The film begins by showing a young couple who are performing a wedding ceremony in a church.
Actually there was nothing strange about the wedding, except for the fact that both the
bride and groom and the guests who attended the wedding ceremony were high school students.
Even though high school students are considered too young to get married, the government arranged
marriage to increase the birth rate, which is decreasing over time because more modern Japanese
people choose to remain alone for the rest of their lives. Therefore, the Japanese government
launched a special program to find a life partner for teenagers who have turned sixteen years old,
based on genetic calculations that have been calculated very carefully.
Although the government does not impose any penalties on the assignment couple who refuse to marry, the government
strongly recommends that they marry a partner that has been determined by the government.
After the wedding blessing, the bride and groom and the invited guests then leave the church, where they
gather because the bride will perform the ritual of throwing flowers. When the other students
seemed very enthusiastic about catching the wedding flower bouquets that were thrown at them,
it turned out that the one who got the bouquet was a young man named Yuto Shiba who did not expect to get it at all.
But because he already got it, Yuto then gave the bouquet to his childhood friend,
a girl named Aoi Nisaka. Seeing this, his schoolmates cheered Yuta and Aoi, and prayed that they would become lovers.
The next day, Yuto and Aoi are seen walking in a park and doing fun and quite romantic things, even though they are just friends.
Because Yuto and Aoi had indeed been close friends since childhood,
they seemed very close and felt comfortable with each other.
When taking Aoi home, Yuto then told her that soon, her dream of meeting her dream prince might come
true because she would soon be sixteen years old.
Hearing this, Aoi was reminded of his childhood when he kissed Yuto during a drama performance at school.
At that time, Aoi told Yuto that he should not kiss other girls besides her.
Recalling those memories, Aoi suddenly felt very ashamed of Yuto.
Long story short, Aoi finally celebrates her sixteenth birthday with her parents and her uncle, Daisuke.
They then discussed the government's matchmaking program, where Aoi's parents turned
out to be a couple who had been betrothed through the program and have been able to maintain their marriage to this day.
Aoi seemed very enthusiastic because she wanted to hear the story of her parents' dormitory.
However, Daisuke didn't want to talk about his romance when Aoi asked about it.
Daisuke then gives Aoi a birthday present and suggests that she open the gift after finding the one she loves.
In the evening, Aoi looked anxious waiting for a call from Yuto because he would
usually wish her a happy birthday over the phone. Not long ago, Aoi finally got a call from Yuto who
asked her to meet at the park tonight. Aoi gets excited and dresses up beautifully to meet Yuto.
When they finally met, Yuto wished her a happy birthday and gave her a present.
While they were chatting, Aoi suddenly received a notification from the government about her potential partner.
However, Aoi seemed so nervous that she didn't dare to look at her potential partner's face.
On the other hand, she actually really hopes that her potential partner is Yuto.
Aoi then asks Yuto to help pretend to be her potential partner so that she can practice so that she doesn't feel nervous
when meeting her potential partner. Hearing this, Yuto immediately agreed to help Aoi. Surprisingly,
Yuto then expressed his love for Aoi. Before Aoi could say anything, because she was too shocked to
hear her childhood friend's declaration of love, Yuto kissed her instead. But before we continue

Not long after, they were surprised by the appearance of a young man carrying flowers
and calling out Aoi's name. The young man then approached Aoi and introduced himself
as Sosuke Takachiho, her potential partner who had been chosen by the government. Sosuke then
gave the flowers he had prepared as a birthday present and their introductory gift. Seeing
Aoi who looked happy when she finally met her potential partner, Yuto then said goodbye and
left the two of them. Sosuke then told Aoi that he wanted to get to know her better. Therefore,
Sosuke invites Aoi to have lunch at a cafe. Aoi never thought that Sosuke would immediately
ask her out on a date. The next day at the cafe, because she was too nervous, Aoi called her uncle
for advice on a first date. Daisuke suggested that Aoi try to relax because if she was too nervous,
she would end up messing things up. After hanging up the phone from her uncle, Aoi was surprised by
Sosuke, who was already standing behind her. Aoi suddenly felt very awkward. Moreover, Sosuke was
very quiet and also rarely smiled. In the middle of the conversation, Sosuke grabbed Aoi's hand and
took her away. They then went for a walk in the park, where Sosuke emphasized that he didn't care
about Aoi's background because his parents had approved of their arranged marriage. Sosuke also
says that he will still marry Aoi because he wants to obey government regulations, and as long as Aoi
doesn't bother him, he will not complicate Aoi's life. After that, Sosuke then set a date for their
next meeting and left Aoi just like that. A few days later, Aoi, who was contemplating thinking
about Sosuke, was surprised by her classmates who suddenly took out her cell phone. They were
also very surprised when they found out that Aoi's future partner was the son of Takachiho's Hospital
Chairman. However, Aoi didn't seem to care about that due to Sosuke's cold attitude towards her.
