Although Aoshima and Yukino work at the same company, they have never spoken to each other. One day, they happen to meet at a bar that Yukino frequents, and they end up sitting next to each other! When she receives a call from a friend, Yukino remembers that she had made a promise to attend a wedding "with her boyfriend" and panics, saying, "Oh no, we broke up six months ago...!"
