The story begins in a quiet, well-kept home, where the man — known as "お父さん" — reflects on the life he has built. He runs a real estate investment company, a legacy passed down from his late father. His life seemed stable and prosperous, especially after he married his former secretary five years ago. But everything changed with a motorcycle accident last summer, leaving him partially paralyzed. The dream of having children was shattered, and with it, the hope of passing on the family business to the third generation. He feels the weight of his father's expectations, and sometimes, the sorrow of his loss brings him to tears.
Despite his struggles, he continues to manage the company with determination. He is strict with his employees, especially the contractors who come to do the work. He insists on quality, efficiency, and respect — and he makes it clear that any slacking off will not be tolerated. The tension between him and the workers is palpable, but there is a deeper story unfolding behind the scenes. His wife, "お母さん," is quietly dealing with her own emotions, and sometimes, she hides away to let out her desires. She understands her husband's pain and the pressure he feels, but her own longings are hard to suppress.
Then there's the younger brother, "お兄ちゃん," who brings a new energy to the household. He is carefree and full of life, a contrast to his father’s quiet struggle and his mother’s hidden desires. The family dynamic is complex, layered with unspoken feelings and a yearning for connection.
But the peace is broken when the workers, who have been in the house for some time, begin to demand money. They had secretly recorded a private moment between the husband and his wife, and now they are using it as leverage. The wife, "綾香," is caught in the middle, and the situation escalates. The man is furious, even considering giving up on life. But he finds a way to cope — every week, he brings in a host to satisfy his wife, ensuring that no more secrets are kept.
In the end, the man and his wife are bound by love, pain, and the unspoken understanding that they are in this together — no matter what.
