Ryo and Zen have been rivals since high school. Now they’ve reunited as coworkers after joining the same company’s sales department at the same time. From grades and sports to even the number of Valentine’s chocolates they received, the two have spent years competing over everything. Meeting again at work reignites their old rivalry, and their daily lives quickly turn into a series of new challenges.
One night, after another loss, Zen ends up drinking with Ryo, and their conversation turns to their lack of romantic experience. What starts as playful teasing soon escalates into yet another ridiculous competition. Their stubborn pride refuses to let either of them back down, leading to an unexpected new bet: whoever makes the other fall in love first wins. Thus begins the most ridiculous love rivalry of their lives.
Two capable adults who excel at work but are hopeless when it comes to romance find themselves caught in a clumsy, competitive love battle. But in the end… who will fall first?
