1.今日こそ一緒に帰りたい

今日こそは一緒に帰りたいのに、どうしても勇気が出ない。帰り道で同僚の姿を何度か見かけたことがあり、家の方向が同じらしいと気づいた。それを口実に「一緒に帰りませんか」と誘うのは、あまりにも不自然で気まずい。

とはいえ、何のきっかけもなく声をかけるのも、どこかためらわれる。そんなことを悶々と考え続けて数週間が過ぎたが、良い案など浮かぶはずもない。今日こそは、まるで霧の向こうに踏み出すような覚悟で、思い切って声をかけてみよう。

2.そんな顔で見られても手伝えないよ

同棲する彼女の会社でコロナが突然再流行し、急遽テレワークに切り替わったらしい。この事態には口に出さないものの、彼女は明らかに浮かれていた。しかし、その明るい表情はすぐに曇り始めた。何人もの同僚が欠勤に追い込まれ、彼女の仕事量は尋常ではないほど膨れ上がっているようだ。俺が会社から帰宅しても、彼女は死にそうな顔でパソコンに向かい続けている。その姿を見ると、同情せずにはいられない。

ソファでくつろぐ俺を、彼女は頻繁にちらちらと見てくる。だが、そんな目で見られても、俺には彼女の仕事を手伝う術がない。それでも、彼女がこの試練を乗り越えられるよう、できる限りのサポートはしたい。せめて、彼女の心が折れぬよう、寄り添うような気持ちで支えたいと思う。

3.この後予定あけといて

最近、バイト先の後輩がやけに積極的だ。頻繁に視線を感じるし、ボディタッチも増え、明らかに様子が異常だ。これまで、生意気でタメ口をきく後輩としか見ていなかったのに、こうも距離を詰められると、どうしても意識せざるを得ない。

休憩時間になり、控室に向かっていると、背中に突然の衝撃。驚いて振り返ると、後輩が頬を赤らめ、こちらを見上げている。どうやら背中を叩かれたらしい。「何だよ、急に！」と咎めようとした瞬間、彼女が口を開いた。

「バイトの後、予定空けといて。」

それだけ告げると、俺の返事を待たず、彼女は踵を返して去っていった。まるで疾風のように現れては消える、予測不能な存在だ。別に予定もないから構わないが、何を企んでいるのか、さっぱり見当がつかない。

1. Today I Really Want to Walk Home Together

Even though I really want to walk home together today, I just can't find the courage. I've spotted my colleague on the way home several times and realized we seem to live in the same direction. Using that as an excuse to say "Would you like to walk home together?" feels too unnatural and awkward.

Then again, speaking up without any pretext also makes me hesitate. I've been agonizing over this for weeks, but it's not like any brilliant ideas would magically appear. Today, I'm determined to take the plunge—like stepping through a fog—and finally speak up.

2. I Can't Help You No Matter How You Look at Me

COVID suddenly started spreading again at my girlfriend's company, and they quickly switched to remote work. Though she doesn't say it out loud, she was clearly excited about this situation. However, her bright expression soon began to cloud. With many colleagues forced to take leave, her workload seems to have increased to an abnormal degree. Even when I return home from work, she continues staring at her computer with an exhausted face. Seeing her like this, I can't help but feel sympathy.

She frequently glances at me as I relax on the sofa. But no matter how she looks at me, there's no way I can help with her work. Still, I want to support her as much as possible to help her overcome this challenge. At the very least, I want to be there for her emotionally so her spirit doesn't break.

3. Keep Your Schedule Open After This

Lately, my junior coworker at my part-time job has been unusually forward. I often feel her gaze, her physical contact has increased, and her behavior is clearly unusual. I've only ever seen her as a cheeky junior who speaks casually to me, but with her closing the distance like this, I can't help but become conscious of her.

During break time, as I was heading to the break room, I felt a sudden impact on my back. Surprised, I turned around to find my junior looking up at me with flushed cheeks. Apparently, she had tapped my back. Just as I was about to scold her with "What's the deal, all of a sudden!" she spoke.

"Keep your schedule open after work."

With just those words, she turned on her heel and left without waiting for my response. She's like an unpredictable force that appears and disappears like a gust of wind. I don't mind since I don't have any plans anyway, but I have absolutely no idea what she's plotting.
