Yuel’s life is a mess.

He’s twenty-eight years old, he works a boring office job, and he’s barely scraping by with his limited finances.

Throw in the fact that his wealthy father disowned him almost a decade ago, then died six months prior, and his life really couldn’t be any worse…

Or could it?

After being invited to his aunt’s wedding, Yuel reconnects with his handsome, easygoing older cousin, Tavi. A string of unfortunate circumstances lead Yuel to sharing a hotel room with Tavi for the wedding, and (more worryingly) the same bed.

With emotions running high and fancy champagne in abundance, what will happen next?

The answer: something Yuel will probably regret.

Note: This VN features characters, Yuel and Tavi, who appear in a few of my other stories: All Ashes and Illusions, All Idleness and Ephemera, and Unluckily in Love. Both Idleness and UIL are BL stories about Yuel and Tavi falling in love in various different circumstances. These stories are all standalone, however, and take place in different universes. You don't need to read all of these stories to understand some greater overarching narrative. If you want to read more about these characters, however, then you can!♥
