When Kai Hoshino drinks alcohol, he becomes a completely different person, either wailing in tears or impulsively kissing whoever is nearest. This terrible drinking habit proves particularly dangerous when the aspiring hairdresser finally lands a job at the same salon as his longtime idol, Sena. Kai chose this career path because Sena once changed his life with a single haircut, and he has dreamed of working alongside the kind, gentle stylist he remembers as a customer. The reality of working Sena shatters that illusion completely. On the job, Sena is mean, constantly orders Kai around, and behaves like a total jerk, leaving the newbie stylist deeply disillusioned.

Before Kai can fully process the shock, he is invited to a welcome party where he faces his worst enemy alcohol. Knowing his own disastrous track record, Kai tries his best to avoid drinking too much, but his efforts prove futile. After consuming more than he should, he becomes a bumbling, rambling mess. In this vulnerable state, Sena catches sight of a new, much cuter side to the clumsy newcomer. What begins as workplace disillusionment takes an unexpected turn as the heat between them grows stronger, with Kai’s unfortunate bad habits potentially leading him into even deeper trouble with the handsome senior stylist.

The story unfolds entirely within a professional hair salon setting and the social gatherings that surround it, focusing on the complicated dynamic between the earnest newbie and his harsh yet intriguing superior. As their relationship evolves from disillusionment to something more charged, the narrative explores how first impressions can be deceiving and how vulnerability sometimes reveals unexpected connections.
