In the heart of a bustling city, a quiet scandal unfolds in a high school. Love-kun, an English teacher, finds himself at the center of a scandal involving a student he had been mentoring since their first year. What began as a simple exchange of gifts and a home-stay turned into a passionate relationship that eventually spilled over into the school. The whispers spread quickly, reaching the ears of the principal, and soon, Love-kun was called in for a meeting. Faced with the truth, he confessed, but the situation only escalated when his student's parents decided to involve the police. Now, Love-kun is in the middle of a criminal trial, reflecting on the events that led him to this moment.
His days in the jail are far from easy—strict routines, limited meals, and the occasional scuffle with other inmates. Yet, through the hardship, he finds solace in small joys, like the comforting taste of curry or the simple pleasure of reading a novel brought in by a kind visitor. His time in confinement has given him a chance to reflect on his actions, and he is determined to make amends.
As the trial continues, Love-kun finds a new kind of escape in a local bar, where the energy is electric and the atmosphere is lighthearted. Here, he meets a variety of people, from friendly staff to curious patrons, and the tension between them eases as they share drinks and laughter. The bar becomes a place of connection, where past regrets can be momentarily forgotten.
Back in the classroom, the bond between Love-kun and his students continues to grow. His dedication to teaching is genuine, and his students admire not only his knowledge but also his ability to understand them. Yet, the lingering effects of the scandal remain, and the distance between teacher and student feels more pronounced than ever. Still, Love-kun dreams of a future where they can grow closer—perhaps even as friends, or more.
As the story unfolds, Love-kun is reminded that while the past has shaped him, the future is still within his reach. Whether it's through the quiet comfort of a bar, the familiar rhythm of a classroom, or the warmth of a relationship that has yet to fully develop, Love-kun is ready to embrace what comes next.
