(I used to think I could live my life alone...) Shin Kujo's a young man who went through a horrible tragedy when he was a kid. Because of that, everyone around him treated him like a freak, so he learned to be distant from others to protect himself. But, one day, at his college entrance ceremony, he meets Hayate Hinohara, one of his classmates, and this changes his whole life. Despite Shin being the way he is, Hayate smiles and laughs with him in an innocent, friendly manner. And, even when Hayate finds out about his past, he still treats Shin the same way, which confuses Shin at first, but he then starts to develop feelings for Hayate. Hayate's also attracted to Shin's kindness and caring for other people, so they both start to have special feelings for each other... However, just as Shin starts to slowly escape from his loneliness, he gets caught in another shocking incident...?!
