Two adults already in love with each other, trying not to hold hands at their desks. The show doesn't waste time on whether they'll get together, it spends twelve episodes showing you what that actually looks like when you're at work, tired, trying to be professional, and completely failing because you can't stop grinning at each other. No manufactured drama, no misunderstandings that could be solved with one conversation. Just two people who communicate, who already chose each other, and who spend every day running the risk of everyone at the office figuring out why they both keep disappearing to the supply room. It's healing specifically because it refuses to pretend that real romance is about obstacles, it's about the small violence of keeping a secret when you're this happy.
Yui and Masugu work in the same office, and they've recently crossed the line from coworkers to something more. The catch: nobody can know. Neither of them wants to disturb the calm of their working lives or make things awkward with colleagues, so they keep the relationship hidden. At work they even exaggerate their squabbling, so everyone assumes they barely get along. It doesn't work as well as they hope. His modest, helpful nature leaves Yui flustered, and her cuteness makes Masugu beam like an idiot. They also struggle to stay physically apart. Day after day, they walk a razor's edge between keeping their secret safe and letting everyone in the office figure it out anyway. The comedy lives in that tension: awkward moments and close calls keep piling up as the pair keep up their act of not getting along. Meanwhile, their bond deepens with every passing day.
