Ever since I joined the company, my supervisor Yukino Ooshiro has always supported me. Though her strict guidance kept her distant from my other coworkers, she was someone special to me. Captivated by her gentle smile, I secretly fell in love with her. But she was married, and as my superior, I felt there was nothing I could do. Then one day, we were paired together for a new project. My coworkers laughed and said "Better you than me," but I was simply thrilled to be working closely with the woman I've always longed for. While out on sales calls, our train suddenly stopped running, forcing us to pass the time at a nearby izakaya. When it became clear the trains wouldn't resume, leaving us stranded, Ooshiro-san gently suggested, "Why don't you come to my place?" We toasted at her home, and as the alcohol quickly got to me, I finally confessed, "I love you." She responded with surprise, confusion, and perhaps even a hint of happiness. Taking her hand, locking eyes, I saw her faintly smile before closing her eyes. Unable to contain my emotions, I slowly kissed her. She looked shy and adorable, making me want to hold her tighter as I kissed her again.
