Sen is the son of the caretaker of the building where Hashiba lives. From the moment they meet, Sen begins to seduce Hashiba with persistent advances. Hashiba never gives a proper answer to Sen's intentions, yet he never rejects the services Sen offers. Their dynamic is a tense dance of unspoken desire and unacknowledged attraction.
As time passes, Sen and Hashiba move in together, but their relationship remains physically unconsummated. Despite sharing a living space, the emotional and physical distance between them lingers. Sen continues his pursuit, while Hashiba remains passive, caught between acceptance and denial. The story explores the subtle power play and unresolved tension between two men navigating the blurred lines of intimacy and indifference.
