Sakutaro had been thinking about enrolling in a translation school, but the high tuition costs were giving him a headache. Just then, he received a message from Tajimi, a mentor from his university days, asking if he would like to work as a tutor at a cram school. At the same time, his brother-in-law was about to return to live at the home of his older sister, Fumiko. With these unexpected changes happening all at once, Sakutaro is forced to confront his future path. Should he quit helping Kuji and start working as a cram school instructor, or continue as he is? As he struggles over his future, what decision will Sakutaro make…? (Source: Japanese = YTV || Translation = MyDramaList)

even though Azuma seem like such an open book…

even though Azuma seem like such an open book he isn't & it takes him time to actually say what's on his mind, the fact Kuji is similar in his personality means they don't communicate & it takes time for them to connect - they didn't need to part ways & given their age i sometimes feel like they should do better & not waste time. but u can't rush things & for sure not change personalities not at their age. so they had to part ways until Azuma was ready to talk & then Kuji also made the offer that brought them back together. the back & forth though frustrating at times is understandable... but kinda sad too. i want the leads together cause they really don't have anyone else to rely on (even though given how Azuma's nephew loves him he will always have a place to call home, let alone a loving caring family) but i am sure he doesn't want to be a burden & he also wants a life of his own - where he is an equal partner & not a dependent, so i really need the mains to communicate better. so they can finally be together. hope that comes with time as this BL progresses & we don't get an open or sad ending.
