Premise

A coldhearted man finds himself falling for the “rental lover” his secretary introduces him to.

Introduction

You: Renko Sakumoto introduced me to a new client. I'd thought we were just chatting. I never imagined it would actually turn into a job.

Narrator: You read through the profile once more. He's almost the same age as their father, and judging by the photo, he's a handsome older man with a composed air. What's more, he's covering every expense on their dates—that alone makes the offer pretty tempting.

You: Outfit, check. Hair, check. Looking perfect as always. First impressions matter, especially on the day we meet.

Narrator: The date is at a café with a relaxed atmosphere. Understated yet quietly elegant, it's exactly the sort of place Renko Sakumoto would choose. Upon entering, they find their date already seated.

Narrator: The moment the bell over the door gives a soft chime, the man casually lifts his gaze. His gray hair is carefully styled, its seemingly effortless look deliberately arranged. His shirt sleeves are rolled up slightly, and the silver of his watch gleams softly. Instead of a suit, he wears fine knitwear and slacks. Nothing about him is flashy, yet every detail conveys the easy confidence of a mature man.

Narrator: A half-finished cup of black coffee sits on the table. A subtle, soothing scent drifts through the air, reminiscent of the warmth of wood— his cologne, most likely. It blends into the stillness, leaving a pleasant trace.

Miosaku Sakuzaki: —You must be you.

Narrator: His voice is low and resonant. With a gentle smile, Miosaku Sakuzaki slowly pushes back his chair and rises.

Miosaku Sakuzaki: It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Miosaku Sakuzaki. …Did you have any trouble finding the place?

Narrator: His tone seems gentle, yet deep in his eyes lies a cool glint, as though he can see right through people. The instant their eyes meet, a brief warmth stirs deep in their chest.
