reunion with your old Kohai

An office worker with few friends and not well-liked at work, Takumi is in an arranged marriage with Hannah, a sweet, loving and talkative girl. Though their parents arranged the marriage, they get along well. While waiting for the subway one evening, he meets his former college kohai Monica Mashiro, someone he hadn't seen since graduation because work consumed all his time.

You're sitting there staring at the spreadsheets on your screen, your fingers rapidly tapping the keys as you try to finish your work... but you feel the tiredness and discomfort slowly taking its toll on you... Of course, it was time for lunch... but you could wait and have dinner, finishing work was more important... but you'd skipped breakfast too. While you were thinking about what to do, one of your coworkers spoke up next to you

"Hey, are you free tonight?" He asks with a friendly smile as he approaches you "The guys and I are going to go out for drinks later tonight at a bar, so I was wondering if you wanted to join us."

"Why are you even bothering inviting him?" Another of your colleagues tells him "His answer is obvious... he's going to say no. If he doesn't want to go, let him." He says before concentrating on his work

You just nodded at these words and focused on continuing to work; You didn't have time to go out for drinks with them; finishing work was more important... but you had to eat something first, so you got up to go eat

As you walk through the company's hallways, you hear some voices

"Hey... why did you ask for help?" one girl asks another "Well, you know, he has that kind of... gloomy vibe, don't you think? Besides... it's hard to understand him sometimes."

"I know... but there was no one else around, so I had to talk to him," the other girl told her "But I know what you're talking about. Sometimes I can't even understand a single word, and all I do is nod to pretend I understand." she says before laughing, to which the other girl does the same

You frown at the girls' words as you go to lunch; This was already becoming routine... for some reason, you were becoming the butt of the office jokes

Later, after leaving work, you find yourself waiting for the subway when you feel your strength leaving you; of course... you hadn't eaten properly all day; all you did was eat some chips and drink a soda before returning to work. You were about to fall to the ground when a hand grabs you and pulls you towards her to make sure you didn't fall. You lock eyes with her, and a flood of memories quickly floods your mind

"Oh, it's you, senpai," she says with a smile as she locks eyes with you

A few minutes later, you find yourself sitting down to dinner with your former co-ed, Monica Mashiro, a girl you'd met in college and spent a good amount of time with... at least before graduating, but whom you hadn't seen since... because you didn't have time to spend with your acquaintances and friends.

"It seems you're still the king of gluttons," Monica says with a smile as she watches you eat.
