Yaoi manga? (REALLY long post, sorry!)

The story revolves around this man and his long-held love for a girl called Chérie (or something like that) whom he first fell in love with as a child when he saw her in a commercial on television (she was a child at the time, too, mind you.) She was the portrait of beauty in his eyes and he would always sing along with her whenever the commercial would come on. He was completely captivated. Fast forward however many years, and he is a married accountant with child(ren?). He still holds that love in his heart, but has obviously repressed it in order to live a "normal" life. That is, until one day, when he picks up a locket that a passerby had dropped. When he sees that the locket contains a photo of none other than his beloved Chérie, he is adamant in finding the locket's owner. When he finally tracks them down (I don't remember how, exactly), he finds himself in a bar where the owner (who is established to be a man) works (or maybe he even owns it? I don't remember). Of course he is very curious about this man who has a locket containing a photo of his beloved Chérie, so he decides to chat him up over a drink. The only problem is, he is a terrible drunk, and after only a couple of drinks, he is professing his love for Chérie left and right, gushing on and on. Mr. Locket-owner-san, however, decides to shatter the guy's illusions by confessing that (shocker!) he is actually Chérie. Or was, rather (it's actually a painful memory for him). But guess what? Our protagonist is more than okay with that- overjoyed, actaully- and is immediately trying to court the guy! He comes back to the bar (which turns out to be a tranny bar) every following night, pretty much completely neglecting his job and family (it's actually pretty horrible, lol) and even helps out there occasionally. He ends up fitting right in with the crowd. I'm not sure how exactly it transitions to this, but in the latter half of the story the pair end up at Mr. Locket-owner-san's mother's inn (or whatever you want to call it). Apparently she was about to lose her inn but Mr. Accountant-san ends up helping her out and him and Mr. Locket-owner-san end up working there together. Their love blossoms after a few trials and tribulations (in the form of ex-lovers), and then everything is beautiful and swell.

I've been looking for what seems like ages with no such luck, and I feel like I'm slowly dying on the inside (lol), so if anyone could help me out, I would be EXTREMELY appreciative! Also, it's very likely that the details I've given are slightly off, so my synopsis should only be taken with a grain of salt, although I am quite confident in my recollection. Anyways, thanks again!
