Once upon a time, there was a peaceful kingdom known as the 'Ice Empire'. The kingdom was running normally until a hurricane came and changed everything; a hurricane that was leaving trails of his taste wherever he went, from the cafeteria, school gym, hall, and many more. This hurricane later announced himself as King Atobe Keigo, who literally tore people in between two choices...

Love him or hate him.

Those who loved him would kiss the path he was walking on.

Those who hated him would throw dumps on him.

What about him, one might wonder. Though Yūshi never exactly approved of whatever the King did, he chose to tag along because whatever the King was doing, Yūshi just never grew tired of it. He was all up to the show and King Keigo always had ways to entertain him.

All the King was doing, he was seeking perfection. The King was hailed for getting straight A's in AS level exams despite his busy schedule, even consecutively managing to get 100% attendance in every academic year. It was why his absence that day from the club activity raised a question mark in everyone's head.

It appeared that the King finally caught the commoner's cold he despised, surprising everyone because the King claimed that he bowed to no sickness as it was too 'peasant' to his taste. Thus, along with his teammates, Yūshi decided to come and see him.

Only to see him disappear from his bedroom...

The whole 'castle' was so frantic with the missing of the King that Michael even called all the securities but Yūshi assured them to not worry because he had an idea where the King might be going. But using a rope to flee from his own room?

O Keigo, were you trying to play Romeo? So romantic...

He was always thirsty for entertainment so there was no way he wouldn't track the king down. And there he found the pompous king, wearing another easily recognised disguise. He was wearing sunglasses and a fedora hat that was turning heads instead. Yūshi hated to admit it but Keigo would look effortlessly attractive in any clothes he was wearing. Not even the stupid janitor clothes could hide his charm.
