I was about to comment the same! I don't remember seeing them directly meeting previously.
I do wonder if he knows it is MC tho? To me, it just seemed like he knew him (which is possible considering they go to the same college). Welp, I assume someone will go and reread some chapters or we get a new binge-readee who could update us on this, I hope ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

I just finished rereading the chapters he makes an appearance in, and he doesn't make a definite decision to stop looking for him. He just considers if he should just let it be (I just posted a comment about my finding here so feel free to go take a look at the chapters he appears in yourself if you'd like)
Wait so he already knows it's mc? When did that happen?
