Two friends... friends who are like soulmates—Amelia and Ethan. They are completely inseparable from each other. They have been best friends since childhood. First, they went to kindergarten together, then high school, college, university, and finally, they studied medicine together.

Ethan considers Amelia his very close friend. But does Amelia feel the same way about Ethan? No, no—don’t misunderstand. Amelia certainly considers Ethan her best friend, but she also thinks of him as something more.

Deep down, Amelia loves Ethan very much. But out of fear of losing their friendship, she never dares to tell him. One day, she finally gathers the courage to confess her love, but just then, she discovers that another girl has already entered Ethan's life. Seeing this, Amelia feels a deep pain. Still, for the sake of Ethan, she accepts everything with a smile.

However, after this girl enters Ethan's life, he no longer pays attention to Amelia. Over time, Amelia becomes a source of irritation for Ethan, especially because of his new girlfriend's influence. One day, Amelia finds out that the girl is not a good person and loves Ethan not for who he is but for his money. Even though Amelia had warned Ethan many times before, he never listened, and instead, he belittled her.

But the last time Amelia tried to warn Ethan, he insulted her terribly and drove her away in front of everyone. After that day, Amelia walked out of Ethan's life forever, and Ethan’s life gradually began to fall apart. But one day, an incident occurs that makes Ethan realize his mistake, and he understands how important Amelia was to him—how much she loved him.

When Ethan, finally aware of his mistake, tries to bring Amelia back into his life, he discovers that she has already become a sex worker in a brothel.

What happens next? How did the light of happiness fade from their lives, leaving only the dark shadow of a new moon night? Will they ever meet again? Will Ethan be able to get Amelia back? Will their love ever find fulfillment, or will it remain incomplete forever?
