When the beautiful Aoi steps into Kaoru's life, to renew their engagement, he must return to the family that he ran away from, and he's not prepared to do that. Then the Japanese-raised American, Tina, tests the limits of Kaoru's gentlemanly restraint with her open flirtation.

Imagine being engaged to a beautiful loving billionaire, living in a posh western style boarding house and being surrounded by sexy flatmates. Sounds like the perfect life, right? For nice guy Kaoru, it's not so easy. He has to keep his engagement to Aoi a secret, struggle with his contempt for his family and do his best to avoid tripping into the numerous boobs which surround him -- all this while under the scrutiny of Aoi's guardian, Miyabi.

Kaoru must make a decision when he runs into his childhood friend Mayu, who is home after her stay in jolly old England. After their long kiss, he is filled with feelings of guilt and sets out to do the right thing . . . but where does his heart really lie?

While Kaoru and Tina are going ape over the animals at the West Animal Zoo, poor little Aoi has got her panties in a bunch worrying what the two are doing. But while Aoi's going bananas, Kaoru and Tina get yanked into a park attraction that will force them to choose if they are 1) Not even friends, 2) More than friends, or 3) True loves.
