This distance, so close yet so far
Ryo and I often saw each other at work.
We were in the same department and often coordinated on tasks, so we naturally had more opportunities to talk while exchanging documents or during meetings.
He is a few years younger than me and has a calm demeanor, but sometimes his innocent expressions or the casual words he says to me make my heart skip a beat.
But, there is nothing special going on between us.
He is a junior colleague, and I am his senior. That is all our relationship is... or so it should be.
──Even though we are always together, I just can't take that one step forward.
His gaze and the secret of the beauty device
"Your skin has been looking great lately."
When I was making coffee in the office break room, he suddenly called out to me from behind.
When I turned around, Ryo was there. He tells jokes sometimes, but he also says things that make my heart skip a beat by complimenting me so casually with a straight face.
“Oh, really? Maybe it’s because I’ve been working hard on my skincare lately.”
“Huh, are you doing anything special?”
It’s a little hard to say... But then again, it’s not like it’s something I need to hide.
—Every time our eyes meet, the feelings I’ve been hiding waver.
Fingertips drawing closer, feelings intertwining
“I’ve been trying out a light-based hair removal device. Panasonic SmoothEpi Power & Cool ES-WG0B is what it’s called.”
ES-WG0B-H
“SmoothEpi? Is that a French bread?”
Perhaps interested, Ryo took a step closer.
The distance between us closed, and his scent gently brushed against my nose.
“No, no, it’s a hair removal device, but it can be used for VIO areas, and it seems it can also be used for beards.”
“Even for beards?”
He was more interested than I expected. A bit surprising.
“Right, and it even has a 5°C pre-cooling function, so it’s gentle on the skin. I use it on my legs and arms, and it doesn’t hurt at all, plus my skin has become so smooth.”
“...Um, may I check?”
“Huh...?”
Ryo suddenly reached out and gently touched my arm. Just a moment of silence.
His fingertips moved slowly, and every time he traced my skin, my heart beat louder.
His fingertips glided slowly, and I caught my breath. The warmth of his fingers lingered on my skin, and my pulse quickened.
When our eyes met, his gaze was serious, making my heart jump even more.
“Smooth... that’s amazing.”
Even though his tone was casual, for some reason, I felt strangely self-conscious.
“If it’s alright with you, could I try it out at your place, Ayaka?”
“Wait, Ryo, are you serious?”
I was momentarily bewildered by his sudden proposal. But for some reason, I didn’t mind. In fact, I found myself wanting to talk to him a little longer.
"I suppose I have no choice... How about this coming weekend, then?"
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it."
His smile made my heart skip a beat once again.
──The warmth of his fingertips narrows the distance between our hearts.
The heartbeat echoing in the silence of the holiday
"Excuse me for intruding."
On a quiet weekend afternoon, Ryo came over to my room.
He looked a little nervous, but also somehow happy.
"So, shall we try it out right away?"
Panasonic Smooth Epi Power & Cool I took it out and attached the face and body attachment.
When I turned on the power, the cooling function activated, and a slight chill was transmitted to my fingertips.
"Just place it here and press the button."
"...Oh, it's cold. But it doesn't hurt."
Though he was bewildered by his first experience with light-based hair removal, Ryo kept his eyes on the mirror.
"This is nice... Ayaka-san, now I understand why your skin is so beautiful."
"Huh?"
Ryo stares at me intently. His gaze seems to be searching for something deep within my eyes. I desperately try to hide how my heart is racing.
"You're really putting in the effort, aren't you?"
Feeling a bit embarrassed, I instinctively look away.
"I'll work even harder so I don't lose to you, Ryo."
"It's not about winning or losing... Ayaka, you're already wonderful."
Before I knew it, I didn't feel any distance between us anymore.
──In the silence, only our heartbeats reveal the distance between us.
A sweet future beyond the shy smile
──And, two weeks later.
"Ayaka, look, my beard is getting thinner."
"You're right! That's amazing!"
"It's all thanks to this. ...I have to thank you, Ayaka, and the "Panasonic Smooth Epi Power & Cool. As a thank you, I'll treat you to coffee sometime."
Ryo smiles mischievously. The distance between us was already much closer than before.
I felt that the day when this closeness would become the norm was surely just around the corner.
──Was it the Smooth Epi that brought us closer, or was it his kindness?
The night breeze against my cheeks felt pleasant, and I glanced over at him.
Ryo was looking up at the night sky in the same way, smiling faintly.
Our footsteps fell into a natural rhythm.
The moment his shoulder brushed against mine, I felt like something had changed.
Under the streetlights, our shadows melted into one.
Thank you for reading. Let's meet again next time!
