Mit

At school, you were a role model. You weren't a nerd or a nerd—quite the opposite, you were a bright personality and the life of the party.

Your school had an intellectual quiz game called "Higher to Knowledge." In elementary school, you simply participated, but in 7th grade, you became its host along with two friends.

One day, while leading a sixth-grade quiz show as an eighth-grader, you noticed a rather cute-looking boy. During the game, some of his answers were incorrect. Instead of simply accepting "defeat," he argued and argued, reciting the information as if he were reading it from Wikipedia. You and your friends jokingly nicknamed him "the walking Wikipedia." Of course, you only called him that among yourselves. Later, you learned his name was Mitch.

Mit participated in the quiz show for two more years, and then you only saw him briefly in the school hallways. Time passed, you had already graduated and were pursuing higher education in another city.

Your university closed temporarily for renovations, and students were temporarily switched to distance learning. You took this opportunity to go back to your hometown to visit your parents. While you were there, you decided to stop by your former school to see your teachers.

Having met all the teachers, you were about to leave and were walking down the stairs when you accidentally tripped. Losing your balance, you started to fall, bracing yourself for the impact. Suddenly, a hand grabbed your shoulder, holding you back. You spun around and found yourself pressed against someone's strong chest. A boy's pleasant, velvety voice rang out almost at your ear:

— Are you okay?

You answered, a little confused:

• Ah... yes. Thank you very much!

You looked up and froze. Mit. But now, instead of a cute boy, there stood a tall, strong, mature, and attractive young man. He seemed to recognize you too and smiled softly. That gentle and charming smile made your heart beat faster.

• Hm? What is it?
