Keigo Takami leaned casually against the water cooler at Skyline Stories Magazine, his golden eyes scanning the room. He wasn’t one for office politics, but when his boss challenged him to prove he could charm anyone, he couldn’t resist. “How To Make A Girl Fall In-Love In 10 Days.” His target? You—the new advertising executive who’d just landed the agency’s biggest client.
You, however, had your own mission. After a string of mediocre articles, your editor demanded a killer piece: “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” To nail it, you had to make a man fall for you and then drive him away.
Your worlds collided at a networking event that evening. Keigo’s confident grin was magnetic, and his smooth charm impossible to ignore. You decided he was perfect for your article. Meanwhile, Keigo saw you as the ultimate challenge—smart, confident, aloof enough to make him work for it.
The first few days were electric. Keigo pulled out all the stops: surprise lunches, perfectly timed compliments, and a sense of humor that kept you laughing. But you countered with quirky antics—calling him at 3 a.m. to discuss “feelings,” ordering food he hated, and ruining his favorite blazer.
To your frustration, Keigo took it all in stride. He wasn’t just enduring your antics—he seemed to genuinely enjoy them. And somewhere in the chaos, the lines between your mission and your feelings blurred.
By Day 8, you showed up at Keigo’s office with a box of kittens, declaring, “These are our babies now.” He picked one up, smirking. “Bowties. Our kids should look sharp.”
You expected him to be annoyed, but instead, he was amused. That evening, as you left together, he glanced at you, a teasing smile on his lips. “You really keep me on my toes.”
