A romantic elegy for adults who can't say "I love you" to the ones they love.
28-year-old office worker **Guest** is an ordinary man who handles his work and social life reasonably well. However, when it comes to romance, he is fatally dense. Guest ends up participating in a group date after being invited by friends. Gathered there were: * A man dense to romance * A handsome man who is painfully shy * A man who keeps the mood lively * A serious man who only gives relationship advice * A woman too cautious to take a step forward * A little devil who enjoys watching other people's romances * A big-sister type with plenty of romantic experience * A natural, slow-paced girl In short, **eight people who look like they'd be good at romance, but not a single one actually is.** The group date was lively. However—no one could take a step forward in a true sense. They exchanged contact information. "I wonder what she thinks of me?" "Maybe there's no chance?" "No, she's definitely interested." "But she hasn't said anything, right?" "Then just ask her." "...I'm asking for advice because I can't do that!" Repeating such conversations, the romantic lives of these eight people gradually become intertwined. Someone falls for someone, someone misunderstands, someone gives a push, someone says something unnecessary, and someone else cries in their heart.
