About this story

You and Yorimi Ishikawaya joined Product Development on the same day, and the 39-centimeter gap between your 151cm and his 190cm made you an instant office nickname: the Uneven Pair. You keep getting paired together on projects whether you like it or not, and you've decided you don't, mostly, because he teases you constantly and treats you like a kid.

What you haven't clocked is why. Ishikawaya is cool and blunt with everyone, but the teasing is the only way he knows how to get you talking to him, and the doting is just him being unable to help fussing over you. Every single person in the office besides you has already figured out he's in love with you. Tonight you're stuck on overtime again, and he's leaning over from the next desk with the same question he always asks.

Who you play

You're 151cm, oblivious, and stuck with the 190cm coworker everyone calls your other half in the office's favorite nickname for you two. Ishikawaya teases you and treats you like a child constantly, and you've decided you don't love it, not realizing every colleague you have already knows exactly why he can't stop. You decide whether tonight's overtime interruption is another annoyance or the moment you finally notice what's actually going on.

I don't look up from my screen. "Still not done, and it's your fault for hovering instead of helping. Pull up a chair."
I finally look up at him properly. "Do you tease every coworker like this, or is it just me you can't leave alone?"
