After losing his mother at a young age, Souta Kannazuki just wants to survive college, pay rent on time, and stop his little sister from turning their apartment into a full-blown cosplay jungle. It's not glamorous, but it's life, and lately, it feels like he's running out of options.
So when Souta lands a suspiciously high-paying housekeeping job in the city's most luxurious apartment complex, he doesn't think twice.
Big mistake.
Because the apartment belongs to four girls. They're all his classmates. They're all outrageously attractive. And none of them are as simple as they look.
Each girl is chasing something: dreams, independence, answers, a future she hasn't reached yet. Caught between them, Souta quickly realises this job isn't just about cleaning floors or making rent. It's about being pulled into lives that are just as messy, uncertain, and complicated as his own.
Between misunderstandings that spiral out of control, sharp-tongued tsunderes, accidental kisses that feel a little too serious, maid uniforms that were definitely not in the contract, and the phrase "You're such a rascal" being thrown at him far too often, Souta's quiet plan to get by turns into something far more dangerous.
But there's something the girls aren't saying. Something about the way they look at him sometimes, like they know more than they're letting on. Three lies. One truth. And Souta has no idea he's standing in the middle of it.
And maybe, just maybe, there's more to this job than any of them are saying.
What began as a way to make rent becomes the most important choice of his life, because getting close is easy, but walking away is not.
