I agree with the comment below. For something smutty, this story is surprisingly wholesome. The past isn't explored much, but we can still understand why the MC fell for his sempai, who was kind to him when he felt isolated from the rest of the baseball team. That kind of kindness stays with you, and you never forget it, especially when you're an introvert.
The ML reminds the MC of his younger, more carefree days and the happier version of himself. Now that they've reunited, the ML has inspired him to quit his exploitative job and regain his zest for life.
I wish this were longer. Some one-shots get serialized, so I hope this one does too. It wasn't groundbreaking or anything, but it was a nice read, and I'm surprised it made me feel emotional. Maybe I can relate to the MC's nostalgia for his younger days now that I'm a jaded adult.
