My Review:
Maki Motoharu is afraid that Ohki Kouta still has feeling for his ex-boyfriend Yuya. He finally confronts Kouta about this and both become upset. Maki has a business trip that will last for 3 days out of town and wants Kouta to come but Kouta says, "he can't because of work."
Motoharu new client happens to be the boss of Yuya who wants him to design a plan for his restaurant. Motoharu agrees but is afraid that Yuya and Kouta will see each other alot so he doesn't mention this tidbit to Kotaru.
One day Kouta happens to run into Yuya and they start talking. Suddenly Yuya embraces Kouta and he has a flashback to the confrontation and then he pushes Yuya away and runs away. That night Motoharu and Kouta make love and when Kouta wakes up he realizes how much Motoharu cares for him. That night when he returns home he sees Yuya and he turns away and runs up to the apartment.
The next day he runs to Motoharu who is surprised to see him. They make love that night and in the morning Motoharu tells Kouta to go back home. Kouta leaves the next morning and while at work is distracted and he falls from a great height. His safety harness wasn't properly secured though normally he is very serious about that and his job.
He wakes up but has reverted to his 15 year old self and wants his brother. He doesn't remember anyone and the doctor informs everyone that he may be suffering from mental illness due to severe stress. He goes back to live with Motoharu though he doesn't remember who he is and the names of the two cats who love him.
