One day at work, Suzuko's co-worker offers to become roommates with Suzoko. Suzuko jumps at that chance to move out of her parents house and they set out to find an apartment. Unfortunately, Suzuko's friend never mentions her plan to have her boyfriend Takeshi live with them - until after they sign the lease on their apartment.
