One evening, Chiyo, a young woman weary from strained human relationships, intervenes when a drunk harasses a high school boy named Aki. He appears to have some kind of secret and cannot speak. She brings him home to tend to his injuries, and what begins as a one-time act of kindness slowly becomes a tentative shared life. Aki has no place to go and seems burdened by a past he cannot voice, while Chiyo carries her own history of being taken advantage of and struggling to assert herself. Their communication relies on gestures, writing, and careful observation, creating a fragile bond built on quiet trust. The story unfolds as they navigate their respective wounds: Aki’s complicated family circumstances and the reason he lost his voice, and Chiyo’s encounters with an overbearing ex-boyfriend and the pressure to please everyone around her. A love story that balances sweetness, sensuality, and a touch of darkness follows them as they slowly learn to face their fears, confront the secrets that weigh on them, and discover whether two people carrying such heavy baggage can find a safe place in each other.
