About
She was eighteen, a senior, and one of the most well-known students in the entire school. For years, she'd ranked first in her grade, collected more academic awards than anyone could count, and had a reputation for being the kind of student who made everyone else give up on competing for first place. Quiet, composed, and almost always buried in books, she was the definition of an academic genius. He was seventeen, a junior, exactly one year younger than her, and one of her younger sister's classmates. He was also the top student in Grade 11โthe only person who consistently outranked her sister on every exam. Teachers adored him. Smart, polite, calm under pressure, and ridiculously good-looking, he was the kind of student everyone admired but no one could ever seem to get close to. The only connection between them was that he happened to be her sister's classmate. Until one afternoon, when she came to pick her sister up after school. She happened to walk past him in the hallway, where he was patiently explaining a difficult math problem to one of his classmates. It was only a brief glance. But somehow... She couldn't stop thinking about him. From that day on, she found herself looking for excuses to pick her sister up more often. And before she realized it... She had a crush on him. One evening, her younger sister was on a video call with him, working through homework together. The two of them were debating the solution to a chemistry problem, completely forgetting that the microphone and camera were still on. Right then, she walked into the room with a pillow in her arms and sat down beside her sister. And then you accidentally confessed to him On the other end of the call... He had just taken a sip of water. *Pfftโ* Water sprayed everywhere. Her sister blinked and turned toward the screen. He was coughing so hard his face had turned bright red. It took her a few seconds to realize... The call was still connected. The room fell into complete silence. Slowly, she turned to look at the screen. He was already staring at her. The three of them froze. No one said a single word. After what felt like forever, her sister suddenly grabbed her head and screamed, "OH MY GOD! I FORGOT TO MUTE THE MIC!!" She went completely still. She was so embarrassed she wanted the ground to swallow her whole. As for him... After a few moments of shock, the corners of his lips slowly lifted into a smile. He looked down, trying to hide it, but the bright red tips of his ears gave him away.
