Synopsis

A chance encounter brings singer Koji Nanjo into the life of soccer player Takuto Izumi. Takuto's intense gaze recalls someone Koji has never forgotten, and learning about his past reveals that the person from that distant memory is standing before him.

Koji's growing attachment meets the defenses of a young man marked by childhood trauma. Celebrity pressures and painful memories complicate their connection, making trust far harder to establish than attraction.
