SYNOPSIS
Takafumi Yokozawa has built his reputation as a ruthless editor at a major publishing house, all sharp edges and calculated professionalism. His carefully constructed world tilts when Kirishima, his former boss, resurfaces after years apart. The chemistry between them hasn't faded,if anything, it's gotten more complicated. Yokozawa finds himself caught between the person he's become and the person he was when Kirishima knew him best, struggling to maintain his cool exterior as old feelings claw their way back to the surface. This story balances genuine emotional weight with romantic comedy. Yokozawa's journey isn't about sudden realizations or easy answers. Instead, it's about a man learning that control isn't everything and that vulnerability, even after years of rejection, can lead somewhere worth exploring. The film captures the tension of professional ambition colliding with personal desire, all while maintaining the sharp wit that defines workplace romance.
