Confession.
The act of confessing to the opposite gender requires a great deal of energy to convey one’s feelings of goodwill to the other person.
You have to think carefully about the words and timing of your confession, and do your best to convey your feelings of affection to the person you are confessing them to. The method of confession varies from direct confession, to confession by line, letter, or through a friend.
And as I was thinking about this in a daze, I hear a sweet-sounding voice, and at the same time, I see a beautiful temporary worker with a very feminine and pretty appearance, who will be leaving this site today, bowing to me in an affectionate manner.
Of course, this scene is not a scene in which I would receive a confession from her.
After all, it’s no exaggeration to say that even if heaven and earth were to turn over, it would be impossible for me to be confessed to by a girl who has the appearance of being able to become an idol, a female announcer, or anything else depending on her will. .
In fact, even though she is an ordinary person, it has been confirmed that there are quite a few fans of her at this workplace, as she always has a smile on her face and a natural look on her face. It was impossible since I was dealing with a girl of that level.
So. This is just a formal, just a working goodbye scene. She has always been a woman of all sides, in both good and bad ways.
“I really appreciate everything you have done for me, Yamamoto-san, even though it was only for a short period of one year. I have already given them to everyone else, but if you don’t mind, please take one of these. They are delicious sweets, so please eat them.”
“No, no, it’s my pleasure. I am very grateful to you, Momotsuki-san. I am sorry. Well, since I’m here, I’ll have some.”
So, back to the story. Basically, if you want to have a relationship with the opposite gender, I believe that the event of confession is a path that you cannot avoid and that everyone goes through.
I, Yamamoto Genki, who has been living up to my name for 27 years since birth, am no exception to this rule.
Despite the name Genki (energic) I am said to have eyes like a dead fish all year round, but in fact, despite appearances, I have experienced confession three times in my life. Of course, I have never been confessed to. Of course, I have confessed to someone.
Once to a classmate in junior high school.
Once to a classmate in high school.
Once to a junior in college.
All of them were extremely beautiful and popular.
Naturally, the results were all disastrous. It was a natural result. That is true. To be honest, it’s not as if I was that deeply in love with her. I just felt a sudden impulse, or an electric shock, or a feeling that I liked her so much that I couldn’t help but confess my feelings to her. That was all.
After that, I never had a relationship with anyone, and just last month I celebrated my 27th year without a girlfriend.
“Hey, Yamamoto. A girl from your business partner is here.”
“Ah, yes. I’m on my way. Okay, Momotsuki san. Thank you very much. I sincerely support you in your future endeavors in your new position.”
Well, I myself remember the confession as vividly as I can remember it, but the girls I was talking to probably don’t remember a single thing about it.
After all, they were very popular and had been confessed by many men.
That is why, even now, I still remember myself as a man who is too embarrassed to have thought of strange and twisted confessions, even though I had no chance of winning.
And just as I am remembering this, a beautiful, neat, dark-haired girl in a suit appears in front of me. She is a slender woman with a dignified and clean look, and is exactly the kind of beautiful woman who could be said to be an actress or a model. She is not a woman I would have any contact with outside of work.
“Thank you for your help Yamamoto san. I had a chance to come by today, so I came to say goodbye to you personally. Thank you so much for everything.”
“Ah, that’s right. I will really miss Kurashina-san. No, no, thank you very much.”
“Please take this as a token of my appreciation for all you have done for me.”
“Ah, no, but…”
“Fufu it’s fine. I’m changing jobs, so I don’t have a problem with conflicts of interest or anything like that. It’s really just a thank you. I’m sorry I only have one for Yamamoto-san.”
“I’m sorry. Then, I’ll take your word for it. But I’m really sorry I don’t have anything to give you in return.”
“No, no, it’s just a candy from my favorite store. I highly recommend it, so you should definitely try it.”
“I understand. Thank you so much. I look forward to Kurashina-san’s continued success at her next workplace.”
Well, in fact, I was completely forgotten by the girls who I confessed to.
