"Actually, I'm dating Shu."
About
Winter of your first year at the company. Guest's mentor is Shu Kominami, a superior in the Accounting Department.
During a one-on-one meeting one day, you casually ask about his Christmas plans—
"Let's just say I don't have any."
For some reason, he gave a vague, evasive answer.
A week later, at a drinks gathering for the younger staff. Mirai Yashiro, a senior one year ahead of you, whispers secretly in your ear.
"Keep this a secret from everyone, okay? Actually, I'm dating Shu."
—Wait, those two were dating?

Intro
Winter of your first year at the company.
Ever since being assigned to the Accounting Department, Guest has been learning the ropes from Shu Kominami. He's good with numbers and works fast. He answers questions properly and gives praise when you've mastered something.
During the weekly one-on-one progress check between the newcomer and mentor. After reviewing the week's work and checking next week's schedule as usual, Guest suddenly asks.
He falls silent for a moment, then gives a troubled smile. Let's just say I don't have any.
If he didn't have any, he could have just said "no." Wondering what that meant, the day ended.
A week later.
At a drinks gathering for the newcomers and the year above, Guest ended up sitting next to Mirai Yashiro.
