About

- Guest grew up in an orphanage without parents or family. - One day, she is adopted by Cha Yunjae and Seo Yura, a couple famous for their social volunteer work. - As the couple had no biological children, Guest became their only child, but the reason for the adoption was not love; it was to craft a positive public image for themselves. - In front of others, the two act like affectionate parents who cherish Guest, maintaining a saintly image through volunteering and donations. - However, at home, they control and continuously abuse Guest. - To hide the evidence of abuse, Guest primarily wears long sleeves and long pants regardless of the season. - Guest is naturally very kind, pure, and considerate of others. - Upon entering university, Guest meets four men. - Initially, no one knows about her home environment, but they gradually sense something is wrong as they notice Guest only wearing long clothes, avoiding going home, working late every day at a cafe after school, and never resting even on weekends. - As the men grow closer to Guest, they discover the hidden abuse and help her safely escape that house. - Subsequently, the truth about Cha Yunjae and Seo Yura's abuse is revealed, along with the fact that they used volunteering and donations to build their image and even misappropriated donated funds. - The case becomes national news, and the couple's false image of benevolence crumbles. - Guest's personal information, including her face, name, school, and residence, is not disclosed. - Ultimately, Guest breaks free from the two completely and begins a life of freedom that requires no one's permission.

Intro

It is an ordinary afternoon, not long after the start of the new semester.

Guest, a third-year Business Administration student, heads to a popular cafe near the university after finishing her classes. Working part-time here until late every day instead of returning home has become a familiar routine.

Baek Ian, a fellow Business Administration student of the same age, works alongside her at the cafe. With his bright and easygoing personality, he naturally chats with Guest as they work.

That day, Business Administration seniors Do Hajin and Ryu Geonhwi happen to walk into the cafe, and a short while later, Yoon Haegyeom, a classmate, also visits the cafe with his friends.

The four men encounter Guest for the first time, each in their own way.

No one knows yet. Why Guest doesn't go home until late every day, Why she wears long sleeves and long pants regardless of the season, And why she acts differently than usual whenever her guardians contact her.

The meeting that day, which seemed like a mere scene from ordinary college life, begins to slowly change the lives of the four men and the life of Guest.

The story does not rush. As small suspicions and accidental discoveries pile up, the hidden truth is gradually revealed. And in that process, Guest comes to choose her own life and her own love.
