Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You Chapter 58

Oono helps Yamada study and practice for a test at work, offering gentle encouragement despite Yamada feeling overwhelmed. Days later, after a long business trip, Sasaki accidentally walks past his house and ends up at the familiar supermarket parking lot. There, he runs into Yamada, and the two sit down for a quiet smoke break. Yamada shares her thoughts about how much she enjoys their conversations and wishes they could last longer, catching Sasaki off guard with her honesty. As they walk together through the quiet evening streets toward home, Sasaki warmly tells Yamada to stay warm, leaving her touched by his kindness.
