Yuta Natori is a junior in high school, enjoying the peace and quiet of his school life when out of the blue, Kazushi Setoguchi, a freshman, asks him to be his boyfriend. Being straight, Yuta declines politely, but ever since, Kazushi keeps showing up wherever he goes... Days of this, and Yuta can't take it anymore. He blows up at Kazushi, thinking he will finally get the message... but uh-oh. Why is he looking at Yuta so adoringly!?
