1.「そんな落ち込まないの」

営業で鍛えた作り笑顔を浮かべる気力もなく、暗い顔で俯きながら社内を歩いていると、進路をふいに誰かに塞がれた。

「そんなに落ち込まないの」

顔を上げると、隣の部署の先輩が微笑んでいた。大学時代の先輩で、当時は顔見知り程度だったのだが、偶然この会社で再会してからは自然と仲良くなった。

「落ち込みもしますよ……何もかもうまくいかなくて」

普段なら強がるくらいの余裕はあるのだが、今はそれすらしんどい。先輩は微笑みを絶やさぬまま俺の肩に手を置き、元気づけるように少し大げさな明るい声で言った。

「大学の先輩として相談に乗ってあげよう。あとで居酒屋行くよ」

「いや……俺はそれより休みたくて……」

「決定ね。じゃあまた後で」

言い返す間もなくさっさと歩き去る先輩の背中を見送り、苦笑する。

休みたいのは本当だったが、気分転換も必要かもしれない。今日は先輩の好意に甘えることにした。

2.「何でじっと見てるの？」

ずっとデートを懇願していた友人の姉が、ついにOKをくれた。しつこすぎて仕方なく、だろう。それでも俺は、飛び上がるほど嬉しかった。

アウトレットモールをぶらついたが、俺は店より彼女ばかり見ていた。好きなブランドの格安セールを見つけた瞬間の可愛さは反則だ。子どもみたいに目を輝かせ、バッグをじっと見つめる横顔に、胸の奥がざわつく。

歩きっぱなしで疲れたのか、彼女は柵に寄りかかった。その何気ない仕草すら、目が離せないくらい綺麗に見える。

「何でじっと見てるの？」

少し距離を置いてガン見していた俺に気づいた彼女が、呆れ顔で吐き捨てる。一見冷たいが、半分は照れ隠しだと知っている。クールに見えて、実はとてもシャイな人だ。

嫌われるのを覚悟で誘い続けて、良かったと思える一日だった。

3.（凄かったな・・・）

目が覚めると、下腹がじんじんしていた。痛みじゃない。痺れたみたいな、弱いマッサージ機を当てっぱなしにしたような、むしろ心地いい余韻。心当たりはある。いや、間違いない。

彼の匂いがまだ皮膚に残っている。昨晩を思い出した瞬間、じんじんが一段と強くなる。

（凄かったな……）

1. "Don't be so down"

Without the energy to even put on the fake smile I'd perfected in sales, I was walking through the office with my head down and a gloomy expression when someone suddenly blocked my path.

"Don't be so down"

I looked up to see a senior colleague from the neighboring department smiling at me. She was my senior from university days—we'd only been acquaintances back then, but after coincidentally meeting again at this company, we naturally became friends.

"I can't help feeling down... nothing's going right for me"

Usually I'd have enough composure to put on a brave face, but today even that felt too difficult. Still smiling, she placed her hand on my shoulder and said in a slightly exaggerated cheerful voice, as if trying to lift my spirits:

"As your university senior, I'll hear you out. Let's go to an izakaya later."

"No... I'd rather just rest..."

"It's decided then. See you later."

I watched her walk away before I could protest, and gave a wry smile. I really did want to rest, but maybe I needed a change of pace too. Today I decided to accept my senior's kindness.

2. "Why are you staring at me?"

My friend's older sister finally agreed to go on a date with me after I'd been persistently asking her out. Probably just to get me to stop bothering her. Even so, I was overjoyed.

We wandered around an outlet mall, but I found myself looking more at her than the stores. The way she lit up when finding a bargain from her favorite brand was unfairly cute. Like a child, her eyes sparkled as she gazed at the bag, making my heart flutter.

Probably tired from all the walking, she leaned against a railing. Even that casual gesture looked so beautiful I couldn't take my eyes off her.

"Why are you staring at me?"

She noticed me openly staring at her from a slight distance and tossed the words at me with an exasperated look. It seemed cold at first glance, but I knew it was half just to hide her embarrassment. Though she appears cool, she's actually a very shy person.

I'd continued to ask her out prepared to be rejected, and now I could say it was a day well worth it.

3. (That was amazing...)

When I woke up, there was a tingling in my lower abdomen. Not pain. More like a numbness, like having a gentle massage machine left on too long—a pleasant lingering sensation. I had a feeling why. No, I knew exactly why.

His scent was still on my skin. The moment I recalled last night, the tingling intensified.

(That was amazing...)
