In his last game as a professional golfer, where Reiya was playing for the right to marry his lover, fellow golfer Seira, a sudden physical illness forced him to drop out of the competition, causing him to lose both the tournament and Seira's hand to Kazuhiko Amawashi. Yet beforehand, he managed to get Seira pregnant with his kid, who would be Aoi. Kazuhiko found out about Reiya and Seira's kid, and agreed to raise Aoi as his own daughter, keeping the affair secret from the public.
