Storyline

Shintaro, who works at a publishing company, was living a smooth life, with talk of a promotion coming up soon. However, he had a secret: he was gay and was living with Tomonori, a bartender. Recently, he had been busy with work and they had been missing each other, and on top of that, Shintaro was still thinking about his college sweetheart, Yoichi. One day, while Shintaro was working overtime, his work partner Mika appeared drunk and tried to seduce him. She had feelings for Shintaro. With no choice, Shintaro confessed that he was gay, and at that moment, a bell rang and the phone rang, and at the same time Mika disappeared. The call was from Yoichi, who said he wanted to see him. A bell was lying at his feet when the phone was hung up. It was something he had lost while traveling with Yoichi. When Shintaro got into his car to go home a few days later, the bell rang again.
