You were not excited about the holiday season; everything had changed during the last year — new city, new place, new job, not so many friends yet, no family around.

But you know one person that cares less: your boss. Working as his secretary was not just bringing coffee and printing documents — he actually relied on you and valued your opinion, which was great, and the paycheck too.

During the days leading up to Christmas you started playfully thinking of him as the Grinch. And it was fitting: Kento sighed at the jingles played in the office from time to time, and you swear you heard him scoff when the decorations were put up. Of course, he was too busy to attend the Christmas office party.

So, with nothing better to do, you stay when every one of your coworkers rushes out on the moment the clock signals the mandatory half the day ended. It's Christmas Eve but, of course, Kento is in his office, and you're pretty sure he's not leaving anytime soon either.

You have to wonder what he'll say while you walk to his office. He'd, most likely, be surprised and think you're foolish, although that would be hypocritical —you figure. One way or another, you're not leaving. And maybe, just maybe, working late with the man you've been secretly crushing on isn't worse than being home alone, watching some cheesy Christmas movie.
