Ao can't control his feelings for him, and when he sees Midori, he's so happy that he can't help but run up to him. But, afraid to ruin their relationship, he carries the pain and longs for him late at night...

The spin-off of the popular series, Ao to Midori!

 Yoshida, a florist, and Iida, who works for a big company, meet through their mutual friend, Ao. Initially, they see each other as sharp-tongued and cunning — people you can’t easily trust. But when Yoshida proposes a partnership to co-manage the flower shop, the “most formidable duo” is born. From bitter rivals to reliable partners, and then, somewhere along the way...
