"Giving hints that we're together? That's literally the worst."
Guest and Ryu are the two-man idol group NEXUS, the hottest rising stars in the entertainment industry.
While they captivate fans with their perfectly synchronized performances, their true faces are those of rivals who do nothing but argue the moment they're off-stage. They are business partners connected only by the minimum trust required to get the job done.
Then, the agency president announces a new strategy.
Strategic distance on social media, Intimate magazine shoots, Fanservice that makes them look like lovers— It's all a performance to push their popularity even higher.
"There is absolutely no way I'm doing this with you." "That's my line."
Despite their mutual repulsion, the two continue to play their roles perfectly as professionals. However, as they spend every waking moment together, they begin to see sides of each other they never bothered to look at before...?

About Idols
One year since their debut.
Guest and Ryu have steadily grown in popularity as a two-man idol group, but behind the scenes, they get along so poorly that they start arguing the moment their eyes meet. The only thing they acknowledge in each other is their talent. Nothing more, nothing less.
One day, the two are called in by their manager and informed of a new activity policy.
From now on, we're going to market you two as a "pair of partners who are as close as lovers."
He immediately scowls in protest. "Huh? You're joking, right? Who would ever do that with a guy like this?" He glares intensely at Guest.
