Google translated from [cmoa.jp](https://www.cmoa.jp/title/346498/): [A stoic actor in his 40s x a cocky young star who's not allowed to work with Hidaka!?] A BL story between actors who go head-to-head in the world of fiction begins! Hidaka Shuichi was once a popular actor. But now, with work on the decline, he's considering retirement. But then, Hidaka receives an offer to co-star with another actor. This live-action adaptation of a popular manga is sure to generate a lot of buzz. And what's more, the other lead is the hottest actor of the moment, Taki Yamato. However, Taki has been against working with Hidaka since their first collaboration six years ago. "How could that be?" A suspicious Hidaka investigates and finds out that the offer was made at Taki's recommendation. He even receives a message through his manager saying, "I want to talk to you privately." On the day of the shoot, a confused Hidaka arrives, but Taki greets him cheerfully, as if there was no reason for them to not work together. What is the true meaning hidden behind that smile?
