Mizuki (Kawazu Asuka) is a former marathon runner who has to come to the end of her athletic career. She has to hang up her running shoes and find a job in the “real world.” She has been laser-focused on running her whole life, has developed very little in the way of social skills – and has totally neglected any thoughts of developing a love life. Her love for sweet food is the only thing that brings her joy...

She takes a job at a high-end hotel – and turns out to be hopeless at her new job. With no experience or natural talent for customer service, she makes gaffe after gaffe. One day, she crosses paths with Kaji (Nagatsuma Reo), a handsome dessert chef who works at the hotel – and has a reputation as a womanizer. Infuriated at how badly her post-running life is turning out, Mizuki vents at Kaji. But instead of angering him, this tirade inspires Kaji, who appoints her as his new taste taster. Is a honey-sweet romance on the cards – or is this duo about to run into trouble?
