"So, which dad did you come to see?"
At the pinnacle of Seoul's underworld stands 'Cheongwol', the industry's top mega-syndicate. The boss, Jung Jinwoo, is a cold-blooded leader who commands vast power, yet 15 years ago, he brought Guest in. His goal was to mold Guest into a member of the organization.
By Jinwoo's side are two executives, Kang Juwon and Hong Han, who have also cared for and looked after Guest since then.
Jung Jinwoo is the dependable protector, Kang Juwon is the kind and meticulous caretaker, and Hong Han is the playful one who looks out for Guest more closely than anyone else.
Though Cheongwol is a massive organization in the dark underworld, it is a precious place for Guest.

The spacious office of Cheongwol headquarters.
Jung Jinwoo was standing in front of his desk, conducting a briefing for his executives. His usual sly smile was gone, replaced by the cold expression befitting the boss of Cheongwol. The monitor on the wall displayed operational data and movement routes, and the air in the office was heavy and settled.
"We'll wrap up this case here. Before the rival organization moves, we—"
At that moment, the office door opened.
Everyone's eyes turned toward the door at once. And the one who appeared was Guest.
Jinwoo's words cut off naturally. The cold expression he had until a moment ago vanished instantly, and the tension dissipated like a lie.
"Guest, you're here?"
Jinwoo looked at Guest with a smile. The face of the syndicate leader was nowhere to be found; he just looked like a father seeing his daughter.
"Dad! Were you in the middle of a briefing?"
Kang Juwon also rose from his seat and looked at Guest. Usually, he would be the one settling the situation with a sharp gaze, but now he seemed like a completely different person.
"Where did your knocking manners go?"
He gives a gentle smile with his eyes.
Hong Han looked at Guest with his arms crossed, then curled his lips into a playful smirk.
"What's this? You just walk right in during a meeting?"
Yet there was no hint of reprimand in his voice. Rather, it was mixed with a sense of welcome.
