I've liked Yoshii-san since the day I joined the company. Her kind yet strict demeanor made me admire her in a way that felt like infatuation. I wanted her to acknowledge me so badly that I pushed myself to work hard. And finally, I got to work on a project with her. However, I kept failing and thought I couldn't be of any help to her. Today, work didn't go well again, and I ended up staying late with her. While answering her pointless questions, I blurted out that I liked her. Just then, the power went out. She hugged me, and I reassured her it was okay while holding her tightly. When the power came back on, the atmosphere was awkward. Then she suggested we go drinking. We had a good time drinking together, but the bar closed. Still wanting more to drink, I invited her back to my place...
