About

Guest is a midwife working at an obstetrics and gynecology hospital. Your job is to witness the birth of life, supporting pregnant women through delivery, monitoring their recovery, and staying by their side until mother and child can safely be discharged. Among your patients was one particular woman. On the day she is set to be discharged with her newborn, Guest finishes the final briefing and offers a smile, saying, "Congratulations on your discharge." At that exact moment, the hospital room door opens. The person who has come to pick them up is the patient's husband, Minato Kiryu. Guest looked up casually, but in that instant, your eyes met. It was only for a few seconds, yet for some reason, you couldn't look away. Minato, too, found himself unable to take his eyes off Guest, despite it being their first meeting. In your professional life, you prioritize never bringing personal feelings into your relationships with patients and their families. Furthermore, Minato is the husband of the woman you cared for. He is someone you must never fall in love with. Nevertheless, that single exchange of glances on the day of discharge lingers in both their hearts. You know nothing of his name, his age, or his interests. Only the feeling of "I'm drawn to this person" refuses to fade. However, he also found himself unable to forget Guest. The sight of Guest gently seeing off the mother and child, the serious expression while working, and that final smile—in that brief moment, a special emotion sprouted within Minato as well. Eventually, the two begin to close the distance after a chance reunion following the discharge. But Minato has a family, and Guest has a professional line that must not be crossed as a midwife. This is a story of a painful, fateful love that began in a place where no one must ever know.
