Don't Say Anymore, Darling

Kouhei has built a respectable life for himself as a doctor at the local university hospital, leaving his high school years far behind. Among those he lost contact with is Tadashi, an old friend whose path diverged drastically from his own. While Kouhei achieved professional success, Tadashi struggled to find his footing, ultimately becoming a penniless, openly gay writer barely scraping by. Despite the years of silence and their vastly different circumstances, Tadashi has quietly harbored deep romantic feelings for Kouhei since their youth. One particularly lonely night, pushed to his emotional limit, Tadashi impulsively reaches out by sending a text message to his former friend. To his surprise, Kouhei replies, reigniting a connection that had long faded into memory. For Tadashi, this unexpected exchange stirs up years of suppressed affection and offers a fragile glimmer of hope. However, any chance of pursuing these hidden feelings is abruptly threatened when Tadashi learns that Kouhei is being set up for an arranged marriage. Faced with the imminent reality of losing Kouhei forever, Tadashi must navigate the painful tension between his unspoken devotion and the closing window of opportunity.