Not long after, she then greeted Yuto who had just entered the classroom. Aoi immediately
looked cheerful when she saw Yuto, hoping to tell her best friend about all the worries she
was going through. But unexpectedly, Yuto turned cold towards Aoi and only greeted her briefly,
then immediately went to his seat. Yuto seems to want to keep his distance from Aoi, who now
has a potential partner. Sometime later, Aoi and Sosuke are finally dating again. But on their date
this time, Aoi changes her appearance, hoping that Sosuke will pay attention to her. However,
Aoi once again had to feel disappointed because her appearance did not impress Sosuke at all.
After dating Sosuke, Aoi then goes to the park and wants to entertain herself by buying her favorite
snack. At the park, she accidentally meets Yuto, who also wants to buy the snack. Aoi then asked
Yuto about her new look. Yuto openly says that he prefers Aoi's appearance as she is because
she only needs to be herself if she wants to look beautiful and captivate the hearts of young men.
Yuto then asks if Aoi feels happy when she is with Sosuke. Hearing this, Aoi only said that she was
fine. However, Yuto, who knows Aoi's personality very well, immediately realizes that Aoi is lying
because she was talking while holding her bangs. Yuto then gives a little advice to Aoi so that she
can become closer to Sosuke. The next day, Aoi decides to meet Sosuke at his house and looks
so surprised when he sees Sosuke's house, which is very grand and luxurious. Sosuke's parents,
who were at home, greeted Aoi and treated her quite kindly, even though Sosuke's father
immediately discussed the huge responsibility that Aoi had to bear after becoming Sosuke's wife. They
then chatted and tried to get to know each other better. But in the middle of the conversation,
Sosuke suddenly appears and triggers a fight with his father because he feels annoyed at the father
trying to mentally intimidate Aoi. After that, he immediately took Aoi away from his house. Aoi,
who realized Sosuke did not have a harmonious relationship with his parents, especially his
father, thanked him for helping her out of the situation. She also felt happy because Sosuke
defended her in front of his father and was very impressed with his attitude, which he thought
was very cool. Sosuke told Aoi that his parents were too involved in every aspect of his life,
so he couldn't do everything according to his own wishes, especially when his older brother died.
He became the only son who had to fulfill the wishes and expectations of his parents. Sosuke
becomes even more depressed because he doesn't have someone who understands his feelings and
also doesn't have friends who can comfort him. Therefore, Aoi then tells Sosuke that
she wants to be friends with Sosuke, and tries to understand. She hopes that Sosuke can trust her,
so he will feel comfortable telling every complaint and problem he faces. Aoi also said
he would fight hard so Sosuke could be more open to her. At first, Sosuke thought that Aoi would
leave him after discovering that he did not have a good relationship with his parents. However,
seeing Aoi's sincerity in wanting to get to know him more closely, Sosuke became interested in
his assignment partner. When Aoi was about to get on the bus, Sosuke suddenly chased after
her and kissed her. In the end, Aoi didn't even get on the bus, and spent more time with Sosuke.
A few days later, Sosuke asked Aoi to return on a date. Aoi took Sosuke to a shopping center in the
middle of their date. She wants to buy something for Yuto because soon he will have his sixteenth
birthday. After buying a present for Yuto, Aoi notices that Sosuke is getting gloomy and cold
towards her. Sosuke finally revealed that he was not happy because Aoi was thinking
about other men when they were dating. Knowing Sosuke's jealousy makes Aoi very happy because
it indicates his romantic feelings for her. Moreover, Sosuke also kissed her passionately.
Yuto's birthday arrived. Aoi then gave a scarf as a birthday present. After wishing him a happy
birthday, Aoi was enthusiastic about asking about Yuto's potential partner and hoped he
could introduce her to Aoi. However, Yuto said that his potential partner lives far away,
so he probably won't be seeing her anytime soon. Aoi then invites Yuto to go with her and Sosuke
so that he and Sosuke can get to know each other and be good friends. At first, the situation was
awkward. Moreover, Sosuke managed to lighten the mood so Yuto didn't feel awkward when he
was around him. On the other hand, Yuto is also trying to befriend Sosuke because he doesn't want
to disappoint Aoi. After lunch, the three decided to check out an event at a shopping mall. Aoi and
Sosuke rushed toward the place, but Yuto looked quite overwhelmed when he matched their pace,
and he also looked very tired and was having trouble catching his breath. That night, when Aoi
was at a shop selling souvenirs, Yuto and Sosuke were involved in a serious conversation. Yuto then
told him everything about Aoi, from things she likes and her habits to things she doesn't like.
Unbeknownst to Yuto and Sosuke, Aoi apparently eavesdropped on their conversation. After that,
Yuto then asked if Sosuke liked Aoi and could make her happy. Hearing this question, Sosuke only said
that it was none of his business. However, Yuto suddenly became angry and immediately attacked
Sosuke. They would have almost gotten into a fight had Aoi not rushed over to break up
the two young men. Yuto, who felt annoyed, then chose to just leave. While Aoi is chasing Yuto,
Sosuke accidentally finds something that seems to have fallen from Yuto's bag when they are about
to fight. After that incident, Yuto never went to school again and became very difficult to contact.
