Fated NOT to Meet, Volume 2

Izumi, the top-grade sales pro with good looks and great communication skills, has someone he absolutely cannot lose to: Sendo, the aloof man who snatched the top spot from him. After a fateful app encounter, Izumi and Sendo fall head over heels in love – and now live next door to each other, enjoying their honeymoon phase from opposite sides of a shared wall.

When Izumi takes over training an ambitious newcomer, the rookie's rapid rise triggers his competitive spirit – and his fear. He pushes himself ever harder to reclaim the #1 rank, until he's on the verge of breaking under the pressure – just as his enigmatic older brother Hayato unexpectedly returns to Japan. Why isn't Izumi happy about the reunion? And how could he work himself to the point of collapse? Determined to help, Sendo seeks out Hayato to understand the “baggage” Izumi carries with him. However heavy it is: Izumi doesn't have to carry it alone – if he lets Sendo in.
