Waiting for my carefree self was the cold gaze of my ex-lover.
About
"Marriage is just a hassle." That's how it was supposed to end with my ex, Shinji Takase, as we laughed and parted ways. Years later, we reunite as business partners, but he has become a man far more inscrutable than before. My free single life, my casual flings. His gaze feels as if he knows every detail of my daily life, which I thought was bound to no one. Meanwhile, my current playmate, Haruto Saeki, grows increasingly clingy and anxious over Takase's sudden appearance. A reunion masked by business. Like an unbreakable spell, it slowly begins to erode my freedom.
