Ski trip disasters, office lady seductions, and high school hearts melting faster than snow.
Six high school sweethearts soon became entangled in three charged couples. Still reeling from their fracturing bond, a dejected Shigeki encountered the alluring office lady Hitomi aboard the ski bus – a woman whose recent quarrel had only heightened her irresistible mystique. In a twist of fate, the other couples experienced their own shifts in passion. Even after returning to Tokyo, the simmering tension refused to cool down. One day, as Shigeki flirted with fate on a date with Hitomi, a part of him still longed for Yuri’s tender allure. While Shinya and Noriyuki plotted another daring ski adventure, all that mattered to Yuri and Shigeki was the desperate need to reclaim their connection. Fate intervened when Yuri was unexpectedly slammed with overtime at her job. In a dramatic twist, Shigeki burst onto the scene to get her to the ski bus. Seated together on the roadside, they bared their hearts in an intimate talk that slowly mended their frayed bond.
