## Plot Summary

Adachi narrates about coming into his magical power upon turning 30. He describes this power as drab and a nuisance, especially while riding the subway and hearing the inner monologue of anyone he touches. He realizes that it would be inappropriate for him to touch girls and considers that if he was the type of person who could touch people, then he would not be a virgin.

While going into work, Adachi expresses to Kurosawa that he does not like to take the elevator due to it being crowded. Kurosawa suggests that they take the stairs together. Adachi observes female coworkers commenting about Kurosawa's good looks, assuming that he must have a girlfriend. Adachi imagines that Kurosawa is popular enough must have lost his virginity in high school. Adachi casually touches Kurosawa and is surprised that Kurosawa's inner monologue reveals that he has a crush on a coworker. Adachi is further surprised upon finding that Kurosawa is attracted to him, and in his disbelief wonders if he has been hallucinating about his power the entire time.

Adachi's boss gives him an assignment that requires him to work late, and Kurosawa offers to help him. Kurosawa notices a mole on the nape of Adachi's neck, which Adachi did not know that he had; this convinces Adachi that he is not hallucinating. Walking home, Kurosawa puts a scarf around Adachi's neck. Adachi pretends to trip and fall to have an excuse to touch Kurosawa and determine what he is thinking, again finding that Kurosawa has feelings for him.

Adachi asks to stay a Kurosawa's place, and he agrees. Adachi finds manga books at Kurosawa's place, which Kurosawa is initially embarrassed about feeling it is childish for him to read such. Adachi says that he enjoys this particular manga as well. Kurosawa offers to draw Adachi a bath and gives him pajamas. Adachi is disturbed to learn that Kurosawa bought those pajamas because he had been fantasizing about seeing Adachi wearing them. This makes Adachi reluctant to wear them, especially after finding that they are his size and fit him well.

Kurosawa offers Adachi a beer, making Adachi wonder if Kurosawa is trying to get him drunk. While Adachi while is bathing, Kurosawa lays out a futon for him. As Adachi tries to sleep while Kurosawa takes a bath, he wonders if the situation would be easier if one of them was female. While Adachi is trying to sleep, Kurosawa comes close to him. Ultimately, both become frustrated that they are unable to sleep.

In the morning, Kurosawa has cooked a full breakfast for Adachi, and Kurosawa invites him to breakfast with him again in the future. At work, Adachi's boss thanks Adachi for his fine work and further thanks Kurosawa upon learning that he had helped Adachi with Kurosawa expressing humility. The boss offers the two a gift certificate to a restaurant, which Adachi is annoyed to receive has he is not wanting to go on a date with Kurosawa.

While at the restaurant, Kurosawa comments that Adachi looks cute when he eats, though Adachi learns that Kurosawa is embarrassed that he said such. Upon finishing the meal, they find that the gift certificate has expired. Adachi does not have enough cash for the meal, so Kurosawa offers to pay saying that Adachi can pay for the next meal they have after payday. Adachi feels bad that he does not reciprocate Kurosawa's feelings. He goes to an ATM and gives Kurosawa cash to repay him, saying that he does not want to impose on him.
