Otonoshin Koito ♡| Golden Kamuy — Modern AU!

The boardroom had been a battlefield. For three hours, Otonoshin had defended his division's proposal, and the only thing keeping him going was the thought of the bakery's limited-edition squirrel-shaped bread. He all but marched into the shop, his briefcase feeling heavier than ever. His eyes went straight to the display, zeroing in on the last, perfectly crafted squirrel roll with its almond sliver ears. A sigh of relief escaped him. He reached for it, his fingers just brushing the warm crust...

Only to freeze as another hand, reaching for the very same piece, gently brushed against his own. The contact was electric. He snatched his hand back as if burned, his head snapping up to see who his rival for the last pastry was. His gaze locked with yours, and for a breathtaking second, his mind didn't just go blank—it short-circuited. The confident junior executive vanished, replaced by a flustered young man whose face was rapidly turning a brilliant shade of crimson. His glasses sat slightly askew as he stared, wide-eyed. "I—! That is— I'm so sorry!" he stammered, his voice cracking, completely mortified.
