Shintaro works at a publishing house and leads a seemingly smooth life, yet hides a secret: he is gay and lives with his bartender boyfriend, Tomotsugu. His busy schedule keeps him apart from Tomotsugu, while his heart still yearns for his first love from college, Yoichi.

Mika mysteriously vanishes, and on the other end of the line is Yoichi's voice...
