Just Around the Corner

A devastating accident shatters Kishimoto’s lifelong ambition, forcing him to abandon his dream of becoming a professional pianist. Left without the passion that once defined his future, he struggles to find meaning in his daily life. Meanwhile, Kiriya faces an equally crushing blow when his lover abruptly ends their relationship. The heartbreak sends Kiriya into a deep spiral of depression, leaving him isolated and adrift in his grief. Drawn together by their shared sense of loss, the two men find solace in each other's company. What begins as a quiet bond forged over mutual unhappiness gradually intensifies, and before either fully realizes it, they have crossed the line into a physical relationship. For both Kishimoto and Kiriya, this intimate connection serves as a temporary escape from their respective sorrows—a distraction born out of vulnerability rather than genuine affection. Yet, as they continue to navigate this fragile arrangement, questions linger about the true nature of their attachment. What started as a fleeting diversion to numb their pain may be quietly evolving into something far more profound. As their lives intertwine, both men must confront whether this unexpected connection will remain a mere coping mechanism or ultimately lead them down a path neither ever anticipated.
