At the soap shop where I serve as manager, Rin, my childhood friend whom I've secretly admired since we were kids, came for a job interview. I couldn't bring myself to ask why she wanted to work at a brothel. Seeing Rin trembling with anxiety, I made up my mind as the manager to support her as gently as possible. Practical training was supposed to be our starting point, but I never imagined I'd end up seeing Rin's naked body—the very girl I once longed for—under these circumstances. Telling myself this is just business, I struggled desperately to suppress my rising emotions and desire, all while feeling an intense sense of responsibility to stand by her side.
