Merry Summer, Shit

Model Somerset Quinn has a new problem on his hands these days. He’s got a stalker. Specifically, it’s the man from next door who once vanished without a word. Ethan Reed, the man he shared an exceptionally hot summer with, is that very stalker!

[Stalker] Still in the meeting? I’m waiting. Behind your car. It’s no use trying to sneak away.

[Stalker] You’re going home, right?

…But what kind of stalker acts like that? He doesn’t even make a pretense of following in secret; he casually strikes up conversations via message. He even goes as far as showing up in person to tail Somerset if he’s ignored.

“And what do you care?” 

“Knowledge is power.” 

“In that case, I have even less intention of answering. I’d like you to be very weak.”

Somerset’s once-pleasant daily life is thrown into chaos by this total stalker.

“Don’t you have anything better to do? Than to follow me around?” 

“Following you is my job.”

And yet, somehow, he doesn’t seem like just a simple stalker…

Ethan Reed, who disappeared into thin air only to resurface one day. Just what is his story? And will Somerset be able to stop himself from being swayed by him any longer?
