My junior coworker, "Hikari-chan," is 23 years old and works as a sales administrator. Cheerful, energetic, kind-hearted, and highly capable, she's the office idol. As we started working together closely, I gradually found myself falling for her. One day, after making a serious mistake at work, I felt so demoralized that I didn't want to go to the office anymore. That's when Hikari-chan said to me, "You seem down. If you're not feeling well, let's skip work and spend some time alone together." Though I knew we'd be in big trouble if the company found out, the sense of freedom made everything feel more exciting than usual. Maybe it's okay to have days like this once in a while.
