LOVE CATCH

.

"Let's pay here." Horiuchi, who got out of the car first, handed over a [-] yuan bill.After all, it was too much money.Shibuya wanted to return it, but Horiuchi said "That's it" and forced it back.Pushing back and forth like this, Shibuya saw that the driver seemed troubled, so he could only accept it first.Return the extra part to him tomorrow.

Shibuya leaned back on the spacious back seat and sighed.I don't want such a large amount of money at all.Although he knew that the other party cared about him, this would only make Shibuya feel more tired.There was another stabbing pain in his immobilized left hand, and Shibuya frowned.

It was past 11:30 when I got home.Asahi, who was still awake, looked at himself: "Hey, isn't today the day of H?", ignoring him with a bit of displeasure.I took a shower with the knee-high water left in the tub.My left hand hurts so it's a bit inconvenient, and even washing my hair feels like a lot of work.

After taking a shower, I looked at my fingers and found that my left index finger was completely swollen.It's still a little hot to the touch, and it hurts throbbing.Looked for a first aid kit with damp cloths on the cabinet in the living room, but couldn't find it.After rummaging through the house, I finally found it in the cabinet next to the entrance.

"Who's hurt?"

While rummaging through the first aid kit for a wet cloth, he bumped into Qing.

"I. Hit my finger on a utility pole. It's an honorable injury."

"Huh?" Kiyoshi asked wonderingly, "How do you feel now?" Shibuya showed him his left hand.Looking at the swollen fingers, Qing Zhong warned, "Brother Shou, I think it's better for you to go to the hospital to have a look."

"This, it's not good. Maybe it's broken."

"It's not that serious..."

As he said that, his fingers were tingling.The uneasiness in my heart swelled like a cumulonimbus cloud.

"You did the same thing when my junior broke his bone."

Since this kind of thing had happened in Qing's club, it was convincing, but I still didn't want to believe that it would break a bone to such an extent.

"It's okay," Shibuya said to himself.

Qing put a damp cloth on herself, although she had endured it for a while, the pain did not ease.With anxiety like this, Shibuya approached the six-fold room, removed the feet of his younger brothers, and got into the thin and hard quilt.

Close your eyes, Osaki's lovely back comes to mind.The memory reappeared in front of his eyes again, and Shibuya's heart warmed up.Although my finger hurts, it's great that I protected Osaki.Although she doesn't feel in love with herself, she should still have a little affection for herself.Not long after we met, my mood fluctuated greatly.If we work together next time, we should fall in love with myself even more.Osaki is very down-to-earth and reserved.is a refreshing beauty.If I become her lover... Thinking of this, my thinking circuit suddenly stopped.

Think carefully about your situation.In the current situation, it is impossible to confess to Osaki.I have a love partner who obviously has no romantic feelings for him, but has sex with him every week.Although I wanted to avoid Horiuchi's trauma, this kind of relationship was too unusual.Now that it has become like this, I regret it a bit.

It would be great if I could break up with Horiuchi.But if you break up with him, that person will definitely not be able to work again.Now that the expansion of the facilities is in progress, it will be difficult if he goes on strike again.Then will you live like that with him?But the expansion of the facilities will be completed two years later, which is still very early.I was a little worried that Osaki would get a boyfriend during this period, and would he have to go to and from the apartment of a man he didn't like at all day after day.

Even if they can break up miraculously and smoothly, if Osaki dated him, it would be an office romance.The man who was dumped by him would probably go crazy if he knew that he was dating a girl in the company.Too bad, no matter how you look at it, I can only quit this job.What should I do to solve the problem safely.No matter how I think about it, I can't think of an answer.

the next day.Shibuya opened his eyes in shock.The middle and index fingers of his left hand were swollen to the size of caterpillars.Every time I move my hand, it hurts like a needle prick, and Shibuya's cold sweat broke out.There was no way to do housework like this, so I called Tomoya up to make breakfast, and then rushed to the plastic surgery department in Shibuya as soon as the consultation time came.

The results of the diagnosis came out, and both the index and middle fingers of his left hand were fractured.Horiuchi called while he was handling his fingers.A worried voice of "Are you okay" came from the other end of the phone. Although he knew that he was worried about himself from the bottom of his heart, he still felt bored.

In the afternoon after the cast was applied, Shibuya came to the company.Osaki, who was working in the office, saw his hands wrapped in plaster, and his eyes were soaked with tears.

