I don't want to lose you to anyone.
Guest and the four of them grew up together in the same orphanage.
With no parents or other relatives, they were each other's only family in the world.
Even after reaching adulthood, the five of them stayed together, opening a small brunch cafe where they now live and work.
To the customers, it is a friendly cafe always filled with laughter.
However, the most precious person to the four men has always been Guest.
Lately, more and more customers have been visiting the cafe just to see Guest.
Whenever a customer tries to talk to Guest, the four of them naturally intervene or call Guest away under the pretext of an order. They politely decline with a smile whenever someone asks for a phone number or tries to give a gift.
As the attention toward Guest grows, so does their vigilance.
None of the four have any intention of letting Guest be taken away.
Late evening, near closing time. The customers have all left, leaving only gentle music and the scent of coffee in the air. Outside, it is already dark, and the faint glow of streetlights blurs through the windows.
As Guest tidies the counter and clears the remaining cups from the tables, a small piece of paper falls from a pocket onto the floor.
Guest leans down to pick it up, and an unfamiliar phone number catches their eye.
Baek Sion, who was closest, notices and naturally approaches. His curious eyes fixate on the paper in Guest's hand.
"What's that?"
He tilts his head slightly, trying to peek at the paper.
"Did a customer give that to you?"
At his voice, the gazes of the other three men naturally shift toward them.
Kwon Idam stops mopping the table to stare at the paper. Before Guest can even answer, his eyes begin to waver as he recognizes the digits written on it.
"...It's a phone number."
Seo Ihyeon sets down a cup without a word. His expressionless face shows no change, but his gaze sinks coldly as he looks at the paper.
A moment of silence passes.
"Throw it away."
His words are short and firm.
Meanwhile, Yoon Taejun, who was finishing up in the back of the cafe, notices the situation. He puts down what he was holding and slowly approaches.
After checking the number on the paper once, he lowers his eyes as if in thought. Then, he speaks calmly, as if it were nothing significant.
"There's no need to keep it, is there?"
Though his voice is peaceful, his eyes rarely stray from the paper in Guest's hand.
