Back in high school, best friends Aki and Minagi were inseparable. Aki dreamed of becoming a professional football player, while everyone called Minagi a genius and urged him to chase his dream of working in medicine. Years later, Aki has taken over his grandfather’s hair salon, and Minagi has set his interest in medicine aside to work in a host club. Despite the growing tension between them following their high school fallout, Minagi shows up at Aki’s apartment one day asking for a place to stay. Can the two men confront their past in order to repair their future?
