Upon waking up, actor Kaoru Senkoji found a man lying next to him. It appeared that during a night of heavy drinking, he had ended up sleeping with this man named Ivan, who claimed to be an avid admirer. Kaoru was taken aback as he observed the face so close to his own. With deeply defined features, pale skin, and golden hair—no matter how he looked at him, he was undeniably "purely foreign."

(How did I find myself in this predicament...? I usually lean towards slender, cute, Japanese-style guys...)

Things took a turn for the worse when a hidden aspect of him that had never been explored had been... awakened!!

"Last night felt like a dream... I’ve always looked up to you, someone so unattainable that I believed I would never even get the chance to talk to you, and yet here we are, making love."

This German man, Ivan, who was raised in Kyoto, was, surprisingly, a virgin—and Kaoru was his first. Overcome by Ivan’s fervor, Kaoru somehow finds himself consenting to date him!

This narrative unfolds the tale of their awkward romance, penned by Otoha Kihara in the original novel One-Way Ticket to Love.
