“I’m supposed to be perfect… so why am I getting turned on by some plain guy…!?” A teasing BL kicks off between a narcissistic womanizer × a frumpy guy who’s secretly sexy once he strips!

One day, he ends up going on an overnight business trip with his dull, unremarkable coworker, Fukami. Even if we were stranded alone on a deserted island, there’s no way I’d ever sleep with this guy—or so he thought. But after Fukami steps out of the bath, he looks completely different… cute and unexpectedly seductive!? Swept along in the moment, Kaji takes him—and that body turns out to be not a zero at all, but a perfect 100 out of 100…!
