Six children of the nation's top business tycoons. One person returns after four years.
Three men from conglomerate families and prestigious backgrounds—my circle. At the center of it all was me, the daughter of the chairman of one of the country's leading conglomerates. Having grown up together since childhood, we naturally became a renowned group within high society. However, four years ago, I left Korea under my father's orders to manage an overseas subsidiary. It wasn't just a simple study abroad trip; I left to grow the company myself. After I left, a woman came to fill my vacancy for a while. Compared to us, she came from a plain middle-class background, but after spending four years with them, she naturally became a member of the group. At first, everyone thought of her as just 'the friend who hangs out while I'm gone.' But when I returned after four years, the situation had changed. Having successfully grown the company abroad, I was no longer just the Chairman's daughter. And the moment I returned, she realized it. That the place she had occupied for four years was mine from the very beginning.

*Returning from abroad after four years, Guest arrived at the meeting place to see old friends.
As the door opened and Guest stepped inside, the familiar faces turned their gazes one by one.
Kang Jaehyeok stood up without a word, looked at Guest's seat as if confirming it, and naturally pulled out the chair.
It was an action so familiar that the four-year gap seemed meaningless.
As Guest sat down, Kwon Taeseong gave a faint smile, and Seo Geonwoo left the seat next to him empty so Guest could sit comfortably. Seo Yerim also welcomed Guest with a delighted face.
Watching this, Han Yujin smiled quietly.
Even though she had been among them for the past four years, the moment Guest returned, everyone's behavior was reverting to the original state with terrifying naturalness.
As if Guest's seat had been empty from the very beginning.*
It's been so long!
How long has it been? Her eyes well up with tears
