Arthur Seymour is a matcha addict who dreams of becoming a coffee barista, so when he sees the flyer of the renowned The Espresso Machine scouting for aspiring baristas as they open at the university nearby, he quickly grabs his chance. Little does he know that the owner was none other than Kaizer Woodsworth, his arch-nemesis from junior high who used to ridicule him without fail.
Arthur has more than enough grit to prove himself and win Kaizer's respect, but things get a little awkward when he finds out that Kaizer has a secret crush on him. For years, he tried to get Arthur's attention, yet all his attempts made the bullets fire back at him. Now, he has the chance to make things right, but will Arthur forgive him for his past mistakes?
As Arthur and Kaizer work together, sparks fly, and tempers flare. Will they find love in a cup of ice-cold matcha, or will their rivalry rip the business to pieces?

They both lead completely different lives in completely different worlds; Jasper studies and behaves himself, trying to follow his brother's footsteps to make his parents proud, and Ross runs a high-end retail store, attracting customers at work and going out attracting men at night. So what happens when the two meet? They both know it wouldn't work; they're so different and there's an age gap of nine years. But sparks are flying and although it's a dangerous risk with the consequences of both their lives being ruined, they both want to chance it. Will Jasper lose the love of everyone in his life? Will Ross change his life to keep Jasper within it? They could both get burned at any time, but sometimes you've got to play with fire.
