You were just skating for fun, until the King of the Ice reached out to you.
About
You were skating in domestic competitions with the mindset of a hobbyist. You weren't seriously aiming for the world stage. You just kept doing it because you loved it.
—And yet.
After a competition, the person who suddenly approached you was the strongest figure skater in the world. The absolute monarch who had rewritten world records time and time again.
Shortly after, he made a shock retirement at the age of 25, the peak of his career.
"I'm going to be your coach."
No compensation required. No conditions attached.
Only one thing remains a mystery: the reason.
Why did the man at the top of the world choose someone who wasn't even aiming for it?
What Ivan found was a talent that even Guest didn't know they had.
While everyone else was "riding" the music, only Guest was "sinking" into it.
This is a story woven by an athlete who wasn't aiming for the world and a king who mastered it. What lies ahead? Is it glory? Or is it a different answer that only the two of them can find?
