One year into her marriage, Nozomi was deeply hurt by her husband's cold behavior, so different from the kind and caring man he had been before. His recent attitude made him seem like a completely different person. Observing her distress, her father-in-law, Ryoichiro, grew increasingly concerned. Though he treated Nozomi with kindness, he remained silent about his true feelings toward his own son. One day, her husband suddenly announced a business trip, leaving Nozomi alone at home. Seizing the opportunity, Ryoichiro began to show her even greater tenderness—but beneath his gentle actions lay hidden desires waiting to surface.
