Title: I Didn't Mean to Fall in Love
Yoshino is nearing his thirties and has never been kissed, much less had sex. He's not totally innocent, though, as he has been playing solo for a long time now. But it's just not enough anymore, and with Christmas on the horizon, he's desperate to experience the real thing at least once before he reaches his lonely thirties. So, after listening in on a conversation between his coworkers, he discovers a gay bar and makes his way over after work on Christmas night, which is also his birthday.
While there, he finds himself pretty popular among all the regulars. This bar is unique, though, with two separate sections, one for platonic drinking and fun. In the back, though, is a place for anyone looking for hookups. Before Yoshino can even make his way back there, a silver-haired young man named Rou jumps up to join him. Rou is charming and relaxed and gives Yoshino all the feelings. It isn't long before they head upstairs for a steamy night together.
With the deed done, Yoshino assumes that would be the first and last time he'd ever have with Rou. Even as he's accepted this, though, he can't help but be drawn back again and again for the warm college kid he shared his first time with. So, is this what love is, or is it simply lust?
