Keito works as a chef at Molte Stelle, an exclusive, privately managed Italian restaurant. His routine is disrupted when he is tasked with overseeing the integration of a new hire: Gino, a dessert specialist who has recently arrived from Italy. Far from being an easy colleague to manage, Gino is a quiet, enigmatic man whose aloof and often uncouth demeanor leaves Keito constantly struggling to help him settle into his new role. Despite his rough exterior and unfriendly attitude, Gino harbors a surprising allure that neither body nor soul can easily resist. The tension between the two men reaches an unexpected peak one day when Gino suddenly lunges at Keito, stealing a rich, syrupy kiss that proves to be as intoxicatingly sweet as the desserts he crafts. This startling encounter forces Keito to confront the undeniable magnetism of the inscrutable Italian beauty, blurring the lines between professional frustration and an irresistible attraction that threatens to consume him entirely.
