Mr. Arthur Rutherford's Very Late First Love

After a troubling incident forces him to resign from his position as a high school teacher, Tokihiro finds himself adrift and unsure of how to fill his days. Struggling with low spirits and an uncertain future, he receives an unexpected lifeline when a friend arranges a new job for him: working as a private Japanese tutor for Arthur Rutherford, the general manager of an international corporation. Arthur is undeniably brilliant and strikingly handsome, possessing a magnetic charm that leaves Tokihiro’s heart constantly racing. However, the charismatic executive is also a known playboy who is openly gay, and he wastes no time in bluntly informing his new tutor that he simply isn't his type. From their very first meeting, Arthur appears entirely indifferent to Tokihiro's presence, treating the tutoring sessions with casual detachment. Yet, despite this cold reception and the vast differences between them, the boundaries of their professional arrangement may not remain so rigid after all.
