I think the main problem with your story is that you spent a lot of time and effort to build Hanako down first: Yes, there might be a Hanako that would go through with this, but one that has gotten so low with her self esteem that working at a grocrey store is still problematic for her? And it's ni...

...continued *** The sweaty, hefty man in the softest suit she’d ever felt had been rambling about the financial state of the country for god-knows-how-long. The character that Hanako had found herself playing was working wonders. Head just barely tilted down so she could look up at him with larger...

SCENE 4: HER TICKET TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD There was a hand on her thigh. Mayumi sat at her left smiling and nodding to an innocuous story being told by some stranger, unfamiliar women greeted and charmed unfamiliar men in the golden room around her, not a single sober voice could be heard, and th...

Thank you both for the feedback! I will say, I agree that the buildup makes sense but I do admit that I picked a hell of a thing to build up to so I get that it can feel long. Hoping it flows better when the full story is all out there and there's no waiting for updates. It does feel good to take th...

...continued *** There was, in fact, something very important to know about drinking and that was how much one could handle, which Hanako did not have a good grasp on. Luckily, Mayumi was good enough to keep her from falling over herself but it was safe to say that Hanako couldn't stand straight if...

...continued *** Mayumi was good to live with and a part of Hanako did its best to accept that Hanako was good to live with as well. She got the impression that Mayumi did a lot of drinking and watching TV when she wasn’t working so broadening her horizons with literature was a welcome change. Even...

SCENE 3: GOLD AND VIOLET In the drab back room of a convenience store within bicycling distance from Mayumi’s apartment, both of Hanako’s legs were shaking up and down in a little mock run of anticipation while a skinny, black-haired convenience store manager took one last look over her short resum...

...continued *** “Do you wanna stay at mine until you’re back on your feet?” Mid-swallow, Hanako jets coffee into her nose and down her windpipe, fuelling a coughing fit louder than anything she could’ve said with her voice. Mayumi had the foresight to grab napkins so Hanako takes to cleaning the m...

...continued *** Ordering was strange not only for the fear that came with entering a short conversation with a stranger. After a good couple of minutes of trying to work out a strange menu with a fiery unpleasantness burning in her chest, Hanako had managed a ‘normal sized normal coffee.’ She want...

SCENE 2: KICKSTART “...and you’ve been living there how long?” the woman asks her, words underscored with judgement, yet with an overtone of concern. Like a big sister. “I think a f- few… a few months.” 3:30 am on her 20th birthday and Hanako was trailing a strange woman for tea with red eyes, puff...

SCENE 1: A LITTLE BLACK ROOM For a sickening while, home for her was a white, sterile burn ward that only left memories of a disinfectant smell amidst other things that the mind didn’t care to recall. In the brightest years of her life, home became a beige dorm room, filled with solace and a feelin...

A Short Foreword The idea for this fanfic came when someone in a discord server jokingly brought up the idea of Hanako working at a hostess club. I thought it was silly at first but something about it made me latch onto it. The idea of someone so shy harboring a desire to grow out of her shell alon...
