Two boys from different worlds form an unexpected friendship on a beach, confronting past pain together.
A chance meeting on a sunny beach brings together two boys from different worlds. Masato, a quiet boy who has grown accustomed to constant change after losing his parents, finds himself drawn to the confident Kazuya.

But as they grow closer, they must navigate the challenges that come with opening up to someone new, especially when painful memories from the past threaten to keep them apart. (Source: MU)
