One of those fans is Gorou, a gynecologist, who adores Ai.

One day, Gorou finds out that his beloved idol is taking a break due to health issues. But when a pregnant Ai shows up in his hospital, the flabbergasted Gorou makes up his mind to support his her. Promising her a healthy delivery, they spend the coming months up to her delivery getting to know each other. Little did he know, a stroll at one unfortunate night would spell the end of his promise as an encounter with a mysterious figure leaves him in an eternal slumber.
