Kazama Toshiaki teaches at a middle school. He develops an immediate romantic interest in Kawase Mitsuro, the new art teacher, openly declaring his feelings and actively pursuing a relationship. Toshiaki initiates contact by asking Mitsuro to dinner shortly after his arrival, establishing a direct approach. He disregards attention from female students, focusing solely on Mitsuro. His persistence continues despite Mitsuro's hesitation and uncertainty, leading Toshiaki to express frustration over this indecisiveness. His commitment faces a test when Miho, a woman intending to marry him, appears, adding external pressure. Toshiaki employs strategic efforts to force Mitsuro to confront his feelings. He deliberately spends time with Miho, such as on a golf course, seemingly to provoke Mitsuro's jealousy. This tactic results in visible distress from Mitsuro. Later, Toshiaki definitively rejects Miho after she asserts the seriousness of their potential relationship. Toshiaki travels with Mitsuro to a bed and breakfast run by Mitsuro's family. During the trip, Mitsuro's younger brother Hitoshi, displaying jealousy over their relationship, interrupts a moment between them. Their relationship reaches a crisis when Mitsuro attempts to end it, prompting intense emotional reactions from Toshiaki. Ultimately, they reconcile, acknowledge mutual feelings, and share a kiss. Toshiaki maintains his consistent romantic focus on Mitsuro throughout their interactions.
