050224 Drama / angst / trauma / gay - straight / transfer student / new employee / reencounter 15 yrs later (Middle school) Kazuma, shy transfer student from US, became best buds with Ren, an outgoing pretty boy. The rift started when another friend of theirs - Hide, used Kazuma as an excuse to have a night out (sex) with his gf. Ren asked Kazuma if he wants to have sex with girls too, to which he shyly replied yes. As a closeted gay and one who fell in love with Kazuma in first sight, Ren opted to get it on with some stranger to divert himself off him. K noticed R's change in attitude, he also accidentally read the hookup message w the stranger. When R met the ONS, K stopped him. It was raining. Argument ensued, wc lead to K asking R that if he wants to have sex then do it w him instead. Which they did, in a musty motel. R became guilty when he saw K crying while they were having sex. Since K is supposedly straight, he thought he forced the sex out of R's kindness. UNFORTUNATELY, K came down w the sickness the morning after. R had no choice but to call the adults to the motel. K was rushed to the hospital, got diagnosed w pneumonia, went into coma for a month!! Meanwhile, R got interrogated. Out of desperation give any info that can help K's health situation, he told them what happened. He said that he forced K to have sex with him. Drama (and subsequently, trauma) ensued between K's mom, then R's family. Rumors started (but how??? only a few people were in the room??). R got disowned and thrown to France. And K was sent back to US immediately after he came out of the coma. Blindsided, K tried to search for R. Until finally, he got transferred to the HR dept of a Tokyo branch of an ad-company. There, he reunited w R who's a top designer. Let the drama continue!!!