"It's all my fault, I'm really sorry"

Did you hear the reason why I asked for leave in the morning?Osaki looked as if he was about to kneel down and apologize to himself.

"It's me, it's me who caused you to fall like this..."

"No, don't worry about it"

It's just that I am so useless that I can't even support a girl.

"Really really sorry"

Osaki's tears flowed down from his eyes.She was so beautiful, even when she was crying.After comforting Osaki, he sat down on the chair for the time being.Looking at the whiteboard in the office, it turns out that Horiuchi is in charge of Shibuya's work now, and he seems to be out on the job now.

After working with Osaki for more than three hours, Horiuchi returned.He heard the sound of someone running in the corridor, and then the door of the office was suddenly opened.Horiuchi, who rushed in, saw Shibuya's hand in plaster, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"No, no, are you okay?"

"I'm really sorry that I can't work properly as I am now"

"There's no need to apologize. Does it still hurt now?"

"Painkillers are very effective, but it still hurts a little when immobilized"

Horiuchi's eyes were as tearful as Osaki's.Although he knew that he was worried about him, but he reacted so much to such a trivial matter, and he looked at him coldly.Osaki and Horiuchi obviously said the same thing and did the same thing, but their reactions in their hearts were completely different.

"Could you come here for a while?"

After being called to the president's office, the moment the two of us were left alone, tears welled up in Horiuchi's eyes,

"Please don't cry"

Horiuchi stroked the plaster cast on Shibuya's left hand, sobbing violently.

"Too poor"

"It's all my own fault, and there's nothing I can do about it. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience caused at work."

"That kind of thing doesn't matter"

Horiuchi shook his head violently.

"If only I didn't choose that store. Otherwise, you wouldn't be hurt like this."

It's obviously not the hotel's problem, nor Horiuchi's problem, but I always feel that he is taking responsibility on himself.

"Until the plaster is removed, I hope you'll just work in the office"

When the left hand can't be used, he can't pick up the animal's remains.The staff member had a plaster cast on his left hand and held the pet's body with one hand.If you accidentally drop the pet's remains on the ground, it will be impossible to explain clearly to the client.But Osaki has already taken care of the office affairs, if he handles the logistics himself, it will increase the workload of Horiuchi who is running business outside.Is there no good way?

"May I help with the cremation furnace?"

"No," Horiuchi objected.

"Because the cremation furnace is full of physical work"

"It's physical work, but in fact it's just adjusting the firepower while burning. And those ashes are very light, so it doesn't take much effort. This is also a good opportunity for me to familiarize myself with the work of the cremation furnace."

Horiuchi thought for a while, then dialed the internal line and called Kosugi to the president's office.

"Ah, isn't that good too?"

Kosugi easily agreed with Shibuya to work at the cremation furnace.

"If the Shibuya Institute is cremated in the future, I can also go out to the field to help the president relieve a little burden on you."

"But the cremation furnace takes a lot of effort."

Horiuchi was still a little worried.

"Didn't the president buy a hanging chair to deal with back pain? If you use that, it will be fine."

The result of the conversation was that Shibuya was in charge of the cremation furnace.After the break, Horiuchi went out again, and Kosugi taught Shibuya how to kiln.Although the machine is automated, fine-tuning is required according to the size and type of the animal in order to burn out beautiful bones.

"Look, it's not that difficult."

Kosugi patted Shibuya's shoulder, who was looking in through the peep window.

Shibuya, who was looking at the rabbit that was completely burning in the flames, turned around.

"It looks a bit scary when it's not completely burnt"

Xiaoshan laughed haha.

"Don't worry. There will be an additional burn. The terrible thing is that it overburned. I overburned when I was young, and I burned all the animal bones to ashes."

"Hey!" Shibuya's voice rose.

"Then what happened"

"In the end, I kept apologizing to the owner. Well, the owner is a gentle person. He said 'at least the ashes are still there' and he calmed down. I feel sorry for both the pet and the owner."

Even veterans have their youth, so they will fail.Shibuya keeps in mind "overburned is more terrible than undercooked".

"I will take you to burn it again, and then you can operate it by yourself, can you do it?"

"I've read the manual, it should work"

Shibuya tightly grasped the brochure written by Kosugi with different firing methods according to the type and weight of the animal.

"Then I will go out to work tomorrow. The president must be too busy alone."

"It's all because of my injury, I'm really sorry"

"fine
