The story begins with a new chapter in life for a young woman who has just moved in with her husband. She had dreamed of starting fresh, living together in harmony, and enjoying the quiet joys of a new life. But things take an unexpected turn when her husband’s father, "Oyaji," suddenly moves in with them, bringing a new dynamic to their small apartment. The woman, known as "Sumire-san," is caught between her excitement for a new life and the awkward tension that comes with her husband’s father’s presence.
Oyaji is a man of few words but strong presence, and he quickly becomes a fixture in their daily lives. He enjoys his meals, his drinks, and the occasional challenge to Sumire-san’s patience. The initial awkwardness between the two grows into a strange kind of bond, as Oyaji’s easygoing yet persistent nature slowly begins to affect Sumire-san in ways she hadn’t expected. His playful teasing, his unexpected visits, and the way he seems to always know when to push her buttons create a tension that lingers in the air.
As days pass, the relationship between Sumire-san and Oyaji deepens. What starts as a simple coexistence turns into something more intimate. The quiet moments in the apartment, the shared meals, and the occasional late-night conversations all build up to a moment of connection that neither of them expected. Sumire-san, who had once been content with just the quiet companionship of her husband, now finds herself drawn into a new kind of relationship—one that challenges her, excites her, and makes her feel more alive than ever before.
In the end, it’s not just about the new life she’s living with her husband, but also the unexpected pleasure of being with Oyaji. The apartment, once a place of new beginnings, now holds the memory of a connection that started with a simple, shared meal and grew into something far more intense. As Sumire-san lies in bed, feeling the warmth of the night, she realizes that this new chapter in her life has only just begun.
