Yoshinari is the second son of the founder of a prestigious flower arrangement school. He is an excellent student with good looks, but he has no interest in flower arrangement, which creates constant conflict with his father. At home, he is considered a rebellious troublemaker, so during school vacation, his parents decide to send him away to work as an assistant at a traditional inn in the countryside.
There, he meets Aoi, the clumsy and emotionally expressionless daughter of the innkeepers. She struggles with her duties and seems disconnected from the world around her. Despite their differences, Yoshinari finds himself drawn to her quiet presence and her unique way of seeing things.
As Yoshinari helps around the inn and spends more time with Aoi, he begins to question his own path and the expectations placed upon him. This chance encounter might just be the turning point that changes his destiny and opens his heart to new possibilities.
