Hiroshi Sakazaki spends all his time studying for his depressing entrance exams, and drowns out his hopeless youth by dating a bad friend. Today again, Hiroshi was asked by his playmate Yuri to help her friend Yaeko escape from the soapland. Reiko Kitazawa, the daughter of a painter, was worried about Hiroshi. On the other hand, to Hiroshi, Reiko feels more like a woman than a friend. The day Hiroshi returned Yaeko to her hometown was also Reiko's birthday. Reiko couldn't hide her sadness at Hiroshi's non-attendance, which she had invited. At that time, Hiro also wandered around Reiko's house, wanting to meet her. The next day, Reiko confronted Hiro about why he didn't come. However, Hiroshi's reply was ambiguous.
