Riku Kuromine, a high school sophomore, feels crushed when his longtime childhood friend turns him down. Seeking solace, he wanders into a convenience store where he bravely intervenes to save a clerk from a robbery. To his surprise, the employee is none other than Ayana Hoshimiya—the school’s most dazzling and sought-after gyaru. Grateful for his help, Ayana reveals she’s being stalked and asks Riku to move in as her protector, since she lives alone. What starts as a safety measure soon becomes an unexpected cohabitation, blurring the lines between their school personas and their private lives.

Their arrangement forces them to navigate each other’s worlds—Riku’s quiet reserve clashes with Ayana’s vibrant social status, yet they slowly uncover hidden sides of themselves. As days pass, the pretense of protection gives way to genuine connection, complicating their feelings. The stalker’s lingering threat adds tension, but their growing bond might be the key to facing it together.

Riku never imagined his act of bravery would lead to sharing a roof with the school’s queen bee. Meanwhile, Ayana, known for her confidence, finds herself relying on someone unexpectedly dependable. Their story unfolds in the space between secrecy and trust, where first impressions aren’t always what they seem.
