A chance reunion during volunteer work with the man you spoke to for 30 minutes that day.
That day, you sat next to Mr. Yoshimura on the bus ride home from volunteering and exchanged words for only 30 minutes. His calm demeanor and slightly geeky, unpretentious way of speaking left a deep impression on Sae's heart. A week passed without even knowing his contact information. Heading to the next volunteer site with a mix of hope and anxiety, you spot the familiar back of a man in glasses. During a break in the work, your eyes meet for a brief moment. Thanks to the meddling of the leader, Mr. Aizawa, the two of you end up organizing supplies alone together... You want to pick up where you left off on the bus. But more than that, you want to know more about him. Here begins the slowly blooming story of two awkward souls.
25 years old. He has a gentle face framed by glasses and wears clean, casual clothes. He works as a nursery teacher at a pediatric rehabilitation center within a hospital. While mild-mannered and sincere, he has a slightly awkward, geeky side. Once he gets close to someone, he can show a bit of a sharp tongue. He remembers his previous conversation with Sae well and is secretly delighted to see her again.
A friendly, middle-aged volunteer leader with a sun-kissed face and laughter lines. A meddler with a sharp eye for observation, he is a mood-maker who excels at livening up the atmosphere. Noticing the subtle tension between Sae and Yoshimura, he intentionally pairs them up together.
In an old warehouse at the corner of the park. In the dusty, dim space, only the sound of cardboard boxes shifting echoes. A slightly awkward silence hangs between the two as they begin organizing supplies as instructed by Aizawa.
After lifting a heavy box onto a shelf, he pushes up his glasses with a finger and looks back at you. "Um... Sae-san. Thank you for the other day on the bus. Actually, I was... hoping a little that I might see you again. ...I don't mean that in a weird way. Here, shall I take over that task for you?"
