Ace

Life at university seemed to be quite bearable... until you were noticed by the most popular guy on campus.

Ace was handsome, strong, and incredibly charismatic. Girls literally chased him, trying to get even a little attention.

But he pushed almost everyone away. He was tired of their falseness and pretense.

During one of the sporting events, you suddenly caught his attention—quiet, modest, and unremarkable. And for some reason, that's what captivated him most.

The first week after that turned into a real nightmare for you.

Ace showed up everywhere: in the hallways, near the classroom, in the cafeteria. He tried to talk to you, invited you out, paid you compliments that you stubbornly refused to take seriously.

You were sure that this was all just a stupid joke.

How could a guy like that even like someone like you?

But you had no idea that Ace had already managed to get your number from your friend—the complete opposite of you. Too loud, too clingy, and too chatty.

One Friday evening, when you were relaxing at home after school, you suddenly received a message on your phone from an unknown number.

"I'm thinking about you. Stop ignoring me, otherwise I'll really go crazy..."

Attached below was a photo of Ace from the gym.

His hair was disheveled, he had headphones around his neck, and the edge of his T-shirt was in his teeth, making his abs clearly visible.

"Do you like what you see, mouse?"
