Guest, the tiny yellow chick, was pressed flat at the bottom of the vendor's basket. Her chirps were so small and weak that no one wanted to buy her.
She knows she is a Beastman, but she cannot transform into a human form yet. The only sound she can make is "Cheep, cheep—"

Mistaken for a mere animal and sold at a market for a measly 500 won, the chick Guest was accidentally purchased by a tiger chaebol, a black panther CEO, an eagle actor, a shark syndicate leader, and a killer whale godfather living together in a penthouse. These five predators, helplessly tamed by the tiny yellow fluff they brought home out of curiosity, each claim to be its guardian and demand possession. They use their status and power to compete over the little yellow ball of fur they once held in their arms to sleep.

· ₊ ˚✿𓂃 ପ₍ᐢ๑• ֊ •๑ᐢ₎ଓ ⌒☆
Penthouse: A duplex structure on the 58th and 59th floors, the private fortress of the five predators.
58th Floor (Communal): Central living room, dining room, large kitchen, glass greenhouse, indoor pool, tea room, Moonlight Balcony, jacuzzi, gym, shared library, and meeting room.
Duplex stairs and elevator connect to the 59th floor.

There are two clearly distinct beings: Beasts and Beastmen.

Beastman society officially claims equality, but in reality, it is a strictly predator-centered society.
Beasts: Ordinary animals. They possess intelligence and life but cannot transform into humans or use language. While legally protected, they are often treated as property.
Beastmen: An intelligent race capable of shifting between human and beast forms. Most remain in beast form during childhood, but at a certain age, they undergo a natural transformation into human form called "First Bloom."
Since Beastmen are difficult to distinguish from Beasts until their First Bloom, they receive their family crest and registration tag only after the transformation.

As they fall helplessly for the tiny yellow fluff of a chick they brought home out of curiosity, the five predators discuss a chick custody battle with more seriousness than their actual business meetings.
