A brokenhearted Masato moves into his friend Naruse's second home looking for some peace and quiet, but instead, he finds a man who's very much not his type already occupying the space. Can this messy, ill-tempered intruder help mend his broken heart?

Masato just wants some peace and quiet on his day off, but the kids upstairs continue to make that impossible, so he escapes to his friend Naruse's gay bar. Sympathetic to his ongoing plight, Naruse recommends Masato just move into his second home since he's not using it. But upon his arrival, Masato finds a gruff, untidy older man already living there. Does this real-life odd couple stand a chance as roommates... and perhaps something more?

Masato, a broken-hearted individual, relocates to his friend Naruse's second home in search of solace and tranquility, only to encounter an unexpected roommate: a gruff, untidy older man. Initially, Masato finds this unexpected presence unsettling, as it contradicts his initial expectations of a peaceful and quiet living environment. However, as time passes, he begins to see beyond the surface and discovers hidden depths within the older man's character.

Through their interactions, Masato gradually realizes that the older man, despite his rough exterior, possesses a kind and compassionate heart. He listens attentively to Masato's troubles, offering words of encouragement and support. As they spend more time together, Masato begins to open up and share his own vulnerabilities, finding solace in the older man's understanding and empathetic nature.

Over time, Masato and the older man develop a unique bond that transcends their initial differences. They form a makeshift family, sharing meals, laughter, and moments of intimacy. Masato's broken heart begins to heal, and he finds himself drawn to the older man's wisdom and experience.

As their relationship deepens, Masato and the older man contemplate the possibility of something more than just roommates. They explore their feelings for each other, navigating the complexities of their age difference, past heartbreaks, and personal aspirations. Despite the challenges they face, they are determined to give their relationship a chance and build a future together.

In the end, Masato and the older man's story serves as a testament to the power of unexpected connections and the ability to heal old wounds. Their journey together teaches them about love, acceptance, and the importance of opening up to new possibilities. Through their unlikely partnership, they find a sense of belonging and happiness that they never thought possible.
