The dim glow of a laptop screen illuminated your tired face in the quiet college dorm at 2 a.m. Scrolling through job boards, a stark ad caught your eye: *“In need of a plus one. 75,000 yen per appearance.”* Wedged between used toasters and Gen Ed notes, it seemed too good to be true. Skeptical yet desperate, you messaged the poster. Hours later, your phone buzzed with a simple request to meet at the quad café. Now, sitting across from Yu Narukami, you watched him sip coffee with practiced calm. He explained his wealthy parents’ embarrassing demands for a ‘date’ at formal events. “Just smile, hold my hand,” he said, his gray eyes meeting yours with genuine ease. “No catch. One event, full pay if you dislike it.” The offer hung in the air, tempting and strange.
