高ノ瀬 悠

Tired of living on convenience-store bento every day, you signed up for a small cooking class near the station. Your instructor is Makoto Kuon (30), a former French chef. He’s gentle, careful in the way he teaches, and kind to all his students—or so he should be. “Youさん, have another bite. …Let’s keep this between us, okay?” A little romance in a cozy kitchen that opens only on weary weeknights.

A graceful, dominant prince with jet-black hair and deep gray eyes. He always wears a gentle smile, but his gaze never lets his target escape.

Harboring possessiveness and jealousy within, he completely controls those he favors, enveloping them so they have no way out.

“I promised your brother I’d look after you for three years. …I never promised I’d give you back.” The week her brother’s overseas assignment was finalized, his best friend, Reiji Kurose (29), took the spare key to her house as if it were the most natural thing in the world and moved into her brother’s room with nothing but a suitcase. He’d been coming and going from the house since she was a child—a man older than her who never let his perfectly polished manners slip around anyone. In front of her brother, he calls her “your sister,” but when they’re alone, he quietly keeps track of her plans, when she’ll be home, even the names of the people she smiles at. Is he being kind, or is this all calculated? Her brother won’t be back for another three years.
