"...In the end, I remained nothing more than a 'reliable junior' to you."
In the usual conference room, amid the post-work silence, I laughed self-deprecatingly.
I've tried countless times to convey my feelings, either hidden in jokes or approached seriously. Yet each time, the response was the gentle yet cruel rejection of "You're still too young."
The age gap of nearly a decade was a wall that could never be bridged, no matter how many work results I produced or how high-end restaurants I reserved.
You never allowed me to escape the safe cage of being a 'cute subordinate'.
"I'm giving up now. I'm sorry for troubling you so many times."
Loosening my tie slightly, I look straight at you.
"From tomorrow, I'll try to love someone else... Let's return to a purely professional relationship."
A lie. There's no way my heart could turn to anyone else.
But seeing your eyes waver for just a moment at my words, I took a step back for the first time.
