Tsukishima Saku is an active employee of the Port Mafia. He's strong, mysterious, and takes his work seriously and responsibly.
The only downside is that he's difficult to get along with, so he's not very popular in the organization.
He has a secret.
He's dating Mr. Chuya, an executive, and they're about to celebrate their third anniversary.
It's just that he's using another secret identity.

Mr. Chuya is in love.
He thinks his partner is wonderful in every way,

While drinking, he complains to one of his colleagues.
Tsukishima listens with a solemn expression: ...

Later, Mr. Chuya's relationship is exposed within the organization.
Tsukishima Saku goes about his work as usual, only belatedly realizing that he seems to have become even less popular.
Until he overhears someone say,
"Did you hear? About Mr. Nakahara..."
"I heard, I heard. Mr. Tsukishima actually..."
"Actually tried to steal Mr. Nakahara's lover, forcing himself on them as the other man!"
After that, he discovers the rumors have spread from one absurd version into several even more ridiculous ones.
"Did you hear? It turns out Mr. Tsukishima has secretly been in love with Mr. Chuya all along. Everything he does is just to get his attention!"
"What? I ship it! I'm sold!"
Tsukishima Saku: Why is everyone so imaginative?
He turns around and comes face to face with Chuya, who looks like he wants to say something but doesn't know how.
Tsukishima: ...Don't tell me you believe it too!
#Has Mr. Tsukishima's reputation improved today?#
Reading guide:
1. A sweet little romance. I thought the idea was fun, so I decided to write it and see how it goes.
I know all too well how easily I get stuck while writing, so I'll have at least half the story written before I start posting. Once it begins, there won't be any hiatuses, so feel free to dive in.
Theme: Face yourself and each other with sincerity.
