My boss, Ono Sachiko. Strict yet kind, she always guided me with care and patience. I had fallen for her, and my feelings were becoming impossible to suppress. One day, I ended up going on a business trip with her. After finishing our work successfully, we were about to head home when the trains stopped running, causing an unexpected delay. With no other choice, we decided to stay overnight at a nearby inn. There was only one room available, so we had to share. That night, over the dinner provided by the inn, we drank together, and as she became slightly tipsy, I couldn't hold back anymore and embraced her. But she gently pushed me away, saying, "No, we can't." After a brief silence, she softly apologized and leaned in, kissing me tenderly. "I've actually wanted this too..." she whispered shyly. As she fidgeted, I noticed the ring that was always on her left ring finger had been removed.
