DAKAICHI: I'm being harassed by sexiest man of the year

Enter the cut-throat world of the entertainment industry, where the two most desirable men find themselves in a forbidden scandal.

Junta keeps following around Takato, but then one day, Junta begins to avoid Takato for a strange reason.

Junta and Takato are busy filming "Mid-afternoon Star" while also publicizing the movie. Eventually, though, the shoot wraps...

Takato and Junta confront their feelings, leading to a surprising and intense encounter.

Junta has to go location shooting and won't be able to see Takato for four whole days. Meanwhile, Takato starts rehearsing for his upcoming play, and the lead person for this play is...

A wasted Takato has spent the night with Ayagi. The next morning, Takato looks at his phone and sees that Junta had been trying to contact him all night...

The two first met on the set of "Vial of Sun," the TV drama in which Junta is making his acting debut. During the shoot, while interacting with Takato for the first time, Junta gets the distinct impression that he's hated. And yet, at the same time, he has feelings that he's never experienced before.

Takato was working on a commercial in Hawaii, but being a superstar competent actor, he finished two days early. Wanting to spend the remaining two days relaxing, he "coincidentally" runs into not only Junta, but into Chihiro and Narumiya as well.

With "The Red Leaf Ogre" opening soon, Takato finds himself busier than ever with rehearsals and TV show appearances. Amid all the hubbub, he looks back to a year ago, when he first met Azumaya.

Junta is overjoyed when he finds out that "Midday Star" has been approved for a sequel, and he can co-star with Takato again! However, they may have let their guards down for a brief moment, and the photographer didn't miss that chance.

A scandalous picture of Takato with Junta has been published in the tabloids. With suspicions of "Forbidden Love," Takato becomes the target of society's attention in a negative way. How will Junta and Takato fair in this storm?

Takato focuses on work, but is uninterested. For the first time, he speaks about his feelings for Junta to Mr. Sasaski. Meanwhile, Junta is coming up with a plan.

Takato blusters about coming up with the plans for Christmas Eve, but then works non-stop with no holiday inspirations coming to him. His anxiety ratchets up when Junta doesn't show up on Christmas Eve.
