The story is about an ordinary salaryman, Junosuke, and the search for his lover, Miharu, who disappeared one night when she handed him her room key and promised to return in five minutes. She had only gone out to buy apples at the nearby store, because Junosuke ate them for breakfast every morning. Slightly drunk from the cocktail he had earlier, Junosuke falls asleep and wakes up the next morning to find that Miharu has never returned.
