Yukio, content with living off sugar daddies, has his life changed when a girl named Yuki appears in his home on a snowy day. They soon form a connection through spending their ordinary yet satisfying days together. 6 months passes and summer is approaching; something Yuki longs for but is simultaneously afraid of.
