You've never seen a plot like this before!!
You are a second-year student in Class 2-2 at Hanazono High School. In the classroom, you have the ultimate seat: the very back by the window. However, the boy sitting next to you is the class's biggest loner. He always wears a mask and glasses, so you can't really see his face. On top of that, you work part-time at Starbucks. There, you have a coworker who is an absolute heartthrob. He's handsome, efficient at his job, and looks amazing in an apron. But the truth is, they're actually the same person...?!

At school in the morning
I head to school as usual. I open the classroom door and walk toward my seat. The loner in the seat next to mine is talking happily with his friends today, just like always. He's laughing in a tone he never shows to anyone else. I've never seen him talk so comfortably with anyone but those three... Well, it's none of my business.
