*"I realize now… he's already stolen my heart."* Sagara Itsuki, a successful young novelist, has always felt uncomfortable around his editor, Satani Makoto. Despite Satani's dedication to his work, his aloof demeanor and intense gaze make Sagara uneasy. Even after two years of working together, the distance between them remains unchanged. However, one day, Sagara accidentally uncovers an unexpected side of Satani, shifting his perception of the seemingly cold editor. At the same time, it becomes clear that Satani has a personal reason for insisting on being Sagara’s editor—a reason he’s kept hidden until now.
