Synopsis:

The series explores the complex relationship between fame and reality within the entertainment industry. Sixteen-year-old Ai Hoshino, a popular pop idol, suddenly announces a health hiatus, sparking concern among her devoted fanbase. Dr. Gorou Amemiya, a longtime admirer of Ai from a remote medical practice, unexpectedly encounters her at his hospital. Ai reveals she is pregnant with twins, leading to an unconventional and intimate dynamic between the doctor and the idol.

The narrative delves into themes of identity, expectation, and the blurred lines between public persona and private life. As Dr. Amemiya navigates the responsibility of caring for Ai during her pregnancy, he grapples with the potential impact this encounter will have on both their lives and his perception of a celebrity he once admired from afar. The story examines how personal connections can challenge established perceptions of idols and fans alike.
