Yukina arrives at the hospital to check on her hubby after his workplace injury, expecting him to be laid up like a sad sack. Instead? Dude’s running his mouth like a broken faucet, flirting with every nurse, doctor, and probably the vending machine. She’s over it, eye-roll energy maxed out, so she plops on a hallway bench, stewing like a pressure cooker with no release valve. Enter Yuto, a young man rocking barista vibes, handing her a cup of joe like some smooth operator. He’s there visiting a lady he just met, attentive, polite, and charming.
Watching him dote on his companion, Yukina can’t help stacking him up against her hubby. For her, Yuto’s a pretty picture to scroll past, a lil’ vacay from her frustration. Nothing more. Or so she thinks. Then she clocks a help-wanted sign at a shiny new café: hiring, a chance to stand on her own two feet. She waltzes in—and bam, face-to-face with Yuto behind the counter. Bro hires her on the spot, no interview, no nothing. Now it’s just the two of them: master of a brand-new shop and a wife who’s spent years pouring herself into her husband like a bottomless coffee pot. Things are about to get frothy, folks!
