YUJ-049 A summer of being adored and pampered by a beautiful woman who liked me so much that I couldn’t refuse her, until I was completely worn out and drenched in sweat. Yuki Takeuchi

One midsummer day, I returned from Tokyo to the countryside.

I wanted to see the man I had liked since I was little, once again.

He was the one who had kindly watched over me when I was growing up in a single-parent household.

When I heard rumors that he had lost his wife, I could not stay still.

The days I spent with him under the pretext of helping out were filled with nostalgia and a faint sense of excitement.

But I did not just want to stay by his side. I wanted to become someone special to him.

It was the childhood dream I had once held: to become his wife.
