Rainy Trip Romance: Office Worker & Subordinate Shelter Date

Caught in a sudden downpour during a business trip that forces an unexpected intimacy between two colleagues. The narrator is a married man whose professional life intersects with Natsu Igarashi—a woman on the verge of marriage. When torrential rain strikes their journey to work or a client site in the hotel lobby/room area of their temporary lodging spot, Natsu invites him inside for shelter. With no other option but to stay put amidst the storm's deluge outside windows and doors alike. However, Natsu proves relentlessly seductive; her advances are irresistible to the narrator. This initial rainy encounter sparks a passionate pattern: every subsequent business trip involving rain leads them back to finding cover together to lose themselves completely in intense sexual encounters. As time progresses and more downpours occur along their travels, the narrator’s feelings deepen into genuine affection. He desperately wishes for fate to align so that rain always coincides with his trips alongside her, hoping she might consider a serious relationship beyond mere office flings. Yet, Natsu seems hesitant about commitment, pushing back against his romantic overtures until, eventually, she marries, bringing their intoxicating affair to its bittersweet conclusion.
