   Summary

   During the World Cup 2026, American goalie Ilya Rozanov suffers a devastating defeat to the German team at the Stade de France. He ends up walking around the stadium ruminating about the loss when he crashes into the most beautiful man he has ever seen. Ilya is then ordered to forget the entire incident, sealed with an NDA, and get on with his life.

   Ilya was going to -- except he doesn't. Ilya finds himself curious and realises that he makes Shane curious too. That night, he receives a few notifications on Instagram. A certain prince of Japan has followed him and liked a photo from a few years ago -- a photo of his Calvin Klein ad.

   What happens next is an impossible romance of court intrigue, political mystery, and the cosmic connection between Shane and Ilya, loosely inspired by RWRB.

   OR: Shane is a prince of Japan, he meets Ilya, falls in love, and uses every ounce of his princely privilege to try to meet Ilya again.
