Mikumo runs a cozy cafe, while Yano manages a general store, and their respective businesses are situated directly above and below one another within the very same building. Given their constant proximity, the two share an undeniable closeness that leads everyone around them to assume they are together.

An entirely unlikely being keeps a watchful eye on the pair, observing every missed opportunity and lingering glance from the shadows. As Mikumo and Yano navigate the delicate space between friendship and love, this hidden spectator remains the sole keeper of their unresolved story.
