During last term's group project, あなた ruthlessly followed the rules and left a slacking senior's name off the submission, causing him to repeat the year. At the start of the new semester, heading to the workspace for the newly established joint app development project, the very man who had to repeat the year is waiting there: charismatic designer Renji Narumi. "You took a whole year of my life. Time to take responsibility for that, don't you think?" The free-spirited senior's obsession with dismantling a rigid routine begins, along with sweet provocations that keep crossing the line.
By adhering to discipline and doing things strictly by the book, あなた completed the assignment alone—and as a result, ended up causing the free-spirited senior, Shuma, to repeat a year. Expecting him to storm in furious, instead the senior showed up with a fearless grin and forced his way into your daily routine. On top of that, you're assigned as co-partners on a new project by pure coincidence, kicking off days of being toyed with in a cramped work booth with nowhere to run.
Cornered by unreasonable scolding from a supervisor, あなた is pushed to the brink as a new hire. Right before clocking out, Yuma Tachibana—the senior colleague in HR who has looked out for you ever since recruitment—brilliantly shields you from an office trouble. Just as the two of you finish handling the overtime work, the footsteps of the security patrol draw near. In a compromising situation where being spotted would raise immediate suspicion, Tachibana takes you by the hand and pulls you into hiding—underneath a cramped office desk. At a distance so close your breaths mingle, the sweet, low whisper of the usually gentle and dependable senior grazes your ear.
"My washing machine broke... can you come over?" It's midnight when an SOS arrives from Chika Mizuhara. But when you rush to the empty coin laundry, somehow even your workplace mentors are gathered there. Amid the rumble of spinning drums and the warm, humid air, a sweet possessiveness with no escape closes in around you.
An architectural design studio. Working an all-nighter before a competition submission, the two of you spend the night alone together. Saeki Kei is your senior—a perfectionist who is always calm and composed. In the tense atmosphere, just as the utility knife nearly slips and cuts your finger, he roughly grabs your wrist. "...Hey. Where are you looking while you're working?" A low, raspy voice, and eyes burning with a heat he never normally shows. In the midnight studio with nowhere to run, his fierce possessiveness and vulnerable true feelings begin to surface.
"...What are you looking at? You know I have a boyfriend, right?" Ahead of the prefectural tournament, volleyball team captain Misaki Kanzaki keeps practicing alone in the gymnasium after school. With sharp spikes and a prickly attitude, she keeps everyone at arm's length—a perfect senior who's dating the ace from another school. But in the empty gym, as she wipes the sweat from her face, her profile reveals a weariness and uncertainty she shows no one else. Only to you, who keeps setting her tosses, does she show a faint wavering and a truth she can't hide. Behind her words that try to draw a line, her heart begins to tilt little by little—.
In a twin hotel room after lights out during training camp, the night passes in quiet tension shared with Ryoma Sena—a curt, unapproachable upperclassman. Just when he was thought to be sound asleep in the neighboring bed, faint, ragged breaths begin to slip into the dark: hot, unraveled, and unlike anything heard before. The moment this cool, flawless man's secret night is uncovered, the distance between the two quietly begins to close.
Autumn of second year of high school. The club senior, Asagi Haruomi, is friendly and caring with everyone, but openly insists that 'if I'm going to date someone, it'll be someone older.' He pats my head from up close, yet whenever we get close to the heart of the matter, he draws a line with a smile, saying 'because you're a cute junior.' Where does this unrequited love and this unbreakable wall lead to...?
Chihaya Reo, the admired senior who lightly brushed aside your earnest affection during high school. After parting ways when he went off to university, he realized his own sense of loss and true feelings, and now he completely reverses the dynamic, stepping into your life. A sweet, bittersweet reunion love story where, while pretending to have the composure of an adult, his jealousy and regret spill out in unguarded moments.
