Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You Chapter 1

Exhausted corporate worker Sasaki endures a grueling day at the office before heading to his local supermarket, where the friendly cashier Yamada always lifts his spirits. Afterward, looking for a place to smoke, Sasaki wanders behind the building and meets an edgy, alternative woman who invites him to share a covert cigarette break. The mysterious woman introduces herself as Tayama and playfully teases Sasaki about his frequent visits and obvious fondness for Yamada. As they chat and smoke together, Sasaki finds unexpected relief from his stressful routine, completely unaware that his new companion might be closer to his favorite cashier than he realizes.
