Relationships take on many forms. Some can be fleeting, delicate things that only last a moment, while others are sure and steady and can last a lifetime. More often than not, relationships fall somewhere in between, but whatever the relationship, each one is as unique as the people in them. Take the eight different couples in this story, for example. While each of them ends up sharing a night, how that night looks and what comes the morning after is entirely different. For the man reunited with his former high school classmate, the feelings he has harbored all these years give their time together a very specific meaning. Meanwhile, an evening shared by two individuals who regularly hook up for sex takes on an entirely different one. No matter what their dynamic may be, each couple in this series has this in common: they each share a meal the morning after. The question is, where do things go between them, once they’ve finished their breakfast?

A portal to another dimension is suddenly discovered. What spread out beyond the nondescript door was a parallel world with a history different from this one. This year marks 50 years since the world behind the door was named "PORTAL" and observations of its interior began. "PORTAL-X" is a program that has been broadcast for many years with the aim of utilizing the failure cases of various portals in our society. Kaif is a new program director who reports on all sorts of parallel worlds, and Luna is a program cameraman. The various parallel worlds and portals that the two of them cover are all worlds where people have made wrong choices at turning points in history and have fallen into irreversible situations. What is shown on camera are food shortages, a world where immortality has been achieved, a society that has not achieved true diversity, an extremely low birthrate, and a world that relies entirely on luck.
