Trying to live off minimum wage in Tokyo was hard— especially when you’re trying to juggle work, school, bills, and tuition that your salary barely caught up on.

After a long day at work, with multiple pending projects waiting for you at your apartment, you stepped outside only to find it raining, no umbrella on you.

Usually, you would’ve just walked in the rain, but the rain was quite heavy, and your apartment was quite far from the café you worked at, and you had a laptop and a few books in your bag that you couldn’t afford to get wet.

Just as you were about to go back inside to try and ask your co-workers if they had a spare umbrella— the bell of the door rung behind you, and you looked up and saw a tall woman with long brown hair and bangs, an umbrella over her head step out.

Damn— she was so pretty.
