[edit]Taishin Mamiya (Kotani) interviews high school model Noel Kisaragi (Saito) for Splash magazine. Interested in a picture of the ocean Kisaragi drew leads Mamiya to invite him to dinner. At the restaurant Kisaragi sexually assaults Mamiya in the restroom. In the morning Mamiya receives a call from Kisaragi's agency asking him to visit Kisaragi and apologize for his unpleasant behavior. He arrives to Kisaragi's apartment where Kisaragi solicits him, which causes Mamiya to resign from the assignment.
A few days later Mamiya returns to Kisaragi's apartment and meets Chidori Furumura (古村千鳥, Furumura Chidori) (Hiroya Matsumoto), whom expresses his feelings for Kisaragi to Mamiya and explains that the picture is about a boy named Ken. Mamiya takes that as an initiative to talk to Kisaragi about Furumura's feelings and his promiscuity, so he goes to Kisaragi's school where he agrees to stop. Soon after a relationship between both males start to develop, which angers Furumura and leads him to reveal his feelings to Kisaragi who in turns rejects him. A couple of days pass and Mamiya decieds to visit Kisaragi after reading about Kisaragi's rape in the papers.
When Mamirya goes to Kisaragi's apartment, he sees Kisaragi having sexual intercourse with a stranger. Mamirya asks Kisaragi why he broke their promise and Kisaragi proceeds to tell him about the promise that he and Ken made to go to the ocean together but a week later Ken died, leaving Kisaragi broken. Mamirya is later fired from his job after Furumura told Kisaragi's manger of the relationship that existed between the two. While celebrating Mamirya's new job a distraught Furumura attempts to attack Mamiya with a knife but Kisaragi intervenes and is fatally wounded. Mamiya takes the lifeless boy to the ocean that he drew and carries him into the water.
