A construction engineer from a building company finds himself stranded in a small city due to a major road expansion project that's running far behind schedule. Expected to return home only on the weekend, he finds himself stuck in an unexpected situation — a two-night stay has turned into a longer one, and with it, a growing sense of loneliness and escape from the troubles at home.
At a local bar, he meets Hibiya-san, a skilled bartender with a mysterious charm. Their conversation flows easily, revealing his frustrations and the weight of responsibility he carries. Hibiya-san, with her warm and inviting presence, offers him a drink — a Corpse Reviver No. 1, a drink said to bring back the dead, or at least, revive the weary.
As the night progresses, the tension between them builds, and soon, the bar becomes a place of quiet intimacy and unspoken understanding. Hibiya-san, with her gentle teasing and confident allure, draws him into a world where the stress of work and life fades away.
Later, in a quiet room, the two share a moment that feels almost like a secret — a moment where the barriers between them fall, and the conversation turns into something far more personal. Hibiya-san’s charm is undeniable, and the connection between them grows stronger with each passing moment.
As the night comes to an end, the engineer finds himself not just relaxed, but profoundly touched by the company he's been given. The bar becomes a place of escape, comfort, and even a little bit of magic. The drink, the conversation, and the intimate connection all contribute to a night that he'll remember — a night where the weight of work and life was momentarily lifted, and where the promise of another day, or another drink, feels just a little bit closer.
