Goodbye Harlequin

Bathed in the glare of studio spotlights and surrounded by the relentless clicking of camera shutters, top male model Shimizu Eichi thrives in the center of attention. He has built his career on being admired, yet there is one specific gaze he desperately wishes to avoid. It belongs to someone who has watched him with unwavering dedication for years, a lingering presence that unsettles him despite his usual comfort under the public eye. A decade ago, Eichi and Kubo Akino were merely classmates who shared a single, fleeting sexual encounter. Now, the past has resurfaced in an unexpected form. Akino has returned to Eichi’s world not as a forgotten memory, but as a highly successful fashion designer working for a prestigious brand. Their reunion is far from coincidental. Armed with newfound influence and industry power, Akino harbors a singular, consuming ambition: to claim Eichi entirely. What begins as a professional overlap quickly escalates into a tense pursuit, forcing the celebrated model to confront a past connection that refuses to remain buried and a man determined to possess him in every conceivable way.
