Chapter 1
Usui Takumi. He was alone almost all his life (well not literally alone).He have a grandfather who dislike him and a half brother who hated him. His so cold family who never cared for him and dumped him to Japan to hide his identity from their high class world.
At his very young age Usui saw and felt the dark side of life. Yes,they have given him all his necessities and so much more,but he never wanted those things all he longed for is their care,love,acceptance and a place he can truly call home.
He always envy those kids walking hand in hand with their parents with those heartwarming smiles and laughter coming from the bottom of their hearts. Watching them from the sideline is slowly breaking him into pieces ..There is only one question going through his mind at times like that,what can he do to be in their shoes? He is even willing to give up everything he have to have a family.
So during his elementary and junior high days he did everything he could to master up almost everything and strived to be number 1 hoping that one day he would see his grandfather proud and his halfbrother will finally address him as his very own brother.
He was successful at being number one. He even earned the title "the prince". He was respected by everyone. Boys envy him so much and girls idolized him. But he was never happy. He never wanted attention from anyone else except from his family. He never wanted popularity.
As junior high graduation is fast approaching, he can hear almost all his the classmates and other students talking about the gifts they want for graduation, many are asking for expensive material things and etc. but him? All he wanted was to see his grandfather and brother while he gives his speech for being the number 1 student in very prestigious school. So he kept praying for that moment to happen.
Graduation day at last. He was looking at the dark sky outside the hall. He is feeling mix emotions excitement, fear of disappointment ,and sadness for the possibility of being alone at this special day in his life. Suddenly it started to rain…Usui watched the students and visitors scattered to look for shelter. Everybody was called for the graduation ceremony was about to it begin Usui's hope was slowly dying until he was called to give his speech .
He looked at the crowd but they are nowhere to be found. Once again his heart was broken. All his hopes of reuniting with his family vanished despite all his efforts.
