Lee Jeongsung has always believed Cupid has something against him as he has never quite come through for him. When Jeongsung asks Min Bae-the only guy he's ever been attracted to and who has shown him he has mutual feelings- to be his boyfriend only to be turned down, it further fuels his belief that Cupid does not want him to be happy in love. So naturally, Valentine's Day is his least favorite holiday. But a chance encounter with a gorgeous dentist, Dr. Choi Dongwon leads to a day where Jeongsung wonders if Cupid is for him or against him.
