AU in which the original storyline never happened: Daisuke is a ramen chef operating a small stall in Tokyo. One night, a bedraggled man with shoulder-length black hair wearing a suit takes a seat at his stall. Being his chatty self, Daisuke strikes up a conversation with the mysterious man. It turns out he has just been to his older brother's funeral. The man, Ken, keeps coming back to eat ramen, and the two of them strike up an odd friendship that eventually develops into a romance.
