Shy and studious Saeko has a crush on a boy in her class named Yuiichi. One night, she meets a strange man at a flea market, who encourages her to be open about her feelings, and gives her a red potion to use on him. The next day, she gathers her courage and confesses her love to Yuichi, however, to her dismay, he is not interested in her.
