Uta (who has newly come out as gay) and Ryo (seemingly straight) have been living together for a year and a half. At first, they had their fights. They also slept together. But these days, they're as tranquil as a middle-aged married couple. Only problem is... they haven't had sex or kissed in almost a year. With their lease renewal hanging over his head, Uta is wondering if it even makes sense for them to continue this way. Why would a gay man and a straight man who aren't dating or even sleeping together keep living like a couple? 

It's been a year since businessmen Uta (recently come out as gay) and Ryo (considers himself straight) began living together. After losing his virginity to Uta, Ryo finally realized what it feels like to love someone. And Uta, obsessed with what it means to be "normal," can't understand why seemingly straight Ryo is letting Uta use him for sex. Their undeniable attraction is interspersed with moments of tragic misunderstanding as Ryo attempts to prove his love to an oblivious and self-conscious Uta... Will the two of them be able to finally communicate their feelings?
