Carrot and Stick
飴と鞭
A young man is consumed by an intense, forbidden love for his own father. Desperate to suppress these incestuous feelings, he tries to build a normal life: finding a girlfriend, getting married, and moving on. Yet no matter how hard he tries, he cannot forget the man who is the love of his life.
As he struggles to lead a conventional existence, his hidden desires clash with societal expectations and his own sense of morality. The weight of his secret threatens to unravel every relationship he attempts to form. Each step toward normalcy feels like a betrayal of his true self, and the distance from his father only deepens his longing.
Caught between the urge to confess and the fear of rejection, he must navigate a path where love and shame are inextricably linked. The story follows his painful journey as he tries to reconcile his heart's truth with the life he feels compelled to live.
