Putting down the phone, Nakamori Akina opened the desk drawer and found the paper prepared for making peacock origami. It was just past eight-thirty, so it was not too late.
However, it is a bit exaggerated to think that we have just met and now we have to see each other again.
She put the paper into her bag, and before setting off, she felt a little worried. She opened the origami tool book, turned to the section about making a peacock, and quickly browsed and reviewed it.
He looked like an inexperienced teacher.
On New Year's Day, when Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned origami teaching on the phone, Akina Nakamori was still undecided. She didn't know how to face him, so she subconsciously used the worst method, thinking that she wanted to say "see you next time"
Time is delayed.
Unexpectedly, only one day later, she met Okada Yukiko because of him. After sending Okada Yukiko off, she didn't expect Iwahashi Shinichi to greet her on the way home.
When I dialed the phone back, I never imagined that I would meet him for the second time on the same day in order to fulfill this origami teaching lesson.
During the phone call just now, Iwahashi Shinichi came to the rescue for her gaffe, and she once again received his careful attention.
Akina Nakamori followed his rhythm, listened to him talk about peacock origami, and talked to him about work. Unconsciously, her heart relaxed. The emotions that had been surging in her chest all night and almost burned her were also chatting with him.
It gradually calmed down as we reached the sky.
Then, she suddenly realized the purpose of Shinichi Iwahashi's call, and also realized one thing: all her gaffes tonight were discovered by him.
This sudden phone call was Shinichi Iwahashi's calm concern.
Akina Nakamori felt embarrassed when she was discovered. However, she realized from Iwahashi Shinichi's actions that the courage this man gave her was never more than the words "see you next time" when saying goodbye.
Tonight, Iwahashi Shinichi's "see you next time" gave her some kind of courage.
But when she said goodbye, Nakamori Akina didn't know how long this courage would last. It had been rumbling in her chest all night. If she didn't express her displeasure, it would still burn her like this tomorrow. It was unbearable for her and she wanted to die.
Is it quick to vomit?
However, Shinichi Iwahashi called specifically because he noticed her gaffe tonight.
Akina Nakamori suddenly realized that as long as the line of contact with him was not broken, she would always be cared for by his gentleness and consideration.
As long as you don't push him away from now on, as long as you still have the wish to "see you next time" with him, you will always be attracted to him the next time you meet, and you will always say "see you next time" when you meet him next time.
"I don't feel happy if I don't vomit."
Even if the courage tonight will dissipate tomorrow, the boiling chest will calm down again the next day.
But as long as she kept in touch with him, those unpleasant words would still surge in her chest and burn her until she poured them out.
I would rather be burned by the words I wanted to say but couldn't say than push him far away from now on.
So, what else can’t be understood?
See you next time next time...
Nakamori Akina suddenly asked him, "Does Shinichi-kun have any plans now?"
On the other end of the phone, Iwahashi Shinichi paused and answered her, "No."
"I have no arrangements now."
Nakamori Akina's emotions that had gradually calmed down gradually began to surge in her chest again, but they were not as hot as they were at the beginning, so hot that she could not speak.
"How about we meet now and teach you how to fold?" After saying this, she closed her mouth and waited for him.
"Okay." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
After making an appointment at the meeting place, Akina Nakamori put down the receiver and breathed a sigh of relief. She took the paper, walked out of the house, and got into the car.
When will the next time we meet again? When someone takes the first step.
…
Shinichi Iwahashi's residence is not far from Genzo's new office in Yoyogi.
After hanging up the phone from Akina Nakamori, he packed up and went out. After a while, he parked the car in a nearby parking lot.
The location of the building is quite easy to find, but I don’t have to worry about Akina Nakamori finding the wrong place when she comes here for the first time.
Standing downstairs and looking up, through the light of the street lamp, you can see the slender sign hanging by the window on the third floor with the name of the production company written on it.
Just now on the phone, the two agreed to meet in Gnezo's office.
When I go out with someone late at night, I don't go to a bar, club, or coffee shop, but I come to the office where I work. This place is quite strange.
However, Akina Nakamori deserves a lot of credit for choosing a place like this.
Iwahashi Shinichi was concerned about her abnormal behavior recently and called her specifically. Unexpectedly, while they were chatting, she said on the phone that they would meet now to teach origami.
Taopusida, who had been hesitating all night, suddenly took the initiative, which surprised him a little. Then, he subconsciously thought of the direct gaze she gave him when she said goodbye to him, who had been avoiding him all night.
He had a hunch that in addition to teaching origami, he might also be able to hear the reason why Akina Nakamori was acting abnormally these days.
However, when they agreed to meet, Akina Nakamori was unwilling to meet at a coffee shop or the like. Shinichi Iwahashi guessed that she had returned home and then gone out at night, fearing that reporters would follow her.
The annual New Year holiday is a perfect time for reporters to stay in town. After all, celebrities and entertainers also have to take annual leave to celebrate the New Year, go to a shrine to pay their respects and draw lots, and maybe go home to meet their parents.
It's understandable, but it feels a bit baffling.
After all, Akina Nakamori had no concerns about this when they agreed to meet previously.
However, since Nakamori Akina said so, Iwahashi Shinichi will follow her wishes. Otherwise, if he is really photographed and causes trouble for her, Mr. Nozaki from Kenyin may have to come to him personally to settle the score.
Shinichi Iwahashi thought about it for a while, and finally suggested that he come to the new office of his production company.
When the record company was established, Shinichi Iwahashi had some extra money, so he planned to move Genzo's office from Kawasaki to Tokyo, so that everything would be convenient.
In late November last year, through the help of Imai from Kanzaki Real Estate, we identified the current building. The third floor of the building was all vacant, and Genzo rented four of the offices.
After the office decoration was completed, things were moved over from Kawasaki one after another. After the New Year holiday, Genzo employees officially started working here.
Compared with Kawasaki's slender building, this is a big step forward.
Before going upstairs, Shinichi Iwahashi thought that the office hadn't been used yet, so he walked into the convenience store downstairs. He didn't know what Akina Nakamori drank, so he grabbed a few bottles of various kinds.
After waiting for a while, I heard the sound of someone coming upstairs.
Then, there was a knock on the door.
Shinichi Iwahashi opened the door, and Akina Nakamori stood in front of him, wearing the same baseball cap she wore when eating tonight.
"Good evening." She raised her head and looked at him.
