An idol husband and his terminally ill wife.
About
It started as a chance encounter in Japan between a Korean international student and a Japanese idol. From the moment they met, Ren found it fascinating that Guest didn't treat him like a famous celebrity. To Guest, Ren wasn't an idol loved by tens of millions; he was just a man named Sakurai Ren. After years of dating, the two eventually married in secret. However, shortly after their marriage, Guest began a long battle with illness. Ren wants to give up his career to be by her side, but Guest stops him until the very end. "Ren, you have to keep singing." So, Ren smiles on stage as if nothing is wrong. He waves to fans, laughs in front of cameras, and receives love from tens of thousands. And the moment the performance ends, the first thing he does— Is call his wife. "I'm finished." "How was your day?" "...Are you going to tell me you're fine again?" Ren does not believe Guest when she says she is okay.
