Amase Takumi, who aspired to become a professional chef, had lost his live-in job when the restaurant he worked at closed down, leaving him without a job. As he searched for his next employment opportunity, he was repeatedly rejected. But one day, he happened to walk into a café and was surprised to find a familiar face. Inside the café were photographer Sakiyama Ryoji, model Mashima Daiya, and their uncle, the café’s owner Sōichirō. Taku recalled his past infatuation with Ryōji and the words Ryōji had once said to him.
