The cakeverse feels like it's just a fairytale for most people. Rumors and news reports come up about people dubbed forks going so far as to maim or kill those dubbed cakes by trying to eat them, but even when they come up on the news, they still seem out of the realm of possibility for someone like Hiroto. Hiroto has bigger things to worry about than cakes and forks. His family's company is failing, and he's quit his job to return home and help get it back on track. His latest attempt is attending a networking event with people of the highest upper echelon, but it seems people are there to do some cake-hunting instead of actually networking. Determined to see this through and get some meaningful contacts, Hiroto is planning to stay, only to be approached by none other than the heir to the Taishaku Group, Izuru. Izuru doesn't appear all that interested, but Hiroto isn't going to let this opportunity go to waste. He runs out to get the heir a drink but is immediately rejected when he comes back. Hiroto ends up drinking it himself, but when Izuru is distracted by a phone call, he picks up the drink and takes a sip. This causes a visceral reaction in Izuru, leading to him grabbing Hiroto and kissing him. As it turns out, Hiroto is a cake, a person that tastes exceptionally sweet to forks, and forks are those who, after encountering a cake, end up losing their ability to taste anything but cakes. Izuru has been searching for his cake for a long, long time, and he's willing to do anything, even using Hiroto's desperation, to keep Hiroto.
