trying to gather information about his new flame.

At first, Ayako's spying is motivated by her desire to understand what happened between them. She wants to know why Takumi moved on so quickly and if there was anything she could have done differently. But as time goes on, Ayako's spying becomes more obsessive, and she starts to question her own feelings for Takumi.

She wonders if she was ever truly in love with him, or if she was just attracted to the idea of a young, handsome man who was interested in her. She starts to doubt her own judgment and wonders if she's making a mistake by pursuing a relationship with Takumi.

As Ayako's spying continues, she becomes more and more isolated from her friends and family. She spends all her time obsessing over Takumi and his new flame, and she becomes increasingly paranoid and suspicious.

One day, Ayako's daughter Miu confronts her about her spying. Miu is angry and hurt that her mother is invading her privacy and spying on her father. Ayako tries to explain that she's just trying to protect her, but Miu doesn't buy it.

In the end, Ayako realizes that her spying has only made her situation worse. She has lost the trust of her daughter and her friends, and she has become consumed by her own obsession with Takumi. She decides to stop spying on him and to focus on rebuilding her relationships with those around her.

It's not an easy road, but Ayako slowly starts to regain her sense of self. She spends more time with her family and friends, and she starts to pursue her own interests and hobbies. She even starts to date again, but this time with a more open heart and a clearer sense of what she wants in a relationship.

Through her journey, Ayako learns the importance of trust, communication, and self-love. She realizes that sometimes, the things we want the most are not always what we need, and that it's important to be true to ourselves and our own desires.

In the end, Ayako finds peace and happiness in her life, even without Takumi. She has learned that love is not just about finding the right person, but about being the right person for ourselves.
