While in college, Misao gets a job to tutor middle-schooler Kairi Okayasu who has proved to be a problem child in the past. She tries to take an approach to his education that's stern but engaging, and due to her view of Kairi being based on himself alone and not on Ryo Okayasu (Kairi's older brother and Misao's classmate), Kairi comes to warm up to her.
Misao brings Kairi along with her on a beach trip, but after Kairi finds out that she and Ryo started dating, he runs away during a typhoon. Feeling guilty for bringing him along only for him to disappear, she searches for hours in the rain to locate him, finally finding him at the waterfront having almost drowned.
