Miharu, a lonely university student with no family, meets Nio, a handsome entrepreneur who expresses interest in buying a painting that belonged to Miharu’s late parents.

Suspicious of Nio’s claim that he would pay any price, Miharu firmly refuses, only for Nio to inexplicably take a liking to him.

Soon after, Miharu loses his home in a fire. Left with nowhere to go, he is surprised when Nio offers to let him stay with him for the time being.

Miharu reluctantly accepts, unable to read Nio’s true intentions. Though he’s never been good at relying on others or showing his emotions, Nio stirs his heart in a way he’s never experienced before.

What is the answer to this unsettling emotion...?
