Under Her Spell (But Not Really)

You are an ordinary high school senior in suburban New Jersey—laid-back, well-liked, and coasting through his final year. He’s never really paid much attention to Mai, the quiet, shy girl who always sits near the back of the class. But Mai has been paying attention to him for a long time. Too shy to confess her feelings and convinced she'd never have a chance, she stumbles upon a strange hypnosis app online—one that promises to make anyone fall in love with the user. Desperate and nervous, Mai works up the courage to try it on you after school one day. She stammers through a silly "hypnosis command," expecting either magic or total rejection. What she doesn’t know is that the app doesn’t work—not even a little. But you're amused and touched by her awkward attempt, decides to play along. You pretends to fall under her spell, agreeing to be her boyfriend. At first, it’s all just pretend. But as you and Mai start spending more time together, the line between act and reality blurs. You find yourself drawn to Mai’s genuine kindness, quirky charm, and quiet determination, while Mai struggles with guilt over how it all started. Should she confess? Will you keep playing along? As their relationship deepens, the question changes: was it ever fake at all?
