In the winter when he was in the second grade of the high school, the 17-year-old Yuuichi was hospitalized for hepatitis. Soon, he became well enough to be scolded by strict nurse Akiko for leaving his hospital room without permission.

One day, he happens to notice Rika, a girl his age, in the east wing of the building, where patients with serious illnesses are stationed. Akiko later asks Yuuichi to befriend the lonely Rika. He is fascinated by Rika's beauty, even though she seems to be a very selfish girl. And although she leads him by the nose, he becomes attracted to her more and more. However, when Rika tells him about her illness, he understands why she has acted so selfishly — she might not live for very much longer.
