Synopsis
Lonely office worker meets male celebrity through dating app, leading to unexpected BL romance.
Naoki Kujo is an average, run-of-the-mill office worker who can't get any dates. Every time he hears stories about his coworkers' marriages and kids, he can't help but curse his own bad fortune. Bemoaning his lack of girlfriend, he signs up for a popular dating app. After painstakingly creating a new account, he almost immediately receives a new message from someone named Yuki. The two of them exchange texts almost daily, and soon decide to meet in real life. Fantasizing about the busty but dainty Yuki of his dreams, Naoki arrives at the hotel they decided on. He's so excited, he can hardly stand it...! But behind the door is not a girl at all, but the world-renowned popular, drop-dead handsome actor, Yuki Nikaido! Is it some kind of mistake?! They're both guys!! Naoki is confused by the situation, but one thing leads to another, and they end up getting physical... This is a lovey-dovey romance BL between a celebrity and an office worker!
