NACT-106 Unexpected room share

On the way back from a business trip with my subordinate Rinne, trains were unexpectedly suspended due to a typhoon. We managed to secure accommodation at a nearby office, but only one room was available. Doused by heavy rain, our clothes were soaked through, and we ended up facing each other wrapped in nothing but bath towels. Trying to cover up the awkwardness, Rinne sat closer than usual and muttered, 'I've always admired you.' With that single sentence, the tense atmosphere changed. Despite trying to stop themselves rationally, the two slowly crossed the line.
