Haruka Wakamatsu, a third-year Junior high school student, meets a freshman from the same school at the station. He is wearing an oversized uniform, and well asleep on the bench. Haruka is a caring person, so he cannot leave the bottom of the student's trousers dragging and getting damaged. He tries to roll them up... This is how he becomes acquainted with Shu Hachiya. Gradually, the two boys begin to fall for each other.
