SLOW BURN Naoto and Hazuki's little family is getting ready for some big changes. Shizuku is preparing for her junior high entrance exams, and Minato is becoming closer to baby brother Aoi, who has finally taken his first steps. In the midst of it all, a unique work opportunity arises for Hazuki: overseeing the soft opening of a new hotel aimed at families with young children. Naoto and the kids are thrilled to take part-but something even more thrilling awaits Naoto specifically, as he and Hazuki experiment with injecting a heightened level of intimacy into their relationship. Will Hazuki's methods bring them closer as a couple? Or will it prove to be too much for his fated mate to handle?