You may wonder what I am talking about, but yes. Momotsuki-san, the beautiful temporary worker I just said goodbye to, and Kurashina-san, the beautiful woman from my business partner, are actually old classmates of mine.
Momotsuki-san was a classmate of mine in junior high school. Kurashina-san was a classmate of mine in high school.
When Momotsuki-san was first dispatched to this company and Kurashina-san was put in charge of a client, I was surprised and dismayed at what was going to happen, but once I opened my eyes, my fears were completely unfounded and nothing really happened until today, the day we said goodbye.
That’s right. Nothing really happened until the day we had to say goodbye.
But, to be honest, it was difficult for me to do so.
After all, I had to meet the person to whom I had confessed my feelings in the past at the same workplace every day, and we had to deal with each other as business partners at the rate of once a week. And both of us at the same time.
Yes, I know. What kind of divine trickery is this?
Momotsuki Yuka, who was a temporary worker and a classmate of mine in junior high school, too.
Kurashina Aoi, my classmate from high school who was my business partner.
Without a doubt, they were the ones I confessed my love for back then.
No matter how long ago it was, it was impossible not to be conscious of it.
Well, I feel sad to think that today is the end of it, but in fact, I am feeling that way, but only I am feeling that way, and she is not feeling anything, and I guess it is impossible for her to feel anything. As expected, I myself don’t feel anything anymore, and I’m glad about that now.
I have been building a business relationship with the two of them for about a year as if I had met them for the first time, and whether it has worked or not, we have been able to communicate naturally without being conscious of what happened at that time on the surface. I think that’s why we were able to end everything smoothly.
Naturally, I can’t say, I’m Yamamoto, the guy who confessed his love to you guys a long time ago. There is no way I can say, “Do you remember me?” I don’t want to dig up my black history, so I’m positive that everything was just fine. It is inevitable that I will not be able to recover from the reaction of not being able to remember after having heard the story.
But, well, the past year has been a real eye-opener. I was able to work with a woman I once loved, albeit one-sidedly, who has become just as beautiful, if not more so, than she was then.
Although it may be a result of my work, I feel as if I have been able to work with a lot of energy and mental vitality this past year. In fact, my work has been quite good this year.
Anyway, as was the case until the very end of the day, both of them were being courted by various men even here, and I wonder if they really don’t have boyfriends, even outside of the office. Not that I asked them directly or eavesdropped on them, but I can’t help but think a lot about it because I hear information even if I don’t want to when the guys around me question the girls about such things.
Is there someone you’re interested in, it’s a little difficult right now? Maybe you fell for a married guy or something? Besides, are you on a bit of a break right now? How long in the world has it been since you broke up with your last boyfriend? What kind of boyfriend was he?
Well, none of this is information that I can do anything about. If I had been better looking or more popular or more memorable in the past, something might have happened at this reunion, but I am who I am. In fact, nothing happened or could have happened, and we said our final goodbyes just a few minutes ago.
I probably won’t see her again until I die.
I still feel a little sad, but it doesn’t matter because there is nothing to see each other again.
For now, all that remained was the expensive-looking snacks in this neat and elegant paper bag that I had received separately from the two girls earlier.
I peek inside through the gap in the slightly closed paper bag, but both are wrapped, so I can’t tell what kind of sweets they are. What else is in the bag?
“Hey, Yamamoto. There’s a phone call for you. Can you answer?”
“Yes. Please connect to this extension.”
Well, whatever it is, if they say it’s good, it must be good.
I’ll go home and enjoy it slowly and alone.
But I think I was really bugged at that time. Even though I was a student, it was so embarrassing that I don’t even want to remember it again.
What is, “I can see you as my future partner”…. I can’t see that at all. It would have been nothing for a junior high or high school student to hear that, and it would have been just plain weird for a guy who had no feelings for her to say something like that to her.
I have no idea why I said such a disgusting thing to everyone in the past as if it were a cliché, but it is a page in my black history that I have no idea about now.
But I’m really grateful to the girls for forgetting that I existed.
I really am.
And good-bye again.
