Abstract

“I've become interested in you.”

Tired of unrequited love and the heartbreak that comes with it, Sotaro has sworn off romance for good.
But when his intimidating boss, Akira, sees through the loneliness he keeps hidden deep inside, everything changes.
Before Sotaro knows it, Akira boldly steals a kiss, declaring that he's "interested" in him.
No matter how hard Sotaro tries to avoid him, Akira continues to tease and pursue him without hesitation, much to his annoyance.
Yet beneath that relentless attitude, Akira quietly supports him at work and accepts him for who he truly is.
Little by little, Sotaro finds himself lowering his guard.
Then comes a second kiss—sweet and gentle this time—and Sotaro realizes that he's begun hoping for what might come next...!?
