Torawarebito

Ryou stands as the designated heir to the powerful Asama group, carrying the weight of his family’s legacy on his shoulders. Yet, despite the privilege and authority that come with his position, his deepest affections are reserved for someone far closer than anyone in his inner circle suspects. He has fallen completely in love with Wada, his sophisticated and highly capable personal bodyguard. Their relationship has long since crossed the boundaries of employer and protector, evolving into a deeply intimate connection where the two men have already shared each other's beds. However, beneath the surface of their physical closeness lies a quiet, gnawing uncertainty that threatens to unravel Ryou's heart. While he views Wada as the object of his genuine romantic devotion, he is tormented by a single, unspoken question: does Wada truly see him as a man worthy of love, or merely as the young master he is sworn to protect? As Ryou navigates the blurred lines between duty and desire, he must confront the painful possibility that the person closest to him might only ever view him through the lens of obligation, leaving his heartfelt emotions unreciprocated behind the polished facade of their professional arrangement.
