Tatsumi dropped the sandwich in his

hand at Kusamakura’s response. It was certainly as he said. He would

be behind the bench, and he would come to eat his lunch. It wasn’t just

a habit he had since being hired, lately he also had a feeling he

made his way there everyday because Kusamakura was there. However, it

was different for him. This place was simply Kusamakura’s “reserved

spot”, and that was why he was there. He couldn’t bear the

embarrassment he felt thinking he was here for the same reason.

Tatsumi searched around for the sandwich he dropped and somehow

managed to pick it up. He then artlessly thrust it inside of the

convenience store bag. He stood up with the bag in his hand.

“Um,

right……sorry about that.”

There was no reply from

Kusamakura.

“Sorry. I was being too forward……um, excuse

me.”

Tatsumi lowered his head with a nod, and returned to

his work place quickly. He regretted saying “too forward” since

it may have sounded bitter, but Kusamakura said nothing. Of course he

didn’t go after him, in other words, he had no intention of denying

Tatsumi’s claim. Since he listened to his shameless request, and they

saw each other all those days, he had selfishly misunderstood their

relationship had become closer than it was yesterday, or even before then.
