I Can't Do This Unless We're in Love!

Kazumi is a twenty-eight-year-old career woman who has never been in a relationship. Accustomed to pulling her hair back simply to keep it out of the way, she struggles with deep insecurities about her tomboyish nature and lack of romantic experience. Her quiet life takes an unexpected turn when a handsome, rising star from a client company suddenly invites her to dinner. Viewing this as her sole opportunity to transform herself, Kazumi accepts the invitation, hoping for a genuine connection. However, the evening quickly veers into unfamiliar territory when her date suggests they "relax" after their meal, leading her directly to a hotel room. Overwhelmed by self-consciousness about her body, Kazumi hesitates, but he pursues her with intense passion, his touch leaving her breathless. As she wavers and questions whether any real affection exists between them, he leans in close. His voice is gentle yet chillingly detached as he whispers that love is entirely unnecessary for what they are doing. Thus begins a turbulent romance defined by countless first experiences, painful misunderstandings, and moments where their hearts nearly align.
