Fondness for Honey Melt

Oomori works in the product development department of a coffee chain, where his daily routine is overshadowed by constant friction with Tsutsumi, a colleague from the marketing division. Convinced that the stoic and reserved Tsutsumi harbors a particular animosity toward him, Oomori frequently vents his frustrations to his coworkers. His professional life takes an unexpected turn when, while struggling to formulate a new beverage, he stumbles upon a mysterious jar of honey. Deciding to incorporate it into a latte recipe, he discovers the result is remarkably delicious and highly likely to earn corporate approval. Eager to move forward, Oomori immediately submits the drink for internal tasting. However, the moment Tsutsumi takes a sip, something extraordinary happens: Oomori suddenly begins hearing the other man's inner thoughts. Instead of the hostility he had always imagined, the voice inside Tsutsumi's mind reveals a startling truth. Far from despising him, Tsutsumi is quietly consumed by anxiety, deeply worried that his own demeanor might be causing Oomori to hate him. This sudden telepathic revelation forces Oomori to completely reconsider everything he thought he knew about their tense workplace dynamic.
