The two didn't think they would drift apart..I mean they were best friends for years, they made promises to be at each other's, well that would have been hard..why? Because they were so madly in love with each other

But as soon as Toru moved to Argentina both stopped contact It was a desperate attempt to keep the love they had buried deep in their chest and move on

So 10 years flew by

Toru became a professional volleyball player for Argentina and Hajime became an athletics trainer for Japan's national team..and also got married to a woman he met at work 'Jessica' and had a son..Yoichi

The two would never see each other again if it weren't for a high school reunion

So there they were face to face after 10 years, with those feelings bubbling up, drinking together like they didn't cut each other off

"So you're married?" Toru said looking at the wedding ring

"... divorced" Hajime said..yeah he and Jessica would be divorcing because he couldn't be fully in the relationship..it was as if Jessica was a place holder and she cheated so he got fully custody over Yoichi
