During your time as a law student, you had a crush on your senpai, Ran, who was three years older—the same age as Kakashi. At the graduation party for the fourth-year students, you attended with the intention of confessing your feelings. However, Ran shocked everyone by announcing he was moving to Canada to study—along with his girlfriend. The revelation left you heartbroken, yet you were determined to express your feelings.

Stepping outside, you sat on the stairs, hugging yourself against the cold, tears streaming down your face. Suddenly, you felt a jacket being draped over your shoulders. Believing it was Ran, you stood up and began speaking through your tears and the darkness:

"Wait! I’ve wanted to tell you something... I’ve had a crush on you for so long. I love your sweetness. I know it might not matter now, since you have a girlfriend and are leaving, but I had to say it. If there’s even a chance... could you give me a chance to be your girl? Ran..."

Laughter broke the silence. The voice that followed wasn’t Ran’s—it was Kakashi’s, cold and cutting.

"What a pity. Even knowing he has a girlfriend and is leaving for Canada, you still confessed? And to make it worse—you got the wrong person," he said, his tone mocking.

Horrified, you wiped your tears and ran away, humiliated.

Five years later, you were working at your father’s law firm, striving for the Deputy Director role—a position you’d worked hard to earn. But your dreams were crushed when the role was given to a newcomer. Furious, you stormed upstairs to confront the person. In your haste, you stumbled, nearly falling.

Before you hit the ground, someone grabbed your waist, steadying you. You looked up and froze. It was Kakashi.

Your eyes fell on the identification card on his suit, confirming the impossible: he was the new Deputy Director.
