Synopsis
Minato Yokoi (Kaname Yoshizawa) and Wataru Nakano (Kakeru Amemiya) become close in high school through photography and later share an apartment during college. When Minato leaves for Hokkaido for work, Wataru sees him off—and in the emptiness of their old room, filled with memories, he realizes he has fallen in love with his best friend. To bury those feelings, he cuts off contact entirely. Three years later, while working at a local photo studio, Wataru receives a message: Minato is being transferred back home.
Determined to treat him strictly as a friend, Wataru tries to act normal, but his feelings quickly resurface. And then Minato suddenly says:“Live with me.”
Wataru, unable to hide his joy yet fearful that romance could end and ruin their bond, immediately refuses. But Minato continues to pursue him with earnest words and actions, setting their long-suspended emotions back in motion.
