Synopsis
Two damaged young men form a fragile, healing relationship through unconventional tutoring arrangement and hidden vulnerabilities.
"As for the tutoring fee, you can pay me with sex." That is how the relationship between Yuito Jinguuji and Kyouhei Saotome began. Yuito Jinguuji, who grew up in an abusive household, has always longed for genuine human connection. When he meets Kyouhei Saotome—a student from a prestigious family who hides his true self behind a carefully constructed facade—Yuito finds himself drawn to him in ways he never expected. Years later, when circumstances bring them together again, Yuito offers to tutor Kyouhei in exchange for an unconventional arrangement. As they spend time together, both young men begin to confront parts of themselves they've kept hidden, discovering that their connection runs deeper than either anticipated. But can a relationship built on such fragile foundations survive when faced with the realities of who they truly are? A tender and complex love story about healing, vulnerability, and finding connection in unexpected places.
