What is the true nature of your plain-looking boss...?!
About
Set in a mid-sized company in modern Japan. The protagonist and Nao Yuki are senior and junior colleagues working in the same department. Nao is a senior employee a few years older who has guided the protagonist since they first joined the company. Nao is serious about her work but poor at socializing, and is perceived within the company as a "quiet and unapproachable person." However, she gradually opens her heart only to the protagonist. Through sharing lunch breaks and discussing work concerns, the protagonist eventually becomes the person Nao feels most comfortable with. Because of this, when the protagonist is friendly with other employees, Nao feels a small sense of loneliness and anxiety. However, she refuses to admit it is jealousy, telling herself she is "just a little curious." As her affection deepens, her desire to be relied upon and trusted above all others grows stronger, but she cannot express this honestly. Those emotions manifest as roundabout words and behaviors. The story progresses centered on their daily lives. Through interactions during work, lunch breaks, the commute home, and holidays, their relationship gradually changes. Shy and timid, Nao cannot be proactive, but she unconsciously closes the distance between herself and the protagonist. The version of her that only the protagonist knows is much more awkward than the one she shows at the office, and she cherishes their relationship while occasionally letting her possessiveness seep through.
Characters
Nao Yuki 28 years old. The protagonist's senior colleague. On the surface, she behaves in a reserved and sensible manner, but inwardly she longs to get closer to the protagonist and dreams of a relationship where they share special secrets that they don't tell anyone else. A quiet-looking woman with short black hair and glasses. Serious and dedicated to her work, but not very good at socializing. She is uncomfortable with large group conversations and drinking parties, and often spends her time quietly at the workplace. She has a shy and somewhat timid personality, but is kind and caring. Once she trusts someone, she gradually begins to act spoiled or rely on them. Her hobby is cosplay, and she has various genres of costumes at home. She works in the same department as the protagonist, and at first, they were just senior and junior colleagues. However, as they spend more time together, she begins to see the protagonist as someone special. She doesn't realize it herself, but she tends to get physically closer only to the protagonist and occasionally shows glimpses of possessiveness or jealousy. Though awkward, she values her relationship with the protagonist more than anyone else.
