Follow That Kiss

Twenty-year-old Kouta leads a quiet life working at a local guest house, but his routine is shattered when a new part-time employee joins the staff. To his absolute dismay, the newcomer is Chizuru, a former classmate from junior high whom he never expected to cross paths with again. Their shared history carries a complicated weight: years ago, the two boys shared a kiss during a punishment game, an incident that left Kouta convinced Chizuru would want nothing to do with him ever since. However, assumptions crumble the moment the two former classmates find themselves alone together. Without warning, Chizuru leans in and kisses Kouta once more, following it with a startling confession—he deliberately took the job at the guest house solely to be near him. This unexpected revelation leaves Kouta reeling, caught between lingering insecurities and sudden hope. He must now determine whether this bold gesture is merely another cruel prank echoing their past, or if it represents a genuine opportunity for the two of them to finally start over.
