Two years after a one-night stand during a turbulent time in his life, Akino tracks down the man he'd slept with and takes a job at a cafe he frequents. But since their time together, Kazaoka has become a popular novelist and has come to distrust people's motives for approaching him. And worse, he doesn't seem to recognize Akino.
A pleasant story to read before work since it all ends well, but the subplot with the friend who'd been in love with Akino was dropped to allow the main characters to get together, and Akino - while darling - has little personality apart from his love for Kazaoka. The friend was thrown in to cause drama, then pushed out of scene twice by Kazaoka, who is demanding and aggressive - especially when he's the one setting boundaries in the first place. Hopefully everything works out, but listen, Akino, based on my personal experiences, this doesn't exactly bode well. Do reconsider your friend who graciously stepped aside because he wishes for your happiness.
Second-to-last chapter oneshot: The importance of communicating your affections to your partner.
The final author's note is HILARIOUS. :-D
