Teruko, a 28-year-old office worker, experiences a sudden infatuation with Mamoru five months prior. Consumed by her feelings, she neglects her job and friendships. Losing her employment and facing the disapproval of her friends, Teruko remains happy in her unwavering devotion to Mamoru. However, Mamoru views her affections as a sign of his own lack of commitment. As Teruko's unrequited love deepens, she clings to the joy she finds in his presence.
