Mike was staying alone in his apartment, and he didn’t have a single friend to talk to, and he has always been alone.

In the morning, Mike woke up in his bed with a lazy face, and he stared at the window, noticing that something was not right.

Mike; “Hmm… why did the alarm not ring? I wonder what time it is now.”

Mike turned to his left side and reached out for his phone on the table. He tried to turn it on, but it only blinked for a couple of seconds and then went off again.

It turns out his phone was dead; that's why there was no alarm. After thinking for a while, he went down to the dining area and turned on the TV. However, when he noticed the time in the left corner of the screen was 7:45, he felt like he was struck by lightning.

Mike screamed while holding his head; Oh no! It's almost 8 in the morning! I'm going to be late for school! Ahhh! I need to hurry!

Mike then changed his clothes into his school uniform and didn't even bother to take a shower because he was already going to be late. Mike only ate bread and ran off towards his school.

When Mike arrived at school, he saw the guard slowly closing the entrance. By the time he reached the entrance, the guard had already succeeded in closing the gate.

He pleaded with the guard, using puppy eyes and tears visible in the corners, without saying a word, as if asking for sympathy.

The guard saw Mike's face but looked at him with an expressionless face and said in a monotone voice; “Stop it, young man. You look stupid. Why are you always late?”

Mike replied while kicking a small rock, hands behind his back with a pitiful face; “You know life is hard, and my alarm didn't work, so I didn't wake up early. I swear I'll be here on time next time.”

The Guard replied with a scary face; “Alright! I'll let you in this time!” He added, “If you're late again, don't even think about coming!”

Mike was scared, and he replied while shaking; “Yes, sir, I will never be late again!”

Mike then entered and ran towards his classroom, but when he arrived, he saw that the class had already started. So, he decided to sneak in so that the teacher wouldn't notice him being late.

While he was sneaking in until he got to his table, Mike accidentally made a noise, and the teacher noticed him.

The teacher spoke with an emotionless expression; “Mr. Mike, why are you late again? Why do you always sneak in? And you didn't even bother to knock on the door.”

When Mike heard his teacher's questions, he replied with a shy expression; “Ma'am, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way. I just don't want to ruin your beautiful day, that's all.”

When the teacher heard it, she didn't bother to show any emotions because she was already used to it. Instead, she decided to tease Mike a little; “Stop making excuses. Sit down, and I hope that you can catch up, you lazy little handsome.”

Mike's face turned hot, and his cheeks blushed. His classmates looked at him with faces full of jealousy, as if they wanted to bury Mike alive.

Ms. Hope is only 24, a beautiful lady with an angelic voice, a nice figure, and a beautiful face. If one looks at Ms. Hope, one can't help but adore her, the same way one reacts to a cute kitten or a child that can remove one's worries.

While the class started, Mike listened to Ms. Hope's class. Suddenly, Ms. Hope winked at Mike, making his classmates' heads turn 60° with irritation. While Mike blushed…

Mike was a repeating student at the age of 23 in senior high, with fair skin and a normal body, paired with a handsome face and gray hair.

After some time, the class already ended, and the bullies were coming to harass.

As Mike was walking, the three bullies saw him and stopped him.

Bully 1; “Hey, punk! Where are you going? Why won't you lend us some money?” They added, while showing a crazy expression. “Come on, boy, give us some money if you don't want to feel your bones.”

Mike's face went pale, and he was terrified, so he didn't hesitate to hand over the money and ran off like a wind, leaving only dust behind.

Now, Mike was walking on the street, looking into his pocket with a painful face, asking himself while crying; “What should I do? I lost all my allowance, and I can't even afford to buy food anymore. Sob, sob, I lost my whole month's allowance.”

After spacing off for an hour, Mike continued walking on the street.

While he was wandering, thinking about what he could do to earn some money for a living, but Mike didn't know anything about how to earn money because he always slept and read manga in his apartment.

While he was walking, Ms. Hope saw Mike on the street and noticed that he was broke. He almost looked like a man who got lost on the road and beaten by a dog, so she called out to Mike.

Hope; “Hey, Mr. Mike!”

When Mike heard Ms. Hope calling, he was terrified and embarrassed, so he ran off. Mike had a crush on Ms. Hope and felt ashamed to be seen by her in his current appearance. While Mike was running, he saw a child on the road and noticed a fast-approaching car. It seemed like the car had lost its brakes and was about to hit the child. So, Mike jumped in, pushed the child to the safe side, and got hit by the car, passing out.

After a month, Mike finally woke up in the hospital.

When he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but feel awed by the white walls and asked himself in a low voice; “Why am I here? What's with this room? Am I in heaven? Did I die? No! I don't deserve to die a virgin.” He then cried with a pitiful face.

Suddenly, he heard the nurse's voice, pulling him back into reality; “The patient is already awake.”

Mike turned his head towards the voice location and saw Ms. Hope entering the room. Mike was mesmerized when he saw Ms. Hope enter the room.

While Mike was still daydreaming, she went to the side of Mike's bed, bowed, and said; “Thank you for saving my little sister. I lost my little sister while shopping.”

Mike asked suddenly and interrupted Ms. Hope;“Did I die?” 

Ms. Hope was taken aback and replied while blushing; “No, you're not. How could you die if you are in the hospital? I'm so grateful to you that I don't even know how to repay you. Could I pay you with my body?”

Mike was stunned when he heard it. He couldn't help but think about it while crying and said to himself; “Dear God, is this a blessing so that I won't remain a virgin forever?”

Ms. Hope noticed Mike was crying.

She asked with a worried expression; “Are you okay? Why are you crying?”

Mike replied with a dignified manner; “No, I'm not crying. I'm just happy. And, Ms. Hope, I can't do that to you” (while in his mind; “What a waste of a chance, huhuhu”) “because I respect you as a lady.”

When Ms. Hope heard it, her cheeks blushed, and she was flattered.

After a couple of months, Mike was discharged from the hospital. He went back to his apartment and cleaned everything.

While cleaning, he noticed a book and opened it. It started to shine, but Mike was confused because he couldn't read it. There was no writing that could be read except for golden pages.

After a couple of hours, Ms. Hope arrived outside his apartment door.

Ms. Hope then used the doorbell, and Mike heard it.

Mike was confused. He couldn't help but wonder; “Who could it be that came to visit me in my apartment in the middle of the night?”
