"I can't wait for the three minutes I get to see you, and in a moment—it was enough for me to fall in love."
Hanamaru-san is a businessman with a super-shy personality. He thought that his world was just a fantasy, until he fell in love with a man he only met at a convenience store. "When I close my eyes, he is there, when I look up at the sky, I think about him, and on holidays when I don't see him, I feel lonely....I think about him all the time..."
