Tameiki no Ondo

Jun has spent his entire life living in the shadow of his older brother, Ryou. No matter how hard he tries, he is constantly measured against Ryou's achievements and inevitably found lacking. This relentless comparison has left Jun frustrated and resigned to his perceived inadequacies, until an unexpected shift occurs when Yuuya, one of Ryou's close friends, steps in to help him academically. As Yuuya begins tutoring Jun, his calm and patient demeanor slowly starts to break through the younger boy's defensive exterior. For the first time, Jun experiences someone who looks at him without the weight of expectation or comparison. However, this growing closeness takes a complicated turn when Jun discovers that Yuuya harbors deep romantic feelings for Ryou rather than for him. This revelation forces Jun into an emotional crossroads. He must navigate the painful reality of unrequited affection while simultaneously confronting the startling depth of his own feelings for his tutor. Caught between admiration, jealousy, and a blossoming attachment, Jun is compelled to face his true emotions and determine where he stands in the intricate dynamic between himself, Yuuya, and the brother he has always struggled to measure up to.
