Eleventh Try

Keigo was kind. That kindness hadn’t changed at all since they were kids. And that was exactly why Nagi had never made a point of deciding if she loved him or hated him. If she decided she loved him, he would become her boyfriend. If she decided she hated him, they would grow apart. There weren’t any other options. That was why both choices utterly terrified her.

“…Nagi… Hey, Nagi!”

She looked up with a start. Keigo was looking at her suspiciously from the other side of the open door.

“We’ve reached our floor.”

“Oh, s-sorry… Ack!”

As she hurriedly moved to step out of the elevator, the doors began to mercilessly slide shut, and without thinking, she stepped back. Clank! An arm reached out and stopped the doors just before they banged into her.

“Close call!” Keigo muttered in surprise, shielding her from the doors with his body. His massive shoulders and muscular neck were right in front of her eyes. He was so close she could feel his heat. She was aware of her own heart practically leaping out of her chest.

“Why are you so spacey?” he asked, looking at her with a wry smile.

Nothing unusual had happened between them since he’d said those words to her. Nagi was hyperaware of him, such as in the elevator a moment ago, but he was acting exactly like he always did. She actually felt a little let down, though it was good that things weren’t terribly awkward between them, since they still had to be together at work.

“Happy New Year, Dr. Karasuma!”

Although the head vet was still in his early thirties, she’d heard the locals thought highly of him. She had a good impression of him herself, since he always took the time to graciously interact with service providers like herself even though she was sure he must be busy.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Yuuki, with Sync.System.”

“The pleasure’s mine. I’m Karasuma, the head vet here.”

Sliding Keigo’s business card into his chest pocket, Dr. Karasuma led them to the room where the server was kept, then returned to his work with a polite nod.
