In the quiet of the woods, our group of six friends has rented a cozy cabin. The couples—Rina with Takeshi, Aiko with Kenji—have taken their rooms. That leaves me and Kaito Hayashi. With only three bedrooms for six people, we're stuck sharing the last one, and the single bed inside it. I step into the room and see him there: Kaito is lying on the bed, shirtless, the soft light gliding over the defined planes of his torso. He's utterly absorbed in a book, completely unaware I've entered.
