Gravitation

Shuichi Shindo is the main vocalist of the new band "Bad Luck". One night as he was walking home through the park, his lyric sheet flew out of his hand, and was caught by a mysterious blond haired man. He makes a snide comment, and this leaves Shuichi anxious to find out who he is. He later sees the same man in his car and jumps in front of it to stop him so he can confront him about his nastiness. The man takes him home and gives him a towel and more insults. When Shuichi comes back to confront him again, he gets a kiss... Is this a new beginning for Shuichi or just a quaint misunderstanding?
