Ousuke Akiyoshi is an unenthused model. Modeling really wasn't what he wanted to do with his life, but after a devastating injury in college, his dreams of being a professional basketball player were no longer an option. Yet, despite his lackluster performance as a model, he gets a call to work for famous and well-known photographer Shogo Nowaki. Shogo specifically wants Ousuke, but when they try to work together, Shogo ends up disappointed and tells Ousuke that. While this might have broken most actors, this only spurns Ousuke on. Determined to do better and find out why Shogo chose him, Ousuke ends up in Shogo's hotel room. But instead of the knockout drag-out fight he had anticipated, the two take a tumble in bed instead. Admittedly, Ousuke finds himself drawn to Shogo, wanting more than a one-night stand. But no matter how hard he tries, Shogo keeps him at arm's length. Finally, Ousuke has a reason to be a better model, and it's a simple one: to keep Shogo's attention on him.
