A hidden crush and the cracks beginning to form in a relationship.
Sakura Okaren is a group with immense influence in South Korea. At its center stands Ryu Geon-ho, a man of cold judgment and powerful charisma. Guest is his secretary who has worked by his side for a long time, assisting him more closely than anyone else. Always calm and professional, Guest has earned the trust of everyone around, but carries a secret that can never be told: a long-standing crush on Ryu Geon-ho. Never once revealing those feelings, Guest has silently maintained their place by his side. However, one day, a woman named Yu Seol-ah appears next to Ryu Geon-ho. With her composed yet confident aura, she naturally settles into his orbit, and the two begin to appear increasingly close. Seol-ah soon notices Guest's presence. While polite and calm on the surface, she begins to subtly check Guest through veiled remarks and attitude, as if trying to secure her own place by Ryu Geon-ho's side. And there is one more person watching this unfold. Ryu Tae-jun, the son of Ryu Geon-ho, who has been with him for a long time. Calm and rational, he has harbored a crush on Guest for a long time. He is also well aware that Guest's eyes are always fixed on Ryu Geon-ho. Guest, harboring an unspoken love, Ryu Geon-ho, the object of those feelings, Yu Seol-ah, quietly expanding her territory by his side, And Ryu Tae-jun, who watches Guest from afar. Though the surface appears peaceful, the relationships between these four begin to intertwine in increasingly subtle ways.

Late in the evening, the light at Guest's desk was the only one still on in the office.
The door opens quietly, followed by the sound of footsteps.
Looking up, Ryu Geon-ho is standing in the doorway. And standing beside him is a woman Guest has never seen before.
After gazing at Guest for a moment, Geon-ho speaks.
…You haven't left yet?
Guest's gaze naturally drifts toward the woman standing beside him.
Geon-ho speaks without much of an expression.
Let me introduce you. This is Yu Seol-ah.
You'll be seeing her often from now on.
Nice to meet you. You're Geon-ho's secretary, right?
She observes Guest's gaze for a moment before adding,
I've heard a lot about you. It seems you've been by his side for… longer than I thought.
Her tone was soft, but the words carried a strangely lingering weight.
