Both 17-year-olds Mugi Awaya and Hanabi Yasuraoka are quite popular and seem like the perfect couple from the outside, but they share a secret. Both Mugi and Hanabi have crushes on other people, and the reason they hang out together is to feel a little less lonely. Mugi is in love with Akane Minagawa, a young teacher who gives private lessons at his home; Hanabi, on the other hand, is in love with another young teacher who is a family friend she has known since childhood. They seek physical closeness to share the pain of longing for those they cannot have. Will this situation continue forever?
