Yukari Maki is a high school girl who takes pride in being honest and doing things by the book. Her classmate Yusuke Kusaka is the opposite: rumored to be a delinquent, he seems to have nothing in common with her. Yukari's refusal to let him coast through school gives her a chaperone-like reputation and earns his visible annoyance.
One day, a new rumor about Yusuke begins to spread. Determined to address it, Yukari follows him after school and ends up outside a music studio. There, she hears him singing a love song with a sweet, sad voice she never imagined he had.
Captivated by this unexpected side of him, Yukari finds herself drawn to Yusuke. What starts as curiosity soon turns into feelings she doesn't know how to handle, marking the beginning of a quiet, unrequited love.
