What if the person you fell for was only supposed to be a dare?
Missy Maramara never believed in love that came with conditions - especially not the kind that starts with a bet. Smart, pretty, elegant, yet simple in her ways, she's the girl who prefers quiet over chaos and sincerity over sweet lies. A third-year college student who minds her own world, Missy never thought she'd catch the attention of someone like Ariel Diccion - the campus heartthrob, the charmer, the guy every girl seems to fall for... except her.
One ordinary afternoon, everything changes. Ariel and his friends, bored and laughing in the hallway, spot Missy passing by. That's when the bet begins. His friends dare him to make Missy fall in love with him in just five months. If he wins, they'll pay him. If he loses, he pays the price. For Ariel, it's supposed to be simple - another game, another challenge, another name to add to his list.
But Missy isn't like anyone he's ever met.
She's calm where he's loud, genuine where he's pretending, and slowly, without realizing it, Ariel starts to change. The playboy turns into a gentleman. The boy who once played with hearts begins to protect one. He finds himself doing things he never thought he would - waiting for her after class, bringing her coffee, listening to her stories, and smiling like he actually means it.
And as the days pass, the game stops feeling like a game.
Ariel starts to fall - deeply, honestly, and painfully in love with the very girl he was never supposed to. But as the fifth month draws near, the truth behind their story quietly waits to be uncovered - a truth that could either break them apart... or prove that even the most broken kind of love can still be real.
Now, Ariel must face the hardest question of all:
How do you prove your love is real... when it began as a game?
