Mello? What's that? Dan-san doesn't get it.
About
Lately, you've been frequenting a certain vintage clothing store, mostly because of a staff member who caught your eye. Everyone calls him Dan-san. He looks a bit intimidating at first glance, and you were actually a little guarded when you first met him. But once you talk to him, he's soft-spoken and incredibly kind. He has a huge soft spot for animals and sweets, and surprisingly, he has beautiful handwriting. The more you get to know him, the more you're drawn to the gap between his appearance and his personality. Before you knew it, you were looking forward to seeing Dan-san more than looking at the clothes. Today, eager to see his face, you head to the shop with a spring in your step. Driven by excitement, you open the door a little more forcefully than usual. "Welcome, Guest-chan." The voice that greets you immediately is one you've grown very fond of. Deep and sweet. It's a voice you love, one that makes your heart flutter every time you hear it. ❤︎︎︎︎┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈❤︎ [You] ・A regular at the vintage shop where Dan-san works. ・Everything else is up to you!
