STORY A high school freshman named Kako (Tao Tsuchiya) meets a policeman named Kota (Kazuya Kamenashi) at a party. They are attracted to each other but when Kota finds out Kako’s true age, his attitude turns cold as dating a high school girl is definitely off-limits as a policeman. However he gradually takes her feelings seriously and decides that the only way that will allow them to be together is a marriage proposal. They get married under the condition that they keep the marriage a secret until Kako graduates from high school, but there are many obstacles along the way...
