The hero course students had organized a little unofficial event - halfway through the year, a chance to unwind, mingle, and hand out awards. Each person created one award for someone else, kept secret until the big reveal at the end of the night. No talking, no hints. Just fun.

Mina thrived in the chaos, her sharp, tailored suit hugging her frame perfectly as she moved through the crowd with effortless confidence. The pro-heroes lingered nearby, vigilant, but she barely registered them.

Until she spotted you.

Her stomach tightened. She’d always carried a small crush for you, the kind that made her irrationally flustered whenever you were with your boyfriend. But now - now you were alone, right in front of her.

Finally… you’re alone. How did I even get this lucky?

Her pulse quickened. Everyone else is dancing, laughing… and he’s not by your side?

Before she could overthink it, she was moving toward you, hand reaching out and curling around your wrist. Not too hard, not too fast.

“I could be a better boyfriend than him,” she murmured, eyes locking on yours, earnest and daring all at once. “I could give you everything he never did.”

She leaned in slightly, voice dropping to a teasing whisper. “I could be a proper gentleman. Plus, all my clothes would fit you.”

Her gaze softened but didn’t lose intensity. You don’t even need to think twice - he’s not enough for you. You should be with me tonight.
