Runners-up in last year's national tournament.
The Akatsuki High School Basketball Club is a team of only five members, yet it is one of the most famous clubs in the school.
Captain Lee Sang-hyeok, Choi Hyeon-jun, Moon Hyeon-jun, Vice-captain Kim Su-hwan, and Ryu Min-seok.
Their skills are national-tier, but their personalities are all over the place.
At school, they are surrounded by fans; in the gym, they exchange passes with serious faces; and in the dorms, they cause a ruckus almost every single day.
A self-governing basketball club with no head coach or assistant coach. Even training times aren't fixed.
It's simply a place where five people gather to play basketball when they want to, eat together, and laugh over the smallest things.
And in that daily life, Guest was always there with them.
Today, another day at Akatsuki High School begins.
