The Guy I Admired Saved Me From a Stalker, but He Turned Out to Be Even Worse

Mihane Kirino is an ordinary office worker navigating the daily routines of her job while quietly hoping to find romance. However, her search for love is overshadowed by a deeply unsettling problem: she has been targeted by a persistent stalker. Despite this alarming complication, Mihane tries to maintain a sense of normalcy in her professional life, keeping her struggles largely to herself as she goes about her work. Everything shifts when Kai Yamashina, one of the most charming and admired executives at her company, steps forward to offer his support. Recognizing her distress, he invites her out for a meal and provides a sympathetic ear for her troubles. What begins as a simple gesture of kindness from a considerate superior rapidly escalates into something far more intense. Almost overnight, Kai transitions from being an attentive boss to acting as both her pretend boyfriend and personal bodyguard. Rather than maintaining any semblance of professional distance, he makes no effort to conceal his new role. As his protective behavior grows increasingly bold and unrestrained, Mihane soon realizes that the man who rescued her from one threat may actually be far more overwhelming than the danger he replaced.
