Coworkers Yui Mitsuya and Masugu Tateishi are the last people anyone would expect to get along—especially with their constant office quarrels. However, looks can be deceiving: they are actually dating! Afraid to lose the peace of their professional lives, Yui and Masugu play up their discord even more to ensure nobody discovers their secret.
