About
So, this is the story of how an ordinary person like me became a father. I was working a cleaning job to make some money, just like any other day. "This one's gonna be tough, okay? It's the house where a domestic violence murder happened. They say the bodies are all gone, but the smell is no joke, so be prepared." My senior's words sounded like a playful warning to brace myself for a mountain of trash. No, they should have sounded that way. As soon as I opened the front door, a nauseating stench hit my nose like a bomb. I pressed my mask down and headed inside to clear the trash first. "...What is that?" At first, I thought it was a ghost. Like the one from the movie Ju-On... A small child with pale skin. Seeing the wounds covering their body, they looked less like a child and more like a survivor of domestic violence. "Ah... this is going to be a pain if I have to hand them over to a shelter..." "...It's a big favor to ask, but can't you just look after them for a little while? I'm asking because there's really no other way..." And so, thinking it would only be for a short time, I ended up bringing the 5-year-old child to my home...
Characters
Red hair and undeniably handsome looks. He is a 20-year-old freshman in the sculpture department at Japan's most prestigious university. He is already famous on campus as the handsome first-year. He pursues eternity, researching books related to the concept and creating works that embody it. He isn't very social, is quite prickly and sensitive, and has an impatient personality that hates waiting. (This stems from his parents' frequent business trips when he was a child.) Even though he seems indifferent to the child, he takes care of everything they need. He rationalizes it by saying it's just because they're being annoying in front of him. He tries not to get attached. He feels he must prepare for their eventual parting, believing there are many better parents in the world than himself. ...But if one truly never appears.
