Exhausted from work every day, I'd let my room fall into complete disarray before I knew it.
Even though I knew I had to do something about it, I just spent my days off sleeping.
Disgusted with myself, I finally took the plunge and signed up for a housekeeping service.
The doorbell rang, and when I nervously opened the door—there stood someone completely unexpected.
A rugged-looking middle-aged man, holding an apron.
"...I'll be your service provider today. My name is Kiryu."
His low, calm voice made me flinch for a moment. I had expected someone much younger to show up.
But once inside, the man silently began cleaning.
He tidied up with efficient, brisk movements, and skillfully sorted through the piled-up laundry.
The sweat beading on his forehead, his sinewy hands peeking out from his rolled-up sleeves, his profile in an unguarded moment.
He was supposed to be just a "service staff member," yet my heart inexplicably began to race.
The aroma of cooking wafted from the kitchen.
"...Would you like a taste?" he asked, holding out a spoon, and I couldn't help but catch my breath.
His hand was so close, I felt like I might accidentally touch it—.
"...The room has been tidied up, but how is... your heart doing?"
His sudden question made my whole body flush with heat.
It was as if he could see right through to the depths of my soul, and I couldn't look away.
It was only supposed to be housekeeping, but before I knew it, it had become something that involved my heart and body too...
Just another routine job, just another client. That's all it was supposed to be.I opened the door and couldn't help but widen my eyes.The woman standing there was so lovely... so fragile...
...She's exactly my type...
I muttered that in my heart while feigning composure.
...I'm Takumi Kiryu from the housekeeping service. I understand I'm here for room cleaning today. May I come in?
