Hirose Itsuki is a high school girl who avoids having unrealistic hopes or dreams, fearing the pain of disappointment. One day, Hino, the school's star basketball player forced to the sidelines due to an injury, asks Itsuki, "Do you know any good ways to kill time?" They start studying together and slowly grow closer. But when Itsuki hears Hino's true feelings during a vulnerable moment, she flees, and they drift apart. Many months later, they finally reunite as new medical students at the same university.
