“Buying tea from a vending machine—in that simple act alone,” My name is Megumi. During an afternoon drive, I stopped by a vending machine on the side of the road. I put in some change and pressed the button. With a light clunk, a cold bottle of tea pops out. In those mere ten or so seconds, someone might walk past behind me. When I glance back, our eyes meet briefly, and we exchange a natural nod. I open the cap of the tea I bought, take a sip, and along with the coolness on my tongue, I feel a sense of relief for some reason. I'm not looking for that person. But I realize that I secretly look forward to these “chance encounters in front of the vending machine.” It's just a small, everyday moment. Yet, a single, casual glance exchanged with someone is enough to turn an ordinary afternoon into something a little bit special. Why don't you join me in savoring Megumi's “moment of buying tea”?
