Sakutaro starts working part-time as a translation assistant under Kuji and begins visiting Kuji’s old, beautiful house regularly. One morning, when his sister Fumiko asks what kind of person Kuji is, Sakutaro suddenly realizes he barely knows anything about him. Looking around the house, which still carries traces of someone who once lived there, he reminds himself that they’re both 38-year-old adults who have only slept together once or twice. Because of that, he feels he shouldn’t get too emotionally involved, even though he wants to stay close to Kuji. Not long after, Kuji asks Sakutaro to help organize some belongings. The items turn out to be caregiving supplies that belonged to Kuji’s father, Yoshiharu, who passed away two years earlier. While sorting through them, Kuji opens up about his past, revealing that one of the reasons he quit his job as a medical representative was due to his father’s illness and the responsibility of caring for him. Through this task, Sakutaro begins to see a side of Kuji he had never known before and learns about the memories between father and son that remain in the house. At the same time, Kuji finds himself slowly changing as Sakutaro becomes part of his daily life, feeling both confused and unexpectedly comforted by the warmth of Sakutaro’s presence.

i really like the mellow vibe of this BL,…

i really like the mellow vibe of this BL, it's like warm coco on a rainy day or a cozy warm bed on a cold night... love Sakutaro's personality, he is very easy going yet there is something very funny about him, he can read the room & is gently leaving his mark on Kuji's life... like water eating away at a rock, with time he will make a place for himself in Kuji's life & heart... (he is the definition of gentle force) something even Kuji is starting to realize. the funny part - he doesn't know how to deal with this, there is a part of him that is scared cause he has already decided he is gonna live like a recluse & not let anyone in. yet there is another part of him that yearns for what Sakutaro is offering. **********************************************************************
i am enjoying this slow burn, where they reveal themselves slowly - to each other & to us. the ironic part Kuji who is the one people think of as distant & closed off, is the one opening up & letting us in, while Sakutaro who might come off - an open book is the complete opposite, he has that seren smile on his face & even though he is more talkative then Kuji u don't really know what is going on in his heart. i hope we get to see more of why he has given up on life. *********************************************
side notes: the actor playing Tamaki is really good looking & those eyes - wow. but the character - from the 1st ep idk why i got this feeling he has more than familial feelings towards Sakutaro, maybe i am wrong & am reading too much into a few looks. but that's my gut feeling. time will tell - (edited add on: so Tamaki is Sakutaro's nephew not his brother-in-law idk why i though he was older & married to Sakutaro's sister lol)
