Aoko returns to the place that holds her most cherished childhood memories—now she’ll be living there with someone very special. She’s had feelings for Soji ever since they met in elementary school. As an adult, she takes a job at the same hot springs resort where he still works. But their long-awaited reunion doesn’t go as planned—she’s caught completely naked!
To make things worse, Soji isn’t the boy she remembers. He’s distant, even intimidating. Years apart could explain it, but it feels like there’s something deeper keeping him closed off. Then, just days later, when they’re finally alone, his attitude does a complete turnaround.
“Sorry to disappoint you,” he says, “but the real reason you wanted to work here is gone.” Before she can process his words, he pulls her into a rough kiss and whispers, “Do you wanna play with me for a bit?”
Now Aoko is left more confused than ever—what’s really going on with Soji?
