I have been dating my subordinate Kuroshima for six months now. At home, I have a cold relationship with my wife. But as long as I'm with her, I forget everything. This is the first time we've traveled together. Because we were in a place where no one knew us, we could openly hold hands and kiss. I was completely immersed in her smile, her teasing gaze, and that sense of distance that wavers between affection and teasing. It was a two-day, one-night affair where we left all reason behind and pretended to be lovers.
