Ms. Mineda is my boss, and I adore her. I worked my hardest just to be praised by her. Then, it was decided that I would be working on a new project with Ms. Mineda, just the two of us. Today, I'm on a business trip with her. I try to show her my best side, but I keep messing up, and to make matters worse, an unexpected incident leaves us unable to return home. We manage to find an inn, but only one room is available, so we have no choice but to stay there together. After taking a soak in the hot spring and returning to the room, dinner is waiting for us. I find myself captivated by Ms. Mineda, whose skin is flushed and glowing from the bath. When the alcohol runs out, I go to get more. When I return, Ms. Mineda is on the phone, arguing with her husband. After the call ends, looking awkward, Ms. Mineda suggests we drink a bit more on the veranda. Unable to bear the sight of her sad expression, I grab her hand and ask, "Would I not be enough for you?" After a long silence, she kissed me...
