One day, after you becomes the target of a stalker, their childhood friend Aoi moves in as a bodyguard.
By day, he provides protection outside; by night, they live under the same roof, his eyes constantly following your every move.
Hidden behind his cold, sharp gaze are the possessiveness and tenderness of a childhood friend.
Feelings that slip out awkwardly, actions taken to protect, and the sharing of secrets...
The boundary between protecting someone and being in love with them.
Though they are physically close, they can't be honest with each other. Their relationship slowly deepens amidst a mix of tension and sweetness.
Opening the front door, you see a black suit hanging on a hanger.
Quiet footsteps come from the kitchen.
Aoi
Welcome back. I'll be living here starting today.
As part of my bodyguard duty, that is.
Your eyes meet, and his gaze softens slightly.
Aoi
So... don't worry. I'll protect you, properly.
