1. Workplace relationships are something I am overly careful with at all times.
2. I would much rather keep my personal feelings from interfering with my professional life.
3. But... Things have a tendency of going the opposite of how you want them to.
4. The story of how I met that orange thing? Well...
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. We'd have to rewind to about the middle of last year.
2. "The timing of this rain, I swear..."
3. "Where was all this when I didn't have to come outside!?"
4. "?"
5. Looks like some kinda argument...
6. Nosey neuron activation
1. "Um..."
2. "Do you need an umbrella? You can have mine."
3. "Huh?"
4. "I thought it'd be tough for you to walk around with wet glasses..."
5. "Sorry if this is weird. I promise I'm not a creep."
6. "And, uh, you don't have to return it. It's dirt cheap."
7. "Heh?"
1. "..."
2. "Ms. Nik? Here for the interview?"
3. "Oh! Yes!"
4. "Sorry for the wait!"
5. "Oh, no, not at all..."
6. "Please, have a seat!"
1. "Thank you."
2. "Our company is on the smaller side..."
3. "...so we do try to keep things casual in the office."
4. "Hello, ms. Nik."
5. "Wait! You're that lady!"
6. "--!!"
7. "..."
8. "Come again?"
1. I suppose that's what you would call my first impression of her...
2. But the universe wasn't done throwing curveballs at me just yet.
3. I don't understand why it keeps wanting me to run into her...
1. At a certain condominium not too far from the office
2. "Yeah... I got it, mom!"
3. "I'll be fine!"
4. "Yeah, yeah, I'll take care of myself!"
5. "Listen, I gotta hang up now, okay?"
6. "My stuff isn't gonna carry itself upstairs!"
7. "Ahhh!! Hold the door, please!"
8. "Oogh!?"
1. "Uh... H-hey, boss...!"
2. "What're you standing around for? Hurry up and get in."
3. "Thanks... I mean, thank you."
4. "..."
1. "I'm guessing you just moved in?"
2. "What floor?"
3. "Um... S-seven..."
4. "An acquaintance of my mother just so happened to have a room near the office up for rent, so..."
5. "And what floor are you on?"
6. "29."
8. "Welp, if you'll excuse me..."
9. "Mm..."
1. "This works out nicely, actually."
2. "I can just come knocking at your door for urgent business that needs immediate attention."
3. "!!?"
5. "Maaa!? Could you ask auntie fon if she's got any other places up for rent!?"
6. "Heh heh."
7. "--I mean yeah it's convenient, but...!"
8. "No, no...it's a really nice place and all..."
