Synopsis: Yukemuri Journey

Naoto is a university student. Kou serves as a young attendant at a bathhouse. Naoto encounters Kou following a terrible day, during which he misses his school entrance ceremony, loses his job, and discovers that the hot water at his home is turned off for a while. Consequently, he is forced to visit the bathhouse where Kou works. Initially Kou appears youthful, gentle, and attractive, but Naoto soon discovers Kou's real personality – he is outspoken and easily angered, considerably older than what his looks suggest, and not nearly as innocent (at least, not in the way he seems). However, Kou's stature is still small, and Naoto feels compelled not to let Kou handle all the bathhouse tasks alone. Thus Naoto begins to work at the bathhouse whenever he can. Even though Kou isn't the person Naoto first anticipated, he finds himself genuinely fascinated by the petite man.
