Akino harbors a deep-seated disdain for his coworker, Kataoka. The younger man’s perpetual arrogance never fails to ignite Akino’s temper whenever their paths cross in the workplace. However, a chance encounter one evening completely shifts the dynamic between them. While out drinking, Akino stumbles upon Kataoka sharing a kiss with another man. Thrilled at having finally uncovered a vulnerability in his insufferable colleague, Akino immediately schemes to use this secret as leverage to blackmail him. Yet, his calculated plan quickly unravels. Instead of gaining the upper hand, the situation takes a dramatic and unexpected turn, leaving Akino entirely off balance. Refusing to accept defeat, his competitive fury transforms into a bold new declaration: he vows to force Kataoka to confess his feelings for him. What follows is a volatile clash between two very different men—one a self-proclaimed playboy who insists he loves no one, and the other a stubbornly foolish rival willing to go to any length to prove his superiority. Bound together by workplace proximity and an escalating game of pride, their contentious relationship spirals into something neither could have anticipated.
