I became a girl group idol for my sister.

Nanami Hatsune looked at the gift she had bought, stared at it for a long time, and finally sighed, "I guess I'll just forget about it."

Feeling a little guilty, she glanced to the other side, only to find Nanami Oda looking in her direction. She immediately turned her gaze away and took out the item. Then she began to open it: "Take this opportunity to destroy the evidence; we can't leave any behind..."

"Eh?! Wait a minute, is this a gift for me?!" Nanami Oda immediately ran over, looking at the cake in Nanami Hase's hand with surprise and delight.

Nanami Hanase quickly shook her head: "No, no. I just suddenly wanted to eat cake!"

"Is...is that so?" Nanami Oda suddenly seemed a little disappointed, her voice even lowered: "Yes, I'm sorry, I was just being presumptuous!"

This left Nanami Hatsune even more at a loss for words. She had originally intended to buy it for the other person, but now, in this situation, it had become impossible to give it away.

She desperately wanted to clarify things with the other person, but she couldn't find the words. In the end, she could only open the box completely, pick up a piece of cake with a fork, and put it in her mouth.

"Ah, wait!"

Oda Nanami quickly reached out and pulled back the hair by Hanase Nanami's ear, which made Hanase Nanami look at her in surprise, wondering what she meant. Was she planning to steal the food?

If you're planning to steal it, it seems like you're also giving the other party an opportunity.

"Ah, sorry, I thought the cream was going to stick to my hair!" Nanami Oda immediately took a step back. "Sorry, I'll control myself, I won't be impulsive or reckless, and I'll keep my distance!"

"Maintain a sense of distance?" Nanami Hanase repeated, somewhat puzzled.

“That’s right, maintaining a sense of distance is very important!” Nanami Oda said, smiling and giving a slight bow. “So please continue to enjoy your lunch!”

After she finished speaking, she turned and left, returning to her dining table. The smile that had been on Oda Nanami's face, who was facing away from Hase Nanami, vanished, and she slowly exhaled.

Nanami Hanase frowned: "Maintain a sense of distance?"

She muttered to herself, then shoved the cake off her fork into her mouth and chewed it fiercely, as if she were venting something.

In the afternoon, Nanami Hasegawa was walking towards her office with some documents in her hand when she suddenly heard that familiar voice coming from the conference room as she passed by.

"how's it going?"

"You mean to give Oda-san a gift?"

"Yup!"

This conversation made Nanami Hase immediately lean against the wall of the conference room; she wanted to hear what was being said inside.

Inside were a man and a woman. The man was Gao Guangjian, and the woman was a classmate of Gao Guangjian. They were good friends.

"She was very happy."

"It's not just that, is it? The most important thing is confessing to Oda-san!" the woman asked. "Did you tell her you like her?"

"You're being too loud!" Gao Guangjian quickly stopped the other person.

"Seriously, there's no need to hide it anymore. The answer is written all over your face. You definitely told me, so what was the result?"

Gao Guangjian did not answer immediately, but instead walked over and closed the door, cutting off the sound inside. However, this only made Hanase Nanami's mind more confused.

"I've decided to give up."

"It means I'm giving up on Nanami-san. My actions have caused Nanami-san a lot of trouble, so please feel free to continue working happily here. I'll just be an ordinary junior to you!"

Oda Nanami's words echoed in Hase Nanami's mind once again.

She lowered her head, staring at the ground, and muttered to herself, "What exactly is a sense of distance?!"

The voice sounded like a complaint.

It was already dark, but the company was very busy today, with many people still working overtime.

Nanami Hasegawa was working on her laptop when she heard that familiar voice in her ear.

"Well, this design definitely looks better."

"This one? It's really good. I understand. I'll do it this way."

The girl who usually liked to fawn over him was talking to Gao Guangjian, and both of them had smiles on their faces.

"Those two seem to have a really good relationship." Matsushita Ninosuke's voice came from behind Nanami Hase: "They don't seem to have any distance between them."

This made Nanami Hatsune's eyes widen instantly. She looked at the two people, and the words that Nanami Oda had said to her flashed through her mind.

Maintain a sense of distance!

"Hase, can you come with me for a moment?"

"What?!" Nanami Hatsune looked at her section chief, her expression full of impatience.

"Excuse me, are you alright?!" Matsushita Ninosuke was startled by Hanase Nanami's expression and immediately took a step back: "Are you busy? Or are you just really busy?"

As if trying to appease Nanami Hase's anger and thus create an opportunity for himself to escape, Matsushita Ninosuke asked.

Meanwhile, Oda Nanami, who had finished her discussion, returned to her seat. She heard Matsushita Ninosuke's words and couldn't help but look at Hase Nanami. Hase Nanami noticed the other's gaze and felt a surge of anger. She immediately said, "It's perfectly fine!"

"That's great!"

Oda Nanami watched as Hase Nanami and Matsushita Ninosuke left, somewhat confused, while she could still hear the words Matsushita Ninosuke and Hase Nanami had spoken.

"Hase-san, shouldn't you drink more milk to get some calcium?"

“That’s absolutely not necessary!”

"Really? But your foot is stomping really hard."

……

Time passed slowly, and now only two people remained in the office, sharing a desk, with each person occupying exactly half of the space.

Nanami Hase and Nanami Oda.

The two looked at each other, but only out of the corner of their eyes, and said nothing.

The atmosphere was very subtle.

Nanami Hatsune glanced at her cup and found an excuse.

She stood up with her cup: "I'll go make some coffee."

Nanami Oda immediately got up as well.

"I'll go get some coffee too!"

This made Nanami Hatsune sit down again: "Then I won't go."

So, Nanami Oda sat down too: "I'm not going either."

This action made Nanami Haze frown, and she picked up her cup and walked over there: "I guess I'll just go get some coffee!"

As Nanami Oda watched Hanase Nanami leave, she was completely at a loss for what to do. After hesitating for a moment, she immediately chased after her.

Chapter Fifty-Four, Second of the Year

"Hase-senpai! Wait a minute!"

But Nanami Hase didn't stop, and Nanami Oda ran after her, saying, "Senpai, are you angry?!"

"I'm not angry!"

“You really are angry!” Oda Nanami ran up to the other person and looked at Hase Nanami’s face, her tone even more certain.

Why should I be angry?!

"He's clearly angry!"

Nanami Hase stopped in her tracks, took a deep breath, and exuded an unpleasant aura.

"What exactly is the sense of distance?!"

"A sense of distance?"

"Yeah, what exactly is 'distance'? What exactly is the gift?!" Nanami Hatsune said, her tone clearly out of control, her emotions also visibly flaring up: "And your feelings for him..."

But she realized at this point that she couldn't continue.

"What am I thinking?! How could I... care about these things?!"

She lowered her head, questioning the other person, questioning herself, and questioning herself most of all.

Looking at Nanami Hase like this, Nanami Oda's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Hase-senpai, are you jealous?"

Nanami Hasegawa was stunned. She glanced cautiously at Nanami Oda, then shook her head violently: "That doesn't count! What I just said doesn't count!"

She walked to the side and sat down, but she was a little afraid to look at the other person.

After thinking for a moment, Nanami Oda cautiously moved closer and sat down next to her.

"I have so many questions in my mind, so I don't know if this is the right answer you're looking for?"

Nanami Haze listened silently, waiting for the correct answer the other person would give.

"The only person I care about and love is you, Nanami-senpai!"

Upon hearing this, Nanami lowered her head even further, biting her lip hard, unsure of what to say.

But clearly, I felt happy, an indescribable happiness.

Oda Nanami looked down at the other person's face, cautious and afraid.

"Wrong answer?"
