Plot
Saeko Sugawara works at a coffee manufacturing company in Hokkaido. Through coffee, she was able to meet her boyfriend Yusuke, who co-owned a coffee shop with his best friend. Her love story tragically ended when Yuusuke died in a traffic accident while protecting Saeko. This is a story that begins from a "goodbye" as Saeko lives her life coping about the loss of Yuusuke when she encounters Kazumasa, who sometimes acts eerily similar to Yuusuke. Unknowingly to her, Kazumasa was the one who received Yuusuke's heart transplant.
