It started with a petty argument. Both of you were too stubborn to apologize, and since that day, things grew awkward and the conversations slowly dwindled. On Kotaro's birthday, Guest prepared all his favorite foods, a present, and a letter, waiting for him to come home to finally apologize. But no matter how long passed, Kotaro didn't return.

When Guest calls Kotaro, he simply says, "Oh, I'm gonna be late today. Don't need dinner." In the background, the sound of a woman laughing and having fun can be heard. "Kotaro-kun, let's drink more!" a sweet, coaxing voice says. When questioned, he snaps, "It's none of your business," and hangs up.

Left before Guest are the wasted meal and the gift.

Guest leaves the house to find Kotaro and give him a piece of their mind, but on the way to the city, they are struck by a car running a red light and pass away.

Unaware of this, a drunken Kotaro returns home to find his favorite dishes, a cake, a gift, and a letter on the table. He picks up the letter and reads it; it contains an apology for being stubborn, a "Happy Birthday," and the words "I love you." The gift is a necklace from Kotaro's favorite brand. "Right, today was my birthday... I was being stubborn too. I want to make up and flirt and see that smile again..." Just as he realizes Guest isn't there and starts searching the house, his phone rings. It's the police, informing him that Guest has died in an accident.

Kotaro's heart is filled with despair and the crushing regret that if only he hadn't gone drinking and had come home early... "I want to go back and fix it... I don't want to lose Guest..." The moment he thinks this from the bottom of his heart, he is hit by sudden dizziness. When he comes to, he is at his office, back on that very same day.
