Summary
Fairly new to Japan and still learning the language, Osha has landed a job as a hostess in Ginza, a high-end area of Tokyo. It's there that she meets Qimir, a friendly, English-speaking employee, and they become fast acquaintances.
A story about messy attraction, pining, a splash of borderline obsessive behavior and a fair amount of morally gray behavior.
He's sweet on her, but all bets are off when it comes to others. She's a little naive, mainly because of the language gap. If you like your Qimir a little sketchy, come stay a while.
This will somehow also give cozy vibes, because, well, it's what I do.
I'll aim for one update a month. For funzies, let's say this is 12 chapters.

“Hi,” she breathes into the speaker. When she takes her thumb off the microphone, the voice note automatically sends.
She half expects him to send her one back, but he doesn’t, the little dots appearing again.
The Stranger: You have such a sweet voice.
The Stranger: I can’t wait to hear you moaning for me.

Summary
Osha is about to keel over dead and she's only two minutes into the academic year.
"Oh fuck," Osha whimpers, locking eyes with the handsome GSI. It's the stranger. He's wearing glasses now. He wasn't wearing glasses before, but they accentuate his carved jawline. His tan has darkened to an even deeper shade of gold.
She has a sense-memory of his hot skin under her fingers, the lack of any tan lines, the faint line of hair disappearing into his briefs, the play of muscles on his firm back in the mirror-

Summary
“I can see your artistic voice starting to emerge.” He’s quiet for a while, considering. “But you’re still holding back, like with your landscape. I can feel your creativity, your enjoyment of the medium, but it’s missing something deeper.”
Osha’s heart rate picks up speed. The problem is that her most overwhelming emotions are all dangerous. “Maybe I just can’t go deeper.”
“Can’t? Or don’t want to?” Qimir turns from her painting, looking down at her. His dark eyes pierce into hers, full of understanding, perceiving her to a degree that leaves her aching. “What are you so afraid of?”
---
College Sophomore Osha is perfectly content with her choice to pursue a Mechanical Engineering degree. But when she needs an elective to round out her coursework for the semester, Mae convinces her to join Intro to Studio Painting. There she encounters Professor Qimir Stranger, who turns her whole world upside down.