A few days later, Aoi gets a call from Sosuke saying he will continue his education at Kyoto
University and major in medicine. Sosuke said that he got a scholarship at the university and
wanted to achieve his dream of becoming a doctor with his hard work, not because of the influence
of his parents. Even though she feels very sad because she has to be separated for a while,
Aoi is very happy because Sosuke has a dream and is fighting to make it come true. Aoi then told
Sosuke that she would continue to support him and remain faithful to waiting for him. Time passed,
and it didn't feel like Sosuke had been living in Kyoto long enough. Aoi who finally has the
opportunity to take a vacation then visits Sosuke, and they miss each other and spend time on dates.
Besides visiting Sosuke, Aoi also took the time to visit her uncle, who lives in Kyoto. Daisuke looks
happy. After all, he hasn't seen his niece for a long time because he is too busy working. Aoi then
asked about her uncle's love story that he had not been able to tell. Seeing Aoi being so happy with
her assignment partner, Daisuke also felt quite relieved because Aoi didn't have the same fate
as him. Daisuke reveals that he and his assignment partner ended their relationship right before the
wedding. On the one hand, Daisuke thinks that he will only hinder the career that is being built by
his partner. They finally agreed to end it all and committed to finding each other's happiness. In
the end, even though the government may have found the best match for them, but in Daisuke's case,
they can't put aside their feelings and desires. The next day, Sosuke again asks Aoi out on a date,
and he then takes her to a romantic place and proposes to Aoi there. Even though Sosuke
proposed to her with a simple ring, but Aoi was very happy and accepted the proposal from
Sosuke. When she finally returned to school, Aoi told her classmates that she would soon
marry Sosuke. However, Aoi felt sad because she had not received any news from Yuto yet. She is
curious about the wedding and asks Sosuke about his parents and whether he has reconciled with
them. But Sosuke avoided the question, saying he didn't want to talk about his parents. Aoi,
who felt that she would soon become Sosuke's wife, naturally couldn't let it go, so the next day,
she secretly met Sosuke's father at the hospital. In their conversation, Aoi finally realizes that
Mr. Takachiho is indeed a very firm person in determining the future of his son, even completely
ignoring Sosuke's wishes or feelings. When he was about to leave the hospital, Aoi accidentally saw
Sosuke walking toward his father's room. Curious about what they would talk about, she secretly
followed Sosuke and overheard their conversation. Sosuke turns out to beg him to provide a letter
of recommendation for treatment for Yuto who is suffering from a stage three brain tumor. For the
sake of Yuto's recovery, Sosuke is even willing to give up his dream of becoming a doctor and
obey his father's wish to replace his father's position as hospital leader. He also asked his
father not to tell Aoi about Yuto's illness because he didn't want to upset Aoi. After all,
Sosuke had also promised Yuto to keep it a secret. Hearing this, Aoi looked very shocked because she
just discovered that Yuto was seriously ill and couldn't do anything to help him.
Sosuke then meets Yuto and submits the letter of recommendation so that he can undergo treatment
abroad to cure his illness. Even though Yuto suffers from an impossible disease to cure,
Sosuke asks him not to lose hope and continue to fight for his recovery. Yuto is also very
grateful to Sosuke for helping him and says he will become a great doctor. Realizing that Sosuke
is the right partner for Aoi, Yuto begs him to always take care of Aoi and make her happy.
The next day, Sosuke takes Aoi on a date to a romantic place, where he then expresses his
love for Aoi and says that he wants to celebrate their wedding anniversary there every year. Sosuke
then kissed Aoi, but he felt something different than usual. He realizes that Aoi actually loves
Yuto and vice versa. Aoi and Sosuke's wedding day arrives. The invited guests have arrived, but the
bride and groom have not appeared at the church at all. Aoi who was wearing a wedding dress, was
actually waiting for Yuto in front of the church. Not long after, Sosuke came to her and said that
Yuto would not attend their wedding because he was going abroad. Aoi dodged and said she
wasn't waiting for Yuto while holding her bangs. But Sosuke immediately knew that Aoi was lying,
so he asked Aoi to chase after Yuto while giving her the ticket he had prepared. While Aoi tries
to follow Yuto to the airport, Sosuke enters the church and tells everyone that the marriage is
annulled. Aoi finally met Yuto at the airport and immediately expressed her love for him. Likewise
Yuto, who has loved Aoi since the first. Aoi said she wanted to accompany Yuto during his treatment
abroad, and they kissed. After that, Yuto and Aoi then spent time doing many fun things,
until finally, Yuto proposed to Aoi and promised to continue to love her forever.
Sometime later, Yuto finally died after battling his illness. Aoi was reunited with Sosuke
when they accidentally met while visiting Yuto's grave. Sosuke, who still loves Aoi,
hopes that he can restart his love affair with Aoi and pledge their relationship in a marriage
bond. The moral we can learn from this film is that love cannot be forced to be present because
love will come naturally to anyone and at any time. Never ignore love if it has come to us.
But if our love is one-sided, then don't stop loving, and don't replace it with hatred.
