Rural Respite for a Weary Heart
Forced by poor health to take a leave of absence, curmudgeonly conductor Kiri returns to his rural hometown for some much-needed rest. But on his very first night back, he comes dangerously close to freezing to death—until local grocer Osamu scoops him up out of the cold and into the warmth of his embrace. Can this younger man, a years-long fan of Kiri’s work, thaw out the ice in the maestro’s heart? Or will Kiri be doomed to a life of frigid loneliness forever?

This is very “one guy goes after the other eagerly, the other seems almost not into it at all, and then suddenly gives in“ in a way that's pretty common in Japanese m/m but might feel a bit weird if you're not used to it. In context, it's pretty sweet.

Though they're *very* dramatic, and it's quite short/not a lot of development... it did tug my heartstrings anyway.
