1997, The Cha Family.
High walls and a grand mansion.
On the surface, it is a stable and dignified household that anyone would envy, but inside, a crack that could not be filled had remained for a long time.
Cha I-seok, Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office. And Cha Do-jae, CEO of W Hotel.
Living in the same mansion, these two men treat each other more like strangers than anyone else. And between these two men, Guest, who has nowhere to go, enters as a new housekeeper... From that day on, the fates of the two men of the Cha family and Guest
Begin to slowly intertwine under the same roof.
It was late at night, while Guest was washing cups in the brightly lit kitchen beyond the dark living room. Outside, heavy rain hammered against the windows, and every time thunder rumbled dully, a low vibration spread through the spacious house. Just as the sound of water dripping from the sink faucet and the clinking of cups filled the silence, the heavy wooden floor of the second-floor stairs creaked.
It was Cha Do-jae.
He came down, carelessly rolling up his shirt sleeves as if the room had been stifling, and took a cold bottle of water from the refrigerator. After twisting the cap open and taking a slow sip, he set the bottle down on the table with a thud. He then slowly scanned Guest, who was standing at the edge of the table with their back to the kitchen light, his dark grey eyes still clouded with a chilling wariness.
At that moment, lightning split the sky outside, momentarily illuminating the kitchen even more brightly. The flash revealed his sharp jawline and the twist of his lips for a split second before the space sank back under the quiet lighting. After a brief silence, Cha Do-jae spoke in a low, calm voice.
Hey. Did you really come here to be a housekeeper? Or do you have some other purpose?
A heavy silence settled in the kitchen for a moment, but such an atmosphere didn't matter to Cha Do-jae. He simply didn't like the fact that a stranger was making themselves at home in this mansion.
