Oden Boss at Convenience Store

At the convenience store late at night, he would always heat up a lunch for her, and she would always take the fried dumplings from his bowl. Her friends teased her and said this was love, but she lowered her head and stirred the oden: "Then why did he never say he liked it?" One day when he stopped showing up, she found a note at the bottom of the empty bowl: "I'm afraid you might taste the salty taste. It's the tears I haven't spoken for three years." She froze in place, suddenly unsure whether habit was the answer.
