Story
33-year-old Haruta Soichi is a bachelor who works for the sales office of a real estate company. He wants to get married, but he is unpopular with women. While commuting to work one day, Haruta is mistaken for a molester and is saved by his boss Kurosawa Musashi whom he has a high regard for. However, his relief is short-lived. He catches sight of something that should not be seen – his photo is on the locked screen of Kurosawa’s mobile phone! Haruta is shaken. To compound matters, he discovers something outrageous in Kurosawa’s computer while at work. A large number of photographs which were secretly taken of him are stored in a folder labelled “spring”! Haruta had certainly believed that he would meet the love of his life someday but this … this is slightly different from his taste. He completely freaks out and has his guard up around Kurosawa. Meanwhile, Maki Ryota, a handsome junior, transfers from the head office. Maki is courteous and works very hard. Moreover, he is even good at cooking. Just then, Haruta’s mother kicks him out of the house all of a sudden in the hope that he will become independent. Not knowing how to do housework, Haruta is at his wits end. He proposes to live with Maki and is impressed by Maki’s “femininity”. Meanwhile, Kurosawa calls him and is waiting with a bouquet of roses at an extremely romantic place. And then, Kurosawa says he likes him in a very girlish confession of love!
