Episode 1.

The series opened with Ritsu and Fumiya fighting the night before Ritsu’s birthday. As they continue fighting, Fumiya says that if they continue living like that, it will only be hard for both of them. Fumiya confessed to him that he couldn’t be with him anymore, so the latter cried, grabbed his jacket, and walked away. The next day, Fumiya woke up, but Ritsu was still not home. He finds his phone on the table, and a moment later, he receives a call from Ritsu’s brother. He told him that Ritsu had an accident, but he didn’t have anything with him, so they didn’t know who he was.

When Fumiya arrived at the hospital, Ritsu just woke up, but the doctor said he had a mild concussion, and it may take some time for him to be his usual self. While walking home, Fumiya noticed that his boyfriend was acting a little bit strange. Ritsu almost collapsed when they got home, but Fumiya immediately caught him. When they entered their house, things were like new for Ritsu. While he was taking a bath, he remembered seeing his brother at the hospital and Fumiya telling the doctor that he was his roommate.

After showering, Ritsu told Fumiya that he couldn’t lift his arms. The latter gave him an ice pack and helped him towel-dry his hair. Ritsu suddenly asks him why he was so kind to him since they were just roommates, and the latter says he’s just helping him because he was injured. Ritsu was confused when he realized that they were sleeping in the same bed, so Fumiya decided to sleep on the couch. The next day, Fumiya was already cooking breakfast when Ritsu woke up. While they were eating, Ritsu complimented his cooking skills, which surprised Fumiya.

Fumiya asks him to have coffee with him at their favorite cafe. They met their neighbor outside their house, and the woman gave Ritsu a beanie. While walking to the cafe, they saw a bunch of kids drawing on the street, and when Ritsu joined them, Fumiya thought that he was going back to his old self again. At the cafe, the waitress showed them a magazine with Ritsu’s drawing in it. Fukiya tried to talk to him about what happened the night of his birthday, but Ritsu just continued drawing him.

When they tried to order, Fumiya was surprised that Ritsu didn’t remember his favorite food. He then wonders why he doesn’t remember some things, so he decides to ask him things and list down what he does and doesn’t remember. When he saw that he didn’t remember their neighbor and his favorite food, Fumiya suddenly realized that Ritsu had forgotten things related to him. A moment later, he asks him if he does remember him, and Ritsu looks him in the eye and says that when he told the doctor he was his roommate, he thought he would remember him, but unfortunately, he doesn’t remember him at all.

Episode 2.

Fumiya was making breakfast when suddenly Ritsu came to the kitchen and said he wanted to cook for him. Fumiya laughs at the thought that the latter is confident, and he reminds him that he has always cooked breakfast for him ever since they lived together. Ritsu had his checkup, and the doctor says his memory loss seems to be an effect of cerebral swelling, and it’s hard to tell if he can regain his memories. While waiting for Ritsu, Fumiya confessed to his Shijun that he and Ritsu broke up before the accident happened.

Shijun was shocked, so he told him that he wanted to keep it a secret from Ritsu as he wanted to fix their relationship. Shijun promised that he wouldn’t say anything, but he thinks that Fumiya is being unfair to his brother. While looking for something, Fumiya found a drawing of him inside the picture frame. He prepares lunch for them, and when he looks at Ritsu, he suddenly remembers how busy he was before, so he skipped lunch to finish his drawings. While eating, Ritsu asks him what kind of relationship they have.

He was silent at first, but a moment later, he told him that they were broke the first time they met. Then they talked about so many things and got along well. Then they decided to rent a room together, and it all started there. Ritsu felt relieved after knowing that he and Fumiya were so close. Fumiya met their neighbor at the park. They talked about Ritsu, and he told her that they were not on good terms before the accident. She advises him to speak up about what is on his mind so he won’t make the same mistakes again.

Ritsu is struggling with his drawing, so he asks Fumiya’s opinion on how he could get his style back. Ritsu continued practicing while Fumiya stayed by his side. That afternoon, Ritsu told him that he wanted to go to the places they had been because it might help trigger his memories. While walking to the cafe, they bumped into a man, and Ritsu felt that he knew him. He tried to follow him, but Fumiya stopped him and accidentally held his hand. At the cafe, Ritsu asks him where he usually sits, and he then remembers the first time they met.

They were sitting across from each other, and Fumiya caught Ritsu’s attention at first glance. The latter drew him onto the tissue and was surprised when he approached him. They talked about his drawings, and Fumiya complimented his art. Ritsu confessed that he finds him handsome, so he couldn’t help himself from drawing him. The two laugh as they try to get to know each other deeply. Fumiya finished reminiscing and told Ritsu that he didn’t remember where he usually sat. Ritsu says that sitting in a familiar place makes him comfortable. The classic songs, the smell of coffee beans, and all the things in that cafe all seem familiar to Ritsu.

While walking home, Ritsu told him that he wanted to understand him better and that he thought his memories with him must be wonderful. Fumiya was shocked, so he told him that his memories with him were not as good as he thought, and it was better that he had forgotten him than his job. Someone called Ritsu and said that he booked accommodation near the lake. When he showed Fumiya the photo, the latter suddenly remembered the place. Ritsu asks him to go with him, and he feels excited when he immediately agrees. Fumiya wants to go back to the place, thinking that it may help Ritsu bring his memories back.

Not every relationship was joyful and lovely. Along the way, you will encounter challenges and trials of your own.
