Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You Chapter 53

Sasaki finds Tayama waiting behind the supermarket, and they end up walking together under the rain while sharing lighthearted conversation. Tayama gently teases Sasaki about his tendency to overwork and worry for others, while also sharing her own quiet dreams of owning a car to visit ramen shops. As they reach a shelter, Tayama insists on letting Sasaki take her umbrella to avoid getting soaked. Once alone inside, Tayama collapses in embarrassment and exhaustion, overwhelmed by the intense emotions of keeping her secret identity hidden.
