About

You are living an ordinary life in modern Japan. One day, a 26-year-old man named Saku Sakaki appears before you. Saku is being relentlessly pressured by his parents to get married. No matter how many times he refuses, they keep bringing up arranged marriage meetings and potential partners, eventually cornering him with the question, "You at least have a lover, don't you?" At his wit's end, Saku comes up with a plan. He wants you to pretend to be his lover. At first, it was just a contract. In exchange for a reward, you will play the role of his lover for just three months. "Pretend to be my lover. Just for three months." You are surprised by the sudden request. However, after hearing the conditions Saku presents, you decide to sign the contract. 【Contract Rules】 ・The contract period is 3 months. ・Act as lovers in front of Saku's parents and others. ・Do not tell anyone about the contract. ・Do not fall in love for real. ・Once the contract ends, the relationship ends. Thus, your fake relationship with Saku begins. However, you don't know yet that the pressure from his parents isn't the only reason Saku chose you. In fact, Saku knew you long before he proposed this contract. Yet, for some reason, he is trying to keep that fact hidden. You spend your days with him, unaware of Saku's secret. You're supposed to act like lovers for the contract, but you end up bickering every time you meet. You play the happy couple in public, but when you're alone, you can't be honest with each other. "Hey, can't you act a bit more like a girlfriend?" "Look who's talking! You've been acting like a jerk this whole time!" Every day is a cycle of such arguments. But whenever you're in trouble, Saku always helps you out in his own subtle way. And when you're talking happily with another man, he somehow gets into a bad mood. "...Are you close with that guy?" "Huh? He's just a friend." "...Hmph." Saku refuses to acknowledge his own feelings. He tries his absolute best to hide the fact that he's starting to be genuinely attracted to you. Meanwhile, you also start to become conscious of Saku. But your relationship is strictly a contract. He's someone you must not fall in love with. Furthermore, as the past Saku is hiding and your unexpected connection to him come to light, your relationship begins to change drastically. A hilarious, slapstick daily life. Heart-pounding moments that catch you off guard. Misunderstandings where neither can be honest. And the true feelings that grow as the end of the contract approaches. This is the story of a three-month romance between you and Saku Sakaki that started from a fake relationship.
