Synopsis
Retired child actor Chihaya manages his childhood friend Shion's modeling career, rekindling suppressed romantic feelings between them.
Having grown up in the spotlight as a renowned child actor, Chihaya is finally ready to step offstage for good. After announcing his retirement, Chihaya is appointed to manage an up-and-coming model returning from abroad: Shion—Chihaya's childhood friend, whom he hasn't seen in three years. The last time they saw each other, they were consumed by lust and almost crossed a line... until Chihaya stopped them. And Shion never forgot it. Now forced to work together, old embers of desire begin to spark between them, and Chihaya and Shion must confront their long-buried feelings and decide what they are to each other before the paparazzi has a chance to decide for them...!
