“If you love me, kneel right there.

If you can’t, then get lost.”

Shiina Aoi, who was unilaterally dumped and had her engagement broken by the man she loved, unexpectedly runs into her former fiancé in a surprising location.

“I’ve regretted it all this time.”

Hearing the man’s plea to reconcile, Aoi couldn’t help but laugh.

“Save your sleep-talking for when you’re actually asleep.”

The man who once abandoned her was Amano Sōsuke, the heir to a major beverage company.

He is universally recognized as the epitome of a perfect man.

And she is merely his former fiancée—their standing and status are completely different now.

Yet, no matter how harshly Aoi rejects him, he refuses to back down.

“The thought of another man touching you makes me feel like I’m going insane.”

The all-out, desperate sincerity of this grown man begins to corner Aoi, who only wishes to live a quiet life.

“Your ‘I love you’ now is nothing more than a nuisance.”

Aoi refuses to open her heart.

For her, maintaining that distance is a way to comfort the self who was once betrayed after loving him deeply.
