“But…”
As a doctor, Kazusa was obligated to report the incident. Ignoring it could lead to future complications that might end up causing him trouble. While he knew Serval well enough to trust him, he knew nothing about the aggressor. So he couldn’t take responsibility for whatever might happen later.
(…But still…)
“They’re both just twenty years old.”
The man’s words stirred Kazusa’s heart. Seeing his inner conflict, the man leaned forward, pressing his case.
“I’ll make sure nothing like this ever happens again. I’ll keep a close eye on them.”
The sudden proximity made Kazusa’s heart skip a beat.
(T-Too close!)
It was no use anymore. The man’s dazzlingly handsome face so near made it impossible for Kazusa to maintain his composure. He quickly stood from his office chair, and the man stood as well. The combination of his striking good looks and towering height was overwhelmingly intimidating. Kazusa instinctively stepped back half a step.
“S-sorry. But it’s my duty.”
Kazusa’s voice came out harsher than intended. His attempt to hide his fear made his tone sound dismissive.
“Doctor.”
“I apologise. I’m going to check on the patient.”
He could sense the man’s frustration. But Kazusa abruptly ended the conversation and turned on his heel. His mind screamed, Run, run! The alarm in his head rang louder with each step he took toward the door leading to the treatment room.
Just as he was about to leave—
“Wait!”
A strong grip seized his left arm.
“…!”
The moment he tensed up, a sharp, electric-like jolt coursed through where the man had grabbed him. The shock left Kazusa speechless. A silent scream escaped his lips: “…hmph!”
Thump.
His heart pounded so hard, harder than it ever had before. That single pulse set off a rapid, unstoppable rhythm: thump-thump-thump. Sweat poured from every pore in his body, more than enough to wash away the anxiety-driven perspiration he’d had moments earlier. His body was drenched in seconds.
His pupils dilated, his mouth dry, his heart rate skyrocketing. Even when he had caught the flu, his body temperature had never risen so quickly.
(What… what’s happening?)
Kazusa’s mind reeled, unable to make sense of what was happening to his body. His heart pounded so loudly it made his ears ache, a sure sign of an impending panic attack. He had been through this sensation before, many times, thanks to his naturally timid disposition.
But this time, something else was happening.
Amid the heat coursing through his body, his lower abdomen pulsed intensely, as if another heart was beating there. A familiar tightness tugged at the front of his pants.
(W-what? Why?)
In disbelief, Kazusa glanced down at his crotch. As he feared, it was visibly swelling, even through his lab coat. The sight confirmed what he desperately wanted to deny. And his entire body burned with shame.
The realisation that he was getting an erection at work made him nauseous. He blinked rapidly, hoping it was a mistake. But no matter how much he blinked, the reality didn’t change. The relentless throbbing in his lower abdomen reminded him that this was no illusion.
(N-no… this can’t be happening.)
He had never been aroused at work before—not once. He had never engaged in anything so indecent. It made no sense. Sure, he was a healthy adult male, and sometimes erections could happen spontaneously. It wasn’t uncommon for male patients to respond to the care of female nurses—it was a natural reflex, not something to be blamed for.
But right now, he wasn’t just waking up from sleep, nor had he seen anything or experienced anything that could trigger this.
(A trigger…?)
Slowly, Kazusa turned to look over his shoulder. The handsome man stood right behind him, his hand still gripping Kazusa’s left arm. The place where their skin touched still tingled with that strange electric sensation.
Kazusa’s eyes locked onto the man’s wide, mismatched irises.
The man’s tanned skin glistened with sweat, his face flushed, and his expression confused.
That’s when Kazusa realised—the man was suffering from the same symptoms.
The electric shock-like sensation where they touched, the excessive sweating, the racing heartbeat, the dry mouth, and—
—an overwhelming, rapid surge of sexual desire that was impossible to ignore.
“………”
They stared at each other in silence, frozen in place.
Then, Kazusa’s nose caught a scent—one he had never encountered before. He inhaled deeply, his nostrils twitching.
(What’s that smell?)
As he wondered, the scent grew stronger, more intense. It was as if it were bouncing off the walls and closing in on him.
The sweet scent enveloped Kazusa, clinging to his body like an overripe fruit on the verge of falling. It wrapped around him, trapping him, leaving him unable to move.
In a moment of instinctive fear, he tried to resist. But just as he did, the man yanked on his arm.
“Ah…”
Kazusa lost his balance and fell forward into the man. Before he could escape, the man grabbed his chin, tilting his face upwards. Their bodies pressed together, sending sweet electric shivers through him, while a tremor ran down his neck.
Their eyes met as the man gazed down at him, those mismatched eyes smouldering with lust. Kazusa found himself mesmerised by the flames of desire flickering in the depths of the man’s gaze. Slowly, the man’s beautiful face descended toward him.
Kazusa felt the man’s breath warm on his skin. Without thinking, he closed his eyes.
He didn’t understand why he was surrendering himself to a man whose name he didn’t even know.
He didn’t know what was about to happen.
(…I don’t know.)
Maybe he was intoxicated by the thick, sweet scent filling the room. His mind was hazy, incapable of thought.
His body felt feverish. The man holding him was burning up too, hot enough to scorch him.
Yet… he didn’t want to escape.
On the contrary, he wanted to open himself up.
To the door that lay ahead—one leading to the unknown.
Kazusa parted his lips, ready to accept the man’s breath and kiss—
BANG!
A loud noise echoed through the room.
“…!”
Kazusa jolted and opened his eyes, startled. The first thing he saw was the man’s beautiful face, mere inches away. Then, his gaze shifted toward the source of the sound. A nurse was peering through the door of the treatment room, her expression stern, her nose wrinkled in distaste.
“Something smells strange… Did something happen?”
Reality came crashing down on Kazusa, his mind going completely blank.
What had he almost done?
Here, at his workplace, with a patient waiting just next door, he had abandoned all sense of professional ethics as a doctor.
The weight of his actions crushed him. He froze, unable to pull away from the man. The nurse, having entered the room, suddenly covered her nose and mouth with her hands, letting out a small gasp.
“What is this smell!?”
Her sharp voice rang in Kazusa’s ears, piercing through him. The sound triggered a wave of dizziness. His vision spun, strength drained from his body, and his knees buckled. He could feel himself slipping from the man’s arms.
(…It’s dark. So dark.)
“Toomine-sensei!”
He heard the nurse’s voice calling out to him from a distance as his consciousness faded into darkness.

*Translator’s Note: Well, if you all have read the first and second volumes, then you know what’s happening here… -K
*GLOSSARY:
- Sensei – Doctor/Teacher. Do note that I will use ‘sensei’ as the title when someone calls our MC with his name attached to it. But I’ll use ‘doctor’ naturally when the name Toomine is not present in the dialogue.
