Synopsis

We seldom stop to appreciate the value of life and life normally goes on whether we think about it or not. Not unless one day all of a sudden you face an unexpected tragedy…
This is a story about a 16-year-old girl who has been diagnosed with HIV. Struggling desperately to accept her fate, she eventually finds the true love that she had long been searching for.
Love, family and friendship are the main themes of this heart capturing drama.
Keigo Ishikawa is a young successful music producer. With his handsome features, he attracts many young women and is always the center of attention. However he always keeps to himself and never opens up his heart to anyone.
Masaki Kano is an aimless 16-year-old high school student who is one of the many girls that admires Keigo. She is so madly in love with him that she engages in a night of prostitution to get the money to attend one of his concerts. After the concert she chases Keigo’s van and manages to spend the night with him. That night, Masaki holds Keigo in her arms like a mother does her son, which Keigo had never experienced before. Keigo is deeply touched by Masaki’s innocent feelings toward him.
The tragedy begins when Masaki learns that she is HIV positive. She is totally devastated. “Am I going to die?” She had always thought that AIDS was something that only happened in a far away world. As the result of being HIV positive, her friends turned their backs on her and even her family started to break apart.
Keigo who had been away on a three-month-long world tour returns to Tokyo to learn the desperate situation that Masaki faces. He devotes himself to support her and soon realizes that it was not Masaki that needed him, but him that needed her. Their relation turns from sympathy to true love. Eventually, Masaki becomes pregnant with Keigo’s baby. However, their time is limited…
