Keiji confesses to his lover Yoshiko that he intends to get married. However, Yoshiko is hesitant because he is older than Keiji and rejects his proposal
Yoshiko was appointed by the newly appointed company president Okawa and became his secretary. Okawa invites Yoshiko to go to the villa in Izu for vacation, and asks her to find a driver who will replace the full-time driver during the vacation. Yoshiko remembered that Keiji was in the car club when she was in college, so she recommended Keiji as a temporary driver.
That night, Yoshiko and Keiji agreed to meet at an izakaya. Keiji is drinking with his colleague Yamashita. Yoshiko saw Yamashita, didn't dare to recognize each other, and quietly left the izakaya. Keiji didn't notice this scene.
In the days that followed, there were some misunderstandings and distance between Keiji and Yoshiko. Yoshiko thought that Keiji didn't care about age, but that he was not honest enough with her. Keiji thought Yoshiko rejected him because of his age, and felt inferior and troubled by it.
