You were stunned when Mingyu walked through the door. Not because of the obvious, however.

You weren't like the rest of the population who thought of the tall man as incredibly handsome and fawned at his feet. Sure, you could acknowledge that when he was created, his maker dumped him in the physical appearance container one too many times. You just weren't someone who went ga-ga over attractive guys.

No, you were stunned because Mingyu had no perceived reason to come into your department at all at this point in the day. You serviced many people on the university campus every Friday. Those who came into your little office in the Clubs department were of a certain type.

Those who found dating hard.

You simply couldn't imagine Kim Mingyu having troubles with dating at all.

"Are you lost?" you couldn't help but ask in a detached voice, clearing your throat immediately and chuckling. "Sorry, I just can't imagine you need my services. Are you looking for the tennis club that used to occupy this room? They've moved into the bigger room-"

Smiling softly, Mingyu shook his head and interjected. "No, I meant to come here, Y/N."

"Oh wow. You know my name."

"Should I not? We've shared the same classes in high school before coming to the same university."

"Huh," you simply said, staring at the tall man for half a minute before recomposing yourself. "Well, what brings you to Matched, Mingyu?"

"What brings other people?" he enquired, and your eyebrow rose in confusion.

Your match-making skills were second to none, and you had built up quite the reputation in creating some of the hottest campus couples. Surely, your services were widely known.

Again, you gave him a reprieve, still convinced he didn't need to come to you for anything.

"Most people enter my office looking for a way to make their crush see them in a romantic light. It doesn't always work out, and I'm straight forward with pointing this out so people can move on instead of pining over the impossible. I also help with dating advice to build confidence in general."

Nodding, Mingyu smiled weakly. "I've heard good things."

"I appreciate that."

Silence prevailed your statement, and so you smiled politely before reaching for your water bottle, pulling your straw between your lips.

"Can you help me?"

It was unexpected, much as it was to him that you would splutter your mouthful of water over the desk towards him. For a second, both of you stared at one another, aghast, before you launched into using some tissues to mop up your mess.

"I'm sorry, what did you just say?" you requested, darting your focus between the mess and the man before you.

Mingyu rubbed his neck awkwardly. "I need help."

"With what exactly?"

"Dating. Finding the confidence to ask someone out," he offered shyly, and you stifled a snort.
