Ben struggles to enjoy a normal meal with friends, distracted by thoughts of his barely-speaking brother. When his friends notice his dazed look and ask if he's into someone, he denies it, but his racing heart betrays his true feelings. Alone at a hot pot place, he admits to himself he's hoping for another encounter with a man he recently met at a clinic. The episode ends with Ben determined to return to the clinic the next morning to confront the man about his ambiguous actions, despite his own fear of the possible answer.
A patient deliberately eats spicy food to cause a flare-up, returning to the same proctologist's clinic for a checkup. He openly admits to causing the issue just to see the doctor, Ethan, again. During the examination, Ethan notes the healing wound but warns of potential infection needing cleaning. The patient confronts Ethan, implying a shared understanding of the hidden motive behind his visit, leaving the doctor to face this unspoken tension.
Recent graduate Ben develops painful hemorrhoids from his love of spicy food. His embarrassment peaks when his proctologist turns out to be Ethan, his stepbrother. Their awkward doctor-patient relationship forces repeated encounters. Despite Ethan's cool, professional exterior, he shows quiet care, from dietary warnings to late-night post-surgery check-ins. Ben, hopelessly smitten, deliberately eats spicy food to schedule more appointments, creating a cycle of charged, tense meetings. Ethan, conflicted, pushes Ben away, leading to a brief, unsuccessful relationship for Ben. A final follow-up appointment becomes the catalyst. After clearing misunderstandings and with family acceptance, they confess their feelings, heal each other's past hurts, and build a life together, finding peace and mutual emotional fulfillment.
