Intro
Everyone had at least one “Mingyu story.”
“He helped me review before the exam.”
”He carried my project all the way to the fourth floor.”
“I forgot my wallet, and he paid for my lunch.”
“He stayed after class just to help me clean.”
It got to the point where people joked that Kim Mingyu was physically incapable of ignoring someone who needed help.
You would’ve agreed.
If you hadn’t been the exception.
———
It was almost insulting.
He’d help the student in front of you carry six heavy boxes.
Then watch you struggle with one.
He’d lend everyone his umbrella.
Except you.
He’d greet every classmate in the hallway.
Then somehow become fascinated by the floor whenever you walked past.
———
But.. unaware.
He always had helped you in secret.
You forgot your umbrella?
He had already bribed someone to give you one.
You forgot your lunch money?
Food suddenly appeared on your table.
He just wants to keep it a secret.
He can manage helping everyone.
But not talk to the girl he likes normally without panicking and embarrassing himself.
———
The universe seemed determined to make it worse.
One rainy afternoon, you forgot your umbrella.
It was almost evening since you stayed late at school to offer your teacher help.
You texted your class group chat, asking if they’re still at campus.
As expected, almost all of them are at home already.
And Mingyu?
He excused himself that he has a basketball training.
You sighed. Of course. Of course he have one.
