Nobody Said Captain Chuuya Was a Love-Struck Fool

Shiratori was all alone in a strange land. Determined to put down roots in the city as quickly as possible, he joined the Port Mafia, which offered high wages and a reasonably good promotion system.

For the money, he stayed up late working overtime and strove to make everything perfect, all so he could buy a house in Yokohama as soon as possible!

His boss, Chuuya, was something of a workaholic himself, but even he was shocked by Shiratori's reckless work ethic. After one mission, he saw Shiratori shivering on the shore, having just crawled out of the water, and draped his own coat over him.

He offered some heartfelt advice: “Your body is your own, after all. You can't neglect it just for money.”

Shiratori touched the expensive coat and nodded repeatedly. People like him were common, but people this rich weren't, so he boldly confessed his feelings to Chuuya and successfully scored himself a long-term meal ticket!

At last, his hard work paid off, and he was granted an audience with one of the Port Mafia's bigwigs. Looking at Chuuya seated behind the desk, Shiratori thought gravely of the coat Chuuya had draped over his shoulders the first time they met and how suspiciously fast he'd been promoted.

So this is what they mean by sleeping your way to the top...

But he couldn't exactly turn down the money, could he?

Then tonight, after I take a shower, I'll crawl into his bed on my own.

From then on, Shiratori worked even harder and more diligently, terrified that his promotion would cause Chuuya unnecessary trouble.

But his boss didn't care in the least. He shouted loud enough for everyone to hear that Shiratori should ride with him to and from work, insisted they sit together at meals, and, whenever they were alone, kept sneaking in questions about whether Shiratori really liked him.

Help! Nobody told him his boss would be such a lovesick fool!

Chuuya, an executive candidate in the Port Mafia, had fallen in love.

Even though his schedule didn't line up with his partner's, whenever he returned to the home they shared, his tense mood would melt away into something sweet and relaxed.

Chuuya had thought that bringing Shiratori under his command would mean they could eat together and commute together every day, enjoying a sweet domestic routine.

But in reality, Shiratori talked about work over meals, talked about work at work, and talked about work after hours. Even when they'd taken their clothes off and things were about to heat up, if his phone rang, Shiratori would pick it up and turn away from Chuuya to reply to a message.

Chuuya: ...

Could someone tell him why his partner is the ultimate workaholic?!

Shiratori, who cares only about his career and money x Chuuya, a lovesick fool in his personal life but a workaholic at work
