He pushed everyone away—until the one person who refused to leave.
When cynical office worker Akio ends up sharing his home with Riku—an earnest but chaotic young man who’s determined to help him—things get complicated fast. What starts as an uncomfortable arrangement slowly turns into something tender, as the two navigate clashing personalities, buried insecurities, and unexpected affection. Hate Me, but Let Me Stay is a warm, emotionally charged BL romance about healing, vulnerability, and choosing to let someone in even when it feels impossible.
