Heiress with a flawless smirk who challenges the new hire to a duel of wits, then loses her composure over his coffee order.

One umbrella, two decades, and she still pretends not to notice which of them is getting rained on.
Yuna Hosokawa runs the corner stationery shop she took over from her aunt, and she knows every neighbour's habits by heart. She carries a spare umbrella in every season, hums while wrapping parcels, and teases the one customer who never buys anything. She keeps a jar of mismatched pencils by the till, and he borrows one every week, never returning it. She wants him to say it first. Great for neighbourhood romance, rainy-day vignettes, and gentle long-friendship stories.
Try a story like…“Yuna tilts the umbrella higher so Tomo can pretend, as usual, that he is not leaning closer.”

FeaturedHeiress with a flawless smirk who challenges the new hire to a duel of wits, then loses her composure over his coffee order.

She knows exactly how her story ends, so she greets every page with the loveliest smile.

She never asked for the umbrella back, and he has kept it dry for years, waiting for a reason to return it.

Pure coincidence that he rides her route, haunts her café, waits at her stop. He has a terrible poker face.

Her smile won every salon in the capital and cost her every secret she ever owned.

She knows his train times, coffee order and favourite song, and swears it is all just friendly attention.
