She is a female university student selling her laughter in such establishments to pay for her tuition. At this moment, she is entangled in a call with her suspicious boyfriend (played by Kase Ryo). Today, her grandmother has unexpectedly come to visit, but Akiko hesitates whether to go to the station to see the old woman. Already in a bad mood, the manager (played by Dian Dian)'s work arrangements further exacerbate her emotional turmoil. As night falls, the disheartened Akiko ultimately arrives at a guest's residence.

The exhausted girl has no time to enjoy the delicacies and fine wine prepared by the old professor, and after a brief conversation, she falls into a deep sleep, with not a word spoken throughout the night. The next day, the professor drives the girl back to campus, and the exchange of hearts seems to linger on…
