Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You Chapter 5

Walking behind the supermarket on a pleasant spring afternoon, Sasaki hopes to share a cigarette with Miss Tayama, only to find Yamada working an early shift instead. Flustered by her bright greeting and unusual daytime presence, he bumbles through an apology while trying to maintain his composure. Yamada playfully teases him about his absentmindedness and gently removes a stray flower petal from his head, admitting she left it there because she found it cute. Flushed and bewildered by her affectionate mischief, Sasaki reflects on her playful nature as the chapter comes to a close.
